D-Reaper

The D-Reaper / The True Enemy

"There is no importance to your lives, no useful purpose. Because of your inherent defects, the D-Reaper has determined that all humans and Digimon are to be deleted immediately."

Once a simple data cleanup program, its purpose is to delete other programs before they get too big. Like other digital beings, it has evolved into a more advanced and powerful state, but its parameters on what constitutes "too advanced" haven't changed, transforming it into an Omnicidal Maniac which attempts to delete everything. After hitching a ride to the human world and assimilating Jeri, it uses that mindset to justify what it's going to do anyways.

---

• 2D Visuals, 3D Effects: The D-Reaper is a three dimensional mass in a two dimensional world. Deliberately invoked for a similar reason to the Mugann of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann: it shows just how alien, how much of an Eldritch Abomination, and how plain wrong this thing is.
• Adaptive Ability: What makes the D-Reaper so dangerous is that it is constantly advancing and adapting. It only becomes more deadly as it grows to understand its opponents. Its adaptation means that no single tactic, no matter how debilitating to it, will work on it for long. Its attacks only become increasingly deadly as it learns what weaknesses it can exploit.
• A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Subverted. It's doing exactly what it was created to do, just on a larger scale than its creators intended. Once it starts analyzing Jeri's emotions as she's at an incredibly unstable period of her life due to Leomon's death, it adopts a Straw Nihilist mentality and in its alien simplicity uses that mental state to justify its objective, but it still doesn't do anything else.
• All Your Powers Combined: The Reaper and Mother D-Reaper forms are basically the unified form of all their Agents.
• Ambiguous Situation: How Juri fell into the D-Reaper's clutches is very vague. While in the midst of her depression Juri starts Consulting Mister Puppet about fate, but after Culumon's Shining Evolution triggers, Juri's dog puppet starts talking on its own about the uselessness of sadness and that useless things should be destroyed like the ADR-01 would later do. The puppet growls at something offscreen and leads Juri away behind some rocks. The tamers belatedly notice Juri is missing and find her clone, the ADR-01. Seriously, what was up with that puppet?
• Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Its assessment of humanity's crimes is that we are "disorderly, illogical, and without respect for boundaries". Unlike most examples of this trope, it's the third point that is emphasized most, which highlights the D-Reaper's Blue-and-Orange Morality.
• The Assimilator: It absorbs things into its mass. The main area is comprised of buildings that've been drawn into the goo, but it also manages to absorb a video camera, which the Paratice Head then grows. Dolphin speculates that it had managed to absorb the ability to digivolve after going through so many Digimon.
• Big Bad: Of the final arc, and of the entire series due to being at the heart of the conflict between the Digital and human worlds.
• Blob Monster: The quantum bubble its AI core lives in looks like one from the outside. It also acts like one, being able to dissolve things it touches or pull them inside the Eldritch Location it contains.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: While it's initially the case that the D-Reaper is solely motivated by its programming to find anything that exceeds its original parameters and erase it, as time goes on it develops a Straw Nihilist mentality to justify such action on top of its programming. Apparently, Humanity Is Infectious — the Straw Nihilist part probably comes from D-Reaper analyzing Jeri at her lowest point and coming to the conclusion that humanity itself is no different from her.
• Break Them by Talking: Aside from the D-Reaper's inherent physically destructive nature, once it learns to communicate through reproducing Jeri's voice, this becomes a favored self-defense tactic specifically against anyone related to Jeri. The D-Reaper uses cold, methodical rationality to explain why humanity deserves to be wiped out, and often manages to pinpoint emotional weaknesses to mess with Takato, Beelzemon or Jeri herself psychologically. One of the most stark instances is when it repeats a Broken Record speech about Beelzemon destroying Jeri's partner Leomon, with the usage of Jeri's voice further intensifying Beelzemon's feelings of guilt.
• The Cameo: Makes up most of the Chaos Wasteland stage in Digimon Rumble Arena 2.
• Conditional Powers: As horrifying as the D-Reaper's capability of psychological warfare is, it can't do that against anyone who doesn't directly have anything to do with Jeri because she's the only person it has access to the memory bank of, forcing it to deploy brute force agents against them instead. This doesn't seem much because it can effortlessly knock down Megas anyways, but it allows a Shaggai-loaded SaintGalgomon to destroy the D-Reaper from the inside while it can't do much to intervene.
• Cool Mask: The Mother D-Reaper wears a weird mask said to resemble that of Neon Genesis Evangelion's Lilith.
• Diabolus ex Nihilo: The D-Reaper is never even hinted at until Azulongmon explains what's going on. This only enhances how alien it is. The story provides a background afterwards.
• Digital Abomination: One of the most unusual entities in the franchise. Unlike the other antagonists, it is explicitly not a form of "natural" digital life, but the result of a simple program that existed since the very beginning of the Digital World that slowly evolved into an impossible creature motivated to consume all reality by a terrible mix of outdated programming and truly alien logic. Meeting us puny humans makes it worse or at least a good deal crazier as it learns to be creative with its tactics instead of simply absorbing everything in its path.
• Dissonant Serenity: When it's not spewing Broken Record speeches, it's going on insane, nihilistic ramblings with a crooning synithized voice it sampled from Jeri.
• The Dog Was the Mastermind: The mastermind of everything that happened in Tamers turns out to be nothing other than a wiper program initially no smarter than a calculator.
• Dual Boss: The climax fight against the Reaper is consisted of two enemy units — the Mother Reaper and the Cable Reaper. The Mother Reaper does summon Horn Strikers and an ADR-01 against Gallantmon: Crimson Mode though.
• Eldritch Location: Grows big enough to the point where it develops its own environment, which warps the laws of physics.
• Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: Naturally, this program breaks the rules by having an unknown type that has an advantage over all others. This advantage is lost when the Tamers use the especially designed red card (converting them to the same type) which gives them a fighting chance against the agents as well as nullifying the negative effects inside the D-Reaper's quantum bubble.
• Evil Counterpart: It is essentially this to the Digimon. It seeks to absorb them and kill them, evolving and becoming much stronger and intelligent as a result, much like Digimon load their prey in order to evolve. Its link with Jeri is something of a corrupted version of Matrix Evolution.
• Evil Is Burning Hot: It gives off tremendous amounts of heat as it expands. It planned to increase this heat enough to effectively burn away all of humanity as a final plan to destroy the human world.
• Final Boss, New Dimension: The final battle with the Mother D-Reaper takes place within the D-Reaper's zone.
• From Nobody to Nightmare: As programs go. Its original self was no more complicated than a calculator.
• Genius Loci: Everything consumed by the Chaos becomes part of the D-Reaper's zone of influence and is subject to its warping of physics.
• Good Hurts Evil: The D-Reaper only understands emotions through its link to Jeri. Since it's kept her in the state of trauma-induced despair it found her in, it cannot understand positive emotions. This makes MarineAngemon's love-based powers incomprehensibly alien to it. This means it has no defense against them whatsoever. MarineAngemon's bubbles can disperse D-Reaper substance, protect inhabitants from any of the D-Reaper's deadly effects, and even intimidate some of the strongest Agents into retreating.
