Legendary Warriors | Evil Legendary Warriors
open/close all folders
In General
- Psycho Rangers: They are the anime's equivalent of a rival team to the resident Sentai.
- Quirky Miniboss Squad: They are the recurring threats for the first half of the anime. However, quirky that is, they are incredibly serious threats who can easily crush the legendary warriors in most of their encounters.
- Unwitting Pawn: In the big picture, just like their master Cherubimon, they are all just unwittingly playing into the revival of Lucemon.
Grumblemon (Grottomon)
His two evolutions are as follows:
- Human Hybrid: Grumblemon (Grottomon), an ogre Digimon. His default form.
- Beast Hybrid: Gigasmon, a mineral Digimon. He's supposed to be a certain type of mythological giant called a Gigas.
Voiced by: Tomohiro Nishimura (JP), Derek Stephen Prince (EN), Juan Carlos Lozano (Spain), Ángel Aragón (Latin America), Ivo Roberto (Brazil)
- Combat Pragmatist: Grumblemon is easily the best tactician of any of his gang, only topped by Mercurymon. He's not afraid to use his Beast Spirit to turn the fight to his advantage, bring backup, hide underground or run away when he's clearly outmatched. He even immobilizes Koji once when the latter tries to use his own Beast Spirit.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Fights with him either end with him dishing these out or being on the receiving end, the former when facing the Legendary Warriors before they got their Beast Spirits, and the latter occurring afterwards.
- De-power: Loses his beast spirit to Takuya and doesn't get it back.
- Dishing Out Dirt: He's the Legendary Warrior of Earth.
- Dumb Muscle: Subverted. He looks like this at first, especially because he likes to drop the hammer and has a hulking Beast Spirit, but outside of Mercurymon he's the only one of the evil Legendary Warriors who displays ability to plan rather than charging into a fight.
- Fast Tunnelling: Being the Legendary Warrior of Earth, his affinity is in the underground, able to tunnel through it quickly in both of his spirit forms.
- Know When to Fold 'Em: He'll run away if the battle's turned in his enemies' favor.
- Mook Maker: He can create an apparently endless supply of Golemon, which he doesn't need his Beast Spirit for.
- Our Giants Are Bigger: Gigasmon is based off a Gigas, but he isn't really that big. He is quite physically imposing, however.
- Quirky Miniboss Squad: With Ranamon, Arbormon and Mercurymon. He was also esentially an one-man version of this before the rest were introduced.
- Sinister Schnoz: Both his forms have a large Gag Nose.
- Smug Snake: Doesn't take the Legendary Warriors for a threat, which ends up costing him his Beast Spirit.
- Spin Attack: Gigasmon's Quagmire Twister attack.
- Starter Villain: The first main enemy to be dispatched. Previously, the kids encountered unrelated Digimon doing their own thing.
- Summon Magic: He has summoned Golemon during two battles. The first time, he only calls one. He has a small army of them with him the second time.
- Villain Forgot to Level Grind: Of a sort. When he first appeared, Grumblemon was easily able to trump all five of the Legendary Warriors, especially when he gained his Beast Spirit, as Gigasmon made it an Ultimate level fighting relatively inexperienced champions. But after the Digidestined all got their Beast Spirits, it quickly became apparent that he was no match for them anymore, especially for either KendoGarurumon or BurningGreymon.
- Villainous Breakdown: When J.P. gets his beast spirit, Grumblemon has himself a bit of a moment.
- Wake-Up Call Boss: He's way harder to handle than the Monsters of the Week that the heroes faced before and he manages to steal Zoe and Tommy's spirits. The rest of the Quirky Miniboss Squad are quite a bit stronger than he is.
- You No Take Candle: Speaks this way at least in the English dub.
Arbormon
His two evolutions are as follows:
- Human Hybrid: Arbormon, a cyborg Digimon. His default form.
- Beast Hybrid: Petaldramon, a plant Digimon. A large living plant that resembles a dragon.
Voiced by: Kenji Nomura (JP), Richard Cansino (EN), Pepe Carabias (Spain), Guillermo Rojas (Latin America), Cássius Romero (Brazil)
- Bamboo Technology: Despite being the Legendary Warrior of Wood, Arbormon is very distinctly artificial in appearance and is even classified as a Cyborg-type Digimon. It's based on the Karakuri puppet, a mechanized puppet from 17th Century Japan.
