So, I was wondering through the withering(?) swamps on The Island, heading back to the Footpaw, where my base is set up. I came across a cute little female Otter who looks at me with such cute eyes! I rushed into my inventory, and equipped raw fish to my hotbar slot. Right as I got up to her to tame her, a titanoboa lunged out of the water and killed her, before turning it's eyes on me. Long story short, I've been shanking every snake I come across since then. NO MERCY.