• Gone Horribly Right: D-Reaper only does exactly what it's programmed to do: delete anything that exceeds its designated parameters. Unfortunately, the programmers forgot to account for the fact that technology marches on. So, while everything else about it has evolved, its parameters haven't changed from when they were set in the 80's, when RAM was barely a fraction as strong as present day. In raw data terms, the real world is infinitely more complex, so once it escapes to the real world, it sees an entire world that exceeds its parameters by orders of magnitude and simply must be destroyed.
• Greater-Scope Villain: It originally served this role since no one in the human world even knew of its existence or that it was the cause of all the conflict with the Devas and why Calumon is in the human world before the final arc.
• Grew Beyond Their Programming: Zigzagged. As it turns out, the D-Reaper is still carrying out its original function from decades ago (ironically, to delete things that Grew Beyond Their Programming), but thanks to the same evolutionary phenomenon that brought forth the Digimon, its capacity to carry out that function has made exponential leaps and bounds and turned it into a world-wiping Eldritch Abomination capable of learning emotions and adaptive intelligence, neither which is something that it's supposed to have. Despite using a very depressed Jeri as its power source and interacting with biological data that appears to have accidentally initiated a paradigm shift in the D-Reaper and given it a will of its own, in the end, it's just using her to justify what it is designed to do, showing that the D-Reaper simply adapted to use psychological warfare as self-defense/sustenance, and it ultimately never goes beyond doing what it's supposed to do.
• The Heartless: It feeds off the memories and misery of its human host, Jeri, in a corrupted version of a Biomerge. This lets it create its legions of nightmarish agents rather than merely passively absorb the environment into its substance.
• Hitler Ate Sugar: Its whole rationale for justifying wiping out humanity boils down to Jeri is depressed and unstable, so every human being is depressed and unstable and thus must be eradicated.
• Home Field Advantage: The inside of the quantum bubble in its central mass is extremely hostile to anything that can survive entry. Not only is the D-Reaper able to summon Agents without restriction there, but just being in the area slowly corrodes the data of anything that enters. Not even the Tamers' Biomerge Mega forms can last more than a few minutes in there without protection. The Tamers were only able to survive fighting the final battle inside the D-Reaper's quantum bubble by using a specially created Red Card to modify their Digimon's attributes to match the D-Reaper's own.
• Hope Crusher: It draws its power from Jeri's despair and suffering, and goes out of its way to push these feelings to the hilt by Mind Rapeing her over and over again. It extends this attitude to anyone who had a history with Jeri, too: it delivers a blistering Breaking Speech to Beelzemon reminding him of his crimes in an attempt to break his spirit. To Beelzemon's credit, it just pisses him off rather than fully disheartening him.
• Hopeless War: It engages both the Digital and physical worlds in one of these. The inhabitants of both worlds know that fighting conventionally only delays its inevitable victory, but have no choice but to continue struggling and hope that they can buy enough time for a miracle.
• Humanity Is Infectious: A horrifyingly negative case. Analyzing Jeri's darker emotions in a time of mental turmoil caused the alien-minded D-Reaper to develop a Straw Nihilist mentality, leading to it thinking that all of humanity shares this despair and is deserving of death for it. Worse, Jeri's mental state gave it the ability to think creatively, letting it make its legions of nightmarish Agents to amplify its threat and understand humanity enough to use psychological warfare.
• Irony: The D-Reaper displays some emotions like obvious sadism, but never goes beyond its designed purpose as a wiper and never seems to utilize its psychological warfare capabilities against anyone who isn't directly and emotionally invested in Jeri.
• The Juggernaut: Even after seven anime series, it is still likely the most powerful being ever to appear in the anime (and, if not for Yggdrasil and The Mother Eater, the entire franchise). The combined forces of the entire surviving Digital World, the Bio-Merged Tamers, the human world's militaries, and the humans who created it in the first place barely slow it down. It took Shaggai (Juggernaut in English) reverting the D-Reaper back to a weaker state by warping time itself to defeat it. In other words, the D-Reaper is still alive after the final battle. Though whether or not it could return to its previous state is unclear.
• Knight of Cerebus: Even more than Beelzemon. When it shows up, the series becomes a war story.
• Machine Monotone: It speaks in Jeri's voice, but in a cold, emotionless monotone like you would expect from an A.I.
• Mighty Glacier: The D-Reaper's red goo. It slowly covers the whole landscape, but it can't be destroyed or pushed back by force.
• Mind Rape: What the thing does to Jeri to get more power in a corrupted version of a Biomerge.
• Mother of a Thousand Young: Once it enters the real world, it starts spawning hundreds of Agents from itself to aid in its conquest. The Mother form may be a Shout-Out to the trope namer, Shub-Niggurath.
• Near-Villain Victory: Thanks to its Adaptive Ability and strategic thinking, the D-Reaper and its army were dangerously close to achieving a devastating victory against the Bio-Merged Tamers and by extension, the rest of the world. However, a Shaggai-loaded SaintGalgomon foiled its plans by reversing the flow of time within its dimension before it could kill Gallantmon and Calumon to retrieve Jeri.
• Non-Standard Character Design: Invoked by Chiaki J. Konaka, the head writer for a show. He had Kenji Watanabe (the originator of Digimon), Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru (the human character designer), and Shinji Aramaki (the CGI designer) have a competition with each other while designing this thing for the express purpose of getting this. And it worked; there's certainly never been anything like this in the Digimon franchise before or after it.
• Omnicidal Maniac: Digimon, humans, doesn't matter. Whatever has "evolved pass its parameters" is a target, and given it was designed on a computer in the 1980s that means just about everything.
• Powered by a Forsaken Child: Literally, as Jeri serves as its unwilling battery.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: While the original Japanese version implies it was killed in the Tamers' last assault, the American dub changes it so that the D-Reaper is merely sealed in another dimension, in its earliest, primitive form as the Monster Makers couldn't figure out how to destroy it.
• Spared by the Adaptation: The American dub changes it so that the D-Reaper is merely sealed in another dimension in its earliest, primitive form.
• The End of the World as We Know It: By the time of the final battle, it had deleted most of the Digital World and was about to enact its final plan to sterilize Earth of life.
• Third-Person Person. D-Reaper refers to itself as this.
• Villainous Breakdown: Mother D-Reaper extends its tendrils to kill Gallantmon: Crimson Mode and then retrieve Jeri from inside Calumon's bubble. However, it's paralyzed at the last second by a Shaggai-loaded SaintGalgomon reversing the flow of time within its dimension, after which the creature is dragged screaming into a wormhole leading to the Digital World.
• Weaksauce Weakness:
  • The D-Reaper is vulnerable to things it can't understand. At first, it's unable to assimilate biological structures like plants and trees because it doesn't understand such things. Once it completes its analysis of its captured plant life, it starts assimilating its surroundings even faster.
  • Because the D-Reaper can only comprehend emotions through the mind of a traumatized child, it can't process or defend against positive emotions. Since MarineAngemon's power is positivity in data form, they're anathema to the D-Reaper's individual agents despite him being far weaker than the other Mega Digimon on his team. The powerful ADR-01 once fled in terror for its life when faced with a bunch of tiny heart-shaped bubbles a smiling slug sent gently floating towards it, and the bubbles he creates allow safe departure from the D-Reaper's zone. As a bonus, MarineAngemon's owner Kenta isn't directly involved in Jeri's personal life, so it can't wage psychological warfare on him either and had to bruteforce through him.

