Once upon a time there was a otter named Otty, he kept me warm the first day we met. I gifted him a helmet as I put him around my shoulder. From going cave hunting to farming oil rocks in the snow. It was a dark and stormy night while we were on the way home from an oil run, suddenly a bright golden light shined upon the red forest and Otty, Argy and I decided to grab it. Alas, we didn't know it was in a pool of water as I was dismounted into a rex by the pond. I ran with argy, expecting to throw otty of my shoulder when we got home. That's when I realized he wasn't on me and found out otters dismount when you enter water. The worst part is we never got a notification that he died. MARK MY WORDS OTTY, I WILL FIND YOU ONE DAY! May we meet again. ~

Took a run though the swamp. I got bitten by a titanaboa. I died, respawned and saw, you otter (lvl 3) killed a titanaboa (lvl 30). Do not underestimate. Unfortunately, 2 seconds later I see, your otter (lvl 3) was killed by a titanaboa (lvl 10) one up for my harry otter?

I tried taming one but it was too hard, the fish I picked was so big it kept on flopping over the screen and the otter was moving to much, when I tried to feed it it just dropped the fish instead, eventually I killed and took it's pelt

I had an otter once, her name was bubbles and she was amazing! But she couldnโ€™t play with the Rex or spoon becuase they were too big for her so I got her a mate. His name was oyster. One day as they played in the hidden lake I noticed bubbles had a baby! I gave the baby food and named it Shelly. They were a happy family of otters, all 85 level or more. Then I moved the otters to another small pool of water on stake island. I fenced it off so the otters couldnโ€™t escape and supplied them with feeding trays filled with fish. I checked on them 1-2 times every ark day. One day as I took my Unicorn to check on them they were GONE, I checked tames and they werenโ€™t on the list. Every arrow means one fish for Bubbles, Oyster, and Shelly. Have a nice day!

How I met my liโ€™l pearl. I was adventuring with my raptor like usual when I come across a beautiful pond with a singular otter in the pond and tons of pearls in the area. I thought โ€œ I must tame this adorable bundle of cutenessโ€ so next thing ya know. Iโ€™m riding my raptor back to my base with a certain little creature perched on my shoulder๐Ÿ˜„.

I was on my way to the middle mountain on the island looking for an argy on a ptera. Made it the first time to it. Then out of no where a carno attacks and KILLS me, but I shot it with 1 tranq before i died. Turns out it was level one and only needed 1 tranq to KO. I got back on my other ptera and found out it passed out before it killed my otter and ptera! So i killed it and started to head back WHEN I PASSED THE REDWOODS AND A FRICKING RHYNIO KILLED BOTH MY PTERAS OUT OF NO WHERE. My otter still lives as i see no message of his death. I take my 3rd ptera to the redwoods and DIE AGAIN, dont see my otter anywhere. At this point i have no pteras left. I have to resort to my pelican. He dies. At THIS point i have no flying tames. Pretty sure my otter was on passive flee and wander for pearls. Still planning my attempt to slay the Rhynio and find my little otter.

Ok, so once, when I tamed a lv 31 otter when I was lv 4 and I still have him now. I went everywhere with him, and by the time I set up a wooden base he was lv 40 and took down a dilo on his own. But the best bit is when I was doing a quest ( I ply on mobile) when I was lv 37, and I didnโ€™t bring any of my raptors. Just my little otter, which I finally named nibbles. I was done with the quest, an allo pack came along. 4 of them. My now lv 67 nibbles jumped of my arm for some reason and started to attack. I thought he was dead, but he was putting up a fight. I swiftly made some spears but when I looked up he had slaughtered 3 of the allos and the 3rd was stuck behind a rock. My nibbles only had 172 HP left out of somewhere near 700-1000. This guy is still alive and has many more stories to tell. If this gets some ups, Iโ€™ll tell u another one.
