"Otoshidamashi":

This monster's name is a pun on otoshidama, a Japanese custom where adult relatives give money to children in small decorated envelopes on New Year's Day, which is reflected in its effect to place Otoshidamashi Counters on it, and in how the monster itself is holding money envelopes in excitement.
- The reading, otoshidamashii, and the kanji "落魂", in its Japanese name are translated to "fallen soul", while it is also be read as rakkon, a pun on the Japanese word for "otter" (ラッコ, rakko).
  - This is reflected in this monster's design, where its soul is reflected in the water, as well as its effect to Special Summon "Otoshidamashi Tokens" for each monster sent to the opponent's Graveyard.

This monster has the highest original ATK (1000) of all Level 1 monsters that can be Normal Summoned.

This is the first monster to feature an effect that use both Counters and Tokens.
