    Valdurmon 

Valdurmon

Voiced by: Yuuto Kazama and Ai Maeda (Japanese)
An avian Digimon, Valdurmon served as one of the holy Digimon in ancient times. Now deceased, they provide the DigiDestined vital information in the history of the Digital World and the war between light and darkness.
  • Ascended Extra: Valdurmon is a Digimon that's been around since the Digital World's creation, but other than that, it's usually just a Mega Digimon that can be obtained through differing means, as well as a possible component of Chaosmon. Here, it's one of the Holy Digimon, and appears to have been the one leading the charge against the Army of Darkness.
  • Barrier Warrior: It briefly protects the DigiDestined with Purge Shine, even as a spirit.
  • Big Good: Valdurmon can only do so much as a spirit, but they are the first major ally the group encounters in the Digital World.
  • Dub Name Change: Surprisingly averted. The subtitles list it as Valdurmon instead of its commonly accepted dub name, Varodurumon.
  • Feather Motif: The feathers seen strewn throughout the opening and the series proper are one of their representations.
  • Mr. Exposition: Valdurmon is the one who explains the war between light and darkness to the DigiDestined, and explains to them just what they need to do now that they're in the Digital World.
  • Our Angels Are Different: Valdurmon is one of the Holy Digimon from long ago, and is a massive bird with six wings, unlike the Winged Humanoid Seraphimon and Ophanimon.
  • Posthumous Character: Valdurmon is long dead, and his assistance is some lingering power and a memory left behind.
  • Royal "We": When it appears, it speaks in this fashion.
  • Voice of the Legion: Speaks in male and female voices.

    Whamon 
An aquatic mammal Digimon that Izzy and Tentomon meet upon arriving at the Digital World. It helps them get to the Cloud Continent where Tai and the others have just touched down.
  • Adaptational Early Appearance: The Whamon in the original Adventure didn't show up until episode 14, while this one appears in episode 5. Even discounting Devimon dying earlier in one version and lasting longer in another, the 9-episode gap is noticeable.
  • Distressed Dude: It's captured by a Soundbirdmon-controlled Nanomon and used to bait Izzy into fighting GranKuwagamon.
  • Space Whale: It travels throughout cyberspace and lets Izzy and Tentomon stay in its stomach for a while, in true whale fashion.

    Tanemon 

Servants No. 2 - 71 of Mimi's Happy Kingdom

Several Digimon that Mimi befriended upon coming to the Digital World. They made Mimi their queen and enlisted her help to drive off their Tuskmon invaders. Later on, they're seen attending Babamon's school alongside several previous foes.

Their Digivolutions are as follows:
  • In-Training: Tanemon, their default forms. Lesser/Bulb type Digimon with sprouts on their heads. Palmon digivolved from one.
  • Rookie: Lalamon, a Plant Digimon resembling a flower bud. It flies around with the leaves on its head. Some of the Tanemon digivolved into Lalamon.
  • Bubble Gun: As Tanemon, their main attack is to spit bubbles.
  • Bullet Seed: As Lalamon, they use Seed Blast to spit seeds at their targets.
  • Demoted to Extra:
    • In the case of Lalamon, one was notably the partner of Yoshino Fujieda of Digimon Data Squad fame. The Lalamon here are just allies that digivolved from Tanemon.
    • For the Tanemon themselves, Palmon herself never reverts into this form, leaving the entire batch as minor characters. The original anime occasionally had her revert to Tanemon after spending enough time as Lillymon.
  • Helpful Mook: Though they initially mistake Tai and Sora for intruders, they allow them to help fend off the invading Tuskmon army, as well as Ogremon's forces.
  • Mythology Gag: Tanemon was capable of digivolving into Lalamon in Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth.
  • Plant Person: Lalamon especially, being tiny flower Digimon. Tanemon also counts, albeit being much smaller and less humanoid than Lalamon or Palmon.
  • Undying Loyalty: To Mimi and Palmon upon making the former their queen.

    Neemon 

Neemon (Neamon)

Voiced by: Masami Kikuchi (Japanese)
A rabbit-like beast Digimon with red pants. It's seen looking after several Digimon in the Cloud Continent's desert while Matt, Sora and Joe are split from the rest of the group, being terrorized by Scorpiomon. Later, it's seen alongside several other Digimon creating a new village.

    Guardromon 

Guardromon

A machine Digimon, Guardromon was found in ancient underground ruins in Episode 12. Initially shutdown, he regained consciousness to help Mimi and Palmon escape from an Andromon under the influence of Soundbirdmon.
  • Adaptational Heroism: In the case of the Guardromon seen in Adventure, several appeared under the Dark Masters' army during a flashback, and several more are controlled by the Digimon Kaiser's Evil Rings at one point. This one is a good guy through and through.
  • Back from the Dead: Two Hagurumon at the end are seen playing around in the factory around their bodies.
  • Because You Were Nice to Me: As repayment for tenderly wiping his body, Guardromon tries to keep Mimi and Palmon safe.
  • The Determinator: Guardromon is clearly outmatched by Andromon, being a whole level below him, but he still keeps on fighting against him to protect Mimi and Palmon from him.
  • The Dulcinea Effect: From the moment he saw Mimi and Palmon, he dedicates himself to protecting them.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: Even as his power starts to fail, Guardromon prevents Andromon from slashing Mimi apart, turning the powerful android and his crushing foot in his direction. Guardromon’s last moments of heroism gives Mimi the emotions she needs to fuel Togemon’s digivolution to Lillymon for the first time.
  • Papa Wolf: Very protective of Mimi and Palmon, keeping them safe from anything they find and fighting Andromon, a Digimon who's much stronger than him, to protect them, even pulling a Heroic Sacrifice for them.
  • The Quiet One: Guardromon never says a word. Instead, he steams up to "communicate".
  • Undying Loyalty: Towards Mimi and Palmon. He helps them after Mimi's kindness to him and is even willing to fight the much stronger Andromon for them.

