If you start to overheat or freeze to much tame

one of these guys. Because they can control

Already said but worth saying again - upgrade its melee damage for more cold resistance!

The otter can be very useful for gathering fish meat — it will harvest fish on demand. You can also use it to forage for Silica Pearls, and it will occasionally find Black Pearls.

Helpful Tip: Did you know you can hatch eggs using these mfs? First, tame 3 otters, place them in a triangular shape with the egg in the center, then BOOM!! u got yourself a baby dino. Nature's incubator.

I’ve read many of the comments and I just want to clarify that the otter insulates you. Meaning yes it will protect you from the cold, however it also helps keep you cool from heat.

Increasing melee damage increases the hypothermic and hyperthermic insulations on the carrier.

Fun fact: If your on mobile, you can just tap on tames and you’ll be able to summon your lost companions.

To the person that lost Otty, I’m not sure if you knew this but if he’s alive, you’ll be able to get him back, he won’t have his inventory items though

it's really important to feed your otter raw fish meat or it will starve! They don't eat normal meat. Learned the hard way. Never again. RIP Nugget.

They can carry multiple artifacts, even on official, and provide hypothermic insulation against the cold. Literally a must have for running artifacts if you plan to spam run boss fights for element. 10/10 would smash again.

Quick Tip: You can equip them with a Heavy Miner’s helmet if you want them to also work as a light shoulder pet!
