Introduced during Devimon's Arc:
Kuwagamon
- Voiced by: Ardwight Chamberlain (EN; Server)
Debut: "And so it begins..."
A big red stag beetle, and the first Digimon encountered by the chosen children after they met their partners. He terrorized them, but when the Digimon partners digivolved to their Rookie stage and started to give him a beating, he resorted to knocking them, the DigiDestined and himself off the cliff they were on. Another Kuwagamon, even larger than the one before, later attacked Tai and Agumon in the deserts of Server before being killed by Piximon, and one appeared in the real world after VenomMyotismon's defeat, knocking an airplane out of the sky. Whether this was the same one that appeared in the series premiere is left vague.
- Big Creepy-Crawlies: A giant hostile red stag beetle with powerful jaws.
- Composite Character: The larger one on Server is heavily implied to be the same one from File Island in the dub, somehow gotten larger and stronger from their last encounter. The original Japanese explicitly says that Server Kuwagamon is a separate individual.
- Evil Counterpart: While Kabuterimon is a blue rhino beetle and type Vaccine, Kuwagamon is a red stag beetle and Virus type.
- Eyeless Face: Instead of eyes it has Facial Markings.
- Flight: A big one. Has a pair of wings and can smash through just about anything in its path.
- Intangible Man: On Earth, Kabuterimon's attacks pass right through it.
- Japanese Beetle Brothers: Is a stag beetle to Kabuterimon's rhinoceros beetle.
- Multiarmed And Dangerous: Has two sets of arms.
- Starter Villain: Is the first antagonist the DigiDestined encounter, though it was more like an animal than an actual villain.
Shellmon
"There is no escaping! You're in my element now!"
- Voiced by: Yasuhiko Kawazu (JP; First Appearance), Hiroaki Hirata (JP; Second Appearance), Joey Camen (EN; First Appearance), Dave Mallow (EN; Second Appearance), Eugenio Barona (Spain)
Debut: "The Birth of Greymon"
One of the only recurring antagonists that isn't in the employ of a major villain, Shellmon first appears in episode two and is defeated when Agumon Digivolves to Greymon for the first time. Later, he returns for revenge, but is sent retreating by Biyomon and Tentomon.
- The Brute: No real motivation is given for his actions other than that Shellmon are a naturally hostile species, and he doesn't even have dialogue in his first appearance.
- The Bus Came Back: Attacks the Chosen Children a second time during the Dark Masters arc, but as he forgot to level grind, this time he's just a mere nuisance that is dispatched quickly.
- Creepy Blue Eyes: His eye coloring is unique. The whole pupil is colored in dark blue instead of a traditional black pupil. Whether it's a reptile-type membrane is unknown.
- Evil Sounds Deep: Particularly in his first appearance where his voice had a garbled filter over it (Japanese only).
- Making a Splash: His main attack, Aqua Blaster, a jet of water thrown from his tentacle hair.
- Pokémon Speak: In the original Japanese during his first appearance, he uttered "Shell..." a few times.
- Sea Monster: A large reptiloid mollusk with an enormous drilling shell similar to Slowbro's Shellder
◊. - Spikes of Villainy: They're all over his shell.
- Suddenly Voiced: In his reappearance during the Dark Masters Arc. He spoke in growls when the children first meet him.
- Tunnel King: Digs tunnels under the sand with his shell which also acts as a drill.
- Twinkle in the Sky: Made one by Greymon.
- Villain Forgot to Level Grind: It's pointed out in the show after just two Rookies are needed to dispatch him the second time that they've obviously gotten a lot stronger since it took a Champion to beat him the first time.
- Wounded Gazelle Gambit: When he reappears, he's taken to pretending to be someone drowning in order to lure in victims.
- You Need a Breath Mint: "Oh, that breath! Ever hear of flossing?"
Seadramon
- Voiced by: Ardwight Chamberlain (EN)
Debut: "Garurumon"
A Digimon that appears during the Chosen Children's first night in the Digital World, when they come across an abandoned trolley car near a lake, where they decide to spend the night. The lake turns out to be inhabited by a Seadramon that gets angry and attacks the group when an ember from their bonfire hits their tail.
- An Ice Person: His Ice Arrow attack is, as it's name indicates, an ice based attack. Seadramon tries to use it to freeze Garurumon, but it doesn't work.
- Monster of the Week: Serves as a one-episode antagonist during episode 3 and never appears again after their defeat.
- Non-Malicious Monster: They're implied to be this, as Tentomon states that Seadramon doesn't attack unless he feels threatened. They act more like a wild predator defending their territory.
- Sea Monster: A giant aquatic serpent that inhabits a lake in File Island.
Bakemon
- Voiced by: Keaton Yamada, Katashi Ishizuka, Keiichi Sonobe (JP, TV series), Shusaku Shirakawa (JP, PSP), Dan Lorge, Brianne Siddall, R. Martin Klein, David Greenlee, Dan Woren, Mari Devon (EN), Bill Timoney (EN, Lord Bakemon), Michael Reisz (Episode 27), David Greenlee (Episode 35) (EN, Myotismon's messenger) Juan Carlos Lozano (Spain)
Debut: "The Dancing Digimon"
First appears in episode 11, when the DigiDestined were separated, and Joe and Sora encounter a group in a cemetery. They are able to merge together to form a "Lord Bakemon". Later, many more are encountered in Myotismon's employ, working under Phantomon. As evil spirits, they are weak against faith.
The Lord Bakemon also holds the honor of being the first enemy to be destroyed by the children's Digimon rather than just made to retreat.
