Otamamon is an Amphibian Digimon. It is a larva Digimon whose skin has not yet fully hardened because it chose to live underwater. It swims in lakes and rivers upstream of the Net Ocean with its large tail, and occasionally climbs up onto rocks with its developed forelimbs and does vocal training. Its mostly undeveloped hind limbs act as rudders in place of its tail, which has gained propulsive power, contrary to typical organisms. It is valuable among Rookie levels in that it signals its upcoming digivolution clearly, but since its potential for mutation is extremely high, caution is necessary in its training.[5]

Shoutmon however, was pissed off at being attacked and easily defeats the two of them despite the 2 on 1 disadvantage and forces to two of them to apologise to it. After Shoutmon learns why the two of them were fighting it tells them to cancel out their hard feelings by rocking out. The two Digimon have no clue what rocking out is and are mesmerised when Shoutmon performs for them. Excited about being able to rock out with Shoutmon, the duo suggest to get even more Digimon to play music with and convince a Gekomon and ShogunGekomon to join after Shoutmon defeats ShogunGekomon in a music battle.

Their objections are proven just when Etemon states it was going to force them all to work off their butts for it and force itself as leader.

Etemon attempts to leave the stage with its tail between its legs however Shoutmon, to the shock of Etemon, still invites it to join the band.
