 ===Origin===
-Otamaro appears to be a combination of a {{wp|Surinam toad}} tadpole and a loudspeaker. The Surinam Toad is an aquatic amphibian whose backs are covered in pockets that hold its eggs, which may have inspired Otamaro's spherical "speakers" on its body. Its Pokédex entry also mentions the fact that it creates vibrations underwater, also like the Surinam. Its eyebrows resemble musical notes, and the bumps on the side of its head are similar to {{wp|headphones}}.
