Otters are incredibly hard to find and will occasionally wander off while you look for another fish.

A great way to solve this problem is by using an Argentavis and picking up the Otter you wish to tame in its beak (C on PC, R3 on PS).

Once you land, the Argentavis doesn’t drop the Otter but rather keeps it in its beak.

Now you can freely go find some fish without worrying about your Otter escaping.

If the Otter is in water, you can either use an Equus with a Lasso, Wild Flowers, or Honey to bait it out of the water.

Near the redwoods is a good place to find one.

It's a handfeed tame give it fish meat and your fine the can be great when you are cold just pick them up

Your fellow survivor

To tame these lil cuties use raw fish meat or raw prime fish meat I mostly find them in or near the footpaw regions region if you see one tame it fast or it could e killed or you could just lose track of it because of its small size once you tame them they provide the following utilities 1:they are frikin adorable 2:if they ride on your shoulder they keep you warm in the cold and cool in heat 3:they are frikin adorable 4: they are great at harvesting silica pearls and black pearls(punch a coleocanth and let the otter kill it and then if it's in water it will lay on its back and appear to hold a calm shell or black clay shell the otter has to kill the fish to harvest the pearls) 5:they are frikin adorable: these cuties are the best early game tames in my opinion I hope this helps you and let me know if I should post more tips thanks guys 👍-DARKSTAR

So, having a hard time finding one? Well if you do find one, listen really closely to the sounds it makes. Then, to tame more, just simply fly over rivers (not swamp rivers) and listen for that noice. It’s especially easy when you have 5 otters trying to make their noise over 15 other tames :/

Hope this helped! Please up so more people get these cute tames! (Btw they can wear any hats! Actually if you do get a top hat, well, look at the otter picture and realize that could be your otter).

a BASTARD spino came up and killed my new equus and my new otter. r.i.p toupe and Sir Otterting

They can hold multiple of the same artifact so when you can breed a otter meant to carry artifacts and just camp artifacts for element so you don't have to repeat a cave 100 times

I found them in a cave around viking bay 2, sometimes need to kill all the fish in there as they share the same spawn space.

On mobile they don t have the ability of carrying 5 artyfacts.

If you put it next to a wyvern egg it will keep it warm but easier with two other

This is the way I like to do it it’s probably one of the best way to tame a otter:

1: locate otter. One of the best places to find them on the island is the river around the redwoods this is where I find my otters

2: use argy to pick up the otter in its beak (not talons) and then land on the shore

3: go in the water and kill a fish and bring them up to the otter, (you might have to jump) do this until the otter is tamed

Hope this helps

Use one of these guys to hatch eggs, just drop one next to it and it will hatch. Also mine killed a raptor

They are the only creatures that can hold more then one artifact

Umm is it normal that my otter got a black pearl on her first fish kill,,, im on mobile

These amazing guys can carry MULTIPLE artifacts.

You can put hats on their heads.

They will attack back.

They will warm your shoulders.

They are passive tame. Drag a dead fish over to them and feed it to them to tame them.

Just found 2 of them at South 1 at the bay ahead the Swamps.

Otters give you both hyperthermic AND hypothermic insulation-not everyone knows this. Also if you know where they spawn on lost island that would be great cuz I can't find them anywhere. You otter tame these dudes-best shoulder pet on the island by far.

Don’t have a gun pulled or anything while taming the otter:)

You can insulate eggs with Otters. Throw the egg(s) next to the otter, and it will start warming, or cooling the egg. I’ve tried it with Yuty, Bronto, and lystro eggs. This also woks with Dimetrodons.