- Bedsheet Ghost: No one knows what's inside, except from some blue claws and its sharp teeth.
- Bowdlerization: In the original, Joe chanted Buddhist sutras to weaken the Bakemon; in the dub, this is changed to repeating the mantra "Bakemon, lose your power".
- Com Mons: They are the most numerous Digimon in the series, along with Numemon, especially when serving Myotismon.
- Killed Off for Real: The first enemy Digimon to be killed. Earlier ones were simply unbrainwashed or sent somewhere far away.
- King Mook: Lord Bakemon, an unusually large and powerful Bakemon that rules over a community of his lesser kin.
- Mooks: During the Myotismon arc, they serve him as numerous and nearly omnipresent but individually very weak soldiers — when the story needs to show the heroes being challenged by Myotismon's forces but doesn't need them to be seriously challenged or have to fight an actual battle, the Bakemon show up.
- Red Right Hand: Lord Bakemon has wrinkled blue arms.
- To Serve Man: In their first appearance, the Bakemon want to eat Joe and Sora.
- Villain Decay: In their first appearance, they were more than capable of taking on the children's Rookie-level Digimon on their own, and it took the combined might of Birdramon and Ikkakumon to take down the Lord Bakemon even after it had been weakened by Joe's chanting. Come the Myotismon arc, the chanting itself is enough to incapacitate them, and the Rookies are easily taking on multiple Bakemon.
- Weaksauce Weakness: The first time they face the Bakemon, Joe uses mind over matter (the spiritual kind, not the telekinetic trope) to weaken them. The second time? Sora does this by recording. This might be a case of Dub-Induced Plot Hole, as in the original Joe invoked Buddhist sutras which might still work even if being broadcasted via a recording if the words themselves hold power even without the faith of the speaker behind them.
Introduced during Etemon's Arc
Kokatorimon (Cockatrimon)
- Voiced by: Keiichi Sonobe (JP, TV series), Taiten Kusunoki (JP, PSP), Matthew K. Miller (EN), BenjamÃn Rivera (Latin America), José MarÃa Carrero (Spain)
Debut: "The Crest of Sincerity"
A flightless bird Digimon with petrification powers based on the mythical cockatrice. He owns a large transoceanic ship, worked by Numemon slaves, that cruises the desert in the Server Continent; he's also allied with Etemon to find the Digi-Destined. He's called Cockatrimon in the Japanese original.
- Basilisk and Cockatrice: The cockatrice, specifically — it's a large, chicken-like avian with the ability to petrify its foes.
- Deadly Gaze: As he is based on the mythical creature cockatrice (a chicken-snake hybrid similar to the basilisk), his powers rely on Taken for Granite at sight.
- Evil Gloating: After intercepting Mimi, Sora, Biyomon and Palmon, he spends several seconds gloating about how he's captured the other kids and petrified the other Digimon, and about how he's going to capture them too. This gives the heroes the time to come to grips with the situation, costing him the element of surprise and, when he finally gets around to attacking, allowing them to dodge his Eye Beams and flee.
- The Heavy: For Etemon in "The Crest of Sincerity". As he can't contact him due to some technical problems with the Dark Net, he takes the situation of capturing the children by himself.
- Human Disguise: Appears as a human captain at first, until he removes his disguise and revealed his true form. What makes this really odd is that none of the Chosen Children ever see his disguise or even hear about the captain being supposedly human. He sheds the disguise right away 10 seconds into his introduction, he can operate the ship just fine in Digimon form, and the ship itself isn't even a trap set by him, since the Chosen Children entered the ship by sheer coincidence.
- Monster of the Week: Has this kind of treatment, getting killed in the same episode of his first appearance.
- Taken for Granite: His Signature Move turns Digimon into stone, which he does to five out of the seven Partner Digimon.
- Toothy Bird: Of the sharp toothed kind. His lower jaw has no beak and has three long sharp incisives.
- Villainous Breakdown: After he is defeated by Birdramon and Togemon, he tries to charge his ship against the children, only to be intercepted by a giant cactus on the way that causes the ship to be launched into the air and explode.
- Wings Do Nothing: They only act as hands. He is incapable of flying, something that irritates him very much when fighting Birdramon. After the cruise crashes into the cactus and sends it up to the air, he flaps them and thinks he can really fly for about five seconds before gravity kicks in and reminds him that he can't.
Datamon (Nanomon)
- Voiced by: Hidenari Ugaki (JP, TV series), Shusaku Shirakawa (JP, PSP), Terrence Stone (EN), José Gilberto Vilchis (Latin America), Eugenio Barona (Spain)
Debut: "The Prisoner of the Pyramid"
Called Nanomon in the Japanese version and an enemy of Etemon's, this robotic Digimon is completely unhinged. Was once a Vaccine type, but became a Virus type after an attack from a powerful Virus type destroyed his logic circuits. Out for revenge against Etemon for sealing him in a pyramid. Kidnaps Sora and tries to create a copy of her so that he can use her crest and digivice against Etemon.
- Anti-Villain: In the sense that, he wants to defeat Etemon, but his methods are just unforgivable.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Fires his Plug Bombs into Etemon's Dark Network, causing it to grow and swallow him up.
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: He mentions that Etemon destroyed all his memories prior to their fight, and as such, had no way of returning to his previous life, and thus chose to dedicate himself to getting revenge against Etemon at all costs.
- Revenge: His primary motivation against Etemon.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: Sealed by another villain, actually, and out for revenge.
