Armadillomon (Adventure)

Armadillomon is a fictional character from the Digimon franchise. He is a main character in the anime series Digimon Adventure 02 and the digimon partner of Cody Hida.

Appearance
Armadillomon is a small armored digimon with three-clawed limbs and a short tail. In the Japanese version, he speaks with a Nagoya dialect and usually ends his sentences with "da'gya!". In the dubbed, this turned into a Southern United States accent. Armadillomon's easy going nature is a sharp contrast to his partner Cody's serious personality.

Description
Armadillomon is one of the three Digimon of ancient times who were sealed away by the Digimon Sovereign Azulongmon in case of a crisis. He was awakened when the Digimon Emperor began his conquest of the Digital World. Cody, on his first visit to the Digital World, lifted the Digi-Egg of Knowledge. This freed Armadillomon from his suspended animation.

 Attacks: 
 * Diamond Shell (Rolling Stone): Armadillomon curls up into a ball and rams into the opponent.
 * Scratch Beat: Rapidly slashes enemies using his claws.

Other Forms
The name "Armadillomon" refers to only the rookie form of this digimon. Throughout the series, Armadillomon gains the ability to Digivolve into a number of more powerful forms (each with a different name). The rookie form, however, is his most common and preferred form.

Digmon


Digmon, the "Drill of Knowledge", is the form Armadillomon takes when he Armor Digivolves with the Digi-Egg of Knowledge.

Armadillomon first Armor Digivolved to Digmon on the day of his revival, when the Digimon Emperor abducted Davis. Cody's desire to understand life's mysteries evoked the power of the Digi-Egg, allowing Armadillomon to Armor Digivolve to Digmon and destroy the Dark Ring on Drimogemon, a Digimon who was under the Emperor's control. Digmon was a valuable fighter during the Digimon Emperor's reign of terror, but when Ken renounced his evil persona, Digmon was no longer needed as Armadillomon was now able to Digivolve normally.

 Attacks: 
 * Gold Rush: Digmon fires his drills towards the opponent.
 * Rock Cracking (Big Crack): Digmon rams his drills in the ground, causing a fissure.



Submarimon


Submarimon, the "Guardian of Reliability", is the form Armadillomon takes when he Armor Digivolves with the Digi-Egg of Reliability. Armadillomon first became Submarimon on the day the Digi-Egg of Reliability was found. The DigiDestined children had been trapped in an offshore oil platform by a MegaSeadramon who was under the control of the Digimon Emperor. Cody was able to invoke the power of the Digi-Egg of Reliability, allowing Armadillomon to Armor Digivolve to Submarimon. Submarimon destroyed the Dark Spiral on MegaSeadramon and freed the DigiDestined. Submarimon is one of the few digimon forms beloning to the Chosen Digimon who is well-equipped for combat in water. Submarimon's head also conatins a cockpit that can fit a single human, meaning he can be used as underwater transport.

Ankylomon


Ankylomon is Armadillomon's champion form. His name is derived from the dinosaur ankylosaurus. Armadillomon first digivolved to Ankylomon to protect Cody from Thundermon, who the DigiDestined encountered when they were helping to rebuild the Digital World after all the damage done by the Digimon Emperor. Since then, Ankylomon has appeared more than Armadillomon's Armor forms. Later, during the DigiDestined's battle against BlackWarGreymon, Ankylomon was able to DNA Digivolve with Angemon (Patamon's champion form) to Shakkoumon, who was the first to actually inflict any real damage on the Mega-leveled BlackWarGreymon.

 Attacks: 
 * Tail Hammer: Ankylomon uses the spiked end of his tail as a hammer.
 * Megaton Press: Ankylomon leaps into the air and slams his body onto his opponent.



Shakkoumon


Shakkoumon is an Ultimate level Mutant digimon who is the DNA Digivolved form of Angemon and Ankylomon, combining the features and armor attributes of a Dino-type Digimon with the powers of an Angel type. Shakkoumon is modeled after the Shakoukidoguu, an ancient Japanese clay figure from the Jomon era known for being suspiciously alien in appearance. Shakkoumon's neck and torso can turn a full 360 degrees, making it possible for Shakkoumon to attack in all directions. He is also capable of absorbing energy-based attacks, though he has a harder time dealing with stronger energy attacks

Shakkoumon was first formed when the DigiDestined were about to battle BlackWarGreymon in an effort to protect the very last Destiny Stone. Both Cody Hida and T.K. knew they could not let the artificial Digimon destroy everyone, despite BlackWarGreymon's reasons. Their Digimon partners, Angemon and Ankylomon were able to DNA digivolve at that point, forming Shakkoumon, who teamed up with Paildramon and Silphymon to fight BlackWarGreymon.

Attacks 
 * Justice Beam/Harmonious Spirit: Shakkoumon shoots red/orange beams out of his eyes.
 * Kachina Bombs (Ruling Spirit/Clay Bombs): A hole around his waist opens up to launch exploding clay disks at enemies.
