I had the same thing happen to me but with my baby Tapejara I was exploring the redwoods with my tapejara Luna and I saw this adorable otter so I told my tape to stop so it wouldn't attack it and when I tamed it I heard the cries of pain coming from Luna and around here were 20 compies!!! I ran over to her to save her but it was too late and she died. And from then on I have a deep deep hatred for Compies. Btw I named the otter Pebbles.

I once had a christmas otter that my cousin named christmas boi, one day raptor claus dropped a gift and my cousin had to swim to get it, he forgot to leave christmas boi back with me, when he was in the water my cousin was attacked by pirhanas, the pirhanas killed christmas boi too RIP christmas boi.

I have basically forced my friend to help me get one as soon as possible and I’m going to name it nugget, nobody can stop me

Deadliest shoulder pet EVER! If you get knocked out, they will jump off your shoulder and kill anything in the vicinity, then curl up at your feet and wait for you to wake up! I got knocked out by two level 85 troodons, and a Raptor. My Otter, "Thug Baby" jumped off my shoulder and killed all of them!

I’ve been searching for an otter of my own for 3 in game days. I finally find one and bring it home to trap in a small container. I feed it salmon 75% tamed, I go in the water for another fish, a piranha this time. I come back to the trap where the otter was and it had despawned :’) now I have to search for another one

So I went otter hunting ( to tame ) I went to a river were my dad told me to go. I get there and there is a sarco. I got o a river beside it there another one so I go to a river closer to my base there was a spino. I still don’t have a otter:(

This isn’t a tip but I have a question what is the otter god?

I had an otter named lilah and I was building my wood base and I unlocked stone so stopped then I decided to finish it to put lilah in and a dilo came through the door and killed lilah and my moschops just sat there 1up =1f for lilah

I found my otter when I was coming back home from a journey. I had never seen one before, and I fell in love immediately with him. So I tamed him and named him Otto, and we were inseparable. I even gave him my old cloth hat. But one day. I was out with Otto and my Phiomia, when a raptor pinned me down and killed me, and also killed Otto. I was honesty crying a little because I loved him. But then I found my Phiomia had killed the raptor before it ate Otto’s body, so I was able to get his implant, and revive him

TL;DR: Tamed my first otter, a cutie named Otto, and he was my baby until a raptor killed him and I. But my Phiomia was a good girl and saved his body so I could take and revive him

This is just a game but there is no way I would be able to kill one of these things 🥺 They are so cute especially when they bring back pearls to you and show you what they found 🥺

So once me and my sister were playing and we decided to tame an otter so I went on my sarco and she went on our parasaur so we where near a swamp and we saw a frog and we decided to tame it and named it hops then we find one but hops died to like fifty titanaboas and we did it for my new favourite

My otter history

So when I first started ark I saw an otter in my small lagoon time to time and I thought it was just a group of otters, not a SINGULAR one popping up constantly. So I thought, so I can't tame this guy (I didn't realize you had to drag a fish corpse to it), I what kind of loot does this guy drop, so I. . . Well killed it (I AM SO SORRY LITTLE OTTER) and so once I realized it was just the one guy and how useful they actually are I felt really bad. A couple day later I found a otter right next to my base, so by then I realized I could tame it and how and I got an awesome shoulder pet. Almost immediately I wanted to go get some pearls so I went to the lagoon again and saw something on the other side, I didn't get a clear sight of it so I was going to investigate it after I get some pearls. I put my otter down and whistle attack on a fish, and so I turns out that the mysterious figure on the other side of the lagoon WAS A FREAKING BARYONYX, so when my little otter was in the middle of the lagoon it annihilated my poor defenseless otter while I tried to kill it with my crossbow. My otter. . . Sadly didn't make it, but SOME FREAKING HOW I SURVIVED. (P.S. I was a low level so all I had was my crossbow and my brand new pike on the island map) I now have firearms and electricity and haven't found and otter since.

R.I.P. my little otter friend.

I once let my otter Nutmeg on roam so she could harvest some pearls for me. I followed her in the water so I could target coelacanths and fight off any incoming threats. I ended up being savagely attacked by piranhas and saber tooth salmon. I was screaming and fighting them off with a sword while Nutmeg calmly swam around looking for pearls. Crazy day in the Redwoods river.

I found an otter and massacred the entire lake just to tame him, his name was snuggles and he didn't even last an hour before dying from three raptors... the moment I get a t-rex I will make them go extinct!

Once apon a time I was with my T. rex and my brachiosaurus. We were chillin when i see this little fur ball running to the water right beside my T. rex and Mind you I had no idea how to tame one of these because I’ve never seen one. So I decided to try to tame it like you would tame any other animal in ark by PUNCHING IT. I punched it and remembered that it probably needs fish and not having to punch it but it was too late. After I punched it once my T. rex took one step back and stepped on the otter and he died.

I had started a game on Valguero rather recently and I had been looking for an otter. They didn't spawn near me, though, and I didn't have any fliers on me to go hunting for one. So I was baffled when a 140 otter turned up and was wandering around. Of course, I immediately wanted to tame it, so I began hunting down fish with my spears and died a handful of times, and eventually I get the guy to around 95% or so. I go and kill my last fish, and it's gone. It swam off into the lake, never to be seen again.

Or so I thought, because after multiple more hours of playtime my parasaur senses an enemy nearby. Now, being a pretty inexperienced player I lived in a very safe area where nothing dangerous ever spawned, and the most that would spawn were ichthyornis. So I check it out.

Lo and behold, the 140 otter returned, still waiting for its final fish. So I drop it in a small little pen, worried it might run off again, and go and kill a salmon for it. After struggling to feed it the fish, I had finally tamed it. After waiting so, so long to find an otter, the otter had come to me.

And then while I was trying to grab something I accidentally threw the otter into a lake where it was killed by piranhas in a matter of moments.

Needless to say, I was a little disappointed in myself for doing that. And now I need to find a new otter.

I tried taming one but it was too hard, the fish I picked was so big it kept on flopping over the screen and the otter was moving to much, when I tried to feed it it just dropped the fish instead, eventually I killed and took it's pelt