- Spanner in the Works: His tampering with Etemon's Dark Network interfered with Etemon's hunt for the Digidestined. It took him awhile to figure our Datamon was responsible.
- Taking You with Me: Tries to do this to Etemon. Too bad it didn't take.
- Ungrateful Bastard: After being released from his prison, he attacks Etemon, with no qualms about hurting Birdramon in the process. Tai calls him out in the dub.Tai: Hey! We set you free!
Datamon: And I greatly appreciate that, you chumps! - Wild Card: Not actually directly opposed to the DigiDestined; in fact, they shared a common enemy and could easily have been allies if Datamon had just asked them for help instead of trying to use them.
- Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: It's somewhat difficult to not feel sorry for him after all the things Etemon did to him.
Introduced during Myotismon's Arc:
DemiDevimon (PicoDevimon)
- Voiced by: Kouki Miyata (JP), Derek Stephen Prince (EN), Yamil Atala (Latin America), Blanca Rada (Spain)
One of Myotismon's lackeys, stirs up trouble for the DigiDestined. Tries to steal their crests, inevitably ending up being the one to cause the crests to activate instead. Gets abused by Myotismon and the DigiDestined alike.
- Alas, Poor Villain: He gets abused so much after failing against the DigiDestined every time that it's easy to sympathize with him, especially when he gets eaten by VenomMyotismon at the end.
- Ambiguously Related: While his species is canonically one of the pre-evolutions of Devimon, what connection, if any, he has to the Devimon that was the Big Bad of the previous arc is never made clear. A popular theory has long been that he's Devimon brought Back from the Dead (not impossible considering the inherent Born-Again Immortality Digimon have), but if this is true, he clearly didn't regenerate with his memories intact like Patamon did and no one in-universe notes any resemblance.
- Back from the Dead: He's alive and well in the 2009 short 'Digimon Adventure 3D — Digimon Grandprix!', racing against V-mon and the other Adventure Digimon.
- Bowdlerization: Aside from in "Sora's Crest of Love" where it was too important to the plot to cut out, his Demi Dart is cut out of the English dub due to its resemblance to a syringe, which carries an association with drugs.
- Chew Toy: Constantly beaten up.
- Co-Dragons: He does technically share the Dragon status with Gatomon, and was able to give the Digidestined a run for their money before Tai came back. However, his ineffectiveness shows he's not quite up to the job and is woefully underpowered compared to Gatomon or Phantomon.
- Cute Is Evil: A prominent minion of one of the villains...but wouldn't look half bad as a plushie.
- Devour the Dragon: His eventual fate. A particularly bad variant too since VenomMyotismon swallows him whole as he panics and tries to escape.
- Dirty Coward: DemiDevimon isn't very good at fighting due to being a Rookie level, so he prefers manipulation and sneak attacks to get his way.
- Dragon Their Feet: Claims to have originally worked for Etemon, despite not showing up until after Etemon's defeat. Given that he was lying about having reformed, though, he may have been lying about his past ties to Etemon as well.
- Evil Counterpart: He's the Rookie form of Devimon. Guess which two Digimon beat him up most frequently (besides Myotismon himself)? Yep, Gatomon and Patamon.
- Faux Affably Evil: He appears as a Digimon who thanks the children for defeating Etemon and helps them to reunite after their separation. He is specially affable to T.K., the youngest Digi Destined, though Matt's little brother seemed to forgot that Devimon is really bad news.
- Harmless Villain: Aside from using a Demi Dart to hurt Biyomon, he doesn't seem to be able to do much on his own, so he pretty much has to rely on manipulating others and using other Digimon to do the dirty work. Not to mention, everything pretty much backfires on him, no matter what. Oh, and he's a Rookie-level Digimon. What else would you expect? Although some of his syringes are shown to be lethal or at least very noxious, turning a plant into dust upon hitting it.
- The Imp: A mischievous little devil who wants to break the friendship bonds between the Digi Destined and their Digimon partners following Myotismon's orders.
- Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Some may disagree whether he's sympathetic, but he's definitely comically ineffectual.
- Manipulative Bastard: DemiDevimon's modus operandi as a species, which is on full display in his earlier episodes. He manipulates T.K., Joe and ShogunGekomon's minions, giving them false hopes, and plants the seeds of doubt in Matt and Sora, all to make sure the group's crests never glow. Only a few sensible Digimon didn't stand his nonsense, such as little Tokomon and fellow con Vademon.
- Meaningful Name: The "-Devimon" part of his name shows that he's Obviously Evil, while both the original "Pico-" and dubbed "Demi-" parts of his name show that he's only a nuisance at most ("pico" being a prefix for an extremely small unit in the International System of Units, and "demi" being a prefix meaning "half").
- Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: For about five straight episodes, earning more and more ire from Myotismon every time.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The easily detracted, easily flustered and eager red to Gatomon's professional, efficient blue.
- Undying Loyalty: To Myotismon. Despite all the lashings he gets, DemiDevimon is with him until the bitter end. For all that entails.
Digitamamon
- Voiced by: Jin Horikawa (JP, TV series), Satoshi Tsuruoka (JP, PSP), Derek Stephen Prince (EN), José Luis McConnell (Latin America), Rafael Calvonote (Spain)
Debut: "WereGarurumon's Diner"
The owner of a restaurant near a large lake in the Server Continent. He has Joe and Matt to work in an abusive way, under the eye of his The Dragon Vegiemon. Due to an accepted bribe by DemiDevimon, he retains them to break Matt's Crest of Friendship by getting him tired of the clumsy and insecure Joe. The plan fails and he was ultimately knocked out by WereGarurumon's The Power of Friendship.
