Description: A small prehistoric Pokémon, Kabuto was brought to the modern age by scientists using a Dome Fossil. Kabuto resembles a horseshoe crab, but is brown with four yellow claw-like legs. It has two sets of eyes: a small black set atop its shell, and a larger, glowing red set underneath its shell. Kabuto can swim incredibly fast and were believed to live on beaches and in the ocean. Although once thought to be extinct, isolated populations of Kabuto have since been discovered in remote areas.
