I gotta say the only thing these have going for them is that they're cute... like normal otters are.
Their hp is a joke, their weight is not enough to carry even 4 stacks of fish without getting encumbered... they can't even equip the saddle without becoming immobile from being overweight.

They have sort-of decent swim speed, but diving is messed up and really difficult.

And while the one I caught came with 3k oxygen (lmao), it did 10 damage to a piranha. It took me a solid minute to kill a single fish with a KING otter.

This, along with the Rideable Jerboa mod (the King Jerboas are pretty much useless as well) are 2 mods to get only if you want cute pets, not functioning dinos.

Time to make a army

I think they could probably do with being able to do a bit more damage. At least to fish. I just tried to go fishing with mine and it was doing 12 points of damage to a piranha.

Hello, Is this otter spawns on Cristal Isles ? I put te mod on already for sevral days, and did not find any, thank's for your comments :)

My only complaint about the otter is taming it is tedious, they are too rare to be at the right place right time to fish, and heck you can't even ride them. I'll take 20

Trying to get them to spawn on Abberation... Did the whole NPC Replacement thing in the config of my server but it wont work.. works with other dinos tho... I can spawn the otter manually but it wont spawn automatically... Can i enable them apwning on abberation?

Going to assume this MOD is no longer of the living with the comments below & it has been 17months since last update.

Would love to see an update on this mod <3
RutabagaKoala 23 Aug, 2018 @ 10:03pm 
so cute!

Also the swimming is kinda "broken". You cant dive easily on the King Otter you need to swim circles to get on the ground. Needs to be fixed also with the stat problems.
benai 24 Mar, 2018 @ 5:39am 
The Mod doesnt seem to be correct. After the restart it will reset the King Otter life to nearly death (also the baby king otters will be set to a king otter stat after restarting before it it will have normal otter stats). So it will lose one time after taiming or fully growing all life and after that its ok.

Without an update to this behavior the creature will only correctly work after a restart of the server ot the singleplayer modus

We just installed the mod on our servers. On rag was the first server to tame them an we have 2 there. Over the day both nearly died of low health. Both had food so it was not that. Anyone help?
Kekvit Irae 31 Jan, 2018 @ 2:57pm 
Any news on an update? Baby king otters have the stats of regular otters, which means bred king otters are absolutely, completely worthless.
Hobgoblino the III 18 Jan, 2018 @ 2:27pm 
any word on a bundle of all your mods?
meaka 11 Jan, 2018 @ 2:55pm

bog monster (real) 18 Dec, 2017 @ 12:04am

Problematiq 29 Nov, 2017 @ 6:55pm 
you misspelled Awwwwter. :)
Amarant 29 Nov, 2017 @ 8:57am 
Well, I love the mod but I have a problem and that is that my otter loses his life to death and has the food to the fullest and fish inside, the map in which game is ragnarok. Could you tell me why he dies? .Thanks in advance
JollyRoger097 13 Nov, 2017 @ 3:59pm 
Update to my previous post. Yes the King Otter does show up on the Tek Transmitter Dino Scan.
JollyRoger097 11 Nov, 2017 @ 7:14pm 
Do these King Otters show up on the Tek Transmitter Dino Scan?
elkhearts 5 Nov, 2017 @ 8:58pm 
how do you get you character to have hiar and a beard ? for when I play I get the basic boring look
SheTheTDE 3 Nov, 2017 @ 8:21pm 
if you changed the model and texture slightly you could call it dobharchu
Pugly 3 Nov, 2017 @ 7:44pm 
Is there not a way to just make normal otters rideable and grow in size when mounted?
Bagalu 1 Nov, 2017 @ 9:36am 
ce mod est juste trop bien:steamhappy::steamhappy:
demorebelle 30 Oct, 2017 @ 3:05am 
wonderfull mod !! is it possible to have one with deathworm pls ?
Mop™ 21 Oct, 2017 @ 7:45pm 
if i had a server cluster with this mod on one server but not on the others could i still transfer the dino to the other servers via oblisk and it still work?
KadenTempes 10 Oct, 2017 @ 8:42pm 
@Mistake Not.... They sawn on Ragnarok around blue ob.
Tivra 7 Oct, 2017 @ 1:16am 
Ever considered making a rideable dino collection
I just had a lobotomy 5 Oct, 2017 @ 4:34pm 
has anyone else found these spawning on Ragnarok and if so, where?
Ner0  [author] 2 Oct, 2017 @ 9:54am 
I was away for the last week, will return on the otter this week.
@Kittenborn: Hats will come with next update very soonish :D
@Fireofflare & @Pepelich : Will try to increase it for next update
@Darkborn Dragon: The King Otter is a seperate creature that doesn't replace any existing Otters and should also not interfere with Otter spawns except maybe because they also count towards the dino limit of a certain area / max dino count.
Pepelich 29 Sep, 2017 @ 3:43am 
Will the Watermovement get improved soon? Or is this impossible to change? I rly like this huge Otter but when i cant get into water with them they are a bit useless.^^
Darkborn Dragon 24 Sep, 2017 @ 1:23pm 
Does this mod interfere with normal otter spawns? I've been searching for a normal shoulder riding otter for hours with no luck. Just a milion big ones :/
Fireofflare 24 Sep, 2017 @ 10:02am 
The otter takes a while to go up/down, and in often cases that almost killed me because of it. It would be nice if that was fixed, but other than that this mod is quite adorable. A nice touch to my otter family.
123 22 Sep, 2017 @ 4:09pm 
I Want Giga sized Otter mount/Boss
Firespark81 16 Sep, 2017 @ 1:12pm 
I just stopped by to let you know I featured your mod in my weekly mod series https://youtu.be/onk7Ig6pSOM . This is not an ad so feel free to delete it. I just wanted to let you know your mod was in my video. :)
nicoh99 14 Sep, 2017 @ 4:16am 
so cute
Kittenborn 13 Sep, 2017 @ 1:03pm 
Will the otters be able to wear hats like the small ones?
Goldirah75 13 Sep, 2017 @ 3:54am 
cool i missed those mods you make
MidNiGhT 13 Sep, 2017 @ 1:56am 
not add asm T^T
Rhomak 12 Sep, 2017 @ 6:36pm 
damn this otter is HUGE
Risinq 12 Sep, 2017 @ 6:30am 
R.I.P Otter!!
sheriffbuttram 11 Sep, 2017 @ 10:16pm 
what a cute otter :3
Melee_Mage03 10 Sep, 2017 @ 10:38pm 
@TEM187... and also animation for landing if that is not too much, cause no one likes pheonix rn
TEM187 10 Sep, 2017 @ 9:16pm 
You should really do a Pheonix mod. Y'know, give it a saddle, have it gain more weight, little improvements. :)
Sugarina 10 Sep, 2017 @ 5:42pm 
I'm on Ragnarok and no King Otters have spawned. I did a wild dino wipe, then went to where "otters" were showing on Tek Scanner, tamed them all, did a server command to kill all Coels, hopeing that would make some spawn, but still nothing. :/
AdmiralTiago 10 Sep, 2017 @ 4:33pm 
This mod is awesome! We now have a gigantic melanistic otter as our tribe's mascot. If I may make a suggestion, I would rename the king otter Siamogale, which is a real life prehistoric otter species about the sie of the ingame one.
Sjokepoke 10 Sep, 2017 @ 4:31pm 
Love your mods, keep up the good work! ^^
Ner0  [author] 10 Sep, 2017 @ 2:57pm 
@Nana: So you feel the animation speed does not match the how fast you're moving, will try to synchronize it ^^
