Omanyte <sup>(JPJapanese: オムナイト

Romaji: Omnite)</sup> is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a dual-type Rock/Water Pokémon that made its first appearance in the first generation games Red and Blue. It evolves into Omastar starting at level 40.

Physiology and Behavior

Omanyte is a small extinct cephalopod mollusk Pokémon similar to an ammonite or nautilus. 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. Omantye can now be found in the wild due to being released by people or escaping after being restored to life, causing this species to become a problem.

Trivia

• Omanyte's Pokédex number may be referring to the golden spiral/Fibonacci Sequence (137.5 degrees).
• In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Omanyte was originally known as Ess. This is derived from the beginning of the word "escargot", which is French for snail.