    FanBeemon 

FanBeemon (Funbeemon)

A swarm of bee Digimon from the Cloud Continent that were being terrorized by Cannonbeemon and its Waspmon army. They were saved by Sora's group, and later assisted in building a new Digimon village.

    Leomon 

Leomon

Voiced by: Hiroaki Hirata (Japanese), Aaron LaPlante (English)
A humanoid lion Digimon, Leomon helped rescue Tai and Matt in Episode 19 from Valvemon's forces. He's the leader of the resistance force against Devimon.
  • Adaptational Badass:
    • He's far more powerful then his previous Adventure self, at least as a Leomon himself. While in the original he was not exceptionally strong for his level or size, he can now take out multiple foes at once and even beats a Digimon from a superior level in a unimportant skirmish. He also uses his sword Shishiou-maru far more often, and has an additional attack named Shin Jūoukennote  on top of his usual Jūouken.
    • This Leomon had also been fighting Devimon's army for quite a while on top of having an entire resistance to back him, whereas he was originally alone and immediately enslaved by Devimon and only brought the children directly to Devimon for their fateful battle upon being freed.
    • Lastly, Leomon as a species is infamous for being the resident Sacrificial Lion of the franchise, always getting killed to show how bad things are getting for the heroes. This marks Leomon's first anime appearance where that never happens, as he lives to see Negamon's defeat.
  • Adaptational Personality Change: Leomon has been The Stoic in all continuities, to the point the only times he really changed his expression was when being mind-controlled by dark forces. This version of him has much more emotional range, becoming puzzled and shocked by the DigiDestined a couple times. He was also a bit of a loner in the previous series, requiring some character development to tag along, while this time he leads a band of Digimon.
  • Barefoot Cartoon Animal: Downplayed, as he lacks also a shirt instead of being fully dressed, but he doesn't wear shoes.
  • Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: He's a humanoid lion that only wears pants, leaving his chest and feet bare.
  • Hand Blast: Jūouken and Shin Jūouken unleash energy blasts shaped like a lion's head from his fists.
  • La Résistance: Notably a resistance leader against Devimon's forces, though is uniquely tight knit about their members, choosing to aid the children in their quest instead of attempting to have them join despite having the same goal.
  • Noodle Incident:Leomon's explanation of how he survivied himself; Spadamon, Falcomon and ElDoradimon getting blasted into a sea vortex by black lightning? "We survived... somehow."
  • Offscreen Moment of Awesome: He beat Megadramon, a Digimon a level above his own, while serving as distraction for Tai and Matt in Episode 20. He did have an assist from a Peckmon and was shown to be quite injured after the fact however.
  • Reverse Grip: He wields his sword in his left hand in this manner.
  • Sacrificial Lion: For the first time in anime canon, AVERTED. While he stays behind to protect ElDoradimon and appears to have been obliterated by the dark lightning, he ultimately survives and lets the kids know that he, his companions, and ElDoradimon are okay.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: Unlike most Leomon in Digimon anime, this Leomon actually lives the entire way through, finally breaking the tradition of Leomon dying in every season.
  • Sword and Fist: He uses a sword against Minotarumon for most of their fight and then resorts to hand-to-hand combat to destroy him.
  • Sword Beam: He has an unnamed attack which has him fire a yellow energy blast from his sword by swinging it.
  • Walking Shirtless Scene: Leomon wears pants but no shirt.

    Spadamon and Falcomon 
Spadamon voiced by: Asami Sanada (Japanese), Brittany Lauda (English)
Two Digimon serving as members of the resistance alongside Leomon. Spadamon is a white lion with a sword, while Falcomon is a bird with a ninja theme.

    ElDoradimon 

ElDoradimon

A enormous Mega Digimon that looks like a turtle with a castle on its back, they were polluted with Miasma and forced to become the base of operations for Devimon. After it's freed, it helps the children get to the Eternal Continent.
  • A Day in the Limelight: Episode 61 is all about getting ElDoradimon back home.
  • Dishing Out Dirt: According to its profile, one of its attacks shakes the earth.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: It also had a semi-major role in Digimon Data Squad, where the members of DATS protected it as best they could, but it was still deleted by the Gizmon. This time around, it appears to have been blasted to smithereens by the dark lightning, but later turns up alive and well and is brought back to the Cloud Continent.
  • Time Abyss: Apparently, its been alive since ancient times.
  • Turtle Island: It's a turtle with a castle on its back.

    Nanimon and Blossomon 

Nanimon and Blossomon

A group of Digimon that frequently visit the hot springs that Joe and Gomamon find themselves in after being separated in the fight against DarkKnightmon. The Nanimon are a group of spherical Digimon with sunglasses and beards, while Blossomon is a giant flower.
  • Adaptational Badass: The Nanimon in the original Digimon Adventure boasted to have never lost a fight, but then revealed that it only never lost because it always ran away, and promptly did so when Greymon, Garurumon, Kabuterimon, Togemon and Ikkakumon all ganged up on it. Here, while still not very strong, they actually fight back against TonosamaGekomon when it's in control of the hot springs.
  • Adaptational Heroism: For both Digimon.
    • Nanimon in the original Adventure was an enemy trainer for Myotismon's army, albeit one who ran away almost immediately when it spotted trouble. The bunch of Nanimon seen here, while initially appearing antagonistic due to picking on Joe, are willing to help him fight for the hot springs when TonosamaGekomon takes them over.
    • Blossomon is often used as a Monster of the Week for the heroes to fight, with one notably appearing as an artificial Digimon created by Archnemon and being defeated by a freshly-DNA Digivolved Silphymon. In the reboot, it's another ally Digimon that seems antagonistic at first, but helps defeat TonosamaGekomon.
  • Cephalothorax: Nanimon's entire body sans the arms and legs is a humanoid head.
  • Combat Tentacles: Blossomon has a few of these that also act as legs.
  • Cool Shades: Nanimon's Iconic Item.
  • Fire-Forged Friends: With Joe, kind of. Even though no fighting took place, they did still mess with him for the entire time he was at the hot springs. Despite this, Joe considers all of them friends and is willing to help take back the hot springs for them. They reciprocate the favor in kind, helping to defeat TonosamaGekomon.
  • Man-Eating Plant: Blossomon is a giant flower with a Jagged Mouth. Despite this, it actually averts the "man-eating" part.