- Beware the Silly Ones: Arbormon is an odd, weird individual who lives in his own world and most of the times gives advices to live a good daily life for no particular reason (to the audience, of all people), but despite that forgetting he’s one of the Evil Legendary Warriors is a bad idea. In his default form he’s a competent fighter, but as Petaldramon he becomes a true powerhouse and during the final fight the main characters have against him is necessary for the five of them to fight him at the same time in their Beast Spirits in order to defeat him.
- Bizarre Taste in Food: He’s shown to enjoy the taste of the noodles of the Delumon/Deramon that lives in the Forest Terminal, something other Digimon like Bokomon and Neemon found disgusting.
- Blow You Away: Petaldramon's Leaf Cyclone attack releases a gust of leaves from his nose.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: Arbormon does this a lot at random moments. One moment, he's plotting to kill the warriors, and the next moment, he's reminding the little kids watching the show to brush their teeth before going to bed.
- Breath Weapon: Petaldramon's Leaf Cyclone is unusual in that he releases it through his nose.
- Brooklyn Rage: Speaks in a New York dialect in the dub.
- The Brute: He is the most physically imposing of the Quirky Mini Boss Squad, only equalled by Grumblemon, while lacking the intelligence of his colleagues.
- Cloudcuckoolander: In the Japanese version and dubs based on it, about 50% of his dialogue is non-sequitur platitudes about living well, like, "When you wake up in the morning, be sure to wash your teeth!" and "Be considerate of your neighbors by keeping your voice down." When he's on-screen, these are often delivered directly to the camera. Often even right after talking sensible dialogue or when others try and talk with him.
- Combat Tentacles: A variation. As Petaldramon, he can jab his tail into the ground and make roots shoot up around his enemies.
- De-power: He loses his Beast Spirit, resulting in Duskmon killing him.
- Dumb Muscle: He's the least intellectual of all his gang, being lazy and a bit dim-witted, but is strong enough to go toe-to-toe with multiple Warriors. His final appearance has him giving all five of the heroes a hard battle as Petaldramon.
- Extendable Arms: His Roundhouse Punt/Machine-Gun Dance attack, which allows him to repeatedly attack from a distance.
- Green Thumb: The Legendary Warrior of Wood.
- Kaiju: Petaldramon is already a big Digimon towering most of the other Beast Spirits (only Sephirotmon is bigger than him), but in his last fight with the Chosen Children he grows even bigger after powering up himself by eating some trees.
- Laughably Evil: Zigzagged Trope, but overall he's the least competent of all the Dark Legendary Warriors. In one episode, he devotes all his nefarious energies to kidnapping a Burgermon chef and forcing him to make better hamburgers and in general tends to talk to the audience with life advice at random intervals (in the original version and dubs mainly based on it). In another, however, he cheerfully kills four Pipismon and absorbs their fractal codes.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: His voice in the English dub is heavily based on Sylvester Stallone.
- Non Sequitur: His fourth-wall breaking quotes often come across as this for everyone else in-universe, both Datamon and Grumblemon even outright state that they have no idea what's he even trying to convey across or what he's thinking about in the first place.
- Overly-Long Tongue: He's shown to have one as Petaldramon during his final appearance as a villain, using it to grab things, including Zephyrmon.
- Planimal: Petaldramon looks like a lizard made of plants, as he is the Warrior of Wood.
- Poke the Poodle: In one infamous case, he once terrorized a Burgermon village in order to get to eat all the hamburgers he wanted. While he’s still portrayed as a force to reckon with, his role and behavior there is more fitting of some low tier villain than to one of the Ten Legendary Warriors.
- Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Petaldramon is a lizard-like plant Digimon and is the bestial form of the villainous Arbormon. Not in vain, in the episode where he menaces the Burgermon (that he entirely spends as Petaldramon) some Chamelemon henchmen assist him in kidnapping the father Burgermon and threatening the village.
- Roundhouse Kick: His main attack, aided by extendable legs.
- The Stoic: Arbormon’s face is unable to emote, leaving him in a perpetually poker face. As Petaldramon he becomes a bit more expressive and emotional, however.
- Tongue Trauma: KendoGarurumon strikes at his tongue to free Zephyrmon.
- Trademark Favorite Food: He’s shown to REALLY enjoy hamburgers, to the point in one episode he threatens a Burgermon village and kidnaps one of them (as he was the one who made the most delicious burgers) to have all the burgers he wants to eat.
