Ōtonoto

Grimm Classification: Chipmunk

Grimm Title: Ōtonoto

Threat Ranking: Ranging from E to S

Appearance
The Ōtonoto are chipmunk-like grimm which size can range from a basketball to a small baby. They have rather large heads covered by the usual grimm mask with red markings unique to each individual grimm. They have large, glowing red eyes and a pouch-like organ attached to the bottom of their jaws that reaches down to the base of the neck. Their bodies are slim with their backs covered by a bone plates. On the tip their hands and feet are long, blade-like bone claws which are used hunting prey or for eating.

Abilities
They are social creatures that hunt in groups. A Major is usually a group's leader and hunt their prey from the top of trees.

Their pouch organs functions like a frog's, and are capable of creating sounds in varying volumes and depths. They usually use this for communication and have certain calls that pertain to certain commands.

The true reason why they can be so dangerous are the fact that when combined, a group's calls can actually cause nausea of varying degrees depending on the size of the group. The larger the group, the worst the feeling. Even the greatest of hunters can be incapacitated in just under 5 minutes against an Ōtonoto group's combined call. But this is only effective though if the group is large enough for their combined calls to take effect.

Another reason why they are so difficult is also their agility. They can zip through the treeline, escaping hunters before they can even get visual on them. They use large numbers to overpower their foes and are very messy eaters. What's worst is that they almost always leave their prey alive as they eat them, making it one of the worst ways to die in any hunter's book.

Weaknesses
They are small and aren't that much of a threat since they are only found in deep inside forests. They aren't as fast on the ground than they are on the tress, making them sitting ducks for any hunter nearby.

Alone, or in small groups, they are weak and are easy to wipe out. The best weapons against them are explosives or anything that damages in an area. Dust is also a great weapon against them, especially fire dust. A group can also be sent into a panic if their leader is killed. Burning the trees in the area where they are stationed is what most hunters usually do to force them back deep into the forest, or to wipe them out quickly.