He returns in Adventure 02, this time accusing Yolei of not paying and gets possessed by one of Digimon Emperor's Dark Rings. There's also another Digitamamon (in the American dub it's supposed to be the same) owning a Chinese-type restaurant.
- Bad Boss: He has two children under the age of 13 working in an abusive way for two weeks! But he is not cruel to Vegiemon due to his loyalty.
- Casting a Shadow: His true form is the evil-looking spirit that inhabits the eggshell. His Nightmare Syndrome attack has him reveal this form to attack his foes.
- Composite Character: The dub of 02 makes the Digitamamon who that kids meet while looking for the Destiny Stone the same one who appeared in Adventure and earlier in 02.
- Eggshell Clothing: He is a creature with green legs, dark face and yellow eyes inside a large egg shell.
- Glowing Eyes: The only facial feature you see from his cracked shell.
- Lorre Lookalike: His voice in the English dub is a Peter Lorre impression.
- Took a Level in Kindness: After a conversation with Mimi, he accepts the Digidestined as friends and even defends them from Gorillamon. He receives a Dark Spiral for his troubles, but is friendly enough again after the brainwashing has been lifted.
- Would Hurt a Child: He tried to tackle Matt after his Shut Up, Hannibal!
Vademon
- Voiced by: Takuma Suzuki (JP, TV series), Ryo Naito (JP, PSP), Robert Axelrod (EN), Marcos Patiño (Latin America), Francisco Andrés Valdivia (Spain)
Debut: "No Questions, Please"
An alien-like Digimon who lives under a mountain in the Server Continent. He has a Pocket Dimension of his own under the ground to trap peasants and trick them by threatening to send them to Hell if they don't release their curiosity from their minds so he can collect them.
Izzy and Tentomon fall after DemiDevimon guides them with warnings spread all over the road. Izzy falls under his trap and releases his curious mind for Vademon, remaining brainwashed. Meanwhile DemiDevimon pleads Vademon with false promises to steal Izzy's Crest of Knowledge, but Izzy regains his mind thanks to Tentomon. Vademon fights against Kabuterimon but his powerful Ultimate level forces the giant beetle to digivolve to MegaKabuterimon for the first time and defeats him.
- Aliens Are Bastards: Tricks any peasant that falls to his pocket dimension to release their curious minds for selfish purposes.
- Camp: His voice and mannerisms are quite posh, even in the dub where he sounds a tad rougher.
- Energy Weapon: His secondary attack, Alien Ray, is thrown from his weapon of choice.
- Evil Mentor: After Izzy loses his mind, Vademon "teaches" him some deep nonsense to keep Izzy distracted from his curiosity.
- Kiss of Death: Unidentified Flying Kiss, which consists of a shower of meteors to his opponent while throwing a kiss. And if that fails, a planet will do.
- Monster of the Week: Killed in the episode of his debut and is never even mentioned again afterward nor was he affiliated with the major villainous threats, serving only as a one-episode antagonist for Koushiro and Tentomon.
- My Brain Is Big: Anyone would question how he can balance the weight of all that mass over his skinny body and tentacles.
- Sissy Villain: Vademon has some rather effeminate mannerisms, such as swaying his hips when he walks and clearly having applied lipstick. The dub seemingly tried to tone his campiness down by making the voice a bit rougher, but it still comes across as fairly effeminate.
- Toilet Humour: Among other things, he collects feces. In fact, this is how he wanted to be paid by DemiDevimon in return for Izzy's crest. The dub excises this particular trait, leading to him wanting some of DemiDevimon's curiosity instead.
Mammothmon (Mammon)
- Voiced by: Tom Wyner (EN)
Debut: "Return to Highton View Terrace"
A mammoth-like Digimon recruited by Tailmon to look for the Eight Child in Japan.
- An Ice Person: More like, an ice mammoth - his Tundra Breath is an ice-based attack.
- Cyber Cyclops: A mammoth-like Digimon with robotic components that has only one eye.
- Exotic Eye Designs: His single eye seems to be just an eye symbol drawn over his head, but it seems to function like a normal eye despite being so different from the eyes seen in any other Digimon character.
- Kill It with Fire:
- He can use his tusks as missiles.
- Mammon is also at the receiving end of this, being killed by Garudamon's Shadow Wing.
- Monster of the Week: Defeated in the same episode he debuted in and barely mentioned again after it is over, if at all.
- Non-Malicious Monster: During his only appearence he acts more in this fashion than as a Digimon actively looking for the Eight Child, just wreaking havoc in Hikarigaoka. Lampshaded by Tailmon that says to herself that she doesn't know what Mammon is trying to achieve by doing that, and that she shouldn't have brought him to the real world.
- Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Zigzagged: Everyone notices Mammon and all the destruction he's causing, but one couple treats it like a completely normal occurence, assuming that it must be for a film. It's also worth noting that, despite Mammon not looking at all like a real elephant, lot's of people in-universe mistake him by one.
Gesomon
A squid-like Digimon recruited to look for the Eight Child in Japan.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: On the receiving end of this, as his fight with Ikkakumon lasts barely a minute.
- Giant Squid: Greatly resembles one.
- Informed Ability: Has an attack named Deadly Shadow, but we never get to see him using it.
- Sea Monster: A giant squid-like Digimon.