    Lopmon 

Lopmon

Voiced by: Chinami Nishimura (Japanese), Veronica Taylor (English)
A rabbit Digimon with three horns accompanying the Woodmon, Agumon's digivolution into WarGreymon unlocked their hidden memories, revealing them to be the reincarnated Cherubimon.
Their Digivolutions are as follows:
  • Rookie: Lopmon, their default form.
  • Champion: Turuiemon, a humanoid rabbit martial-artist. Briefly glimpsed when Lopmon shows Tai and Sora their memories..
  • Ultimate: Antylamon (Andiramon), a tall, thin rabbit warrior. Briefly glimpsed when Lopmon shows Tai and Sora their memories.
  • Mega: Cherubimon, a peer of Valdurmon, an enormous holy rabbit wearing Holy Rings as earrings.

  • Adaptational Heroism: While all previous major Lopmon eventually end their show as a good guy, this is the first one who doesn't meet the heroes as a villain (or in the case of the Tamers Lopmon, on their side) and is a good guy from the get-go, solidified by the fact that it's the Vaccine-type seen first, even as just a flashback.
  • Ascended Extra: Played With. While Lopmon's been a partner Digimon like their fellow Great Angels before, this is the first time it's taken over the role as the heroes' guide, acting more like the Ophanimon from Frontier than its Cherubimon.
  • Blow You Away: Lopmon deleted some Bakemon by turning into a tornado.
  • Flight: Due to their holy power, they don't need to glide like normal Lopmon, but can fly.
  • Gold and White Are Divine: Cherubimon was one of the leaders of the Army of Light in the ancient war, and accordingly they're a predominantly white Digimon with gold accents.
  • An Ice Person: According to Lopmon's profile, they can fire cold bullets.
  • Lotus Position: In order to focus on their telepathy, Lopmon makes an amusing little half lotus with its accompanying meditation mudra.
  • Mr. Exposition: Tells Tai and Sora more about the Ancient War, who the enemy is and some details about Digimon rebirth to boot.
  • Necromancer: Uses their holy power to resurrect the Komondomon.
  • Our Angels Are Different: Cherubimon is one of the Holy Digimon, and is an enourmous white and gold rabbit.
  • Power Glows: Whenever Lopmon uses what power the little holy power they retained after reincarnation, they glow with a yellow aura.
  • Reincarnation: Agumon's digivolution into WarGreymon unlocked their sealed memories, revealing them to be Cherubimon reborn.
  • Shock and Awe: Cherubimon's profile describes both of their attacks as electricity based.
  • Telepathy: Lopmon separated from the DigiDestined to protect the Woodmon but manages to contact Patamon via a mental connection after he fails to digivolve into Angemon.
  • Weather Manipulation: Cherubimon's Heaven's Judgement involves summoning a large thundercloud to rain lightning on their opponents.

    Komondomon 

Komondomon

Voiced by: Daisuke Yokoyama (Japanese)
A group of five large canine Digimon that double as vehicles, awakened by Lopmon to help evacuate the residents of a forest. One stays behind to take Tai, Sora, and T.K. to find Kari, and later, after the rest of the DigiDestined reunite, takes them to FAGA.
  • Animal-Vehicle Hybrid: They're mashups of Komondor dogs and troop transports, even having a door in the back of the head leading to a cabin running the length of each one's body.
  • Big Friendly Dog: Komondomon is a very good boy. It prioritizes protecting its passengers over all else, and is willing to run across the Digital World and through its oceans to get them to their destination.
  • Canis Major: Each Komondomon is roughly the size of a double-decker bus.
  • Eating Optional: The one that carries Tai and friends is shown to eat at one point, but by that point has already gone for more than a day without food.
  • Heli-Critter: Downplayed. It can spin its tail rapidly to move underwater. It also escapes from Sephirotmon's Tractor Beam this way, though it falls to the ground afterward.
  • Innocent Blue Eyes: The gray variant of Komondomon is revealed at one point to have blue eyes under its visor, fitting due to Komondomon universally being Big Friendly Dogs.
  • Intelligible Unintelligible: They speak by barking, which only Gatomon (who ironically is a cat) can understand.
  • One-Way Visor: The cybernetic parts on its head include a visor that initially seems to be a pair of Electronic Eyes. The left one is larger and acts as a headlight. Episode 39 reveals that the visor can lift up to reveal Komondomon's actual eyes. The gray-helmeted variant has Innocent Blue Eyes underneath.
  • Original Generation: It first appeared in the anime.
  • Super Not-Drowning Skills: It can breath underwater and acts as a full-fledged submarine, which proves useful when Gatomon directs it to an underwater current.
  • Vertebrate with Extra Limbs: Though normally hidden by their fur, they have eight legs divided into two pairs each at the front and back. This allows them to move very quickly across open ground.

    MarineAngemon 

MarineAngemon (MarinAngemon)

Voiced by: Creator/Yukana (Japanese), Cherami Leigh (English)
A sea angel Digimon that rules over an underwater city. It allows the DigiDestined to spend the night.
  • Badass Adorable: It may be cute, but it's still a Mega level.
  • Huge Holographic Head: More like a huge holographic...well, everything when first encountered. Its projection looks gigantic, but in reality it's simply the same size as most MarineAngemon.

