Biography

Otto first appears in the scene where Gru checks on his evil lair's progress when he tries to comfort him since he hasn't be accepted into the Vicious 6, though he blabbers so much that Gru distracts him into playing the Quiet Game, causing him to pass out due to holding his breath for too long. Later he appears when Kevin, Stuart, & Bob attempt to go after Gru, who's on his way to his interview with the Vicious 6, being distracted by Kevin into playing Hide-and-Seek. He finds them eventually at Criminal Records. He rides on Gru's jetbike along with the rest of the Minions, but tumbles from it after accidentally driving into a staircase. He gets his hands on the Zodiac Stone, which Gru entrusted him to return it to his lair.

Otto grows attached on the way that he gets stuck on one of the laces & falls face first in some concrete. He tries pulling the stone out, but it ends up flying in the air. He catches it eventually & lands at the birthday party where a pet stone is being traded, due to being fascinated into it, Otto trades the stone for the pet rock, leading to the Minions being fired. The next day, Kevin, Stuart & Bob attempt to get answers from him about the stone's whereabouts, & confesses to whom he traded the stone to. While outside, he then sees someone wearing the stone on his neck & goes after him, tracks him down, they both go on a trip to San Francisco, & part from there.

Now that Otto has the stone, he rides a Chinese dragon to find Gru & give the stone to him, but the Vicious 6 capture Gru, while Otto takes cover. During the final battle, he frees Gru from being tied up to the hands of a clock. Once he does, he gets captured by Jean-Clawed as a baboon, then saved by Gru so that they may come down from the tower. He is seen during Wild Knuckles' funeral as an angel, & later when Gru attempts to convince Dr. Nefario to work for him.

Trivia

• Otto speaks with a lisp making him the only minion and the first illumination character to speak with a lisp
• Despite Otto doesn't seem to have many friends due to his inner stupidity. Yet Bob dose seems to care about him when he sees him as his big younger brother, while the Biker sees him no different than a henchman but rather tolerate his limits as a true friend.
  • Unlike like Bob, Kevin seems caution toward Otto's disabilities when he tries his best to keep him out of trouble, like distracting him to play Hide and Seek while Stuart doesn't trust Otto or take him seriously when he still accused him of getting the tribe fired which led Gru getting kidnapped out of patients after he traded the stone for a pet rock.