- Unusually Uninteresting Sight: This trope is even more evident with Gesomon than it was with the previous Monster of the Week, Mammon. Apart from the guy that gave the Chosen Children a ride, that is startled at first, no one thinks much of the fight between Gesomon and Ikkakumon, as most assume it's a set up for some kind of event. A salaryman is seen treating the fight as it's something that happens everyday in Japan and a lady seeing the fight from a restaurant even comments that she things Gesomon and Ikkakumon are cute.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: Out of all monsters of the week introduced in Vandemon's arc, Gesomon is probably the one hit by this the most, as he spends not even two minutes on screen before being defeated by Ikkakumon.
Raremon
- Voiced by: Terrence Stone (EN)
Debut: "The Eighth Digivice"
An undead Digimon recruited to search for the Eight Child.
- Acid Attack: Attacks his enemies by spitting acid on them.
- Ambiguous Situation: Raremon dies in the end of the episode he appears in, but it's unknown if his rampage in Shibaura caused any casualities. In a news report, a civilian is seen being taken to the hospital, but the audience doesn't learn anything beyond this.
- Cyborg: Explicitly stated to have tried to reinforce his body with mechanical parts.
- Monster of the Week: Is defeated in the episode he debuts in.
- Our Zombies Are Different: Stated to be an undead Digimon that tried to reinforce his decaying body with mechanical parts.
- Poisonous Person: His main form of attack, Hedoro, is acid-based.
Phantomon
- Voiced by: Takahiro Sakurai (JP), Dave Guerrie (EN), José MarÃa Carrero (Spain)
Debut: "Sora's Crest of Love"
Myotismon's strongest underling, one of only four Ultimate-level Digimon to appear under his command (the others being SkullMeramon, Mammothmon and MegaSeadramon). First appears driving Myotismon's stagecoach; later reappears as the commander of the Bakemon army and also summons Tuskmon and Snimon to delay the children and smashes the recording that was weakening the Bakemon. Was caught in the crossfire when all eight DigiDestined Digimon attacked Myotismon, succumbing to Angemon's Hand of Fate.
- Affably Evil: Polite and true to his word in the Japanese version. When Hikari surrenders herself to save her friends, he genuinely praises her and lets the others go.
- Battle Butler: He could be seen as this, since he first appears driving Myotismon's stagecoach.
- Devour the Dragon: In the novelization, he escapes Angemon's Hand of Fate only to be consumed by his boss to fuel his transformation.
- The Dragon: After Gatomon defects, he becomes Myotismon's second in command. Phantomon leads Myotismon's armies and is right at his master's side during the final battle with the heroes. (Well, the final one before Myotismon came back in a more powerful form, anyway.)
- Enemy Summoner: Does very little fighting for himself, using his army of Bakemon for most attacks and summoning Tuskmon and Snimon to battle Matt and Sora's Digimon.
- Epic Flail: There is a small flail connected via chain to the end of his scythe, making the whole thing into something of a modified kusarigama.
- Evil Sounds Deep: Guerrie voiced Phantomon in the style of Boris Karloff. Inverted in the Japanese version, where Sakurai gave him a high-pitched wail.
- Expy: The Death to Myotismon's Dracula.
- Mook Lieutenant: He leads Myotismon's Bakemon, his own default preevolutions, directing and organizing their activities on his boss' account.
- Sinister Scythe: He is based on The Grim Reaper, after all.
- Spared by the Adaptation: Darkly subverted. He's only briefly mentioned in the novel, and isn't initially shown to die... only to then be among the minions Vamdemon devours in order to reach his One-Winged Angel stage.
- Splash Damage: How he meets his end; Angemon hits Myotismon with a Hand of Fate, and despite just standing next to him, Phantomon is destroyed.
- Would Hurt a Child: Apart from helping in the manhunt for the eighth child, Phantomon at one point strangles Matt with his chain.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: In the novelization, he's killed during The Purge.
MegaSeadramon
A sea serpent Digimon that appears during Vamdemon's search for the Eight Child.
- Bit Character: He's in the narrative to be an obstacle for Jou and Takeru to overcome and to provide a reason for Jou to perfome an Heroic Sacrifice and allow Ikkakumon to evolve to Zudomon.
- Monumental Damage: He destroys the Rainbow Bridge, a real-life landmark, to further cut any connections from and to Odaiba.
- Sea Monster: A giant sea serpent.
- Shock and Awe: His attack, Thunder Javelin.
- Upgraded Boss: MegaSeadramon is an evolded form of Seadramon, a Digimon the Chosen Children faced back in File Island thirty three episodes earlier.
Introduced during the Dark Masters Arc:
Scorpiomon (Anomalocarimon)
One of MetalSeadramon's minions, to whom is given the mission of capturing the Chosen Children and their Digimon
- Big Creepy-Crawlies: Resembles a giant scorpion (hence his English name).
- Death Flight: His death is a variant of this trope, with MetalSeadramon grabbing him, flying to a high enough height, and then dropping Scorpiomon to his doom.
- Death Trap: Tries to lead the Chosen Children and their Digimon into one, by having them come into a fake beach shack.
- Dishing Out Dirt: Uses sand-based attacks.
- Spanner in the Works: Not him, but it's worth mentioning that his plan of attracting the Chosen Children to a Death Trap failed by pure chance: Jou stepped on Mimi's shoe while everyone was running to the fake beach shack, and the two stopped while Mimi was putting her shoe back on. Because of this, Mimi and Jou don't get trapped there and are able to fight Scorpiomon and save their friends, foiling his plan.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Clams.
- You Have Failed Me: MetalSeadramon kills him for letting the Chosen Children escape.
