Kabuto (Japanese: カブト Kabuto) is a Rock/Water-type Fossil Pokémon introduced in Generation I that can be resurrected from a Dome Fossil. It is Omanyte's counterpart.

Biology

Physiology

While concealed, Kabuto leaves exposed only its hard shell, which protects it from predators, while the small black eyes on its back allow it to continue monitoring its surroundings. If it is flipped upside down, it becomes helpless and defenseless as it is unable to flip over on its own. It may be based on a Horseshoe crab.

Evolution

Kabuto evolves into Kabutops at level 40.

Trivia

File:Horseshoe-Crab.jpg

The real-world equivalent of Kabuto.

• Kabuto's design was inspired by the real-world Limulidae (also known the Horseshoe Crab) which are considered living fossils since they have undergone little to no changes in appearance over the past millions of years. However, unlike Kabuto, Limulidae are not extinct.
