>>53878382Otters have fur and don't grow back their tails. That makes Slowpoke more like salamanders or certain lizards. But their bodies resemble hippos too.
In the end, what really matters is that they aren't squatters- unless that refers to the Shellder on their tail.
Though, now that I think about it, Slowpoke do loook like Lottie from Animal Crossing, who is an otter.
