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.

Make sure to keep this creature on the ground when travelling in mobile cause they fall down automatically when you leave the game and enter again. Hope this hepled

Can hold artifacts why a top hat idk

Can hold multiple artifacts can keep you warm and can keep you cold conform you white pearls and also just a really cute pet to keep around in a really easy to tame but hard to find but it is worth it. I suggest getting otter as soon as you can early game.

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

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

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

on mobile, happy to help,✌️

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

this is easily the best shoulder pet in the entire game like after a couple levels health and melee go up so much so he can help and protect you at least a little he helps regulate your body temperature so you don't get hot or cold and this is just adorable don't forget the fact that he can hold artifacts

this bad boy keeps you from cold and heat

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.

They can hold up to 5 artifacts

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

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.

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.

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.

Can Cary all artifacts at once.

Tame this awesome bro to cure your depression

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.

you can use otters to carry multiple artifacts
