Put a Rex skull skin on a flak or riot helmet (for maximum protection) and put it on your otter and it’s adorable

They only eat fish meat so don’t let them starve

Helpful Tip: Did you know you can hatch eggs using these mfs? First, tame 3 otters, place them in a triangular shape with the egg in the center, then BOOM!! u got yourself a baby dino. Nature's incubator.

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

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.

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.

This creature has the more utilities than any other shoulder pet:

5.It has reduced weight meaning you can carry it and carry less weight on your shoulders.

4.It can carry multiple of each artifact unlike you or any other creature.

3.It can be used to find prime fish meat and pearls, allowing you to get food while on expeditions.

2.It keeps your body temperature stable, allowing longer expeditions into hot or cold areas.

1. It is the cutest creature in Ark!!! Just find a pirate hat skin or a cloth hat and put it on It’s head and be dazzled by cuteness!!

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

Good tame for staying warm. Can be used to incubate eggs.

Hat sold separately.