Agents of the D-Reaper

Individual elements of the D-Reaper, created for a specific purpose. None of them have an identity or consciousness, as all of them are extensions of the singular will of the program.

---

• Achilles' Power Cord: To defeat the Agents, one needs to cut the cord that connects them to the D-Reaper.
• Anti-Air: Pendulum Feet is designed to combat aerial foes with its high speed, unusual movements, and explosive armaments. Its blades ensure that it can strike down other flyers that get too close to use its explosives.
• Bedsheet Ghost: The Pendulum Feet resemble this.
• Broken Record: The first Palates Head incessantly spouts off quasi-gibberish that the D-Reaper has harvested from Jeri's thoughts and memories, which becomes an accidental Breaking Speech towards her father (It kept repeating the word "fate" in the original script). The Gatekeeper does this with Beelzemon when he tries to save Jeri, again repeating the exact same sentence that relentlessly hammers his guilt for killing Leomon. ADR-01 also does the same thing against Takato, though this is no longer the case when it's torturing Jeri.
• The Brute: Horn Striker and Creep Hands serve as purely melee units.
• Close-Range Combatant: Creep Hands, who have large, stretchable arms. They have no ranged attacks, and are built for grappling.
• Confusion Fu: The Palates Head's card game descriptions indicate that its attacks are unpredictable. In the anime, it has dozens of prehensile cables both hidden and exposed that can be used as a particularly chaotic mass of Combat Tentacles.
• Conservation of Ninjutsu: Some Agents are introduced as being able to give any of the Tamers' Mega forms a hard time one-on-one. When they appear in large numbers later, they're effortlessly splattered by the exact same forms in single attacks.
• David Versus Goliath: The ADR-07, Palates Head, weighing in at a solid sixty feet at least, positively towers over the megas Dukemon, Sakuyamon, and Justimon. Its huge size is plenty threatening on its own, but it still doesn't come to close to SaintGalgomon; luckily for the ADR-07, Jian and Terriermon were stuck helping the Wild Bunch at the time.
• Eldritch Abomination: All of them, in particular the Palates Head, Optimizer, Reaper, and Mother D-Reaper taking the lead.
• Evil Is Bigger: Nearly every new species of Agent is larger than the previous, culminating in the enormous Reaper and Mother D-Reaper forms.
• Guardian Entity: ADR-09, or Gatekeeper, was created merely to protect the D-Reaper's core. It can perform psychological warfare against Beelzemon just like the ADR-01 agent did against Takato.
• Hive Mind: All Agents are just extensions of the D-Reaper's consciousness. Those cables connect them to the rest of the D-Reaper's central mass to provide energy and direction. When they're cut, the Agent effectively shuts down as it no longer has direction.
• I'm Melting!: Upon defeat, they dissolve into goo, which quickly evaporates.
• The Mothership: Optimizers are large aerial unites who can fire energy blasts, and carry a lot of Bubbles. The Mother Reaper itself is the final unit to be defeated and fights Gallantmon with several Horn Strikers and an ADR-01.
• Mouth of Sauron: Later versions of the Paratice Head move beyond repeating Jeri's thoughts, and into spouting off the D-Reaper's nihilistic rambling.
• Pulling Themselves Together: The final Reaper Agent is bisected vertically by Justimon, but reforms itself seconds afterwards with no lasting damage.
• Reporting Names: The various aliases given to the Agents. Officially they're all ADR-01, ADR-02, ADR-03, etc.
• Sinister Scythe: The Pendulum Feet are armed with one. The Cable Reaper also has numerous giant ones on its cables.
• Sinister Surveillance:
  • Searchers, little bird-things whose job is to gather intelligence. They're always in large flocks, and have eye-symbols on their wings.
  • The Palates Head is an described in supplementary materials as "armed reconnaissance"; in the anime, it produces a working video camera and shoves it in the face of Juri's father to analyze him.
• Spell My Name With An S: For years, the alias of ADR-07 was considered to be "Paratice Head", which doesn't mean anything in particular and was transliterated from paratisu heddo. Recently it's been learned that its name is "Palates Head", in which "palate" is the roof bone of the mouth (of which the Palates Head has many). (This misconception appears to arise from the creators not realizing the e in "palate" was silent).
• Stone Wall: The Mother D-Reaper is way tankier and larger than other agents and no single attack lays a scrape on it. The only way to kill it is the Shaggai loaded within SaintGalgomon.
• Too Many Mouths: Palates Head, which has a head consisting entirely of mouths, plus some on the body and palms.
• Villainous Breakdown: After the Sovereign create a wormhole to the Digital World from underneath the Cable Reaper, it roars in anger as they push it down to buy the exhausted Tamers more time to come up with a solution to defeat Mother D-Reaper.
• Who Needs Their Whole Body?: The Horn Striker gets cut in half from the waist down, but still keeps attacking. It only dies when Justimon cuts its power cord.
• Zerg Rush: Bubbles; rather weak and easily beatable, they always attack in large groups.