Kiwimon
A minion of Puppetmon's who confronts the chosen children to keep them from finding T.K. after his master kidnaps him.
- Abnormal Ammo: He shoots tiny versions of himself out of his beak when he fights.
- Adapted Out: He's absent in the Tokyopop manhua.
- Battle Butler: His English voice makes him sound like one.
- Dem Bones: His head looks like a skull.
- Feathered Fiend: An obnoxious and villainous kiwi.
- Kill It with Fire: After Matt tries to get information out of him (and he acts as unhelpful as possible), Sora finally gets fed up with all the time they're wasting while confronting him and has Birdramon kill him with a fire blast.
- Monster of the Week: Puppetmon sends him to fight the other Chosen Children after he has taken Takeru, and ends up dying in the same episode where he was introduced, never being mentioned again.
- Planimal: Is clearly a bird, but has leaves growing out of his head to reference the fruit with the same name.
Cherrymon (Jyureimon)
"Wait a minute, Puppetmon, I have a better idea. You can take care of those other DigiDestined children if you want to, but as for this one, leave him to me. I'll have him climbing up a tree before I'm through with him!"
- Voiced by: Masami Kikuchi (JP, TV series), Haruo Sato (JP, PSP), Jeff Nimoy (EN), Maynardo Zavala (Latin America), Jorge Teixeira (Spain)
Debut: "Trash Day"
A wise old Digimon who seems to be a friend of Puppetmon's. He sows dissension among the DigiDestined, realizing that united, they would be too strong for Puppetmon, but warns Puppetmon to be cautious anyway. Puppetmon dislikes this "negative attitude" and destroys him for it. He's known as Jureimon in the Japanese version.
- Brutal Honesty: What ultimately gets him killed. Had Cherrymon not cared to tell Puppetmon that the Chosen Children may defeat him because they have something Puppetmon lacks, he would have lived longer.
- The Consigliere: To Puppetmon. Ironically, his dub portrayal was inspired by the Don in the relationship that made this trope's name famous.
- The Corrupter: Manages to turn Matt against the rest of the DigiDestined.
- The Dragon: Puppetmon's advisor, as well as his canonical prior form.
- Evil Mentor: Matt knew that Cherrymon worked for Puppetmon, but listened to him anyway.
- Fluffy the Terrible: Cherrymon isn't exactly a name you would think about when describing a manipulative tree monster. That being said, the Japanese "Jyureimon" better expresses his nature as a Wise Tree.
- Haven't You Seen X Before?: "Well, well, well, look what we've got here. Greetings, nature lovers. What, you mean you've never seen a talking tree?"
- Hypercompetent Sidekick: In contrast to Puppetmon, Cherrymon's manipulation tactics causes long-term damage to the heroes that causes some to depart from the group until the final battle. This produced far better results than his highly incompetent superior.
- I Warned You: A variation. Puppetmon brushed off his concerns about taking the Digidestined seriously, but when the tide of the battle started to turn against him, Cherrymon's words came back to haunt him.
- Lame Pun Reaction: "Calm down, my fighting days are over. I only want to talk with you. In fact, you might even say... I've turned over a new leaf!" (laughs, then awkwardly stops)
- The Magnificent: The Lord of the Forest.
- Manipulative Bastard: He convinced Matt and Gabumon to fight Tai and Agumon so his master Puppetmon could get a chance to kill the children without the intervention of Mega Digimon. Even when it failed, the group started fracturing from then on until reuniting for the finale.
- More than Mind Control: Uses Matt's inferiority complex to manipulate Matt into fighting Tai.
- Oh, Crap!: When he realizes he's said the exact wrong thing to Puppetmon, and can only stammer "Well... not totally."
- Older Sidekick: To Puppetmon. Ironic, since Cherrymon actually digivolves into Puppetmon.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The cool, calculating blue to his impetuous boss Puppetmon's red.
- Rubber Man: When Matt and Gabumon try to walk off, he stretches out one of his limbs to block them.
- Shout-Out: Jeff Nimoy's portrayal is one big Shout-Out to Marlon Brando, drawing a lot of inspiration from Vito Corleone and sharing his last words with Colonel Kurtz.
- Small Role, Big Impact: A minion that has a major role in one episode and is subsequently killed off, but is responsible for Matt and Tai fighting and the DigiDestined's subsequent Breaking the Fellowship.
- Spared by the Adaptation: His death scene is removed from the Tokyopop Manhua.
- Spirit Advisor: In the English dub, as Puppetmon is dying, he asks Cherrymon what it was that the DigiDestined had that he didn't have, and Cherrymon's voice replies, "Friends."
- Treants: He resembles a six-armed cherry tree walking around on its roots, with a face on its trunks including a mustache made out of foliage. He serves as the chief henchman to Puppetmon, the Dark Master who rules over Spiral Mountain's forested areas.
- When Trees Attack: Or when trees manipulate.
- Wise Tree: An evil kind, as he is a great Manipulative Bastard and the brains behind one of the main villains. He also recognizes that the friendship between the DigiDestined is something that shouldn't be underestimated (unfortunately his attempt at imparting this to Puppetmon gets him smashed to splinters).
Garbagemon (Gerbemon)
- Voiced by: Hiroaki Hirata, Junko Takeuchi, Toshiko Fujita (JP), Dan Lorge, Doug Erholtz, Dave Mallow (EN)
Debut: "Trash Day"
A group of three Digimon allied with Puppetmon.
- Kill It with Fire: One of them dies after being bombed by MetalGreymon's Giga Destroyer.