- Verbal Tic: Nearly every sentence he says ends with "right?"
- Villainous Glutton: He instigates the main conflict of the 19th episode when he terrorizes a Burgermon village and kidnaps a especially talented chef so he can satiate his hunger for burgers of the highest quality.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Duskmon's reason for killing him off, stating he was useless after his Beast Spirit was taken.
Ranamon
Her two evolutions are as follows:
- Human Hybrid: Ranamon, a fairy Digimon. Her default form.
- Beast Hybrid: Calmaramon, an aquatic Digimon. A mildly less attractive woman sprouting out of an upside down squid.
Voiced by: Haruhi Terada (JP), Peggy O'Neal (EN), Carolina Tak (Spain), Adriana Rodríguez (Latin America), Priscilla Concepción (Brazil)
- Acid Attack: Her Acid Ink attack has her spit acid at her foes.
- Alpha Bitch: Carries herself like one, being a vain, beauty-obsessed female with a cadre of admirers who becomes a rival to one of the female leads.
- Arch-Enemy: To Izumi/Zoe, who she believes is a threat to her popularity and beauty. In the end, Zoe defeats her.
- Cute Monster Girl: Her first form is this which is what garners a fan club. It nosedives fast when she shifts into her Beast Spirit.
- Dark Action Girl: Evil, Jerkass and also more than capable of holding her own in a fight.
- Designated Girl Fight: She is the only enemy that Izumi/Zoe defeats by herself and actually scans.
- Evil Counterpart: To Zoe. Ranamon is vain and selfish. She manipulates others and basks in people adoring her for her beauty and ignores her faults. Whereas Zoe lives for others and when confronted with her weaknesses, acknowledges them and strives to be better.
- Evil Laugh: Calmaramon has a rather hammy and over the top one in the Japanese version.
- Fanservice: She's Ms. Fanservice in her default form, a cute, fairy-like humanoid.
- Fan Disservice: Ranamon as Calmaramon. Even her fan clubs became disgusted after witnessing her transformation, causing them to resign from said clubs.
- Fatal Flaw: She places all value on appearances, barely caring to improve her selfish and cruel personality. As such, most of her fanclub is composed of Digimon as shallow as she is, so they either end abandoning her when she gets her Beast Spirit and shows her ugly side (like the Toucanmon), and the one group of fans that still side with her even after seeing Calmaramon (the Honeybeemon) quickly ditch her and defect to Izumi/Zoe (whom Ranamon was fighting at the time) not only because she’s pretty, but because she’s also a kind person who cares for others selflessly, unlike Ranamon.
- Gonk: Exaggerated In-Universe for her Beast Spirit. She is not painful to look as long as you ignore everything from the waist down, unless you're into that sort of thing, but Calmaramon's looks are more mature and sharp. Ranamon's fan-club liked her for her cute idol-like beauty and consider her as good as a Gonk.
- Green and Mean: Her skin is greenish and she’s an evil Alpha Bitch who loves to humiliate and crush her enemies.
- Green-Eyed Monster: She's jealous of Zoe because the Spirits of Wind are cuter than her, especially after she obtains her Beast Spirit.
- Irony: She easily won the heart of every male Digimon she came across, except the one she actually has feelings for.
- Love Makes You Crazy: She pretty much relies on this to get her (male) minions to do what she wants.
- Making a Splash: She can control water, rain and clouds.
- Our Mermaids Are Different: She has legs in her default form, and her upper body is fused with a squid as Calmaramon.
- Perky Female Minion: Among the below mentioned Quirky Miniboss Squad.
- Quirky Miniboss Squad: With Grumblemon, Arbormon and Mercurymon.
- Redemption Earns Life: In the last episode.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: She's a villain and both her forms have red eyes. Slightly averted in that she's corrupted and still has the red eyes when she's purified and revived.
- Slasher Smile: Despite her cute appearance, she can pull very nasty smiles when she’s being particularly malicious.
- Southern Belle: In the dub.
- Spin Attack: She has one as Calmaramon known as Titanic Charge. It fails (read: carries her over the horizon) the first couple times she uses it. She eventually succeeds.
- Squishy Wizard: Ranamon’s attacks mainly involve magical water techniques centered in debuffing the enemy. While she’s a tough enemy in large bodies of water, normally she’s a mediocre fighter on her own, reason why she was searching for her Beast Spirit before properly confronting the Chosen Children.
