You can put hats on 'em. Hope this helps

I once had an otter that I named harry otter , he was a great otter he got me all the silica and black pearls I needed, he once saved me from a megalodon , he kept me warm to, he was a great companion I took him almost everywhere,but one day I was farming pearls with him I threw him at a fish to get pearls from it but instead he disappeared I looked and looked for him only to not find him but uneven got a message that he was dead, he's still out there somewhere, I still look for him to this day. #prayforharryotter

The otter can be very useful for gathering fish meat — it will harvest fish on demand. You can also use it to forage for Silica Pearls, and it will occasionally find Black Pearls.

Can Cary all artifacts at once.

Increasing melee damage increases the hypothermic and hyperthermic insulations on the carrier.

It increases your insulation. With fur armor and a otter. The winter mountain won't kill you anymore

Do not take it with you if you are in danger of getting knocked out as it will get thrown off your shoulder if you fall unconscious, leaving a squishy pet vulnerable to whatever is attacking you - in my case, eurypterids.

HUGE TIP!!! Says omnivore but no berry I know will sate it's hunger

When doing artifact runs take it with you to store multiple artifact on it

Something most don't know.... glitched right now. Otter can hold more than one of the SAME artifact. Upvote so others know

The otter will not gather pearls on aggressive you have to command it to attack 1 at a time. Also mine seems to be glitched after eating a fish it will follow a random tribe mate or try to run back to base idk if anybody else is having this problem but I'm getting tired of chasing it after every fish.

After being tamed, it will only eat fish (cooked or raw).

The islands jerboa,only it is an omivore,so cute I'll die soon and for some reason People seem to hav read over the fact it can get pearls and sometimes black pearls.

230 melee damage level 41. Otter gets 1-2 silica pearls per fish. After killing 4 fish the otter had 1 black pearl and 5 silica pearls

To have it bring you silica pearls you tell it to attack any fish. Double tap F while looking at a fish.

Only dino i know that can hold 5 artifacts same or different in its inventory plus upping its melee helps alot with the temp. Makes it a great shoulder mount for caves.

Can gather silica amd black pearls simultaneously. Sent mine to attach a fish, he got 1 silica pearl, 1 black pearl, and 4 fish meat.

Don’t drop in lava as it will die

Their food and health stats are very low, only eats Fish meat and lots of it. Kill piranhas in the area before sending it into the water as they will shred your furry little friend faster than you can say
"But it was wearing an ascendant riot helmet ffs!"

If you live up north close to the snow biome it's recomended to keep one of these cuties on you at all times so that way you can resust the weather better! The higher the level the better :P
