Kabutops (Japanese: カブトプス Kabutops) is a dual-type Rock/Water Pokémon.

It evolves from Kabuto at level 40.

Biology

Kabutops is a fossil Pokémon no longer found in the wild, and must be evolved from a Kabuto resurrected from a Dome Fossil.

Physiology

Kabuto's four insect-like legs have vanished and two long feet stand in their place. Two sharp claws extend from Kabutops's exoskeleton and several plates close the opening that used to be there. Their are six hard spikes going down from the back of its neck, three on each side that lead down towards the beginning of its tail. Its head is covered in a rock hard, semicircular shape armor. A tail protrudes from its back, bearing the same color as approximately seventy-five percent of its body.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Behavior

Kabutops is a fierce prehistoric predator. Adaptations in its body permit it to lead a more terrestrial lifestyle than its predecessors.

Habitat

The exact habitat of Kabuto is unknown, but so far Dome Fossils are only found in the Kanto and Sinnoh regions. But other facts would leave one to believe that Kabutops and Kabuto may have lived in the sea and in caves, although Kabutops could walk ashore on its newly developed legs.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Kabutops cuts open prey with its claws, then sucks up the spilled bodily fluids.

In the anime

File:AttackofthePrehistoricPokemon.gif
Kabutops with other fossil Pokémon

Kabutops first seems to appear in Island of the Giant Pokémon on a theme park island populated with giant mechanical Pokémon.

Kabutops's first true appearance in Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon. It was one of the fossil Pokémon that was awakened by a dynamite explosion in Grandpa Canyon.

Kabutops also appeared in Pokémon Heroes. Oakley used ancient DNA to resurrect a Kabutops and an Aerodactyl to chase after Ash and Latias. In the English dub, they were once used by an evil Pokémon Trainer to torment the civilians of Alto Mare, but were drowned when a Latios brought water to the city.

Dr. Yung uses a Mirage Kabutops in The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon.

In the manga

Pokémon Special

In Template:PSV, Brock possesses a Kabutops in his team. He explains that he met Kabutops at the Pewter Museum when Pewter City was invaded during the Elite Four saga, and has since then become a powerful fighter employing ancient attacks.

Trivia

File:000K.png
Kabutops Fossil on Display in the Pewter Museum of Science
  • "Lantis," from the word "Atlantis," was the prototype name for Kabutops.
  • In Generation I, Kabutops had a large diamond shaped plate on its back that was replaced in Generation II by a horn-like extention of its head.
  • Kabutops makes a good HM slave, as it can learn five different HMs.

Origin

Like Kabuto, it resembles trilobites, however, more subtly. The large head is identical to the cephlon in trilobites and the spines down the back resemble thoracic sections in trilobites.

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.
