Impmon (Tamers)

Impmon is a fictional character from the Digimon franchise. Impmon is featured as a main character in Digimon Tamers (and the movie Runaway Locomon) and is the Digimon partner of Ai and Mako.

Appearance
Impmon is a small humanoid imp creature with a tail and large pointed ears. He wears a pair of red gloves and a matching red scarf and an evil smile underneath.

Description
At the beginning of Digimon Tamers, Impmon was a trouble making digimon who spent most of his time picking on humans, and later harassing the Tamers and their Digimon. Impmon seemed to dislike humans, saying that no 'self-respecting Digimon' would ever ally themselves to one. It is revealed later in the series that Impmon is in fact the Digimon partner of two children - Ai and Mako. Impmon had run away from the two after they had continuously quarreled over him.

Impmon had resented the Tamers and their Digimon because they, unlike Impmon, were able to Digivolve. He tried to prove himself by fighting Indramon, but suffered a devastating defeat. With his ego crushed, Impmon readily accepted the Deva Chatsuramon's offer. Chatsuramon offered Impmon the ability to digivolve, but in return, Impmon will have to kill the Tamers and their Digimon.

Impmon is granted the power to become Beelzemon, a mega-level digimon who becomes the Sovereign Zhuqiaomon's personal assassin. Beelzemon eventually meets up with the Tamers and kills Leomon, Jeri's Digimon partner. This inspires Guilmon and Takato to bio-merge into Gallantmon, who fought an intense battle against Beelzemon. Gallantmon wins the battle, but spares Beelzemon on Jeri's request.

Beelzemon, in his weakened state, de-digivolves into Impmon again. Luckily, he encounters Renamon and Rika, who decide to bring Impmon back into the Real World. After being not only spared but saved by the people he had once hated, Impmon begins to have a change of heart and decides to instead help the tamers. With their help, Impmon Digivolves once again and becomes Beelzemon Blast Mode

At the end of the series, after the D-Reaper's destruction, Impmon at last asks Jeri for forgiveness. She agrees, leaving Impmon finally at peace with the humans.

 Attacks 
 * Badda-Boom (Night of Fire): Creates a small fire ball at his finger tips then hurls it at the opponent.
 * Infernal Funnel (Summon): Creates two rings of fire, one within the other, and creates a sphere of fire from the ring, which he then hurls at the target.

Other forms
The name "Impmon" refers to only the rookie form of this digimon. Throughout the series, Impmon gains the ability to Digivolve into other more powerful forms (with different names).

Since Impmon Digivolves directly to his mega form Beelzemon, his champion and ultimate forms are unknown.

Yaamon
Yaamon is Impmon's In-Training form. The name "Yaamon" could come from the Japanese word "yancha", meaning mischievous. Impmon De-Digivolved into Yaamon after the defeat of the D-Reaper, and returned to the Digital World.

Beelzemon
Beelzemon is the Mega form of Impmon. Beelzemon's name is derived from Beelzebub, the Hebrew word for Lord of the Flies and a word which is often synonymous with devil.

Beelzemon appears when Impmon accepts Chatsuramon's offer. With this new power, Impmon is able to Warp Digivolve into his mega form. Renamon was the first he encountered, and recognised him as Impmon. However, the ensuing battle was interrupted by a fierce storm created by the reactivation of the unstable Juggernaut program.

Beelzemon appears again at the entrance to Zhuqiaomon's Red Tower to hinder Takato and his group. During the fight that ensued, Beelzemon impaled Leomon, killing him and loading his data. Takato went into a rage and caused WarGrowlmon to Dark Digivolve into Megidramon. At first, Megidramon seemed to match Beelzemon evenly. However, when Makuramon appeared to berate Beelzemon, he was killed and his data used to increase Beelzemon's strength. This allowed Beelzemon to fend off Megidramon and nearly kill Taomon and Rapidmon.

However, Takato and Guilmon where able to Biomerge in time to form Gallantmon for the first time. Beelzemon was then defeated by the newly formed Gallantmon, and nearly met his demise had it not for Jeri's request that he be spared.

Beelzemon reflected on the events in his life that led up to this point and leaves, wandering the desert with the image of Jeri haunting his mind. This left him vulnerable to the revenge of Chrysalimon, who siphoned his energy and left behind a beaten and defeated Impmon.

