# Overview

A cute otter for FiveM: seven species, seven extras worn together, ten emotes, and a pet that follows you, can be fed, petted, carried and dressed up.

Cute Otters is an otter ped for FiveM, about 80 cm from nose to tail tip: a big round head with big shiny eyes and long whiskers, soft shaded fur, webbed paws with toe beans, and a thick tail. It walks, trots and gallops with GTA's own cat animations, and has ten emotes of its own.

Players can turn into one, or take one along as a pet. The pet follows them, does tricks when told, blinks, and can be fed, petted, picked up and carried, named and dressed up. With ESX, QBCore, Qbox or ox\_inventory the pets and their extras can also be inventory items, for example to sell them in a shop.

## What you get

* **Seven species.** River, Eurasian, Small-clawed, Giant, Spotted-necked, a Baby Otter with its own big round head, and a Sea Otter with a broad, blunt face.
* **Seven extras, three colours each, worn together.** A beanie, a top hat or a Santa hat, sunglasses, a scarf or a bow tie, and a backpack: one per place, so an otter can wear four at once.
* **Ten emotes** of its own: stand up, wave, groom, clap, roll onto its back, dance, a belly slide that really slides, sleep, a happy jump and a head tilt.
* **Eyes that close.** It blinks, sleeps with its eyes shut and closes them while you pet it.
* **Become an otter** with `/otter`, and back with `/otter off` (your clothes come back through your clothing script).
* **A pet that behaves.** It follows you round obstacles, catches up after a teleport, does its tricks only when told, waits when told to stay, is fetched back when it gets into deep water, and comes back after a reconnect.
* **Things to do with it**, on the pet through ox\_target or by command: pet it (you kneel and stroke its head), pick it up and carry it, feed it, give it a name, dress it up, and make it do tricks.
* **A wardrobe** with a close-up camera on the pet while you dress it. What it wears is saved per player.
* **Optional items** for ESX, QBCore, Qbox and ox\_inventory: the pets, every extra (as unlocks for a shop) and a fish, with inventory pictures and an SQL file for ESX.
* **Silent and safe.** No animal or human voice lines, and it cannot be hurt by default. When it is knocked over it tumbles and gets back up.
* **Exports on client and server**, so your own scripts can spawn, dress, move and ask about the otter.
* **English and German** texts built in, and room for your own language.
* **Standalone.** No framework needed. ox\_target and ox\_lib are used when they run.
