Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Most of Omastar's abilities are the same as Omanyte's, only stronger. Omastar can finally learn how to use Stone Edge. Like most fully evolved Pokémon, it can learn Hyper Beam and Giga Impact
Behavior
Omastar, unlike Kabutops the other fossil Pokémon derived from a fossil in generation I, are far more defensive. While Kabutops prefer to slice prey apart or swim after them, Omastar does not. Omastar have a high special attack suggesting they prefer for prey to come near them so they can attack. They arent fierce like Kabutops and probably don't move as much either, preferring to stay rooted to a spot waiting.
Habitat
The exact habitat of Omastar is unknown, but so far Helix Fossils are only found in the Kanto and Sinnoh regions.
Diet
Main article: Pokémon food
Pokédex information indicates that Omastar would eat Shellder in the wild by cracking open their shells with sharp fangs and sucking out the insides.

Sprites
- Omastar originally had the name "Kargo," a misspelling of the last six letters of "escargot," which is French for snail.
Origin
It seems to be based on a type of ammonite.
Name origin
Omastar's name is a combination of オウムガイ ōmugai, the Japanese word for nautilus, and ammonite, both names of the creatures on which it is based, as well as star, referring to the shape of its body.
