|
Omanyte is a Rock/Water-type fossil Pokémon from the Pokémon series. It is revived from a Helix Fossil and evolves into Omastar. It appears at #138 in both the Kanto and National Pokédexes.
Because the species is technically extinct, the only living specimens of Omanyte (and by extension its evolution, Omastar) are ones that were genetically resurrected from Helix Fossils. Omanyte swim by twisting their 10 tentacles. By storing air inside of its shell, Omanyte can control the water depth at which they swim, although they typically stay near the sea floor in order to consume plankton. If attacked or threatened, they withdraw into their shell for protection.
In M.U.G.E.N, Omanyte has been made by DJ HANNIBALROYCE. The character as a whole is a giant shout-out to Twitch Plays Pokémon, an incredibly popular social experiment involving thousands of Twitch members simultaneously playing the same game of Pokémon Red through command inputs from Twitch's chat. The character itself comes from the Helix Fossil, which was considered a deity of sorts by fans of the livestream (earning the nickname "Lord Helix" among the TPP fanbase); one of its hyper attacks involves switching into different members of the final team that beat the Elite Four.

Omanyte enters the battlefield as a boss type character, sporting a completely random Hyper. Not even start9 can stop the fossil now.
