I recommend using it for carrying large loads of items because if you carry the otter (at least on switch) its inventory doesn't count to your weight.
Otter

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Otter in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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…

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
So it says these guys are piscivores and omnivores vote if you want it changes
If your friend kills it banishe him and lock him up for life and make him rember he killed a cute loving creature or instead of banishing just turn him into a peasant and put him to work
Put all points into melee and bold the otter all the time, then whistle attack target at a fish and walk towards the fish with the otter on you and it will still get pearls
found some between the swamp and redwoods. (also I heard that if you upgrade their melee to 300 you won't freeze anymore. Not sure if it's true.)
If you tame it , it will die at soon .it s health slowly turns from 54 to 52 . Then it slowly dies
If you put the otter in an argy’s beak then you can easily drag a fish to it.
Everyone’s saying how they are extremely rare in groups.
I just found three decent level ones right by the cliff On the redwood beach.
An otter and a full hide set, u are ready for snow. Mind the “cold” icon. THIS WORKS, 100%
I've only seen one of these, in a lake/pond size of water. DO NOT ATTACK ANYTHING SEMI STRONG. U can put these cute little guys on yr shoulders and carry them around. I lost my only one to a Thrinsasour or those sloth things that r like gods ;-; in memory of Otto R.I.A.P.…

In ragnarock is often stuck trying to jump river banks in jungle biom
This game is hard, man. I was on a trip, quite a long one, and my 2 wandering otters on a little house (1 foundation) were mating. When i came back, 2 dead baby otters... I didn’t even know they were born ;(
They are easly spotted at some water falls good luck.
VERY IMPORTANT
While tamed they can still attack,meaning if a raptor pounces on you the otter can actually kill the raptor,my otters have saved my lives from raptors multiple times
Otters are great for regulating body temp! Keeps you warm or cool!
