Kabutops (Japanese: カブトプス Kabutops) is a dual-type Rock/Water Pokémon.
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 ea 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
Kabutops have no fingers. Instead their arms go into long scythes used fro fighting and slicing prey. Also their bodies are very tough and can stand many pysical attacks.
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.

Trivia
- "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.
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.