- Kill It with Ice: The fate of the last Gerbemon at the hands of MetalGarurumon.
- Lethal Joke Character: Zigzagged. At first it seems like they are Joke Characters, but given that they are at Perfect level, they can't be hurt by the attacks of Adult level Digimon, becoming this... but once the Chosen Children's Digimon evolve to their Perfect forms, they go back to being Joke Characters, with two of them being destroyed by Lilimon's Flower Canon and MetalGreymon's Giga Destroyer with ease... but then the last one reveals that the garbage cans they are in are actually black holes that can suck everything around them into it. But then he's killed by MetalGarurumon's Cocytus Breath before he can actually suck Hikari and Tailmon into it.
- The Pig-Pen: They're absolutely filthy, living in garbage cans and using poop-based attacks.
- Toilet Humor: They use poop-based attacks. The absurdity of this is actually lampshaded in two different situations:
- Mimi, fed up with them, just stands in the way of the attack, grabs the Digimon poop mid-air, and throws it back at the Gerbemons. Everyone else reacts
as one would expect, including Puppetmon himself. - When MetalGreymon uses his Giga Destroyer to destroy one of the Gerbemons, he actually tries to retaliate by throwing a poop back at him. It goes as well as one would expect.
- Mimi, fed up with them, just stands in the way of the attack, grabs the Digimon poop mid-air, and throws it back at the Gerbemons. Everyone else reacts

- Bears Are Bad News: A teddy bear-like Digimon that is pretty much evil and in charge of watching over the enslaved Numemon.
- Dirty Coward: Flees the battle with the Chosen Children as soon as they start attacking him.
- Evil Costume Switch: If the theory that WaruMonzaemon is File Island's Monzaemon turned evil are to be believed.
- Informed Ability: Has an attack named "Heartbreak Attack", but the audience never gets to see it as he doesn't use it in his only confrontation with the Chosen Children.
- Palette Swap: Has black fur and a cloth around his arm with the Japanese word for "Evil", in a Obviously Evil version of Monzaemon's more friendly look.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: Is killed by Machinedramon about 10 minutes after being introduced.

- Voiced by: Ai Nagano (JP, TV series), Satomi Akesaka (JP, PSP), Melodee Spevack (EN), Mónica Manjarrez (Latin America), Carolina Tak (Spain)
Debut: "Joe's Battle"
Piedmon's lieutenant who volunteers to fight the Digidestined when they arrive at the top of Spiral Mountain. She proves to be a formidable opponent, as she simultaneously takes on Angewomon, Andromon, AtlurKabuterimon, Angemon, Birdramon, and Agumon, and swats most of them aside effortlessly. She then gets into a Cat Fight with Angewomon, complete with slapping and hair-pulling. LadyDevimon defeats Angewomon with a roundhouse kick and prepares to finish her off with her Darkness Spear. However, AtlurKabuterimon intervenes at the last moment, saving Angewomon and clearing the path for a final battle with Piedmon.
She returns in Digimon Adventure 02 as part of Daemon Corp. She gets into yet another Cat Fight with Angewomon and again defeats her, overpowering Angewomon by twisting both of Angewomon's arms painfully against her sides. She later fights Sylphimon (Gatomon's DNA Digivolution with Aquilamon) and defeats them. She then attacks a group of skaters, but Yolie distracts her by smacking LadyDevimon with a skateboard, which again creates an opening that results in her defeat.
- Adapted Out: The fight with her is omitted in the Tokyopop Manhua.
- Air Jousting: Engages in one against Silphymon and wins by knocking them out of the sky with her Darkness Wave.
- Barrage of Bats: Her main attack, Darkness Wave. She does it in a similar way to that of Myotismon's but by dancing.
- Bitch Alert: Sora and Hikari are immediately annoyed once she makes her appearance in front of the children, though none of the boys seemingly find her more annoying than any other evil digimon they've encountered.note
- Bitch Slap: Exchanges a flurry of them with Angewomon during the climax of their Cat Fight.Angewomon: (slapping LadyDevimon) "It's on, bitch!"
LadyDevimon: (slapping Angewomon back) "What's wrong with you?" - Bodyguard Babes: Piedmon's most powerful minion is a female version of Devimon.
- Brutal Brawl: Her battle with Angewomon. Even though both of their signature moves are ranged attacks drawing on their respective holy and dark powers, the bulk of the combat between Angewomon and LadyDevimon consists of a fierce melee in which the two exchange punches, kicks, and slaps.
- By the Hair: Employs this against Angewomon.LadyDevimon: (spinning Angewomon around by her blonde hair) "Never did like that bleached look!"
AtlurKabuterimon: (catching Angewomon) "Are you all right?"
Angewomon: (struggling to free herself from AtlurKabuterimon's grip) "Let me go! Let me at her!" - Cat Fight: With Angewomon. As a bonus, in the source material, LadyDevimon is also a digivolved form of BlackTailmon / BlackGatomon, a demonic and viral counterpart of Tailmon / Gatomon. So, both Angewomon and LadyDevimon were literally... cats.Tai: "Wow, look at them go!"
Izzy: "I know I shouldn't watch this, but I can't take my eyes off!"
Kari: "Get her, Angewomon!" - Clingy Costume: Her costume seems to be a living thing in its own right. It certainly seems to have a lot of mouths and eyes.
- Combat Pragmatist: Gains an advantage in her fights with Angewomon by yanking her around by her tresses and drop-kicking her in the back. She eventually defeats Angewomon in their first Cat Fight by roundhouse-kicking her to the ground and in the second one by twisting Angewomon's arms painfully against her sides. She also takes a hostage in her fight against Silphymon.