    Golemon 

Acting President of Mimi-chan Company, No. 99

Voiced by: Volcano Ota (Japanese), Xander Mobus (English)
A Golemon who escaped from Gogmamon's castle with a group of Gottsumon. Initially fighting Mimi and Togemon thinking that they were spies, after the misunderstanding was solved Golemon became the 99th servant in Mimi's Kingdom. After defeating Gogmamon, Golemon was made Acting President by Mimi and placed in charge of Gogmamon's former castle.
  • Adaptational Heroism: Most Golemon that appeared in the past were depicted in antagonistic roles that the heroes had to deal with. That seemed to be the case again initially, but it's later revealed that Golemon is the leader of a group of Gottsumon that escaped slavery from a Gogmamon, and only pursued Mimi and Palmon because they thought those two were spies. After the misunderstanding is cleared, they gladly become Mimi's most loyal servant and works with her and the other DigiDestined to defeat Gogmamon and liberate all the Gottsumon.
  • Decomposite Character: Aside from this version of Golemon appearing as an ally, the Digimon World iteration of Golemon also appears as enemy Digimon created by the Soundbirdmon.
  • Pulling Themselves Together: Being struck by Gogmamon shattered Golemon into pieces, but by the end of the episode the pieces had recombined and they were perfectly fine.
  • Recoil Boost: Golemon can expel gas from the exhausts on their back. Golemon used it to propel themself at Gogmamon faster than they could run.
  • Rock Monster: Golemon's body consistent of rocks shaped into a humanoid form.
  • Wall Crawl: They're not the best at is as they kept sliding back down, but in their first appearance Golemon pursued Mimi and Palmon by climbing straight up a rock wall.

    Jagamon 

Jagamon (Jyagamon)

Voiced by: Kayli Mills (English)
A plant Digimon met while the kids were on the way to FAGA. It bonded with Joe over their love of fries, but when its favorite restaurant announced that it would no longer sell potatoes, it digivolved and went on a rampage until Joe calmed it down.

Its Digivolutions are as follows:
  • Champion: Potamon, its initial form; a smaller food-type Digimon that wears overalls.
  • Ultimate: Jagamon, its current form; a quadrupedal monster covered in potatoes.

    Blimpmon 

Blimpmon

A machine type Digimon first seen in the Eternal Continent's rest area. It's later used to take Babamon's school on a field trip across the Digital World.
  • Handicapped Badass: Of a sort. When Olegmon encounters it, its cannons have lost their ammo presumably due to Babamon not wanting it around the students.
  • Sentient Vehicle: It's a blimp, and big enough to carry several Digimon.

    Pomumon 

Pomumon

Voiced by: Kanae Itō (Japanese), Brittany Lauda (English)
A bird-like Plant Digimon. Unlike most birds, although it can fly, it's far more used to being on the ground than flying. Initially there's only one, being the only one left of its kind to not be turned into a fruit yet by Tropiamon, but it happens to encounter Tai and Sora, who helped it free its friends, and eventually it manages to do so during the commotion set by Tai and Sora. It's eventually seen helping build a new village, and has learned to fly by then.
  • Bullet Seed: Its main method of attacking is Rapid Seed, a move where it spits countless seeds at high speed.
  • Flight: As of episode 62, it can now fly.
  • Planimal: Specifically, it's the "plant that looks like an animal" variety, not the other way around, as pointed out by its official Digimon Reference Book profile.
  • Raptor Attack: Played straight appearance-wise, as Pomumon has a face resembling a feathered dinosaur, but averted in its demeanor—it's harmless.

    Garbagemon 

Garbagemon (Gerbemon)

Voiced by: Naoki Tatsuta (Japanese), Landon McDonald (English)
A mutant Digimon that lives in a trashcan. Garbagemon is an inventor that Tai and Izzy meet, who aims to take revenge on Raremon for his Chuumon assistants' demises.
  • Abnormal Ammo: Its Poop Bazooka fires...well, take a guess.
  • Adaptational Badass: Zigzagged. Garbagemon isn't a terribly powerful Digimon and, in Adventure, three of them are taken out by Lillymon, MetalGreymon and MetalGarurumon. For comedic effect, Garbagemon's Poop Bazooka attack does very little to stop MetalGreymon's Giga Blaster, simply getting knocked away with no resistance. However, it also has a black hole in its trashcan that can suck up unsuspecting foes, which it almost did to Kari. While this Garbagemon doesn't do a lot of fighting, he is an inventor that modified his bazooka to shoot ice instead of poop and it becomes instrumental in taking down RareRaremon despite a few setbacks. It can still fire poop, but this time Garbagemon uses it to trip up an enemy Digimon instead of using it for direct offense. In addition, he still has the black hole and attempts to use it against Burpmon, though it's not very effective.
  • Adaptational Heroism: The Garbagemon trio in the original Adventure were minions to the Dark Master Puppetmon, and actively attacked the heroes on command. The Garbagemon of this remake is a heroic character driven by revenge for the deaths of his assistants that becomes fast friends with Izzy, later helping him and the DigiDestined discover the meanings behind their Crests.
  • Adaptational Intelligence: The Garbagemons from Adventure were just thugs, while this one is an intellectual with a great knowledge of machines.
  • Garbage Hideout: Garbagemon is always seen hiding in a trashcan.
  • Roaring Rampage of Revenge: His motivation for fighting Raremon. Garbagemon had several Chuumon partners that were eaten by Raremon, with only one left over from the carnage.
  • Slipping into Stink: How the Poop Bazooka is used this time around. Garbagemon fires it under an enemy Golemon's foot, causing it to slip and fall on its allies.