ADR- 01

^{Click here to see}  its Jeri disguise.

The first encountered Agent, created to spy on humanity. It was used to wage psychological warfare on Takato and several others and seemingly gains Sadist tendencies.

---

• Big "NO!": In the Japanese version, it screams "iya" at the top of its lungs after Gallantmon Crimson Mode breaks out of Mother D-Reaper's body and punches it in the gut.
• Broken Record: Initially it just parrots things it extracted from Jeri's memory bank or repeats the D-Reaper's destructive philosophy. It develops its own dialogue near the end.
• Break Them by Talking: It almost does this to Takato with its Broken Record speech once it reveals itself to him.
• The Cameo: Appears in the background of the Chaos Wasteland stage in Digimon Rumble Arena 2.
• Capture and Replicate: At some point before the Tamers make their departure from the Digital World, The D-Reaper switches Jeri's place with the ADR-01 Agent disguised as her.
• Creepy Child: Even when trying to act like Jeri, it doesn't even try to act like Jeri, but some abomination who just learnt how to act like it had emotions.
• Creepy Monotone: Its default tone of voice is a soothing, synthesized female voice while delivering Hannibal Lectures against Takato or Juri.
• Deep Cover Agent: It manages to get into the real world and gather enough psychological intel by disguising itself as Jeri. It manages to slip under the Tamers' radar only because the real Jeri was having a breakdown. Any abnormal behavior the Agent displays could just be chalked up to Jeri's trauma influencing it.
• The Dragon: It's a unique Agent of the D-Reaper created to infiltrate the real world with the Tamers. While it's not the most powerful of the D-Reaper's agents and it's still not an individual, it acts as the last line of defense for the D-Reaper's Kernel Sphere, able to take on Gallantmon Crimson Mode in single combat.
• Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Aside from its blank, dead-eyes, the other immediate visual indicator that it isn't Jeri is its pale skin, which looks almost grayish in some scenes.
• Evil Redhead: Its hair in its true form is red, and it's a dangerous D-Reaper agent that acts as its mouthpiece and one of its major combat units.
• Good Hurts Evil: Because it literally knows nothing but Jeri's depression, it gets chased off by MarineAngemon, as his attacks are capable of repelling it.
• Grew Beyond Their Programming: Zigzagged alongside the rest of the D-Reaper Agents. It seemingly gains sadism and is capable of saying things other than Broken Record speeches before the Mother Reaper absorbs it, but it doesn't do anything other than attempting psychological warfare against intruders like a machine would.
• Growing Wings: When it exposes itself in front of Takato, it grows wings, then assumes its true form.
• Hellish Pupils: In its true form it has vertical slits for pupils. It eventually trades this for an Eyeless Face.
• Hannibal Lecture: It takes every opportunity to give speeches on just how worthless, destructive, and violent humanity and Digimon are to justify their extermination. Said speeches are either the D-Reaper repeating its philosophy word-by-word, or repeating things Jeri said before.
• Hugh Mann: The D-Reaper doesn't do a good job at impersonating Jeri. Even when disguised, she still has pale skin and creepy, dull eyes, and its behavior can hardly even pass off as a human's. How anyone manages to get fooled by that thing is anyone's guess.
• Humanoid Abomination: It looks just like a human girl and could pass off as a thing trying to act like a human being, but never goes beyond either repeating dialogue it extracted from Jeri's memories or the D-Reaper Straw Nihilist philosphy. It becomes progressively more monstrous as it advances, but retains the basic shape of a human woman.
• Manipulative Bastard: Manipulates Takato by impersonating Jeri and attempting to break him with the D-Reaper's Straw Nihilist philosophy.
• Mouth of Sauron: It's not the only talking Agent, but it is the primary mouthpiece of the D-Reaper.
• One-Winged Angel: After revealing to Takato that she's not the real Jeri, ADR-01 shatters its disguise and changes into a much more monstrous form. It does another transformation when it is empowered by the Mother D-Reaper giving it Mega equivalent power, including a breath weapon, to fight against Gallantmon.
• Paper-Thin Disguise: To the audiences, the ADR-01's Jeri disguise is impossible to fall for. On top of having Reflectionless Useless Eyes, abnormally pale skin and a jarringly creepy default expression, it makes no attempt trying to act like Jeri. Doesn't stop Takato or Jeri's family from being fooled, though.
• Patrick Stewart Speech: Inverted. It just won't shut up about how useless and destructive humans and their emotions supposedly are, so it eventually gets an earful from Gallantmon while he shuts it up for good.
• Psychotic Smirk: While giving Takato a Breaking Speech disguised as Jeri, it increasingly alternates between a blank, dead-eyed stare and a blank, dead-eyed smile. Then it loses the disguise and keeps on grinning. It gives an especially creepy smile right before and after terrorizing Jeri's younger brother.
• Sadist: It seemingly takes great pleasure in psychologically tormenting Jeri by telling her that she should drown in her depression more to grant the D-Reaper more power. Unlike anything else the D-Reaper said, this is not a Broken Record speech, but it somehow learnt how to break down targets to make them more susceptible.
• Straw Nihilist: Emphasized in the dub in which ADR-01 is portrayed with a more mean spirited personality. It's implied this mindset came from the D-Reaper assimilating Jeri's negative thoughts and traumas.
• The Un-Smile: While disguised as Jeri, her initial expression is something that could be mistaken for a smile, but it's actually its default expression. It goes worse when it exposes itself.
• Villainous Breakdown: When Gallantmon: Crimson Mode punches it in the stomach after resisting assimilation into Mother D-Reaper, ADR-01 screams in impotent rage as it shuts down. In the Japanese version, it screams out a Big "NO!".
• Voice of the Legion: It gets more and more noticeable until it drops off its disguise.
• Walking Spoiler: Knowing too much about this agent will possibly ruin the dramatic reveal for first time viewers about Jeri being the D-Reaper's power source.
• Walking Wasteland: Once it reveals itself to Takato, the surrounding trees and fallen leaves begin to wither and die rapidly. This effect is caused by the D-Reaper finally discovering how to analyze organic matter and the ADR-01 is not an individual.

Antagonist Digimon

Gorillamon

A Digimon that Henry encountered in a videogame prior to realize that Digimon were actual beings. After Terriermon became his partner, Gorillamon would find its way to the human world for revenge.

