Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a otter? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a otter.
These guys are a passive tame. You have to kill a fish then drag its body to the otter and press the 'feed fish' key. The easiest way to do this is with an argent. With your tertiary attack you can pick the otter up in your beak and it will stay there even when you land. Simply fly to a spot near fish and feed the otter while it's in the argent's beak. If you don't see the prompt to feed right away, drop the fish then pick it back up.
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
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
When looking for otters, you can enable a parasaur's turret mode and carry it with an argy and fly across the river bordering the snow biome. (The Parasaur marks otters as enemies)
Fun fact:Otter spawns at any river maybe a bit rare of them but if you have 2 otter and mated make a farm to became common but on waterfalls it has 45% to spawn on rivers 20-35% but on large rivers(including shore rivers) it has 10% cause of the danger if you tame it anything you kill he/she will gather meat/prime meat/fish meat/prime fish meat on dead bodies up if this help
On mobile: You can tame it passively by feeding it, prime fish meat > cooked prime fish meat > raw fish meat > cooked raw fish meat.
You can pick them up with Argies and tame them right in your base or if you have taming food on your hot bar, you can tame them in the air while the argy is carrying them.
They can’t carry artifacts on mobile but they still insulate both you and fertilized eggs.
There so cute and I love them if your in the right world they spawn like hot cakes near the swamps
Grab the otter with your argentarvis but not with the claws, instead do it with the beak. That way you can carry him from river to river searching for big fish while he is sitting with your argi. Remember to change your argi to passiv
For the owner of Henry Otter...
My prayers are with Henry Otter
On Mobile the taming percent went up about 12.2 (for a level 8)
I like otters I just saw bad boy otter from Dodo kids
On the new mobile ultimate edition this guy eats anything but dragged out fish
But you do have to drag a dead fish to it anyways so it can eat whatever you have in your last hotbar
Find out can tame it while carry with argy.. put fish meat on hot bar and tap on fish meat while flying (mobile)
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
To tame one don’t punch it will have a 0% chance of getting knocked out tame it with raw fish in your hot bar or drag a fish over to it a dead one okay
On mobile you passive tame with raw fish meat! For a level 20, 1 raw fish gave a 9.4% taming so it took around 11 fish meat to tame. After the first feeding interval, it got hungry again after around 30 seconds each time.
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).
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.
Who like to tame just pick it from petra and just feed it it's the best way to tame it don't waste more time on following tha otter
Near the redwoods is a good place to find one.