    Searchmon 

Searchmon

Voiced by: Ben Diskin (English, Chumon)

Garbagemon's assistant. It's the last one of several Chuumon after a devastating attack by Raremon.
Their Digivolutions are as follows:

  • Rookie: Chuumon (Tyumon), its initial stage. A purple mouse with a goofy face.
  • Champion: Searchmon, its now-default stage. A robotic cockroach with a radar on its back.
  • Adaptational Heroism: The first Chuumon seen in anime canon was one of Those Two Guys with Scumon, who initially antagonized Mimi and Palmon when they were separated from the group by Devimon. Shortly after, they became allies and helped Mimi, with Chuumon later going so far as to take a hit from Piedmon to save her. Here, Chuumon is already a helpful assistant to Garbagemon and helps Izzy in taking down Raremon.
  • Adaptational Personality Change: This Chuumon is much more serious and quiet than the original, having basically no lines. It's also considerably less crooked than most depictions of Chuumon in general.
  • Ascended Extra: Searchmon is the form that Wormmon takes when using the Digimental of Knowledge, but isn't used anywhere in canon. Here, it's an official Champion form for Chuumon.
  • The Unintelligible: It speaks in squeaks as Chuumon and in beeping noises as Searchmon.

    Petaldramon 

Petaldramon

A gigantic lizard-like plant Digimon that carries an entire forest on its body.

    Muchomon 

Muchomon

Voiced by: Ryō Hirohashi (Japanese)
A bird Digimon that lives on Petaldramon's back, and later the forest that Petaldramon's sacrifice creates. It's met again later, and assists in saving the newly-formed Digitamas from SkullBaluchimon and the Soulmon.
  • Acrophobic Bird: It's essentially a red recolor of Penmon, more resembling a flightless Macaw.
  • Expy: Becomes this to Elecmon in its second appearance, being a red-colored Rookie level that looks after and protects newly-formed Digitamas from harm.

    Machmon 

Machmon

Voiced by: Nobuyuki Hiyama (Japanese), Matthew Mercer (English)
A Champion-level motorcycle Digimon that was a continued champion of the Grand Prix that allowed himself to be possessed by a Parasimon ito win the increasingly-dangerous races.

    Nohemon 

Nohemon

Voiced by: Hideyuki Tanaka (Japanese), Cedric L. Williams (English)
A scarecrow Digimon that guarded a fountain in the middle of a wasteland that has been targeted by two warring factions of hoodlum Digimon. The crow is Nohemon's actual form.
  • Ascended Extra: Nohemon is a form that Wormmon can take through the Digimental of Purity, but had so far only appeared as a background character outside of the original continuity. Here, he's an ally Digimon with far more screentime.
  • Handicapped Badass: His left arm was broken by Tyranomon, making him unsure of his ability to fire arrows. Despite this, he still helps Tai save Joe.
  • It's Personal: With Tyranomon, due to losing his arm against the T-rex.
  • My Greatest Failure: Failing to protect the well. Despite his injury, he's trying to remedy that failure.
  • Scary Scarecrows: Inverted. Nohemon's actually a nice guy.
  • The Straight and Arrow Path: His William Arrow has it use his bow for attacks.

    Wisemon 

Wisemon

Voiced by: Show Hayami (Japanese)
A demon man Digimon that enjoys learning. He helps the DigiDestined learn about their crests.

    Mekanorimon 

Mekanorimon

Machine Digimon that are used to give other Digimon a ride. They're used to help some of the DigiDestined discover the meanings of their respective crests.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: A few of them briefly become this due to the Soundbirdmon, but are quickly saved.
  • Eyes Do Not Belong There: It has a visible eye in its chest area. Downplayed, as the chest is implied to be its actual face.
  • Mini-Mecha: They're big enough for someone to ride in, and they have cockpits. However, Mekanorimon aren't that big, only being big enough to hold a small Digimon or human in their hands.

    Junkmon 

Junkmon

Voiced by: Kappei Yamaguchi (Japanese)
A puppet Digimon resembling a mechanical beaver, leading several Digimon in barricading the active volcano island that they live on. He later assists Joe against ShogunGekomon, and is seen leading the construction of the new Digimon village.
  • Accent Adaptation: Speaks in a New York accent in the dub.
  • A Father to His Men: He is always looking out for everyone's safety, and admits to Sora that the inhabitants of the island help him as much as he helps them.
  • Animal Mecha: Downplayed. He's a puppet Digimon modeled after a beaver that can use its teeth to break apart metal.
  • Catchphase / Verbal Tic: "Safety First"
  • Dark Is Not Evil: Junkmon is actually a virus Digimon, but prioritizes everyone's safety while minimizing the damage from a potentially lethal explosion.
  • Last Bastion: He had several walls built around the volcano to mitigate debris from smaller explosions, as well as delay the inevitable larger explosion long enough for everyone to evacuate.

    ShogunGekomon 

ShogunGekomon (TonosamaGekomon)

