You can tame these by fish too.
I play on a ps4 with admin commands and got a lol 200 with a blondy color it was so cute!!!
Have 2 people taming it. One watching and following it and the other getting fish, if there is only one you will probably lose then as they are good swimmers
On Aberration having trouble taming otters? Use a crab pick it up dip claw in water now otter is high enough to tame. No more dead fish blocking feeding prompt. Still tricky but faster by far. Tilting crab on rock or slight grade on side of river helps to dip claw, deeper pools also.
I saw one of these guys while I was looking for a anky and it said above him feed titanboa kibble. Can you feed otters kibble?
Kill it and it will haunt u and send megalodon your way
You need and icthyornis to catch fish and the you drag the fish to it and hand feed the otter to tame
Imagine riding on a giga ok? Stomping along and then BOOM on the screen: your destroyer (giga) has killed a otter and then I killed my giga and fed it to my Griffin I was so MAD!!!
For mobile:
For a level 42 otter, raw fish increased tame bar by 14.2% and raw prime fish meat went up by around 42.7%.
Might be off by a couple of decimals and will obviously decrease in effectiveness as otter level increases!
I’m no expert but I think I’ve found the best way to tame these guys. All you need is an Argentavis and 5-8x primitive spears. Our plan is to snatch the otter from the surface of the water with the Argy’s mouth grab (click right stick or C on pc). This part might seem a lil daunting but I believe in you. Once you’ve scooped up the otter keep it in the mouth of the Argy and find a nice body of water with plenty of sabertooth salmon. Land on the shore close to the water (the otter will stay in the argys mouth). Now use the primitive spears to kill sabertooth salmon (or any large fish). When killing a fish with primitive spears it will automatically start dragging the body. Now here comes the best part. With the otter in the Argys mouth which will be raised above you, it is actually possible and super simple to feed the fish to our otter friend. You now have an Otter with none of the headache.
I have 6! 4 of them are common colors, 1 is green and magenta, and the other is pink and purple!
Okay, so the way I tamed them is simply by first: kill any dinosaurs near it or in range of otter, next eat a rare flower, then it will come up to you and nibble on your argy (preferred mount cuz it can pick up the otter in beak), then use a ithyornis (or a weapon to kill the sabertooth salmon if you don’t have a ithy yet), then drag the magical (or less magical) fish over to the otter and feed it!
Worked 10/10 for me (it can get a bit annoying when the fish keeps getting in your face)
Adorable little savages! Dont get to close