- Dark Action Girl: Angewomon's Evil Counterpart and just as capable in combat.
- Dark Is Evil: All her attacks have "dark" in their names and she is, in her own words, cruel and heartless.
- Designated Girl Fight: Against Angewomon obviously. Angewomon specifically tells to MegaKabuterimon not to intervene even for help.
- Distaff Counterpart: To Devimon.
- The Dragon: To Piedmon. Her most powerful one though. Easy to miss, but she was holding her own against Angemon and Angewomon simultaneously. Most other mons of her type would have been one-shotted by either one of them.
- Dressed Like a Dominatrix: Wears a latex black outfit adorned with belts and chains, and torn in strategic places.
- Evil Counterpart: To Angewomon.
- Eyes Do Not Belong There: She has a lot of them on her outfit.
- Fallen Angel: In the same fashion as Devimon, LadyDevimon is meant to be a corrupted Angewomon.
- Fashionable Asymmetry: As happens with lots of Digimon though she's more stripperific, as from her left side you can see more of her skin. Also, her left hand is a giant claw while her right hand is average sized.
- Femme Fatalons: Very large ones and colored red in her left hand.
- Good Wings, Evil Wings: Tattered bat wings.
- Hellbent For Leather: Yep.
- Hot as Hell: A demonic lady with a stripperific black outfit that shows some skin and blessed with a nice bust.
- I Broke a Nail: Attempts to impale Angewomon with her Darkness Spear attack, only for MegaKabuterimon to block it and cause it to snap in half. Lampshaded in the dub:LadyDevimon: "You broke it!"
MegaKabuterimon: "Aww, send me the bill." - I Shall Taunt You: LadyDevimon proves to be a master of mockery and taunts. She needles the Digidestined throughout the battle, treating them like "adorable little boys" who are fighting for her attention. LadyDevimon's insults and mock flirtations fluster and enrage Angewomon to no end, goading the angel into charging recklessly into battle against her rival. LadyDevimon reacts to Angewomon's fury with even more mockery and laughter, elegantly sidestepping Angewomon's ferocious attacks and gracefully countering the her blows.LadyDevimon: (laughing seductively) Welcome, adorable little boys!
LadyDevimon: (extinguishing the Digidestineds' attacks with an elegant flick of her wrist) "I'm sorry, are we just pretending? Let me know when you're ready."
LadyDevimon: (landing a dropkick on Angewomon) "Oops, sorry, blondie!"
LadyDevimon: (swinging Angewomon around by her hair) "Never did like that bleached look!"
LadyDevimon: (after defeating Angewomon) "This game is over! You're grounded, goldilocks!" - More Deadly Than the Male: Devimon is a Champion, while she is an Ultimate.
- Ms. Fanservice: Comes with the territory of being an evil Angewomon in a skintight leather outfit.
- Multi-Directional Barrage: At the beginning of the battle, Angewomon, Angemon, Kabuterimon, and Birdramon all simultaneously swarm her, only for LadyDevimon to knock all of them back simultaneously with her Darkness Wave, which unleashes a screeching horde of ravenous, demonic bats alight with unholy flames to engulf her foes.LadyDevimon: (laughing) "You just made my job a lot easier."
- No-Sell: Able to effortlessly swat aside Andromon, Birdramon, and Kabuterimon's attacks with an elegant flick of her wrist, as well as gracefully sidestep attacks from Angewomon and Angemon.LadyDevimon: "I'm sorry, are we just pretending? Let me know when you're ready."
- Our Demons Are Different: A demonic digimon, who looks like an attractive woman in a vaguely dominatrix-like outfit.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Following the tradition of the Devimon family, she has devilish and malicious red eyes.
- Right Hand of Doom: Left hand actually. A large deformed claw on her left-hand contrasts with a normal-looking body. She can morph it into a spike with her attack Black Wing.
- Round House Kick: LadyDevimon wins the Cat Fight against Angewomon with a brutal one, knocking Angewomon out of the sky and sending her plummeting to the ground. Angewomon hits the ground with such force that it sends up a billowing mushroom cloud of dust and creates an impact crater.LadyDevimon: "Enough of this! This game is over! You're grounded, Goldilocks!"
- Scissors Cuts Rock: LadyDevimon narrowly but consistently overpowers and defeats Angewomon whenever they fight one-on-one, even though Angewomon should enjoy a type advantage over LadyDevimon.
- Spikes of Doom: Black Wing, which transforms her left hand into a spike.
- Stripperific: With all that stitched and zipped outfit, it's not hard to imagine a naughty situation. It's implied that Sora and Hikari weren't too happy with that when they first saw her, at least in the original version.
- White Hair, Black Heart: She is a loyal The Dragon to Piedmon with white skin and hair.
- Wings Do Nothing: They never seem to actually move.
- Witch with a Capital "B": Courtesy of Sora and Kari who don't like her at first sight:"She looks like a witch!"
- You Fight Like a Cow: She taunts Angewomon throughout their encounters, causing the ordinarily gentle Angewomon to lose her cool and charge recklessly into battle.LadyDevimon: (drop-kicing Angewomon in the back and sending her crashing into a nearby mountain) "Oops, sorry blondie."
LadyDevimon: (spinning Angewomon around by her hair) "Never did like that bleached look!"
LadyDevimon: (roundhouse-kicking Angewomon into the ground to put an end their slapping catfight) "This game is over! You're grounded, goldilocks!"
