Tips & Strategies
I once killed a otter and had to log off for a while I was so distraught
I can imagine the noobs trying to tame Otters by knocking them out. And get a dead otter as a result. Don't knock out otters, it will kill them. Just use fish
It is tamed in the same way as the Hesperornis, where you have to carry a dead fish to it. Larger fish, and those caught by Ichthyornis, apparently work better. Piranha are better than coelacanths for taming, and salmon are better than piranha.
They are really hard to find look in small ponds with fish
On The Island, going along the Redwoods and Swamp edge on the west side, you'll reach a sort of deep pool where the swamp ends. There's always at least two otters there.
Just kidnappe it and feed them with fish ._.
Well... I am a otter god... I am here to message all those who may have "acidenantaly" Smooshed my children with a a horid creature. But I will find you. I will Murder you. I will have millions of my children eat you. We also have an alliance with the dodos and all shoulder mounts. We do not take murder lightly this is the first warning.
If you have an Argy, fly over the otter and pick it up with the argy's beak ('C' on pc). Land the argy and let the otter hang out in its beak while you bring fish over. I found I needed to drop the fish and pick it back up to target the otter. After having done this by following around a scampering otter with a dead fish pinwheeling wildly in my hands for 10 minutes the first time, I will never ever attempt it again without my argy.
Whoever wanted an X-Otter back in 2021, you got your wish.

Level melee for it to keep you warmer/cooler(idk why) more melee=more insulation
Level weight for storing artifacts inside it it can carry multiple artifacts and is the only tame able to do so also hide your bps inside em when you get raided only soulless people would kill a passive otter