- Super Spit: As Calmaramon, she spits Hollywood Acid.
- Tickle Torture: She uses this on Tommy and Zoe to force them into giving up their spirits.
- The Vamp: Of the cute variety.
- Villain Forgot to Level Grind: Subverted. As she was the only one (apart from Duskmon) without a Beast Spirit at the start of the story, Ranamon was forced to train a lot until she eventually mastered it and proved herself to be a formidable foe at the Dark Continent.
- Water Is Womanly: Ranamon is the Legendary Warrior of Water, being one of the only two females among the Ten Legendary Warriors, and is very vain, liking to flaunt her beauty. As Calmaramon she's seen as much uglier and shows her true colors as selfish and cruel, fitting with water's negative association with being moody and temperamental.
- Witch with a Capital "B": Gets called this by Takuya in episode 16.
Mercurymon (Mercuremon)
His three evolutions are as follows:
- Human Hybrid: Mercurymon (Mercuremon), a mutant Digimon. His default form.
- Beast Hybrid: Sakkakumon (Sephirotmon), a mutant Digimon. A weird looking creature that resembles a living sephirot. Inside each of his spheres exists a different elemental based dimension.
- Mega ShadowSeraphimon (BlackSeraphimon), a fallen angel Digimon. A demonic Seraphimon.
Voiced by: Yasunori Masutani (JP), Daran Norris (EN), José María Carrero (Spain), Mario Hernández (Latin America), César Marchetti (Brazil)
- All Your Powers Combined: Sakkakumon has all of the powers of the heroes' Hybrids.
- Ambiguous Situation: Somehow, he can exist as Mercurymon and Sephirotmon at the same time, remaining alive until both of them are defeated. Agunimon does ask how is this even possible, but Mercurymon claims the answer would be too much of a Mind Screw for him to understand.
- Beat Them at Their Own Game: Mercurymon has a tendency to reflect his enemies' attacks back at them with his mirrored shields. He even managed to defeat Seraphimon this way.
- Casting a Shadow: As ShadowSeraphimon, at least nominally.
- Catch and Return: Dark Reflection. It has to be this since the reflected attacks are absorbed by his mirrors before being sent back.
- The Chessmaster: His schemes involve using both the villains and the heroes against each other, placing himself in a position where he can easily win after they've done all the work for him. He steals Seraphimon's data without telling anyone in order to power himself up, then traps the heroes inside of his Beast form so that even if Mercurymon is defeated, his Xanatos Gambit allows Sakkakumon to attain the powers of everyone who fought inside of him, making him seemingly invincible. Too bad he didn't count on the heroes using a Combination Attack to defeat him.
- Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: He largely sat back and let Grumblemon, Ranamon and Arbormon do most of the grunt work -Duskmon even calls him out on it in one episode- and was planning to betray his master and keep Seraphimon's data to himself. He even manipulates Ranamon as part of his plan, not caring whether she survived or not.
- Combat Aestheticist: How he ultimately sees his plans.
- Complexity Addiction: A Fatal Flaw. This blog
puts it out perfectly.... more focused on the spectacle of his victory than seeking out the most certain path to it. It's showing off, plain and simple... - Deadpan Snarker: Going with his hammy dialogue.
- Drama-Preserving Handicap: The resources he has at his fingertips are honestly impressive, with his Beast Spirit being basically a system of inter-connected pocket dimensions which he can control, yet those are compensated by Mercurymon's proneness to toy too much with his enemies and compose artistic scenes rather than fighting smart.
- Evil Brit: In the dub, he speaks in a Shakespearean dialect.
- Evil Genius: Easily the most competent villain in the series.
- Extra-ore-dinary: His element is the metal, although it doesn’t really show except by the fact that his weapons are metal mirrors. His Beast Spirit form can manipulate a terrain made of metal inside his spheres as a Genius Loci, although this also extends to other elements not related to metal.
- Eye Beams: Composed of the heroes' attacks. Only applies to Sakkakumon, since Mercurymon is faceless.
- Eyeless Face: As Sakkakumon, the sphere with his mouth doesn't have any of his eyes. The mirror on Mercurymon's head also technically counts since it has his mouth on it.
- Fatal Flaw: While a great planner, he often cares more for the artistic aspect of his plans and can become too arrogant in key moments.
- Genius Loci: As Sakkakumon, he can control his internal environments as well as the corridors between them.
