Samurott is based on a sea lion
Sugimori stated in an interview that they went to an aquarium to get ideas for Oshawott's final evo, saw some some sea lions, and decided to base Samurott on them because of how majestic they were

Nah. Pinnipeds and bears have a common ancestor. He will become a circus bear.

No, he didn't.
I'm sure this has been said, but he kind of looks like that Disney Ghost dog.

It was Ohmura, not Sugimori, but the point still stands.

>Sugimori: Since we intended for those 3 starter Pokemon to be with the hero throughout the game, we wanted them to have surprising evolutions. We kept adding more twists so the forms of the third-stage Evolutions would have an impact.
>Oomura: Also, this time we wanted the 3 starter Pokemon to be split into Japanese, Western, and Chinese imagery. We said Tsutaaja would represent Western imagery, Pokabu Chinese, and Mijumaru Japanese. We discussed it: “Couldn’t a sea otter be a samurai?”
>Oomura: I was a little worried, so I went to watch the sea otters at the aquarium. I happened to see the sea lion show, I noticed how strong the sea lions were. I thought, ah, I’ll try combining sea lions and otters together. I came up with the idea of them fighting by using the shells on their stomachs like swords, and Mijumaru and its [next] evolution were completed.