Voiced by: Kōzō Shioya (Japanese), Xander Mobus (English)
An amphibian Digimon that appeared in the hot springs where Joe and Gomamon stayed at. He dried up every hot spring except the one he had specifically made for himself, and forcibly made Gomamon his bride. After being defeated by Zudomon, he becomes an ally to the DigiDestined.
  • Abhorrent Admirer: Becomes this to Gomamon due to his soft fur, which carries over when he digivolves into Ikkakumon. Not so much Zudomon, though.
  • Adaptational Jerkass: Zigzagged. The ShogunGekomon in the original Adventure only attacked because he was woken up from his nap, and did little more than rampage around his castle until MetalGreymon defeated him. In the reboot, ShogunGekomon actively dried up the hot springs to have the only one around, and attempted to make Gomamon his bride to boot. On the other hand, the ShogunGekomon in the original never really did a proper Heel–Face Turn (the one in Digimon Adventure 02 is implied to be a different one altogether).
  • Adaptational Late Appearance: A ShogunGekomon appeared in the original Adventure, but it was during the early stages of the Myotismon arc, where Tai was looking for the other DigiDestined after they split up to look for him. In the reboot, this ShogunGekomon is encountered after Millenniumon is taken out, which serves a similar Climax Boss role to Myotismon. Notably, ShogunGekomon's appearance is in episode 53, which in the original anime is the penultimate episode where Apocalymon makes his entrance.
  • And Call Him "George": The reason he wants Gomamon as his bride is because of his soft, cozy fur, and takes any opportunity to push that fur against his skin.
  • And Now You Must Marry Me: He wants to marry a very reluctant Gomamon. Apparently a justified trope as Gatomon speculates that ShogunGekomon might have been corrupted by data from the human world related to marriages.
  • Camp: From his mannerisms to his pinkish-red skin coloring.
  • Creepy High-Pitched Voice: He has a goofy high-pitched voice, complete with a lisp.
  • Distressed Dude: He gets captured by Olegmon and used as a hostage.
  • Fat Bastard: A big, red, amphibious hot spring tyrant.
  • Fire-Forged Friends: Becomes these with Joe after his defeat.
  • Frog Men: He's a giant frog.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Undergoes one after being defeated by MetalGreymon and Zudomon.
  • It's All About Me: He drained the hot springs in the surrounding area so he has the only one.
  • King Mook: Some of his minions are Gekomon, which he evolves from.
  • Loud of War: His Kobushi Tone attack sends low-frequency waves from the giant horns on his back for offense. It can also be used for defense as seen against Olegmon's crew.
  • Overly-Long Tongue: Unlike most depictions of this Digimon, he can actually use his tongue like a normal frog.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: He gains his full power when in hot spring water, but loses that power when outside of it. He loses even more power if he's in cold water, which the heroes exploit to defeat him. This is Truth in Television, as frogs are cold-blooded and go into hibernation in colder temperatures.

    Kabukimon 

Kabukimon

Voiced by: Koichi Tochika (Japanese), Kaiji Tang (English)
A mutant Digimon that serves under ShogunGekomon, assisting in his lord's hot spring tyranny. Also becomes an ally upon defeat.
  • Ascended Extra: Kabukimon is a form that Gatomon can take with the Digimental of Purity, but had rarely been used outside of being Bagra Army soldiers. Here, he's a much more active character.
  • The Dragon / Yes-Man: To ShogunGekomon.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Like his lord, Kabukimon pulls one upon their defeat.
  • I Never Said It Was Poison: Knocking Joe's group back when they attempt to take a dip in ShogunGekomon's hot spring, Kabukimon explained that never said he was taking them to his lord's castle so they can swim in his lord's private hot spring.
  • Kabuki Theatre: His namesake and theme.
  • Large Ham: As a kabuki-themed Digimon.

    Rebellimon 

Rebellimon

Voiced by: Hisao Egawa (Japanese), Bill Butts (English)
An ogre-like cyborg Digimon whose arms and legs have been converted into weapons and a motorcycle wheel. It roams the wasteland in search of strong fighters.

For tropes regarding its prior form, see Ogremon's profile.
  • Big Guy, Little Guy: By the end of his debut episode, Rebellimon becomes the big guy to Cutemon's little guy.
  • Blood Knight: Rebellimon is always in search of powerful opponents. He even refuses to back down from Digimon who is clearly much stronger than himself, such as Boltmon. This is the only aspect of Ogremon that hasn't wasted away.
  • Came Back Strong: He's the same Ogremon that supposedly died at the hands of MetalTyranomon, and has since reached the Ultimate level.
  • Chainsaw Good: His right arm has been converted into a giant chainsaw, which it uses for its Maximum Demolisher attack.
  • Cyborg: His head and torso are mostly organic, but the rest of it is mechanical.
  • Expy: By the end of his episode, Rebellimon becomes one of Digimon Fusion' Dorulumon. He was a member of the evil army (Dorulumon was part of the Bagra Army, Ogremon of Devimon's army) who became a wanderer, partnered with a Cutemon.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He only cares about fighting strong opponents, but eventually becomes friends with Cutemon.
  • Macross Missile Massacre: His Vanquish Missile move fires a large amount of them from the missile launcher on its left arm.
  • Something Only They Would Say: When Tai asks Rebellimon where he's going, he answers Straight Ahead, like the last words Ogremon said to them. Tai and Agumon dismiss it as a coincidence.

    Cutemon 

Cutemon

Voiced by: Houko Kuwashima (Japanese), Ben Diskin (English)
A fairy Digimon met in the wasteland that looks up to Rebellimon.
  • Big Guy, Little Guy: Cutemon becomes the little guy to Rebellimon's big guy.
  • Demoted to Extra: Cutemon's claim to fame was Digimon Fusion, where he was a major member of Mikey Kudo's Xros Heart army. In the manga, he even became a more permanent partner to Mikey's Implied Love Interest Angie Hinomoto. While definitely a major player here, he's not a partner Digimon.
  • The Medic: Cutemon has the ability to heal his allies, making insturmental in Rebellimon taking down Boltmon.
  • Morality Pet: He becomes this to Rebellimon, causing him to rush forward to save Cutemon when he goes after Boltmon.
  • Our Fairies Are Different: Cutemon's listed as a fairy type.
  • Verbal Tic: It has a tendency to say "kyu" quite often. Unlike its Fusion counterpart however, it doesn't say them after each sentence.

