Crux Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 The otter has three main advantages: By putting it around your neck, you can carry more things, because the what it carries in its inventory only adds half of its weight to your player's total weight It gives you a little bit of insulation, that is, it helps you to resist more heat or cold (you can increase it leveling up melee) And the main one: IT CAN LOAD VARIOUS ARTIFACTS. So you enter a cave, put several artifacts in it and leave the place with a lot of them, saving visits to the cave. First artifact respawn pretty quick; next respawns occurs every 9 minutes (tested in an official PVE Island server) Taming the otter is not so hard: the most difficult part is to find one and run after it with fish without any animals attacking you or the otter. The "taming" process consists of killing fish and carrying their bodies to the otter, offering it as food. Problem is that the otter doesn't stop, it stays running or swimming here and there. You need some effort and a little luck, but any level of player can do it, even a beginner. Reproduction takes a bit of dedication because it is a mammal: you have to wait for the end of the pregnancy without cryoing the mother, otherwise you cancel the pregnancy, lose the baby and will have to wait for the mating timer to reset before trying again. And once born, you will have to stay on the baby's side all the time until it reach juvenile, because there is little inventory space and not much room for food. Also it only eats fish, which is consumed faster than normal meat, and you can't even use kibble. But at least it matures relatively quickly.
