Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Otter in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

On genesis if you teleport arctic north you can find otters on the frozen lake it's a lot easier since they tend to run around on the lake and not swim in the water, they also usually have blue,brown, or black in their color schemes

Somehow my lvl23 gives me about 425 hypothermic insulation. The hell game... I’m not against my cute little scarf bro being useful as heck though. I love these guys

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…

When looking for otters, you can enable a parasaur's turret mode and carry it with an argy and fly across the river bordering the snow biome. (The Parasaur marks otters as enemies)

I can forgive raiding my base

I can forgive targeting

I can still forgive bullying

BUT I WILL NEVER FORGIVE KILLING A OTTER

Otters will also farm not only silica pearls but black pearls. It is a great substitute for killing those weird underwater scorpion things.

They can hold multiple of the same artifact so when you can breed a otter meant to carry artifacts and just camp artifacts for element so you don't have to repeat a cave 100 times

I found them in a cave around viking bay 2, sometimes need to kill all the fish in there as they share the same spawn space.
