The otter has two abilities, one giving you more insulation and it scales with the otter's melee (so only level the melee) and it is also the only creature that can carry multiple artifacts at once. And it can also where a helmet.

I've found my 5 otters in two spots. The first two where the beavers spawn near the waterfall area where there's that one cave (27,48.4) on the top of the waterfall the little water area below the beavers & then the other with the beavers above. Second spot (no…
I've found my 5 otters in two spots. The first two where the beavers spawn near the waterfall area where there's that one cave (27,48.4) on the top of the waterfall the little water area below the beavers & then the other with the beavers above. Second spot (no cords, sorry) near the blue OB where there's that big area of water with that huge weird tree in it. Hope it helps!
Do not take it with you if you are in danger of getting knocked out as it will get thrown off your shoulder if you fall unconscious, leaving a squishy pet vulnerable to whatever is attacking you - in my case, eurypterids.
Listen to me when I say, you will NEED one of these if you’re gonna survive in Fjordur and you have a hard time getting fur armor. And especially if you’re wanting to travel to the blue portal.
Can Cary all artifacts at once.
Use an Argentavis' C-attack to pick the otter up and hold it in its beak. This makes it so that you can keep the otter in one place and don't have to keep track of it while getting fish. It also makes feeding the otter larger fish much easier because the character…
Use an Argentavis' C-attack to pick the otter up and hold it in its beak. This makes it so that you can keep the otter in one place and don't have to keep track of it while getting fish. It also makes feeding the otter larger fish much easier because the character view isn't blocking access to the otter's "feed fish to tame" prompt.
(I’m on mobile) I just built a box without a lid (1 thatch foundation, 3 thatch walls, 1 thatch door and 1 thatch doorframe) by a lake so I could fish for fresh food to tame then I hopped on my pteranodon and I followed the river around the red woods (without the swamp) to…
(I’m on mobile) I just built a box without a lid (1 thatch foundation, 3 thatch walls, 1 thatch door and 1 thatch doorframe) by a lake so I could fish for fresh food to tame then I hopped on my pteranodon and I followed the river around the red woods (without the swamp) to find one of these lil guys and pick him up then took him to the box I made and put him in it. Turns out the for some reason the otter wanted COOKED fish… luckily I had some already so I just fed him that and some soothing balm and he tamed in about a minute. DO NOT READ THIS TIP THINKING ALL OTTERS EAT COOKED FISH IN MOBILE. Up if you found funny or helpful
Only dino i know that can hold 5 artifacts same or different in its inventory plus upping its melee helps alot with the temp. Makes it a great shoulder mount for caves.
you can use otters to carry multiple artifacts
They move pretty fast and you can loose them easily, so I suggest making a pen to put them in. Having a Ichthynoris is quite useful to catch salmon as you don't need to be in the water fighting them, the bird will snatch it right out of the water and bring it to you.
Tame this awesome bro to cure your depression
IT KILLS ANYTHING AND I MEAN ANYTHING WITH CUTENESS!!!!!!!!!
Can keep you warm and cold, and I play on Nintendo switch I can say that it is my favorite tame.
Found this guy in the redwoods river I tamed it and named it otis
Fun fact about otters is that you can equip helmets on them
On mobile, if you make them target and attack a creature, the creature won't attack it. (I think. It happens to me)
If you throw fertilized eggs on them they will hatch.
When doing artifact runs take it with you to store multiple artifact on it
Wanted to tame a big back creature and saw this cutie pie, I had to abandon my mission to acquire this baby cuz she's so cuteeeee, even cuter than my sarco🗿
