- Name meaning
- 'Wotan' = the continental-Germanic (Old High German) name for Odin — cognate with Woden/Wodan (whence 'Wednesday' = Woden's day), squarely inside Elbaf's Norse/Viking coding; may also nod to the Jötunn (Norse giants). In canon the Wotans are a giant × fish-man hybrid race (bigger than humans, smaller than pure giants; fish-man genes grant underwater strength), so the name is likely a phonetic pun: 'Watan' (same JP reading) = 'water + titan' (Library of Ohara), matching the JP label gyokyojin ('fish-giant'). Established members: Big Pan (Foxy Pirates), Sebastian (Film: Strong World).
A “mixed-blood people” listed by Scopper Gaban among history’s blended races.
