I recently found out that they are the best tame in the game.

Use 1: Keep you warmer when holding

Use 2: LIVING INCUBATOR

Use 3: being the 2nd cutest thing in the game (1 is ferox, in my opinion).

Use 4: Can wear hats to make it even cuter, AND, have armor.

Hope this helps pros and noobs alike

Everyone mentions that they regulate your heat. I want to give you an idea how much.

Are you sick and tired of always changing your armor depending on temperatures where you’re at on the map? Well look no further! I recommend ascendant ghillie and one of these bad boys (slaps the otter on its butt) around your neck!

No, but all jokes aside, it’s literally the only thing I wear. I completed all cave runs with this combo. The coldest place on the map I’ve found is at the bottom of the ice cave. At -22° I wasn’t even cold because of the otter. And the hottest temps on Carno island and the lava cave, he’s kept me cool.

Last night I landed on a rock to try and tame a archelon. Accidentally tossed the otter off and he went through the rock to the bottom (250m) of the ocean. After I finally got everything prepped to go down and get him, he was on herbivore island 800m away. He swam back to my last base we were at. Not sure if they’re supposed to do that, but it’s pretty damn cool!

Do you say they’re just cute tames? No real use? WRONG! I took my level three otter out and got it to kill a fish. When I went into my house to get the fish meat out of it’s inventory, there was twelve fish meat AND 1 silica pearl. And you might say, oh, silica pearls are easy to get. Oh? Well then how easy is it to get a BLACK PEARL? Oh, pretty easy, cause yeah, my otter had that too! They can just kill fish and get pearls! Up if you find true and helpful!

They are a rare shoulder pet, you find them in rivers, they are very useful though, they can warm you in cold climates, they are the only tame (that I know of) that can hold multiple of each artifacts, and they can be set on wander to collect black pearls and silica pearls over time. 🦦

For mobile users, these cute little ones are the best way for getting black pearls

1 get your self to the hidden lake with your otter

2 carry the otter on your shoulder

3 get in the pond and whistle attack on the fish

4 swim close to the targeted fish and let the otter do its job

This method have a high rate almost one of 2 or three fishes will give you a black pearp

To tame these lil cuties use raw fish meat or raw prime fish meat I mostly find them in or near the footpaw regions region if you see one tame it fast or it could e killed or you could just lose track of it because of its small size once you tame them they provide the following utilities 1:they are frikin adorable 2:if they ride on your shoulder they keep you warm in the cold and cool in heat 3:they are frikin adorable 4: they are great at harvesting silica pearls and black pearls(punch a coleocanth and let the otter kill it and then if it's in water it will lay on its back and appear to hold a calm shell or black clay shell the otter has to kill the fish to harvest the pearls) 5:they are frikin adorable: these cuties are the best early game tames in my opinion I hope this helps you and let me know if I should post more tips thanks guys 👍-DARKSTAR