- Heel–Face Turn: Post-death.
- Hero Killer: Exaggerated, as he downright offs the Big Good of the series. He also completely owns Takuya in combat not once but twice, and was headed for victory when Seraphimon's egg bestowed a miracle on his enemy.
- Large Ham: He speaks like he learned English from a Shakespeare play.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Kills Seraphimon and takes the angel's power for himself. Seraphimon's egg gives Takuya the power to become Ardhamon, who kills Mercurymon in turn.
- Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: See Catch and Return above.
- Magic Mirror: Mercurymon can actually move between any polished surfaces within his Sakkakumon form, all of which are in the topmost area. Otherwise, he can use his mirror shields to teleport.
- Manipulative Bastard: He schemes the most out of the villains, using his beast form to act as a mental labyrinth to the heroes and trying to use that to break them down. He even uses his own allies in this scheme and doesn't really seem to care when they all bite it in the process of trying to defeat the heroes. This even fits into the motif of AncientWisemon, the legendary warrior he inherited his power from, which is based on Komei, a famous tactician from the Three Kingdoms known for his schemes.
- New Powers as the Plot Demands: Despite his powers had been shown as entirely counter-offensive, he shows a real attack during his brief rebirth, firing a green beam from one of his shields. Sakkakumon is also made of this trope.
- Pocket Dimension: He has ten of them as Sakkakumon.
- Power Copying: Sakkakumon, which has the power to record and copy any attacks used inside him.
- Quirky Miniboss Squad: With Grumblemon, Ranamon and Arbormon.
- Redemption Earns Life: In the last episode.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Sakkakumon has even more of them than Duskmon.
- Smug Snake: He's ultimately not as competent as a villain as he thinks he is. During his last fight with the Chosen Children, when he had them on the ropes, he opted to toy with them for his amusement. This proved his downfall, albeit through a way he couldn't reasonably have anticipated.
- The Starscream: He kept Seraphimon's fractal code to himself, hoping to exploit its celestial power. But since Cherubimon noticed this, and let him keep it anyway, it is unlikely he would have posed much of a threat even if he hadn't been beaten by Aldamon. The creepy church is Chokhmah, symbolizing divine wisdom, intuitiveness and insight. The church and Seraphimon's presence fit into this picture.
- Superpower Lottery: Although he's not the best fighter in the corrupted Legendary Warriors at a personal level, his set of abilities are quite staggering, starting by a Human Spirit able to use his opponent's power against them and ending with a Beast Spirit that is basically a living anime arc, and he's also uniquely able of existing in both forms as separate bodies.
- Troll: He seems to enjoy annoying Ranamon.
- Unholy Nuke: ShadowSeraphimon's Strike of the Seven Dark Stars, which the Japanese version calls "Seven Hells".
- Villainous Breakdown:
- Has one after Takuya gains the ability to fusion evolve.
- Also has one as Sakkakumon after he finds the Digidestined combined attacks can hurt him, and makes some vain attempts at boasting that he'll still win despite being scarred stiff. Takuya even lampshades this calling his bluff.
- Womb Level: The corridors between Sakkakumon's internal environments look organic.
- Xanatos Gambit: At one point he trapped the Chosen Children inside his Beast Spirit form while smaller copies of himself fought them directly. Defeating these copies made his Beast Spirit immune to the attacks used to defeat them so it didn't matter to him whether he won or lost, even his defeat as ShadowSeraphimon working to his benefit. It goes wrong when they start mixing attacks which he had never seen. This oversight falls under the "all reasonable outcomes" variant because not even the chosen children knew they could do this at the time.
- Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe: This was added in the dub; for example, he addresses others as "thee" and "thou", and refers to Ranamon as "m'lady". It fits pretty well with his overly dramatic personality, actually.
Duskmon
His evolutions are as follows:
- Corrupted Human Hybrid Duskmon, a demon man Digimon. Resembles a large man wearing vaguely draconic skeletal armor covered in eyes.
- Corrupted Beast Hybrid Velgemon (Velgmon), a giant bird Digimon. A giant monstrous bird with draconic features and a third eye.
Voiced by: Kenichi Suzumura (JP), Crispin Freeman (EN), Pepe Carabias (Spain), Rodrigo Miranda (Latin America), Wendel Bezerra (Brazil)
- Beam Spam: Duskmon's Deadly Gaze attack fires nine beams, seven from the eyes on his armor and two from his hands.
