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)

JM here, anyway just wanna clarify that it CAN'T carry artifacts(plural)

on mobile, happy to help,✌️

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.

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

They can carry multiple artifacts in their inventory including multiple of the same one

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

Otter Tips:

1-If you sent them hunting fish, theres a chance the otter will harvest black pearls.

2-You can use otters as an incubator, place 3 otters in a triangular shape, place the fertilized egg in the center, and the egg will hatch.

3-You can place an otter on your shoulder, and it will provide cold resistance if you are in a cold area, or heat resistance if you are in a hot area.

4-You can also strengthen the cold/heat resistance if you upgrade the otter's melee damage stat.

5-If you killed them (even on purpose), that's all good (: they aren't even that cute anyway.

6-They can equip hats.

7-They only eat FISH MEAT (Even when tamed), otherwise they will starve and die.

this bad boy keeps you from cold and heat

I am pretty sure they raise your temperature when you have them around you’re neck so you don’t freeze to death!

Fun fact: I will not aggro wild dinos so don't worry when you die while carrying a otter just worry about finding them.

You can incubate eggs with an otter. Just plop the egg on it

They can hold up to 5 artifacts

IT KILLS ANYTHING AND I MEAN ANYTHING WITH CUTENESS!!!!!!!!!

Listen to me when I say, you will NEED one of these if you’re gonna survive in Fjordur and you have a hard time getting fur armor. And especially if you’re wanting to travel to the blue portal.

The otter has two abilities, one giving you more insulation and it scales with the otter's melee (so only level the melee) and it is also the only creature that can carry multiple artifacts at once. And it can also where a helmet.

How do you get the “Top hat ” skin 🎩 🦦??

When tamed they only eat raw fish meat!

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.

Can Cary all artifacts at once.
