Kabutops

Kabutops is a shellfish Pokémon, and is closely related to crabs. Their armor is extremely hard and durable, but underneath that, they are almost liquid on the inside. The segmented armour of it gives a surprisingly high degree of mobility despite seeming bulky and unwieldy. Kabutops is extraordinarily fast on the draw with the its scythes and bring them down with lethal force. Kabutops are known to have clocked top speeds of 40 KPH in very short bursts on land. When evolving from Kabuto, the primitive lung takes up more space and becoming more developed, allowing for almost four hours on land. Some estimates have even gone as high as 12 hours in very humid environments. This is rarely an issue for trainers, due to the aquatic habitat a Kabutops' Capture Crystal creates which allows it to retreat to it if exhausted.

Habitat
Both Kabuto and Kabutops are fond of living in tropical areas, preferably near or close to large bodies of water. While they can breathe out of land, they are generally much more comfortable swimming and they can use all of their evolutionary gifts under the waves. Kabuto can typically be found in the seafloor around the Summeredge Isle. Due to its predatory nature, Kabutops on the other hand are a rare sight due to their viscous and predatory nature in Albion as compared to the foreign variant of the species.

Diet
Kabutops have a strange diet. While they can and do enjoy meat both in Pokémon food and even some instances of human food, they gain much more nutrition via biting down on the prey and drawing nutrients straight into themselves. However, these drains were usually fatal to the Pokémon it was feeding off of.

Hazards
Kabutops have next to no defense against modern day diseases and must be looked at carefully. They are also prone to attacking other Pokémon, especially opponents' Pokémon, seeing them as prey. In cold climates, they are slow and sluggish, and are prone to sickness in winter. They are easily startled by bright lights. Their armour and scythes have multiple sharp points which should be avoided at all costs. Due to this, it is strongly recommended that only advanced trainers, breeders, or researchers should handle them.

Breeding
Kabutops is not known to be fertile or indeed if they are, they seldom mate, preferring instead to hunt.

Social Structure
Kabutops are an individualistic species that is extremely territorial, bearing the gashes on their armor-like exterior pridefully. From trainers that have raised Kabutops, they are typically highly aggressive to other species. However, like some cases, raising a Kabuto into a Kabutops familiar with their fellow Pokémon can prevent future violence.
