ARK: Survival Ascended features the Otter as a tamable, piscivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It falls within the Shoulder Pet classification.
With 40 base Health, the Otter is glass-cannon fragile. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it decent hitting power. With 180 base Stamina, the Otter has moderate endurance. Weight capacity starts at 30, giving it very limited carrying capacity.
Taming the Otter doesn't require unconsciousness. Instead, sneak up to it and hand-feed its preferred food. Its preferred food is Sabertooth Salmon (1.0x).
After taming, the Otter is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Killing a wild Otter yields 4 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.84 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