---

• Killer Gorilla: A digital gorilla with an Arm Cannon... and a grudge.
• Revenge: His entire motivation was to take revenge on Henry and Terriermon for defeating him.
• Revenge Before Reason: He's so obsessed with his loss to Terriermon in the Digital World that he traverses realities just to settle the score. Henry and Terriermon try to reason with him, deliberately avoiding using lethal force in their fight, but he refuses to let it go. Ultimately, Terriermon is forced to kill Gorillamon to stop his attacks.
• Small Role, Big Impact: He indirectly caused Henry and Terriermon to become partners. The injuries Terriermon took in their battles in the Digital World were what made Henry empathize with Terriermon strongly enough to forge a bond that called the Blue Card, letting him summon Terriermon to the real world.
• Starter Villain: As previous Digimon who appeared in the human world were more like wild animals, Gorillamon was the first character to arrive from the Digital World with more antagonistic motivations.
• The Voiceless: Despite having enough intelligence to nurse a long grudge and enter the human world, Gorillamon never says a word.

IceDevimon

"The way you treat people, how you think. You're cold as ice, you have no time for warm weak relationships. You always expect perfection from yourself and others. You demand it. I am the only one who understands you, Rika. That is why we're destined to become partners."

A memorable Monster of the Week, IceDevimon appeared in the episode "The Icemon Cometh". Taking his trophy collection with him to the real world, he created an icy lair at the top of a skyscraper, and began stalking Rika, believing she was as power hungry and bloodthirsty as he was. Eventually abducting her and taking her to his hideout, IceDevimon tried to convince Rika that she should be his tamer, claiming they belonged together, as both were ruthless and wanted to be the best. When Renamon arrived and Digivolved to Kyubimon to try and save Rika, IceDevimon thrashed her, but before he could destroy her and continue trying to recruit Rika, he was obliterated by Guilmon.

---

• Ax-Crazy: He freezes Digimon solid for entertainment.

• Blood Knight: He wants to take Renamon's place as Rika's partner so that he can become more powerful.

• Card-Carrying Villain: "Better a powerful monster, than a weak nobody."
• Chest Insignia: Like Devimon, he bears the Mark of Evil on his chest.

• Creepy Souvenir: Blocks of ice containing dead and terrified Digimon.
  "I want to show you something. To prove I'm worthy to be your partner, I've set up a little show and tell. So you can see my power for yourself. For years, I have hunted hundreds of Digimon and absorbed their data. They were friends to some, maybe even partners. But as you once said, they are merely stepping stones."
• Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: It may not be obvious to viewers who aren't familiar with data attributes, but this is played perfectly straight. Kyuubimon doesn't even scratch IceDevimon in their fight, even though she is on the same level as him and uses fire attacks. This is because she is of the Data attribute, which is weak to and resisted by Virus Digimon like IceDevimon, giving her a clear disadvantage. Guilmon, on the other hand, is also a Virus Digimon, meaning that he is on more even footing with IceDevimon. His Pyro Sphere was enough of an edge to make up for the level gap so he could finish the job.
• Evil Is Deathly Cold: He is an icy version of Devimon.

• Evil Plan: He wants to recruit Rika as his tamer, by force if necessary.

• Good Wings, Evil Wings: He has a pair of batlike wings.
• Harmless Freezing: His ice attacks. Played somewhat straight. In the original Japanese, it's made clear that being frozen for a long time is an excruciating death. If a Digimon is unfrozen quickly however, they'll be hunky-dory as usual.

• An Ice Person: The thing that sets him apart from the digimon he's a Palette Swap of is he has ice powers.
• In Love with Your Carnage: He singles out Rika for her ruthless approach to battle and absorbing opponents.

• Kill It with Fire: Was blown apart by Guilmon's Pyro Sphere.
• Knight of Cerebus: Hypnos had yet to really do anything and earlier wild Digimon merely came off as rampaging beasts, so a digimon Serial Killer serves to start tilting the story towards darker plotlines.

• "Not So Different" Remark: He claims that Rika's dedication to becoming stronger, even at the expense of the lives of others, makes her a perfect match for him as a Tamer. Rika, seeing an uncomfortable amount of truth in his words, is so unnerved that she briefly quits being a Tamer entirely after her encounter with him.
• No Ontological Inertia: When he was destroyed, his frozen lair and the Digimon bodies within disappeared.

• Serial Killer: He shows off a lair filled with the frozen remains of his victims. This in turn serves to highlight his bloodlust as it either means he killed them and didn't load them, something the Devas make clear is a grave insult, or he did and is keeping their bodies frozen to keep them from dissipating just to preserve them as trophies of all the murders he's committed.

• Small Role, Big Impact: Despite appearing in only one episode, IceDevimon played a big role in the development of Rika and Renamon's relationship and marked change in Rika's attitude towards Digimon as a whole.

• Soft-Spoken Sadist: He fondly speaks of his torturous killing sprees with hardly any change in demeanor.
• Stalker with a Crush: He hunts and kidnaps Rika to try to convince her to become his Tamer. His propositions deliberately have an unnerving almost-romantic tone to them.

• The Worf Effect: He defeated Renamon in both her Rookie and Champion forms without taking a scratch himself.
• You're Cute When You're Angry: Played to creepy effect to make him even more unsettling.

  IceDevimon: Ah, you have no idea how exquisite you are when you're angry.

Twelve Ultimate-level Digimon based on the twelve heavenly generals of Eastern mythology, and on the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac. They serve the Sovereign Zhuquiaomon and try to invade the real world. Later the surviving Deva focus on capturing Culumon and manipulating Impmon instead.

The Twelve Devas are, in order of appearance:

Mihiramon (tiger), Sandiramon (snake), Sinduramon (rooster), Pajiramon (sheep), Vajramon (ox), Indramon (horse), Kumbhiramon (rat), Vikaralamon (pig), Makuramon (monkey), Majiramon (dragon), Caturamon (dog) and Antylamon (rabbit).

