Evolution
Trivia
"Lantis," from the word "Atlantis," was the proto-type name for Kabutops.
Origin
Unlike Kabuto, it does not resemble trilobites as much, but it does resemble the armor of a samurai.
Name origin
The kabuto in Kabutops's name could be derived from 兜 kabuto, helmet, referring to its shape and rock-like properties. Its head has a resemblance to a 兜蟹 kabutogani, horseshoe crab. Tops might mean that it is the "the top" in its evolutionary line. It could also be a reference to the extinct creature triceratops, ceratopsidae in general or triops.