 Attacks 
 * Double Impact: Rapidly fires powerful bullets from his two Berenjena shotguns.
 * Darkness Claw: Attacks enemies using his razor sharp claws.
 * Primal Orb: After copying Makuramon's data, Beelzemon is able to use his attack, which conceals his enemies in inescapable bubbles.

Behemoth
Behemoth is a dark motorcycle that can control its rider. Behemoth's origins are unknown, but it first appears after the Tamers arrive in the Digital World. Behemoth is originally piloted by a possessed MetalKoromon and constantly rampages through a village of Chuchidarumon that the Tamers come across. Guilmon manages to jump onto it and remove the mesmerized driver, only to fall under the spell himself. Thanks to Leomon, Guilmon is freed, and Behemoth fell into a pool of lava.

To everyone's surprise, the motorcycle emerged again, this time with the recently digivolved Beelzemon as its rider. Unlike other Digimon, it seems Beelzemon is not affected by Behemoth's mind-controlling abilities. Behemoth serves as Beelzemon's mode of transportation, giving him a serious advantage in terms of speed.

In the final battle between Gallantmon and Beelzemon, it is finally destroyed by Gallantmon with his Lightning Joust attack. Beelzemon later has to travel on foot wherever he goes until he gains the ability to fly in his Blast Mode. Behemoth (or a similar motorcycle) somehow returned in Runaway Locomon where it was yet again destroyed, this time by Locomon.

Beelzemon Blast Mode


After De-Digivolving from Beelzemon, Impmon is found by Rika and Renamon, who brings him back to the Real World. Impmon is eventually reunited with Ai and Mako, who apologize to him for all their fighting (which had led to his desertion). When the D-Reaper finally appeared in Shinjuku, Impmon leaves to help the other Tamer digimon. Ai and Mako sends him their best wishes and a small toy gun.

As Impmon runs towards the battle, his determination caused him to Digivolve once again to Beelzemon. The gun, energized by his Mega form, transforms into a huge blaster, Death Slinger. Beelzemon finishes his digivolution into his winged Blast Mode. In Blast Mode he is virtually identical to before, however, he gains Death Slinger, his eyes turn green, and several parts of his clothes and gloves turn a much lighter shade of grey. Through out the entire series he becomes more accustom to his new form and more passionate about saving Jeri as he says "I'll save you if it's the last thing I freakin do!" (It very nearly is: only the intervention of Grani saved him). During his main appearances in this form he is very dedicated to saving Jeri in an attempt to atone for his actions even though he knows what he did was unforgivable. The last time he takes this form during the series is during his and Calumon's rescue mission of Jeri (Calumon somehow was able to sense her presence and where she was) and some Bubbles attacked them. Impmon digivolved to Beelzemon Blast Mode to destroy them and used his guns to get Calumon into the Kernel Sphere and then he was captured by the Sphere and knocked out. He was later released and thrown from the Sphere because he was nearly successful at breaking out. He teams up with Gallantmon and Grani to break back in and free Jeri and after Gallantmon and Grani successfully destroy the Gatekeeper he tries to break into the Kernel Sphere through brute strength alone. His determination causes him to tap into Leomon's data within him (and considering the fact that an image of Leomon seemed to appear over him at the time perhaps Leomon's spirit helped him) and he used Leomon's Fist of the Beast King attack to break in but Jeri rejects him until the very last second because he's not Leomon. He gets badly hurt afterwards by an attack and falls into the Chaos Mass and is thought dead (he was losing data all the way down) but is saved by Grani and de-digivolves back into a badly injured Impmon. He returns in Runaway Locomon in first his original Beelzemon form riding Behemoth trying to get on Locomon (he fails and Behemoth is once again destroyed) and then in Blast Mode during the final battle using his Corona Blaster attack (apparently he got another gun as his original was destroyed: maybe Mako gave him another toy gun that transformed) and destroying two Parasimon that were about to kill Suzie and Lopmon.

 Attacks: 
 * Corona Blaster (Death Slinger): Fires a powerful energy blast from his cannon.
 * Corona Destroyer (Chaos Flare): Draws an inverted pentagram with his cannon and fires energy blasts through it.
 * Darkness Claw Slashes claws at enemy.
 * Double Impact Rapidly shoots guns
 * Fist of the Beast King: Absorbed from Leomon, he used it only when he was trying to rescue Jeri from the D-Reaper, after his cannons were destroyed by D-Reaper. Unfortunately it had the effect of driving her away from him.
