>>27675377A puijlia's tail is much shorter than a river otter's so Samurott's tail size isn't that off to completely match the puijlia's.
>>27675202>they outright DENIED the sea lion inspiration.I doubt it as people saying that Samurott is still an otter are actually counterarguments for people who say it isn't. Because if fans actually knew shit about otter anatomy, people who shit on Samurott's appearance wouldn't even assume that Dewott stopped being a mustelid. You can acknowledge that Samurott has sea lion elements on it's design but still consider it an otter when it still looks and acts like one.
