Otter

Immortal Freedom RPG > Non-player Entities (NPCs) > Animals

Otters are carnivorous mammals distinguished by their long, slim bodies, powerful webbed feet for swimming, and their dense fur, which keeps them warm and buoyant in water. They are playful animals, engaging in activities like sliding into water on natural slides and playing with stones.[^1]

Animals do not generally attack unprovoked. They only engage in combat if:

They feel threatened,
They’re defending their young or territory,
They’re desperately hungry,
They’re confused, or,
They’re diseased or in pain.

Most animals avoid conflict, preferring survival to undue violence. Animals only fight to the death if they’re protecting something or they’re cornered. Otherwise, they flee at the first sign of hostility. Predators usually fight until they’re unstable, at which point they retreat.