- The Berserker: When Cherubimon gives him his Beast Spirit, he also manipulates Duskmon into a rage. This ends up backfiring as he cannot control Velgemon.
- Black Knight: He looks to be wearing armor and is largely black in color.
- Blade Below the Shoulder: Retractable ones.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: By Cherubimon.
- Casting a Shadow: He's the Legendary Warrior of Darkness.
- Dark Is Evil: He's the Legendary Warrior of Darkness and is quite evil.
- Deadpan Snarker: Before meeting the heroes, he makes a few snipes at the other corrupted warriors.
- The Dragon: To Cherubimon.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Calls Mercurymon out on the latter's plan to betray Cherubimon and keep Seraphimon's data for himself, as well as his sitting back while having the remaining villains do the work. It doesn't stop him from killing Arbormon, however.
- Evil Counterpart: Starts out as this to Koji in more ways than one.
- Extra Eyes: Duskmon's armor, obviously. Velgemon also has a third eye in the middle of his head.
- Expy: Of Darth Vader. Wears scary black armor and wields a red sword? Check. The Dragon to another villain? Check. Related to one of the protagonists and pulls a Heel–Face Turn because of that connection? Checkmate.
- Eye Beams:
- His Deadly Gaze attack. Doubles as a Beam Spam, though his last battle with BeoWulfmon also shows him firing a single one out of the eye on his chest at point-blank range.
- Velgemon's Dark Vortex attack fires a beam out of his central eye.
- Eyes Do Not Belong There: He has them all over his armor. They can look around independently of his normal eyes, so they seem to be functional for extra creepiness.
- Facial Markings: He has markings under each eye.
- Gratuitous English: Velgmon's attacks have English names in the Japanese version.
- Gratuitous German: His attacks have German names in the Japanese version, though Velgemon's don't.
- Image Song: The only villain for Frontier to get an image song: "Blader". He probably gets one because he ends up a lot more important as the series progresses.
- Knight of Cerebus: The show takes a more serious tone after he becomes an active threat.
- Luke, I Am Your Father: Delivers this to Koji in battle after his memories of Koji are restored but his hatred incited by Cherubimon.
- Mind Probe: While fighting Koji inside Sakkakumon, he reads Koji's memories to determine what the connection is between them.
- More than Mind Control: While initially he was just fully brainwashed, by the time he gets his memories from Ophanimon back Cherubimon has to resort to this by stirring up Koichi's latent hatred and jealousy.
- No-Nonsense Nemesis: Until he starts wondering about his connection to Koji.
- Our Demons Are Different: Duskmon is a Demon Man Digimon, and he certainly looks the part.
- Quirky Miniboss Squad: Averted. He doesn't mess around like the other four corrupted Warriors and is much stronger than any of the other nine Warriors. He also has a very serious personality compared to the others and doesn't take part in their schemes.
- Red and Black and Evil All Over: His color scheme reflects his name, and he's easily the most brutal of the Quirky Miniboss Squad.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Both his regular eyes and the ones on his armor.
- Reforged into a Minion: Fortunately - or perhaps unfortunately - for Cherubimon, the wanderer who he picked up and brainwashed just happened to be Koji's twin brother...It's unusual in that we don't know Koichi exists until after the fact.
- Scary Impractical Armor: If he has hands under those huge skull gauntlets, he probably can't use them. That said, he can apparently see with the extra eyes.
- Story-Breaker Power: He was playing around with a power equivalent to Advanced Hybrid-level Digimon when the kids had barely gotten used to their Beast Spirits. And even when Koji and Takuya got their Advanced Hybrid forms, he still outclassed them as Velgemon to the point that they barely won by working together.
- Superpowered Evil Side: An inversion. While he is the evil version of Lowemon, and is in fact very strong, Lowemon himself is stronger still.
- Technicolor Blade: Red, in keeping with his color scheme.
- Token Human: His real identity is actually a transformed boy who being brainwashed and manipulated by Cherubimon who also related with one of main character.
- Toothy Bird: Velgemon.
- Unholy Nuke: Velgemon's Dark Obliteration attack. It will either cause the affected area to violently explode or simply cease to exist.
- The Worf Barrage: Nothing the heroes do when they first meet him can even scratch him. He even shrugs off a Combination Attack.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Delivers this to Arbormon after he loses his Beast Spirit.
