What ARK players use the Otter for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

Fun fact about otters is that you can equip helmets on them

On mobile, if you make them target and attack a creature, the creature won't attack it. (I think. It happens to me)

If you throw fertilized eggs on them they will hatch.

When doing artifact runs take it with you to store multiple artifact on it

Can keep you warm and cold, and I play on Nintendo switch I can say that it is my favorite tame.

Their food and health stats are very low, only eats Fish meat and lots of it. Kill piranhas in the area before sending it into the water as they will shred your furry little friend faster than you can say

"But it was wearing an ascendant riot helmet ffs!"

WARNING! Only feed your otters FISH 🐟 MEAT. FISH!!! Mine almost died because I thought regular meat was fine.

If you are on mobile you can tell if they are starving when they have a food icon above them. Idk about console or pc though.

Up if this is helpful or saved…

Tamed Otters do not eat regular meat, only fish meat. My otter was refusing to eat even though she had plenty of meat in her inventory and plenty of meat in a nearby trough. To remedy this, I tried multiple things; moving the trough closer, giving her more meat, and even force…

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

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…

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…

REMEMBER: Otters are Piscivorous meaning they ONLY eat FISH, ONLY FISH alright?

If you put an eggs near them and they have a high enough melee damage on it any eggs close to it will start to incubate

Put a Rex skull skin on a flak or riot helmet (for maximum protection) and put it on your otter and it’s adorable

If you find a otter tame it, when you put it on your shoulders it warms you up also you can put hats on it (my fav one is the T-Rex one)

Can incubate eggs if you are too lazy to make an air conditioner or fire pit, may need more than one or a high melee for the otter depending on the type of egg.

The otter will not gather pearls on aggressive you have to command it to attack 1 at a time. Also mine seems to be glitched after eating a fish it will follow a random tribe mate or try to run back to base idk if anybody else is having this problem but I'm getting tired of…
