Biology

Physiology
Samurott is a quadruped, blue sea lion-like Pokémon. Long, white whiskers extend from its snout and head, and on the back of its head is a large, rounded beige helmet-like shell with spikes and a spear-like, pointed protrusion in the front. Its underbelly is covered by a dull bluish gray seashell-like carapace, and its limbs are covered with beige, sectioned bracer-like coverings, looking as if comprised of seashells with the forelimbs’ bracers being the swords called seamitars that it uses in battle. The lower two segments of these bracers are the scabbards for the two swords. The upper segment and spike make up the seamitar and its handle, respectively. Samurott possess three navy digits on each limb, and a fin-like, splayed tail with the innermost section being beige like the seashell-like portions of its body.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Part of the armor on its forefeet is a sword; one swing of it can beat opponents. It can silence foes with its glare alone and can dominate foes simply by howling. When in battle, Samurott can stand on its hind legs and use one of its blades as a sword to fight. In the time it takes a foe to blink, it can draw and sheathe the seamitars attached to its front legs.
Behavior
It glares and howls at opponents to silence and dominate them.
Habitat
As Samurott is amphibious, it lives by the water.

Origin
Samurott is based on a sea lion with characteristics of a samurai or shogun.[1] Samurott's tail may be based on a Japanese war fan. The "helmet" over its head is based on the Murex altispira shell. The markings on its chest make it reminiscent of a Giant otter
Name origin
Samurott is a combination of samurai and otter.
Daikenki is the complete on'yomi (Chinese sound) reading of 大剣鬼 daikenki (big sword-wielding demon). This is a combination of 大 dai (big), ken (sword), and ki (demon), with 剣鬼 kenki meaning "sword-wielding demon" or "sword master". Its Chinese and Korean names are based on this reading. 大 dai may refer to Samurott's place in the evolutionary line, as the 'biggest' and therefore the final evolution.
