===Origin===
Similarly to how {{p|Kabuto}} is based on {{wp|horseshoe crab}}s, Kabutops resembles {{wp|eurypterid}}s, prehistoric arthropods which hunted in seas and rivers and are believed to have been related to modern horseshoe crabs. The large head is also identical to the cephalon in {{wp|trilobite}}s and the spines down the back resemble thoracic sections in trilobites, though the scythes and predatory nature much more closely resemble eurypterids. Because of these cross-similarities, it may also be based on the ''{{wp|Cheirurus}}'' genus of trilobites.
