Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a otter? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a otter.
Don’t have a gun pulled or anything while taming the otter:)
I love how on mobile you harvest the fish meat and passive tame it instead of dragging corpses to it
The Argy has a 3rd ability that let's you pick up very small animals with its beak. Grab an otter out of the water using this and the Argy will hold it still in a safe spot on land while you go get a fish. You can feed the otter to tame while the Argy is holding it.
On Mobile the taming percent went up about 12.2 (for a level 8)
The easiest way to tame this guy since they spawn in often tricky areas, build a small pen near your base (fence founds and wooden fences will do fine just stack the fences to atleast 2 up) go to your local otter spawn and wait till they're on the surface then grab them with a flyer and transport them back to the little cage this will ensure you don't have to swim about in dangerous waters trying to tame them, hope this helped :)
You can grab otters with argentavis beak and even land/dismount of your argentavis and it will keep the otter on its beak, then simply fish (preferency with your ichthyornis) and feed them.
Even when tamed, they ONLY EAT FISH MEAT! I was lucky and found this out before my otter even started farming! Garnet is a helpful little boy. Gon’ get him a W I F E
I just realised that on mobile you actually feed it raw fish meat.
You can tame these by fish too.
The easiest way to tame an otter is to first tame a kaprosuchus and then pick up the otter and hold it there then tame it that way
Idk if this is a bug or what but it seems that otters tame meter does not decrease.
I was taking an otter one time on the island pve official and forgot where it went and lost sight it.
Few days later found it in around the same area with the same progress as when I had left it.
I made quick work of taming it on the 2nd encounter.
Use an Itchy to kill and give you a golden sabertooth salmon. Dramatically decreases the time to tame this creature. Good luck!

I saw one of these guys while I was looking for a anky and it said above him feed titanboa kibble. Can you feed otters kibble?
Find out can tame it while carry with argy.. put fish meat on hot bar and tap on fish meat while flying (mobile)
To tame you need to drag a fish over to them.
They spawn near the red woods rivers and lakes but that’s for mobile and they tame faster with raw prim fish that’s mobile also
On mobile u can kill any fish harvest it’s meet and passive tame the otter.on other u have to kill a saber tooth or piranha and drag it’s body to the otter to make it eat it and tame it that way.but yeah
Grab it in an argys mouth and land it on the beach and it can't run away then just feed it fish
Just remember where the otter is then kill a fish and boom tamed
On genesis if you teleport arctic north you can find otters on the frozen lake it's a lot easier since they tend to run around on the lake and not swim in the water, they also usually have blue,brown, or black in their color schemes
