This card is the lswarm counterpart of Constellar Pollux.
According to the Overlay Guide 2, Evilswarm Castor is not a corrupted Constellar Pollux, but his twin brother who was corrupted.
Castor (Greek for beaver or he who excels) is the twin brother of Pollux (also known as Polydeuces) in classical mythology. Castor is often portrayed as the mortal half-brother of Pollux, who is the divine son of Zeus.
This card's ATK is 50 points greater than Pollux, and its DEF is 50 less.
This monster's spikes are on his left side, while those of Pollux are on the right.
This monster is right-handed, while Pollux appears to be left-handed.
This card's effect is similar to Constellar Pollux, but focusing on lswarm instead of Constellar.
Castor, following the Constellar naming scheme, is also based on one of the brightest stars in the Gemini constellation. Although Castor has the Bayer designation Alpha, it is actually the second brightest in the constellation after Pollux.
This monster appears in the artworks of Constellar Meteor, Constellar Star Cradle and Ordeal of the Hero.
In Constellar Star Cradle, he is missing the red lswarm symbol from his hip plate.
