Kabuto

() is a /-type Fossil Pokémon introduced in Generation I that can be resurrected from a Dome Fossil. It is Omanyte's counterpart.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Kabuto is a flat Pokémon that resembles a horseshoe crab, complete with a brown shell. It has two circular dents on its shell and is small, black eyes are visible from the top. Its underside is black with two red spots, which are its secondary eyes. It has four yellow, pointed legs.
===Behavior===
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.
===Natural abilities===
If it is flipped upside-down, it becomes helpless and defenseless as it is unable to flip over on its own.
==Evolution==
Kabuto evolves into Kabutops at level 40.

==Trivia==
*The beta name of Kabuto was "Att", and its evolution Kabutops was "Lantis", which is obviously a pun on "Atlantis".
*A study conducted in 2019 found that horseshoe crabs (part of Kabuto's origin) were arachnids, thus retroactively making Kabuto (and thus Kabutops) the first arachnid-based Pokémon.
*Kabuto bears a small resemblance to a Ripper from the Metroid series. Both are insect-like creatures containing a powerful tan colored shell-like carapace.
**Kabuto's Shiny coloring could be a reference to either one of the light-green colored Ripper variants or an unused Green Ripper; both seen within Super Metroid. 
===Origin===
Kabuto is based on a trilobite with elements of the still-living, but ancient, horseshoe crabs.
===Etymology===
Kabuto's name comes from 兜蟹 (kabutogani, horseshoe crab (literally meaning "helmet crab")).
