* InformedAttribute: His status as a villain. Despite a few menacing titles, he's never directly done or been involved in anything evil.

->Voiced by: NamiMiyahara (JP), BobGlouberman (EN)

* SinisterMinister: Going by his titles. It furthers the allusion to Cthulhu, as he was the high priest to the {{Bigger Bad}}s of the Mythos.

* BiggerBad: Responsible for almost everything that goes wrong in ''02'' but only shows up for a three second cameo. (He figures more prominently in the Wonderswan games and the ''VideoGame/DigimonBattleSpirit'' game).

* BFS: The Omega Sword, born of Omnimon's data.Able to take out Armageddemon with ease

** '''[[AnIcePerson Li]][[BlowYouAway ght]]''': Quetzalmon, an armored [[UsefulNotes/AztecMythology Quetzalcoatl]] who can uses various wind and ice-based attacks. Only appears in a crossover in ''VideoGame/DigimonDigitalCardBattle''. And yes, despite digivolved and armored with Digi-Egg of ''Light'', his powers are all based on ''wind'' and ''ice''!

* Misblamed: He is widely regarded by the fandom as being responsible for Kari's kidnapping to the Dark Ocean, but it was actually the Deep Ones that summoned her and tried to mate with her.

* Misblamed: A meta example. He is widely regarded by the fandom as being responsible for Kari's kidnapping

* DudeMagnet: Davis, Wallace, all three the Poi Brothers, and [[AmbiguousSituation possibly]] [[EldritchAbomination Dagomon.]]

* SeaMonster
* ShoutOut: He looks like Cthulhu, and his name is a reference to [[Literature/TheShadowOverInnsmouth Dagon]].

* EpicFlail: Ankylomon's tail.
* KansaiRegionalAccent: Nagoya-ben
** AccentAdaptation: Changed to a Western accent in the dub.

** All these situations can be addressed as he has resentment toward those who make others suffer with the power of darkness.

** All these situations can be addressed as he has resentment toward those who those who make others suffer with the power of darkness.

** All these situations can be addressed as he has resentment toward those who abuse the power of darkness and end up causing pain to others.

** However, he mysterious power are never fully explained.

* DependingOnTheWriter: Is he resentful of those who try to toy with the darkness without knowing what it entails (episode 19), those who try to take over the world or do other evil deeds with the power of darkness (episode 34), or those who create artificial life with the power of darkness (episode 35)? Is he out to destroy anything that's made with the power of darkness (episode 34) or does he believe that all life is precious and important (episode 35)? The only thing anyone can agree on is that Angemon's death in ''[[Anime/DigimonAdventure Adventure]]'' did a number on him.

* ChangingOfTheGuard: The series makes a point to contrast the new digidestined on the field from the old who now mostly act as mentors, and highlights TK and Kari's maturation from {{Tagalong Kid}}s on the original team to core members of the current group.

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Has a huge crush on Hikari, but she never responds. Kinda disappears by the time Ken joins.

* FearlessFool: Rather than courageous Daisuke is more fearless as he doesn't ever show any fear, despite being a NaiveNewcomer and put in situations where FearIsTheAppropriateResponse, like Taichi, unlike Taichi though he never grows out of it.

* {{Foil}}: His lack of development was meant to be a Foil to [[spoiler:Ken's CharacterDevelopment]].

* HumbleGoal: Run a noodle cart business.
* IdiotHero: Perhaps one of the biggest ones in the franchise sans [[Anime/DigimonXrosWarsTheYoungHuntersLeapingThroughTime Tagiru]]. Unlike Taichi, he doesn't really grow out of this, but admittedly it pays off in the end.

* KneelBeforeZod

* PersonalityPowers

* ShirtlessScene: Hurricane Touchdown

* {{Determinator}}: Spends the entirety of the Kimeramon arc following Matt to a campground after he "accidentally" left her behind.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: The hate from Matt/Sora shippers is doubly ridiculous, since she actually ''gave up on Matt willingly'' as soon as she saw him with Sora and showed no bad feelings towards them, aside of just moping around a bit like almost any teenage girl would. If Tai was the chosen one, she would likely behave the same way - and maybe even more, considering that Tai is Davis's BigBrotherMentor of sorts.

* OfficialCouple: With Joe's middle brother Shuu. It's AllThereInTheManual according to the ''Michi e no Armor Shinka!'' audio drama, she even goes to meet Shuu's parents before a Valentine's date.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: "Halsemon" is an attempted Anglicization of "Holsmon", where "Hols" is an attempted Anglicization of "[[EgyptianMythology Horusmon]]."[[note]]Compare Sethmon, another Love Digimental evolution, but with Veemon as the base rather than Hawkmon.[[/note]]

* MightyGlacier: As Shakkoumon, he (and Angemon) move rather slow compared to his other allies, but is able to dish out a large deal of pain.

** LightningBruiser: Magnamon. Can fight evenly with Kimeramon and can take quite a deal of punishment. He's far faster than Raidramon and far stronger than Flamedramon (how he compares with Paildramon and Imperialdramon isn't clear)

** This leads to the awkward situation of having to Digivolve to reach a level of power actually 'weaker' than Gatomon was in adventure

* OurAngelsAreDifferent: This time around she gets to be a Sphinx and a holy chinese dragon. Both are holy beasts and Nefertimon is even called " The Angel of Light "
* PantheraAwesome: Nefertimon is a large cat, and doubles as an angel!
