Already said but worth saying again - upgrade its melee damage for more cold resistance!

it's really important to feed your otter raw fish meat or it will starve! They don't eat normal meat. Learned the hard way. Never again. RIP Nugget.

I’ve read many of the comments and I just want to clarify that the otter insulates you. Meaning yes it will protect you from the cold, however it also helps keep you cool from heat.

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.

Note for mobile player. Otter can't carry artifact at all. So if you aim to tame one to carry artifact, don't waste your time.

Fun fact: If your on mobile, you can just tap on tames and you’ll be able to summon your lost companions.

To the person that lost Otty, I’m not sure if you knew this but if he’s alive, you’ll be able to get him back, he won’t have his inventory items though

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.

Cute little fact about ark otters. You can put little hats on them(can be any hat, skinned or armor). They also help to keep you warm when you carry them

Name one Harry Otter and equip a head item with the nerdy glasses skin.

Your welcome.

Increasing melee damage increases the hypothermic and hyperthermic insulations on the carrier.
