Taming Calculator

To tame an otter, kill some fish, approach the otter, and then use the action button to feed the fish to it. Level of fish does not impact taming. The Sabertooth Salmon is by far the most effective fish, followed by the Piranha and the Coelacanth. Please ignore timing and effectiveness as calculations are not yet complete.

Dear owner of Henry otter, he is fine you dont need to worry abput him. He was simply accepted into Woghorts and the disappering you saw was simply him entering fish #13 3/4.

I once had an otter that I named harry otter , he was a great otter he got me all the silica and black pearls I needed, he once saved me from a megalodon , he kept me warm to, he was a great companion I took him almost everywhere,but one day I was farming pearls with him I threw him at a fish to get pearls from it but instead he disappeared I looked and looked for him only to not find him but uneven got a message that he was dead, he's still out there somewhere, I still look for him to this day. #prayforharryotter

The otter can be very useful for gathering fish meat — it will harvest fish on demand. You can also use it to forage for Silica Pearls, and it will occasionally find Black Pearls.

These little guys are so much easier to tame in mobile, but harder to find. You still need to kill a megipirahna, but you don’t need to grab its corpse to feed the otter. After harvesting its meat you can easily walk up to it and feed it until it’s tamed. It doesn’t run away in mobile, and I’m sure you can use any fish meat. Like so Dododex sees!

These otters live near streams and rivers

I recently had tamed a low level otter in Ark Mobile. When ot was tamed it had the weight of 38kg. When I took the otter to the cave for some reason it didn't allow me to place artificts to the otter's inventory