    Babamon 

Babamon

An ancient type Digimon that opened a school on the Cloud Continent sometime after Devimon's defeat. Despite looking like an old lady, Babamon is much more powerful than her appearance would suggest.
  • Adaptational Badass: In most continuities, Babamon has usually been portrayed as a more average Mega level in terms of power, being a good fighter in her own right but not a whole lot compared to other Megas. A notable example is in Digimon Tamers where a Babamon and a Jijimon were easily pushed back by Renamon, who is a Rookie level (albeit one with a ton of battle experience). Here, in stark contrast, she delivers a Curb-Stomp Battle to Mimi and Lillymon and later holds her own against a fellow Mega level in BanchoMamemon, demonstrating in the process an impressive array of magical abilities she had never used onscreen.
  • Broomstick Quarterstaff: Her signature weapon is a broomstick, which she can use as a regular battering weapon, blow opponents away with its "Empress Haze" attack, or create several more broomsticks to serve as obstacles.
  • Cool Old Lady: She looks like an elderly woman, but she's powerful enough to hold her own against other Megas.
  • Made of Iron: Blocks Togemon's and Lillymon's strongest attacks by simply turning away and parrying them with her back, all while joking about how they help her with her back aches.
  • My Greatest Failure: BanchoMamemon, who turned into a delinquent and left Babamon's school.
  • The Nicknamer: Calls Mimi "Mimimon" when she enrolls, despite her being a human.
  • Stern Teacher: Following BanchoMamemon's departure from her school, she had become considerably more strict in teaching her students so they don't end up like him.
  • So Proud of You: By the end of her episode, she becomes proud of Mimi for surpassing her initial expectations, as well as her and Rosemon taking down BanchoMamemon.

    Jijimon 

Jijimon

An ancient Digimon resembling an old man. Like Babamon, Jijimon is a Mega level and capable fighter in his own right.
  • Adaptational Badass: Often a Non-Action Guy or cooky old man in most continuities, but is able to handle an entire gang of Mamemon and BigMamemon with little effort in the reboot.
  • Carry a Big Stick: It wields a staff whose tip resembles Gatomon's paw, which it uses for physical strikes.
  • Cool Old Guy: A kind old man who's able to take down Ultimate levels with ease.

    BanchoMamemon 

BanchoMamemon

A mutant Digimon that acquired the title of "Bancho". It was once a student in Babamon's school until it became a delinquent and left, due to believing that being a Mega level was all it took to be strong. After a heated battle with Mimi and Rosemon, it atoned for its ways.
  • Adaptational Jerkass: BanchoMamemon is a rebellious yet heroic figure in the mythos, whereas this one is more of a dangerous delinquent and bully. He repents by the end of his debut, however.
  • Batter Up!: It uses its signature Ougon Batto ("Golden Bats") to fight, and it can also fire several Black Hickeys, living baseballs, from its tips. They can also form into giant baseballs, or even giant flaming ones.
  • Break the Haughty: Mimi and Rosemon do this to him over the course of their fight, breaking his pride and making him see that the Mega level by itself isn't everything.
  • Cephalothorax: Like all Mamemon species, BanchoMamemon is a head with arms and legs.
  • Chained by Fashion: It has several of them on its person.
  • Exactly What I Aimed At: It fires several of its Black Hickeys at Babamon, who effortlessly deflects them...only for them to chain her down, merge into a giant Black Hickey and almost crush Babamon.
  • Heel–Face Turn: After his defeat by Rosemon's hand, he softens up and is willing to go back to school.
  • Japanese Delinquents: BanchoMamemon, as well as the group he's a part of, are based on this archetype.
  • Kiai: "ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!"
  • King Mook: More like "Boss Mook". He leads several Mamemon and BigMamemon to wreak havoc at the school.
  • A Pupil of Mine Until He Turned to Evil: It once attended Babamon's school, but left after being unsatisfied with her training.
  • Surpassed the Teacher: Attempts this, believing that defeating Babamon will allow it to finally graduate.
  • Worf Had the Flu: It could have fought Olegmon, but it left its bats to get repaired.

    Strabimon 

Strabimon

Voiced by: Hiroshi Kamiya (Japanese)
A beast man hybrid Digimon that Matt and Gabumon meet. His home was wiped out when Zanbamon awoke from its prison, and he now lives with other Digimon whose homes were destroyed by the demon.
  • Ascended Extra: Strabimon is the prior form of Wolfmon and Garummon, the human and beast spirits belonging to The Lancer of Digimon Frontier, Kouji Minamoto. Despite this, it never had an anime appearance until its episode. For bonus points, its first anime appearance has it co-star with its inspiration, Garurumon. And on top of that, he's voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya, who voiced Kouji in Frontier.
  • "Blind Idiot" Translation: The official name that Bandai chooses to call it is "Storabimon"; the "o" is supposed to be omitted from its name as it's based on the German word "strabi".
  • Light 'em Up: Though it isn't seen using light-based attacks, light is this Digimon's weapon of choice.
  • Sole Survivor: Of Zanbamon's attack. He's also the only one to survive the attack seen at the beginning of the episode, as his allies Gryzmon and Hanumon are taken out with little effort.
  • Wolf Man: A humanoid wolf that normally evolves into one of the Legendary Spirits.

    Nanomon 

Nanomon

Voiced by: Hisako Kanemoto (Japanese), Brittany Lauda (English)
A machine Digimon that initially antagonizes Izzy into playing a game by taking Whamon hostage, only to be revealed to be a Garbagemon under the influence of the Soundbirdmon.
  • Adaptational Nice Guy: The Nanomon from the original was the Beleaguered Assistant to Etemon who, while initially appearing to be an ally, turned out to have one too many screws loose from Etemon punching him in the head, making a clone of Sora after kidnapping her to utilize the Crest of Love in his possession. The Nanomon here, by immense contrast, initially appears to be a full-on bad guy, but was actually a far nicer iteration of the Digimon that was simply being controlled.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: Due to the Soundbirdmon transforming his desire to meet Izzy into an obsession with surpassing him.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: Turns out to be the case. Nanomon actually idolizes Izzy and just wanted to get to know him; the Soundbirdmon turned that innocent desire into something darker.
  • Deadly Game: Challenges Izzy to one of these by giving him riddles to solve; if he guesses wrong, one of his friends is taken away. The moment all three are taken, they are to be surgetically altered into Nanomon.
  • Heel–Face Turn: He can't really be considered a true heel since he was being brainwashed, but he becomes much more jovial after he's returned to normal. Notably, it's the first mind-controlled Digimon to be purified; the Andromon back in episode 12 wasn't so lucky.
  • Nanomachines: Downplayed. He's not extactly mircosopic despite his namesake, but he is smaller than your average Ultimate level.
  • Throw Down the Bomblet: His Plug Bomb attack fires several tiny bombs from his fingertips.

