Seems that they can't gather Black Pearls from Thusos, at least on Crystal Isles.

Put points into melee to increase insulation. Cute scarf

I have used them with no armor in the snow and in the valcano and do not over heat or freeze. Best shoulder mount imo.

I have found the otter keeps me warm in the northern edges of the map, it seems to give about 82% of the melee damage on it into insulation

Pump Melee, use to hatch eggs.

Allows you to carry more than one artifact of the same type at a time.

These little guys can hold multiple copies of the same artifacts in their inventory. Best artifact hunting tame in game. Common spawn in Aberration’s river where the river runs toward a waterfall that leads to the blue zone.

Upgrade there carrie weight and it can carrie artifacts

Don't plan on making a fuzzy otter army or Otterman Empire, unless you have a lot of fish income. Upping oxygen and melee may boost insulation, but with the level 55 (88 after tame) I got last night, it was only 12 hours before his food stat was dropping... already had one starve to death after 2 days of not playing.

Farm artifacts just boost weight and its can carry till its overcumbered say its weight 100 and the artifact weight 5 lbs 20 right there

Great 4 getting artifacts goes off weight.

Put all points into melee and bold the otter all the time, then whistle attack target at a fish and walk towards the fish with the otter on you and it will still get pearls

An otter and a full hide set, u are ready for snow. Mind the “cold” icon. THIS WORKS, 100%

VERY IMPORTANT

While tamed they can still attack,meaning if a raptor pounces on you the otter can actually kill the raptor,my otters have saved my lives from raptors multiple times

Otters are great for regulating body temp! Keeps you warm or cool!

They can hold multiple artifacts based on their weight

They make great shoulder pets and can gather silica pearls quickly. Just a heads up though, when the otter is on your shoulder and you turn the camera to the side the otter looks like it’s been flattened!

Otters can attack and harvest while riding on your shoulder. The damage it deals isn’t much compared to other natives of the Island, but it’ll definitely help to kill the enemy before they kill you. Just watch out for the pikes or spears.

How do you give one an artifact? I cant figure that out on mobile. Tnx.

Really easy tame on mobile and seriously underestimated! Very hard to find high lvls though from my experiences 😔 The best part of them are when you take them fishing for black pearls 🥺 After they kill their attack target, they bring pearls back to you and show you what they found! 🥺
