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
If you see one early game, TAME IT! It's basically desert and fur armor mashed into one creature, (if you pick it up) you'll never have to worry about weather ever again!
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.
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.
