These things can incubate a wyvern egg if you boost their melee damage. Also they keep you warm so you could go into the snow biome with no armor but with an otter on your shoulder and still survive

They WILL attack you if you attack them

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

Mobile otters can't take the artifacts!I don't know why but they just can't!

If these guys are that cute that how cute are the BABIES?

Note for mobile player. Otter can't carry artifact at all. So if you aim to tame one to carry artifact, don't waste your time.

The more stats you add to melee damage the more rezistance they will give you.

Reduces weight, protects against temperature, and manages to still be the cutest tame in the game?

Best

Tame

Ever

When tamed put these lil guys on wander so they passively make black pearls and silica pearls

I know a lot of this info has already been said, but this is a full recap of it’s features:

Insulation - Yep, having it on your shoulder protects you from temperature, but mostly cold. Both of these scale with the otter’s attack, but their percentages are different. Cold gets roughy 70%-75% of the otter’s attack, while heat only benefits from around 25%. This is still useful for hot environments, but don’t count on the otter to guarantee remove all the heat from you, it’s more suited for the cold environments.

Egg Hatching - Their insulation also counts towards eggs, giving the same benefits if you have them next to the eggs. No need for an air conditioner, just get 2-4 of the otters, level their attack, and sit them next to your eggs.

Fishing/Pearl Farming - This was probably my biggest issue with the otters. They farm fish for black and silica pearls, but the AI of the otter is weird. There’s a few ways to get the otter to dive down for the fish, though it can still be pretty inconsistent. The solution I’ve found that work best for me is to have the otter on your shoulder, and swim to the fish. Have the otter set to attack your target, and just punch the fish once.

Note: DO NOT KILL THE FISH, the otter must do the finishing blow to get you pearls, punching the fish just lets you target it with your shoulder buddy

Level melee for it to keep you warmer/cooler(idk why) more melee=more insulation

Level weight for storing artifacts inside it it can carry multiple artifacts and is the only tame able to do so also hide your bps inside em when you get raided only soulless people would kill a passive otter

They can also keep you warm from the cold

Mobile player, I was doing dodo hunt (kill 250 dodos. Not as easy as it sounds) with my Griffin and my otter, and my otter FELL OFF MY SHOULDER and landed in water full of mega. Then I start getting messages, "your Harry otter (otter lvl 57) killed a megalodon (lvl 30)" I got at least 5 of these. Go OTTERS!

Wearing them on shoulders also add resistance to heat by 100!

You can also craft a helmet and equip it on them to add to their cuteness and defense!

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

When it’s on your back and your in a hot or cold place they will make you worm or cool and if your just in a normal place they will still have the same affect (hope this was helpful)

You can give it hats I hope this helped

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

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.

Otters are one of the most useful creatures in the game. I’m actually not exaggerating. Either it’s intentional or a bug, but the otter can carry MULTIPLE artifacts. This means, if you are careful enough, you can bring an otter, filled to the brim with artifacts, to an obelisk, allowing you to get a lot of blueprints, but best of all, tons of soothing balm. This means you can make SOOTHING BALM literally EXPENDABLE. Now you won’t ever have to worry about taming creatures!

P.S: They also keep you really warm. With hide armor you can enter the frozen plains.
