For anybody playing on mobile, it’s just a passive tame with raw fish meat and raw prime fish meat.

I saw one of these fellas in a nearby river surrounded by spinos, fortunately I was able to reach it, but the thing is I am a total noob so I tried to knock it out and feed it some fish but right after I did so my dodo murdered it without any hesitation, the poor thing squeaked as it was killed brutally, moral of the story, never underestimate your dodo, especially if you’re around a otter.

Its found in all the rivers so scan those and don’t head towards dangerous areas because they wont me there

These little guys can hold multiple copies of the same artifacts in their inventory. Best artifact hunting tame in game. Common spawn in Aberration’s river where the river runs toward a waterfall that leads to the blue zone.

Upgrade there carrie weight and it can carrie artifacts

To tame an Otter, simply interact with it (default "E" on PC) while dragging any kind of fish. Sabertooh Salmon is the best, Coel is the worst. Fish size matters more than type, so Megapiranhas are often worse than large Coels. When dragging large fish, chances are high that it will obstruct the vision while standing still; Just walk/swimm to the Otter and feed it before coming to a stop in order to keep the fish carcass behind you.

Quite common on Aberration, Otters spawn at large numbers from where the Fertile River delta splits in two (not going to the Fertile Lake) until its fall to the Luminous Marshlands. It's also worth note that the northern section has neither large predators nor Megapiranhas and Mantas on most of its lenght.

No other map has such a noteworthy spawn, but they can be found on most Redwood Forest lakes except for The Center, where it is unadvised to look for them.

Found easily in rivers on Abberation, near Spino spawns and are easy to spot by the cluster of fish protecting them. Sometimes you will see a Carbonemys swimming on top of a group. They eat a lot.

Don't plan on making a fuzzy otter army or Otterman Empire, unless you have a lot of fish income. Upping oxygen and melee may boost insulation, but with the level 55 (88 after tame) I got last night, it was only 12 hours before his food stat was dropping... already had one starve to death after 2 days of not playing.

Farm artifacts just boost weight and its can carry till its overcumbered say its weight 100 and the artifact weight 5 lbs 20 right there

When breeding otters throw Mum into a wooden cage, stand in there when she's ready to give birth and then it tends to make it easier to imprint on the baby. Saves you building a room for them unless of course you already have one spare

Otters can attack and harvest while riding on your shoulder. The damage it deals isn’t much compared to other natives of the Island, but it’ll definitely help to kill the enemy before they kill you. Just watch out for the pikes or spears.

Where can I find an otter. Please tell me

Great 4 getting artifacts goes off weight.

If you can't find a otter in the normal spot you always do try killing some coel.

Ignore the fat guy that I got told you guys I didn’t want to go to get a car so I can with wye W

On mobile, the best place to look for otters is that large river that runs near the redwoods. Otters also don’t require whole fish like the Dododex says, just regular fish Meat will do fine. I do recommend you pick them up and bring them to a safe location though. My otter, Honeybuns, only had a health stat of 48 when I first got her.

You can find them in the river in south zone 2

If your breeding 1 heres a tip. They have gestation after mating dododex fix this

If you’re on a big Dino that is known to kill animals if they walk over them, be careful, Ive killed 2 accidentally on my spino

Oof. In ark mobile you tame this like any other passive tame using Fish/prime fish meat to do so
