Tips & Strategies
If you club or punch the otter you are a terrible person ?
I grapple hooked it, friend fed it fish while it couldn't run around, just stayed at the end of my improvised leash.
I once killed a otter and had to log off for a while I was so distraught
Otter Tips:
1-If you sent them hunting fish, theres a chance the otter will harvest black pearls.
2-You can use otters as an incubator, place 3 otters in a triangular shape, place the fertilized egg in the center, and the egg will hatch.
3-You can place an otter on your shoulder, and it will provide cold resistance if you are in a cold area, or heat resistance if you are in a hot area.
4-You can also strengthen the cold/heat resistance if you upgrade the otter's melee damage stat.
5-If you killed them (even on purpose), that's all good (: they aren't even that cute anyway.
6-They can equip hats.
7-They only eat FISH MEAT (Even when tamed), otherwise they will starve and die.

This is the way I like to do it it’s probably one of the best way to tame a otter:
1: locate otter. One of the best places to find them on the island is the river around the redwoods this is where I find my otters
2: use argy to pick up the otter in its beak (not talons) and then land on the shore
3: go in the water and kill a fish and bring them up to the otter, (you might have to jump) do this until the otter is tamed
Hope this helps
I can imagine the noobs trying to tame Otters by knocking them out. And get a dead otter as a result. Don't knock out otters, it will kill them. Just use fish
It is tamed in the same way as the Hesperornis, where you have to carry a dead fish to it. Larger fish, and those caught by Ichthyornis, apparently work better. Piranha are better than coelacanths for taming, and salmon are better than piranha.

1) Load soothing balm and raw fish meat into your quick bar.
2) fly your ptera along the rivers looking for a wild otter
3) pickup the wild otter with your ptera
4) while your ptera is holding the otter, fly to a safe height, pan your view around to the rear of your ptera where you can see the wild otter info bar appear
5) force feed the wild otter the soothing balm and raw fish (using your quick bar) in complete safety, while it is held by your ptera.
They are really hard to find look in small ponds with fish
On The Island, going along the Redwoods and Swamp edge on the west side, you'll reach a sort of deep pool where the swamp ends. There's always at least two otters there.
