Omanyte

Omanyte appeared in 1996 video game called Pokémon Red & Green. Omanyte is a Spiral Pokémon. Omanyte's sturdy shell protects it from enemy attacks. This ancient Pokémon was restored from a fossil that was found at the site of an ocean that no longer exists.

Omanyte is a small Pokémon similar to an ammonite. It has a sky blue body with ten tentacles and a pale yellow, helix-spiraled shell on its back. The shell's rim has two circular indents where Omanyte's large saucer-like eyes protrude. If attacked or threatened, it quickly withdraws into its hard shell.

Omanyte is considered extinct, although it can be revived from Fossils. Its fossils have been excavated in areas that were once oceans long ago. Omanyte regulated its buoyancy by storing and releasing air within its shell and controlled direction by twisting its tentacles. While Omanyte fed on plankton, it was preyed on by Archeops and Carracosta.