---

• Adaptational Villainy: In terms of the franchise's lore, only some of the Devas are jerks (namely those under Zhuqiaomon); the majority are neutral at worst and chivalrous at best. In Tamers, all of the Devas are antagonistic, and all of them are working for Zhuqiaomon. The only one who isn't an antagonist is Antylamon, who pulls a Heel–Face Turn at the first opportunity. This is discussed In-Universe by Henry's sensei; the Devas in Hinduism are holy beings that fight the power-seeking Asuras, but those that followed the Asuras saw the Devas as the evil ones instead. This is the case here; while the Devas believe they're doing good by following their god and fighting for the Digital World's survival, they're going about it entirely the wrong way, putting them at odds with the protagonists.
• Animal Jingoism:
  • Of a sort - the Devas hate Tamer Digimon.
  • Makuramon and Caturamon are a little antagonistic with each other, competing over who gets to capture Calumon. They are the Monkey and Dog Devas; in Asian culture, monkeys and dogs famously hate each other.
  • There's also Khumbiramon, a rat, being defeated by Leomon, which is a large cat.
• Animal Motifs: The twelve heavenly generals are lined up with the twelve signs of the Chinese Zodiac.
• Berserk Button: Indramon flips out when Impmon insults his boss and begins pummelling him mercilessly.
• Beware the Silly Ones: The dub makes repeated jokes about Vikaralamon being a 'big pig', but it's pretty obvious that the 'big pig' is a serious threat.
• Blood Knight: Vajramon seems to enjoy fighting Renamon.
• Bullying a Dragon: Makuramon, an Ultimate, taunts Beelzemon, a Mega, in the middle of a battle that could destroy the Digital World. Unfortunately for Makuramon, Beelzemon does retaliate.
• Canis Major: Caturamon is the Dog Deva, and fairly large.
• The Corrupter: Caturamon tempted Impmon to make a deal with Zhuqiaomon, which is what resulted in him turning into Beelzemon, killing Leomon and traumatizing Jeri.
• Dirty Coward: Makuramon flees when things turn dicey.
• Disc-One Final Boss: Vikalaramon is the final adversary in the first major Tamers arc and requires the combined efforts of all 3 Ultimate Digimon to take down. He might be more a climax boss as there still four devas left after his defeat.
• Evil Is Hammy: Sinduramon's dub voice certainly counts, what with it sounding like a Badass Preacher going on about "the great and mighty chicken of vengeance that shall rule ALL of us!"
• Exorcist Head: Makuramon can do this in his human disguise, terrifying both Jeri and Calumon when they see it.
• Full-Boar Action: Vikaralamon is a kaiju-sized boar.
• Giant Flyer: Sinduramon, once he powers up.
• Interspecies Romance: Because of all the flirting that goes on during the battle, Vajramon appears to be enamoured by Renamon during their first encounter. He later singles her out to persuade her to join him. Renamon, however, is only pretending to be interested so that she can extract information about him.
• Killer Rabbit: Kumbhiramon looks pathetic, but he can give Leomon a hard time (at least at first).
• Light Is Not Good: A fourth of them (Kumbhiramon, Vajramon and Vikaralamon) are Vaccine types, a type usually associated with heroes. They're still the bad guys. The only one who turns to the side of the protagonists is the Data Antylamon, Data usually being associated with neutrality.
• Maniac Monkeys: Makuramon does some weird things even before his reveal.
• Manipulative Bastard: Caturamon manipulated Impmon into forging a Bargain with Heaven with Zhuqiaomon, something that latter was on board with. It's unclear if he did it on his own volition and Zhuqiaomon just enabled it, or Zhuqiaomon ordered the whole thing.
• Messy Pig: Vikaralamon is the Pig Deva, and easily the most destructive of the nine Devas who bio-emerge, causing massive amounts of damage during his rampage.
• Mix-and-Match Critters: Kumbhiramon is the Rat Deva, but as Jeri notes he's got legs like a spider's rather than a rat.
• No Celebrities Were Harmed: In the English dub, Pajiramon's voice is a parody of Kate Mulgrew, while Makuramon is a parody of Roddy Mc Dowell.
• Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: Even though almost all the Devas held a disgust for humans, over the course of series Henry has a few conversations with his sensei concerning if the Devas are evil or not. His sensei mentions from legends that they only serve their God and fight for what they believe is right. In the end, they conclude that this was right and the Devas only fought to protect the Digital World. Within the Digital world they were unheard of by the inhabitants and the heroes were often surprised they didn't hold some kind of jurisdiction.
• Our Centaurs Are Different: Pajiramon, Vajramon and Majiramon have two arms and four legs each.
  • Inverted with Indramon. Despite centaurs being half-human half-horse, he is simply a humanoid horse, with two legs instead of four.
• Panthera Awesome: Mihiramon is the Tiger Deva.
• Paper-Thin Disguise: Makuramon disguises himself as a human for a while, but his disguise is really bad. Even without his bizarre antics (creepy staring, creepy laughter, running away while laughing creepily), it doesn't look remotely convincing, with no nose, tiny dots for eyes and undeveloped ears.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Fittingly, Khumbiramon, the rat deva, is the smallest of the bunch, but still quite powerful.
• Physical God: The resemblence between the Digimon deva, the animals of the Zodiac, and the conflicting interpretations of deva and asura in Hinduism and Zoroastrianism are brought up by Henry and his father.
• Renegade Splinter Faction: The Tamers reasoned that if the Devas were serving one Digimon Sovereign, then all four of them may be hostile. However, Zhuqiaomon is acting on his own, and deploying the Devas without the consent of the other Sovereigns.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Eleven of them have deep red eyes, Makuramon being the exception.
• Rodents of Unusual Size: Kumbhiramon is the Rat Deva (though still quite small).
• Sadly Mythtaken: There is, in fact, a tradition associating the Twelve Heavenly Generals of Buddhism with the animals of the Chinese Zodiac. These Digimon, however, have mismatched the names and animals. Vajra, for example, in mythology is associated with the dog.
• Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism: They range from souped-up animals (Mihiramon, Majiramon) to strongly humanoid beasts (Vajramon, Indramon).
• Sliding Scale of Villain Threat: They zigzag up and down in. Mihiramon, the first to show up, curb-stomps three Champion level Digimon and nearly outright kills Growlmon. Sandiramon, Sinduramon and Kumbahiramon meanwhile are weak enough to be done in by Champion level Digimon, but Vajramon, Pajiramon, Indramon and Vikaralamon all take Ultimate level 'mons to be defeated.
• Smug Snake: Two of them. Sandiramon (a literal snake) tries to break the Tamers' confidence with his last words, and Indramon repeatedly taunts and laughs at Impmon and the Tamers.
  • Though he completely gets the best of the heroes in his formal introduction, Makuramon quickly barrels into this after losing Culumon, leaving the fighting to Majiramon, trying to go after a little girl, and meeting his end after taunting Beelzemon.
• The Spook: The tamers’ Digivices have issues identifying who or what Digimon species most of the Devas even are when they first appear.
• Too Dumb to Live: Makuramon thought it would be a good idea to taunt Beelzemon while he's struggling against Megidramon, despite knowing they're a level apart. He continues this even after getting his head grabbed by the Demon Lord. The result is one dead monkey and more data for Beelzemon.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Caturamon. Though he's not the cause of the doom, he did make things MUCH worse than they could have been. If he hadn't corrupted Impmon, Leomon wouldn't have died. If Leomon hadn't died, Jeri wouldn't have been traumatized and then captured by the D-Reaper, which would have given the Monster Makers more time to come up with a solution that didn't require the Digimon to return to the Digital World.
• The Unfought: Makuramon is the only deva who is not fought directly by the Tamers.
• Vertebrate with Extra Limbs: Pajiramon, Vajramon and Majiramon have six limbs each.
• Wake-Up Call Boss: The Devas are the first Digimon to show that things are getting serious, forcing the Tamers to up their game by working together and unlocking their higher evolutions if they want to have any hope of taking on the challenges ahead.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: They're doing what they think they need to do to ensure the survival of the Digital World. That doesn't stop some members from clearly taking pleasure in their attacks or indulging in unnecessary petty cruelty.
• Your Size May Vary: Vikaralamon's size is very inconsistent: he can seemingly being anything from twenty to sixty feet tall at any given point in his episodes.

