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

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Emerald

Kabutops once swam underwater to hunt for prey. It was apparently evolving from being a water dweller to living on land as evident from changes in its gills and legs.

Pokémon FireRed

It swims freely through water. It catches prey with its scythe-like arms and drains the victim's fluids.

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 or ceratopsidae in general.

Unlike Kabuto, it does not resemble trilobites as much.

"Lantis," from the word "Atlantis," was the proto-type name for Kabutops.