    Olegmon 

Olegmon

Voiced by: Kōzō Shioya (Japanese), Xander Mobus (English)
A marine animal Digimon clad in golden armor, leading a pirate band to find food after their home became contaminated. After his defeat at Vikemon's hands, Olgemon becomes Joe's follower and stops being a pirate.
  • A Father to His Men: He cares a great deal for his crew, and will go as far as resorting to pillaging others to ensure they don't starve.
  • Adaptational Nice Guy: The Olegmon seen in Digimon Fusion was a member of the Death Generals, albeit an Affably Evil one that eventually goes out with a Heroic Sacrifice. The Olegmon here is more of a lone threat who's only fighting to save his fellow Digimon, and is much quicker to befriend.
  • Adaptational Wimp: Downplayed. Although Olegmon is one of the Death Generals that was changed into a Mega levelnote  instead of an Ultimate level, and certainly displays that kind of strength when fighting Joe and Vikemon, he distinctly lacks the shadows Jörmungandr and Surtr that reside in his shoulder armor.
  • Anti-Villain: Olegmon only became a pirate to gather food for his crew.
  • Dual Wielding: Wields dual tomahawks in combat.
  • Fire-Forged Friends: After trading blows with Vikemon, he and Joe become steadfast companions.
  • Horny Vikings: The idea behind Olegmon's design, as he's based on Helgi of Novgorod.
  • Throwing Your Sword Always Works: His Dual Tomahawk Boomerang is an axe-throwing technique.

    Gravimon 

Gravimon

Voiced by: Shigeru Nakahara (Japanese)
A Digimon of unknown type that has the power to manipulate gravity. He is among the Digimon whose homes were destroyed by Millenniummon, and helps ElDoradimon get back to the Cloud Continent.
  • Adaptational Heroism: Like Olegmon, Gravimon was one of the seven Death Generals in Digimon Fusion, and one of the crueller ones at that. But unlike Olegmon, Gravimon isn't even antagonistic in this series.
  • Adaptational Wimp: In Fusion, he was around Mega level in terms of power. But Gravimon has since been retconned an Ultimate level alongside two other Death Generalsnote .
  • Aloof Ally: He is the last Digimon whose hope is restored by T.K, and helps out immensely afterward.
  • Despair Event Horizon: By the time Gravimon is first seen, he was under a impression that everything is hopeless since losing his home to Millenniummon and believes that getting ElDoradimon back home is a fruitless endeavor. He changes his tune by the end of the episode.
  • Gravity Master: As his name suggests, he has the power to manipulate gravity at will.

    Shakkoumon 

Shakkoumon

A mutant Digimon that watched over the wasteland in ancient times, before being sealed away during the anicent war by the Puttimon and Cupimon it protected so it would no longer get hurt by the attacking Dark Digimon. It awoke while Tai and Sora were helping build the Digimon village, still believing the battle was ongoing. It was calmed down by Phoenixmon's Starlight Explosion.
  • Adaptational Badass: While the Shakkoumon in Digimon Adventure 02 was an impressive fighter, capable of absorbing BlackWarGreymon's attack and hitting him pretty dang hard, it still didn't have a lot of important victories on its own and was often overshadowed by the other DNA Digivolutions, Paildramon and Silphymon. The Shakkoumon here is significantly bigger in size than the original, with the offense to match, and doesn't even flinch against attacks from WarGreymon and Garudamon before they can calm it down.
  • Adaptational Villainy: Downplayed, as it was hardly a villain to begin with. In Digimon Adventure 02, it was a partner Digimon formed through DNA Digivolution, and in Digimon Fusion, it assisted the Xros Heart army in obtaining the Heaven Zone's Code Crown. Here, it's an ancient guardian that initially attacks Tai and Sora under the assumption that they're with the Darkness Amy.
  • Decomposite Character: Shakkoumon was famously the DNA Digivolution of T.K's Angemon and Cody Hida's Ankylomon in Digimon Adventure 02. Here, it's a separate character that has nothing to do with Patamon.
  • Demoted to Extra: As a result of being a former partner Digimon turned minor ally.
  • The Remnant: The only thing remaining of the Cupimon it was protecting, and still believed its battle was continuing.
  • Tears from a Stone: Once Phoenixmon's Starlight Explosion calms him down and the ghosts of the Cupimon and Puttimon speak to him, he breaks down in tears due to remorse from his rampage and heartbreak knowing his charges are gone.

    Valkyrimon 

Valkyrimon

Voiced by: Rio Natsuki (Japanese)
A warrior-type Digimon clad in silver armor, who is always accompanied by its golden bird Freyja. It fought in the ancient war and fell in battle, but consigned its soul to the Digital World to continue its duties. It tests Tai to see whether he's worthy of the Crest of Courage.
  • Ascended Extra: Valkyrimon is actually Hawkmon's Mega level in the WonderSwan games, but never appeared in the anime proper. This time, despite being demoted from partner Digimon to important ally, it's actually shown in person this time around.
  • Casting Gag: Her japanese voice actress voiced Miyako Inoue, who happens to be the human partner of the Digimon that Valkyrimon digivolves from.
  • Die or Fly: It sends Tai to the ancient Digital World by hitting him with its Fenrir Sword, testing his resolve in the face of danger without his friends. This event nets Tai the Crest of Courage.
  • Knight in Shining Armor: Its regular look evokes this, though its soul is only seen through a bright golden light.
  • Lotus-Eater Machine: It uses its sword as one of these to set of a test of courage for Tai in a simulated Death World. The sword breaks when he passes.
  • Loyal Animal Companion: Freyja, who assists Valkyrimon even as a departed soul.
  • Posthumous Character: Is long since dead by the time it's encountered.