Mephistomon (Mephismon)

"Right now, Digimon and V-Pets are causing chaos all over the world. Soon they'll destroy the entire planet, and there's not a thing you can do to stop them!"

An evil Digimon that looks like a demonic humanoid goat, Mephistomon was spawned from remnants of an Apocalymon that had planned on destroying the Earth, and appeared in the film Digimon Tamers: Battle of Adventurers. While being hunted down by an Omnimon, he escaped to the real world, assumed the guise Ryuuji Tamashiro of Okinawan VP Laboratories, and began marketing the V-Pet, which was implanted with a virus that could bring down all electronics, and make it easier for Digimon to reach Earth. He was destroyed (despite managing to Digivolve to Gulfmon) by WarGrowlmon, Rapidmon and Taomon's Trinity Force, and his virus was eliminated by a vaccine hidden in the original V-Pet (which became a Seasermon/Labramon) by its creator.

His Digivolutions are as follows:

• Mega: Gulfmon, a gigantic, mindlessly destructive centaur-like creature with a beam-firing mouth between its legs.
  • Apocalymon, the evil Digimon whose remains he was formed from, its origin and motive for destroying the world are presumably the same as the one from Digimon Adventure.

---

• Beam-O-War: Against Omnimon's Supreme Cannon.
• Beast with a Human Face: He partly transforms back when Growlmon reveals him to be a Digimon, leaving Tamashiro's face on Mephistomon's body.
• Belly Mouth: Gulfmon has a toothy maw set into the chest of his quadrupedal lower half. It even has its own Breath Weapon.
• Body Horror: Going from Tamashiro back to Mephistomon.
• Breath Weapon: Gulfmon's Black Requiem, which is fired from his quadrupedal lower half's Belly Mouth.

• Chest Blaster: He can fire purple energy from his chest and even expand the blast to emit from his entire body. Gulfmon's Belly Mouth is also one of these, set into the chest of its lower half.
• Corrupt Corporate Executive: Invoked. He disguises himself as a human techbro named Tamashiro.

• Death from Above: He was crushed under a floating ship by Growlmon. Too bad that just made him Digivolve into Gulfmon.
• Domain Holder: Mephistomon created a digital pocket dimension with some very odd properties to isolate and finish off the Tamers. The place is still there after his initial defeat, cluing Takato in that the battle isn't over yet. Cue Gulfmon.
• Eldritch Location: His personally created dimension. Instead of air, it's full of some kind of liquid that can be swam in like water while still being breathable and its sky is full of random vehicles than cause massive explosions when they fall.

• Evil Overlooker: Gulfmon is shown doing this on one of the movie's promotional posters, but seems to be looking away due to the positioning of his eyes.

• Everything Is Online: His virus is quite adaptable, spreading throughout the internet to infect any system it encounters. It even infects things like traffic lights and surgical equipment.
• Expy: A combination of Myotismon (same English voice actor, similar personality and Mega) and Diaboromon (fought an Omnimon, battled in a realm outside the Digital World and Earth, tried to bring about the end of the world electronically).

• Final Boss, New Dimension: "It's a Digital World I've created, to destroy you!"

• Generic Doomsday Villain: Why does he want to destroy the Earth? Presumably the same reason as Apocalymon from Digimon Adventure, but that's not even alluded to here.

• Gruesome Goat: Mephistomon is an anthropomorphic goat with omnicidal intentions.

• I Have Your Wife: Through his minions, he tries to get information on the vaccine out of the V-Pet creator by threatening his daughter.

• No Ontological Inertia: Even lampshaded ("Something's not right here. If Mephistomon's gone, why hasn't this world he's created disappeared?")
• Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: Mephistomon is introduced fighting Omnimon, who completely outclasses him, and Mephistomon only survives by escaping into the Real World. While weak compared to Omnimon, Mephistomon is still powerful enough to easily handle the Tamers' Digmon in their Champion forms.
• No-Sell: In either form, none of the attacks by the Tamers' Digmimon in the Champion level forms have any effect on him.

• Offscreen Villain Dark Matter: It's not clear how Mephistomon was able to create such a powerful company or if it just took one over by replacing an existing executive.
• Omnicidal Maniac: His stated intention is to destroy the world, though his virus is more of a threat to civilization and humanity than the world itself.
• One-Winged Angel: Gulfmon is much weirder-looking than Mephistomon and far stronger.
• Our Centaurs Are Different: Gulfmon is a centaur-like demon whose humanoid upper half is vaguely caprine and whose quadrupedal lower half is a winged mass of shaggy fur with a Belly Mouth.
• Our Demons Are Different: Mephistomon is a goat demon that looks like Baphomet in circus attire. Gulfmon is a vaguely goat-like demonic centaur.

• Underwater Base: Subverted. His base is only partly below sea level, with a secret entrance in a cave in a sea cliff. Its main entrance is above ground.
• Voluntary Shapeshifting: He's able to shapeshift into a human and back and stop at any point mid-transformation.
• With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Gulfmon is powerful enough that he doesn't even need to aim his Breath Weapon to take the Tamers' Digimon out of the fight but his intelligence is replaced with an almost animal fury.
• You Fool!: "Fool! You can never defeat me with a pathetic attack like that!"

