Found throughout the ARKs, the X-Otter is a tamable, piscivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Variant classification.

Health-wise, the X-Otter sits at 39 base, making it extremely fragile. With 105% base Melee Damage, the X-Otter has solid damage output. Stamina sits at 180 base, providing decent staying power. Weight capacity starts at 30, giving it minimal inventory space.

This is a passive tame: no tranquilizers needed. Get close without startling it, then offer food from your last hotbar slot. Its preferred food is Raw Mutton.

As a tame, the X-Otter earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Killing a wild X-Otter yields 4 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.84 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
