Biology
Omanyte is an ancient Pokémon that has been regenerated from Helix Fossils by people using modern science. If attacked by an enemy, it withdraws to its hard shell. It can use air stored inside its shell to rise or fall in water.
Omanyte lived in ancient seas. Archeops and Carracosta have been known to prey on it. The fossils Omanyte have been resurrected from are excavated from areas that were once large oceans.
Because some Omanyte manage to escape after being restored or are released into the wild by people, it is gradually becoming an invasive species.