Parasimon

"Sing all you want, baby! My works almost done! Locomon will run forever! Now, let's get down and have some fun! Come on down!"

Big, creepy purple arachnids with a single bloodshot eye, Parasimon are incredibly weak Megas that can possess other creatures, and unlock their maximum potential. In the film Digimon Tamers: Runaway Locomon, one hijacks a Locomon and appears on Earth, intent on using the brainwashed train to rip open a portal that would allow its innumerable brethren to invade. Despite interference from Hypnos and the tamers, the plan succeeded, and the Parasimon invaded, overwhelming the city and tamers. In the end, it took a desperate Gallantmon becoming Gallantmon Crimson Mode to defeat them, wiping them all out in a single attack, freeing Locomon and closing the portal.

---

• Alien Blood: It has brownish-yellow blood.
• Alien Invasion: The ultimate goal of Parasimon was to bring all his friends in and take over.
• All Webbed Up: They can shoot webbing.
• Assimilation Plot: They plan to cross over to the human world en masse and take over every human or digimon they can get their claws on.
• Big Creepy-Crawlies: Parasimon are giant, vaguely arachnoid creatures the size of a car.
• Big Dumb Body: Locomon's main purpose is to go around in circles and generate a portal for other Parasimon to emerge through.
• Bizarre Alien Biology: Certainly one of the creepier Digimon, with only one eye and a huge, fang-filled mouth located at its rear.
• Bloodier and Gorier: The Parasimon of the second movie are given some of the most brutal and violent deaths of any foe digimon in the whole franchise. Normally, digimon explode into particles upon death, but these guys get reduced to a paste of Alien Blood by the droves.
• Calling Your Attacks: A notable subversion for the franchise. Parasimon do not announce any of their attacks.
• Combat Tentacles: They emerge from below the eye.
• Conservation of Ninjutsu: The first Parasimon is smart enough to stay invisible until exposed, acts through Demonic Possession, takes a hostage to use as a Human Shield, briefly throws down with Dukemon before being stabbed to death, and even then stays alive long enough to carry out his plan. The remaining Parasimon are slaughtered en masse, even by the Champion-level Guardromon, and only gain a brief advantage when their Zerg Rush outpaces the biomerged Megas. Then Gallantmon Crimson Mode flattens them all in one fell swoop.

• Delayed Reaction: One gets hit by MarineAngemon's Kahuna Waves, and merely laughs. It then explodes.
• Eye Scream: When you're an Oculothorax like Parasimon, any major hit to your body is basically this, but special note goes to Gallantmon stabbing the leader directly in the eye with a Royal Saber, something edited out of the English dub. Any of the more obvious eye screams against the invading army were left in, because that was basically the whole final battle.
• Faux Affably Evil: The main Parasimon, who is certainly polite enough despite driving Ruki Brainwashed and Crazy and subjecting Locomon to Possession Burnout as part of his plan to conquer the real world.
• Generic Doomsday Villain: Parasimon wants to conquer the real world. That's exactly as far as his characterization goes.
• Giant Eye of Doom: Parasimon have only one single, bulging eyeball.
• Giant Spider: Parasimon is a giant spider with a single bulging eye and a disturbingly human mouth.
• Giggling Villain: Parasimon are constantly cackling; it appears to be a species trait.
• Invisibility: The first Parasimon remains hidden until he's exposed by Guilmon.
• Large and in Charge: The main Parasimon attached to Locomon is far larger than the others and seems to be the one directing them.
• Lotus-Eater Machine: While Rika is possessed, she's trapped in a fantasy world with her father.
• Made of Plasticine: When the first wave of the invading Parasimon lands, Dukemon and Sakuyamon meet them on the ground and quickly start reducing them to goo.
• Madness Mantra: The characters under the original Parasimon's control are terse and usually only say one or two things related to their desire. Locomon is still capable of Calling Your Attacks and announcing his evolution.
  Rika: I want to sing!
  Locomon: I gotta run, I gotta keep on running!
• The Man Behind the Man: The one controlling Locomon.
• Mind-Control Eyes: Rika's become dull when under Parasimon's control. Locomon has glowing Red Eyes, Take Warning.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The swarm was presumably created when the Sovereigns had Culumon use Shining Digivolution to turn all Digimon into Megas.
• One-Hit-Point Wonder: Every Parasimon summoned from the vortex dies from the first serious hit to their main body. Averted with the first; Dukemon has to hack his way through his enemy's Combat Tentacles, carve him to pieces, stab him in the eye, and even then his foe lasts long enough to do what he needs to.
• Paper Tiger: Parasimon are potentially deadly threats if they can find the right hosts, but are laughably weak on their own. Thanks to the Conservation of Ninjutsu, these Mega-level digimon are quickly dispatched even by the Champion-level Guardromon's missiles.
• Powers via Possession: The victims they latch onto gain enhanced strength and stamina. In the case of Digimon, they can even force a host to evolve further.
• Possession Burnout: The first Parasimon boasts when he dies that Locomon will run forever, which certainly implies that Parasimon can induce some kind of permanent damage through long term possession, but nothing of Locomon's original personality is known, so neither are the possession's full effects.
• Post-Final Boss: Appears in the second movie, which takes place six months after the series.

• Puppeteer Parasite: Parasimon are a species of these, each the approximate size and weight of a truck.
• Squishy Wizard: Parasimon are extremely dangerous if they can get a host, but they have almost no fighting abilities otherwise despite being Mega-level. Even a human is capable of killing one with a just a wrench, something that would be unlikely to do more than annoy Digimon of lower levels than them.

• Super Spit: Their webbing is shot from the mouth.
• Surprisingly Creepy Moment: The second movie is mostly a light-hearted romp about the Tamers all tripping over each other on their way to send Locomon back home until—surprise—the Big Bad turns out to be a huge Gonk Oculothorax from a species of Big Creepy-Crawlies that repeatedly imperils Ruki with its tentacles.
• Status Buff: It's special "attack" is Digicabolic Steroid which involves injecting their host bodies with powerful chemicals that enhance their strength and speed while dulling any sense of pain so they can better defend Parasimon itself.
• Tentacle Rope: The first Parasimon ensnares Ruki in its tendrils and holds her hostage.
• Vocal Dissonance: The leader sounds like a hick.
• Zerg Rush: The Parasimon offensive from the digital zone consists of waves and waves of them descending into the real world.
