Army otter fakemon, distant relative of the Oshawatt, it uses the shell of Shellder as armour when it evolves.

I actually imagine it has to defeat a certain amount of Shellder for it to evolve. I wouldn't include that in a Fakemon game if I were able to make one, but I'll probably still have it mentioned as part of their lore.

Also I would really like to draw a scene with Armawott with it floating in the water, as my idea with them is that like sea otter pups, their coats make them buoyant and act as natural life jacket, but this means they can get stuck floating on the surface when they don't have good control of their buoyancy. For Armawott to dive down into the water they need to pull the tassels on their coats to release the trapped air within them to allow themselves to sink.

Not included with this pick is the bone knife that the evolved form Tactotter uses very similar to that of a Samurott but much smaller than their blade, more like a kunai knife.

Tactotter are known to work in units of Tactotter's to bring down larger prey, they are also rather stealthy both on land and in sea.
