Overview

The Otter is a small, friendly mammal found near waterways across the ARK. Known for its excellent swimming abilities and friendly nature, the Otter is an ideal early-game companion. Once tamed, it can harvest fish from water and has a chance to collect Silica Pearls and even Black Pearls. It can be shoulder-mounted and wears hats, making it both useful and adorable.

Found along the Island

Domesticated

There are few creatures which provide the companionship that Lutra Peloso does. Rather than traveling beside you, it would prefer to comfortably rest on your back, providing insulation. Once domesticated, it can be told to harvest fish on demand, with a specific goal in mind from the fish that it consumes, the otter has a knack for foraging silica pearls, and can even yield a slight chance at finding black pearls within!
