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

Otter Tips:

1-If you sent them hunting fish, theres a chance the otter will harvest black pearls.

2-You can use otters as an incubator, place 3 otters in a triangular shape, place the fertilized egg in the center, and the egg will hatch.

3-You can place an otter on…

this is easily the best shoulder pet in the entire game like after a couple levels health and melee go up so much so he can help and protect you at least a little he helps regulate your body temperature so you don't get hot or cold and this is just adorable don't…

If you put an eggs near them and they have a high enough melee damage on it any eggs close to it will start to incubate

Put a Rex skull skin on a flak or riot helmet (for maximum protection) and put it on your otter and it’s adorable
