They WILL attack you if you attack them

After being tamed, it will only eat fish (cooked or raw).

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

Mobile otters can't take the artifacts!I don't know why but they just can't!

If these guys are that cute that how cute are the BABIES?

Note for mobile player. Otter can't carry artifact at all. So if you aim to tame one to carry artifact, don't waste your time.

The more stats you add to melee damage the more rezistance they will give you.

Reduces weight, protects against temperature, and manages to still be the cutest tame in the game?

Best

Tame

Ever

When tamed put these lil guys on wander so they passively make black pearls and silica pearls

Well in mobile , it's u have to feed raw fish meat now or kibble or soothing balm , u can't feed the whole dead fish now ,

Up it so that new noobies like me can see

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.

I know a lot of this info has already been said, but this is a full recap of it’s features:

Insulation - Yep, having it on your shoulder protects you from temperature, but mostly cold. Both of these scale with the otter’s attack, but their percentages are different. Cold gets roughy 70%-75% of the otter’s attack, while heat only benefits from around 25%. This is still useful for hot environments, but don’t count on the otter to guarantee remove all the heat from you, it’s more suited for the cold environments.

Egg Hatching - Their insulation also counts towards eggs, giving the same benefits if you have them next to the eggs. No need for an air conditioner, just get 2-4 of the otters, level their attack, and sit them next to your eggs.

Fishing/Pearl Farming - This was probably my biggest issue with the otters. They farm fish for black and silica pearls, but the AI of the otter is weird. There’s a few ways to get the otter to dive down for the fish, though it can still be pretty inconsistent. The solution I’ve found that work best for me is to have the otter on your shoulder, and swim to the fish. Have the otter set to attack your target, and just punch the fish once.

Note: DO NOT KILL THE FISH, the otter must do the finishing blow to get you pearls, punching the fish just lets you target it with your shoulder buddy

Baby otters will die almost instantly after being born be sure to feed it as soon as possible.

Just kidnappe it and feed them with fish ._.

Don't attack! It will otterly destroy you and your tame!

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.

Whoever said this, a big thanks to you, sir! It really helped out a lot, even in Ark Ultimate Mobile Edition.

1. (Lat. 63, Lon. 27) is the more exact location for anyone who wants to find your otter more easily.

2. Raptors, Carnos, and sometimes even Rhyniognatha can spawn around that area, so if you're not feeling lucky, take your fastest Pteranodon and fly the otter to a safe place near water.

3. When taming these cute creatures in Ark Ultimate, you don’t need to crouch or hide from their view range. However, the strange part is that you do need to drag a dead fish to it first, then feed it by tapping your last hotkey (where you’re supposed to put the fish meat).

4. Besides of two otters, I also found two tiny poop-throwing Mesopithecus on the shore. So, good luck if you're also interested in those!

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

They can also keep you warm from the cold

If you are playing on mobile you don't bring it a dead fish instead you have to feed it raw fish meat. Similar to what is done with the diplo or other dinos of that type you just wait for their hungry to reset as indicated above their head and then refeed them.
