Like Kairuku and Dimetrodons, Otters can provide insulation based on their damage status. They are, however, easier to tame and can be carried on shoulder opposed to Dimetrodons, with a smaller hitbox than both the other two while retaining a good insulation capacity, so it's possibly to easily gather as many as 12 around a single egg.

On the con side, their insulation AoE is quite small, so hatching multiple eggs might require a ton of them, wasting creature slots. They have a very low Food stat as well, moreover they are mammals and thus cannot have their genetics stored in the form of eggs inside fridges, so stay ready to feed them fish every 4-5 days.

Otters also act like structure storage units, so one can use them to carry as many Artifacts as it wants.

Level up Melee Damage for portable ACs and living scarfs, Weight for Artifact backpacks and Food as a security measure on breeding stock.

They do not hold infinite artifacts on mobile, unfortunately

Guys no joke this thing can attack you be aware of this

Guys this is for mobile players I am playing on a single player 2.25

And the otter can't hold on to artifact like in normal pc ark I spent hours dying in the swamp for it and found out the hard way so please don't make the mistake

On mobile it’s a passive tame with any fish meat

The only tame that can have 2 same artifacts at a time and can keep you warm and colder to.

🪙TIP:If you can't find one of these cute otters you will have to look close to rivers mostly rivers near swamps but not in swamps here is coordinates to find one on the regular island wich is now the only map available for mobile!60.0°East 30.0°North on a gps simply Lat:60.0 Lon:30.0.If you get there be sure you are familiar with minecraf oxelotle sounds they are similar to minecraft oxelotle sounds and they should spawn near or in those two ponds you will also find alot of cybertoothfish too if you don't enough have raw fish meat!

It took a hot second to find mine, but my recommendation is to look in the red woods (on the island) and make sure you have the fish on hand. Good luck.

Otters are just gods among ark nothing truly wants to kill em we all know that they are just too cute

Once I found an otter on the beach but it was eaten by a mega piranha

you can find these cute little fella's at the beaches (they are mostly in the water)

I'm pretty sure that otters work like scarfs so they keep you warm. not sure if that's confirmed but it works for me

On mobile u can kill any fish harvest it’s meet and passive tame the otter.on other u have to kill a saber tooth or piranha and drag it’s body to the otter to make it eat it and tame it that way.but yeah

Otters can hold more than 1 of the same artifact in their inventory. Great for artifact runs.

Excellent for warmth in the mountains! Raise the attack for better insulation

These guys are a passive tame. You have to kill a fish then drag its body to the otter and press the 'feed fish' key. The easiest way to do this is with an argent. With your tertiary attack you can pick the otter up in your beak and it will stay there even when you land. Simply fly to a spot near fish and feed the otter while it's in the argent's beak. If you don't see the prompt to feed right away, drop the fish then pick it back up.

Isn’t this the cutest creature ever?

They spawn near the red woods rivers and lakes but that’s for mobile and they tame faster with raw prim fish that’s mobile also

I recently found out that they are the best tame in the game.

Use 1: Keep you warmer when holding

Use 2: LIVING INCUBATOR

Use 3: being the 2nd cutest thing in the game (1 is ferox, in my opinion).

Use 4: Can wear hats to make it even cuter, AND, have armor.

Hope this helps pros and noobs alike
