Lopmon (Tamers)

Lopmon is a Rookie Level Animal Digimon. He is the "twin sibling" of Terriermon, despite having different colors and more horns.

Appearance
Lopmon resembles a rabbit, while his "twin sibling" - Terriermon is a dog with rabbit's ears. While Terriermon is an over-confident sort and tends to make sarcastic remarks, Lopmon is shy and polite. Lopmon spoke in an antiquated dialect in the Japanese version that lacked gender-differing pronouns.

Description

 * In the American version, Lopmon was changed to and written as female. This was based on the fact that his Japanese voice actor was female, and due to the fact that Lopmon used genderless pronouns (due to the dialect assigned to the character). By the time the truth was discovered, it was too late to change it back.

Lopmon is the Digimon partner of Suzie, Henry's little sister. But prior to their meeting, Lopmon was Antylamon of the Devas, whose job was as guardian of the south gate leading to Zhuqiaomon's palace. When Suzie first met Antylamon, she was somewhat of a bothersome to her, pestering her with questions and such, but after spending some time together, they developed a special bond. When Antylamon's fellow deva, Makuramon, appeared and tried to harm Suzie, Antylamon drove him away. As punishment, Zhuqiaomon reverted her to Lopmon for protecting a human, and she became a partner to Suzie.

When the Tamers confronted Zhuqiaomon, Lopmon pleaded with Zhuqiaomon not to kill them. Regardless, he unleashed a blast of flame on Lopmon although in the end she was saved by WarGrowlmon. Lopmon, like the other Tamer Digimon, went to the Real World and Suzie taught her a few lessons in speaking correctly. When the D-Reaper appeared, Lopmon regained her ability to digivolve to Antylamon to help out (presumably Dobermon gave it back to her like he gave the Tamers back the ability to Biomerge). Her only appearance during the final battle was when Kazu, Kenta, Guardromon, MarineAngemon and herself entered the D-Reaper to help. They arrived in one of MarineAngemon's bubbles just in time to rescue the recently de-digivolved Tamers and Digimon. Afterwards she was forced to return to the Digital World with the rest of the Tamers Digimon.

She returned in Runaway Locomon but as a more minor character. Her appearance was limited to her being accidentally taken by Henry instead of Terriermon (they were later switched back) and in the end when she and Suzie were threatened by two Parasimon which were destroyed by Beelzemon before anything could happen to them. She later attended Rika's birthday party.

Attacks
 * Blazing Ice: Lopmon leaps into the air and quickly shoots small icy crystalline bolts from his mouth that can harm his enemies as well as freeze them.
 * Lop Twister (Petit Twister): Spins to form a tornado that he can impact with or throw.

Other forms
The name "Lopmon" refers only to the Rookie form of this Digimon. Throughout the series, Lopmon gains the ability to Digivolve into a number of more powerful forms, each with a different name and special attack. However, the Rookie level is his preferred form and the one he spends most of his time in.

Antylamon
Antylamon was originally one of the Devas (he was, in fact, the Rabbit Deva), whose job was as guardian of the south gate leading to Zhuqiaomon's palace. When he met Suzie, Antylamon grew to care about the girl & drove a fellow Deva Makuramon away. As punishment, Zhuqiaomon reverted him to Lopmon, making him a partner to Suzie.

During the D-Reaper's attack in the Real World, Lopmon digivolves back into Antylamon to help fight. It is not shown how he does this since the first Digi-Modify Suzie does is Radiant Glow (which apparently either increases his energy or protects his from the D-Reaper) but this is after he digivolves back into Antylamon the second time. It is clearly shown Lopmon digivolves back on his own the second time with the only reaction being Suzie's digivice glowing. This indicates that he got back his power to digivolve on his own which was taken away by Zhuqiaomon when he became Suzie's partner. He was probably given it back by Dobermon who gave the Tamers the power to digivolve back to Mega through Biomerge and probably gave him back his ability to digivolve as well. He first digivolves back to try to help his friends and after seeing Beelzemon and Calumon fly to the Kernel Sphere he tries to reach them. After he fails that he joins the battle against the Creep Hands Agent turning the tide of the battle by grabbing it's cord as it was about to eat Justimon stopping it. He then holds it's cord still long enough for Justimon to cut it destroying the Creep Hands. He comments he was glad to help but was almost too late and that teamwork trimuphed again. Lopmon again digivolves to Antylamon during Gallantmon and Beelzemon's attempt to rescue Jeri. As Lopmon he jumps out a window while digivolving and after Suzie uses the Radiant Glow Modify Card on his joins the battle destroying a bunch of Bubble Agents and saving Kazu, Kenta, Guardromon and Marine Angemon. He does not appear after this either in the series or in Runaway Locomon.

 Attacks
 * Bunny Blades (宝斧 lit. Treasure Axe): His paws glow with pink light before becoming large crescent moon shaped blades. When his paws are in this state he is able to throw blades of pink light energy as well as slice and dice his enemies in close physical combat.
 * Ashipatoravana (アシパトラヴァナ): Revolves like a tornado and slashes the enemy with the "Treasure Axe".



Gender uncertainties
In the Japanese version of Digimon Tamers, Antylamon (and his Rookie form, Lopmon) speaks with an antiquated dialect which uses gender-neutral pronouns, leaving viewers unable to discern if he was male or female (with a leaning towards the latter as a result of his female voice actress) until a much later episode, when his partner, Suzie, tried to encourage him to use the more modern pronoun, "boku" which is mostly reserved for young boys.
