Bakemon (Adventure)

Bakemon is a fictional character from the Digimon franchise. He appears as a minor villain in the first season.

Appearance
Bakemon resembles a cross between a zombie and a traditional "bedsheet ghost". It is said to be a product of "Death Evolution", in which a Digimon's data is incompletely deleted, and becomes an undead-type Digimon. Bakemon are also known as the Dancing Spirits.

Digimon Adventure
Joe and Sora, along with their partner Digimon Gomamon and Biyomon, encounter a group of people at a church in the Overdell who are really Bakemon in disguise. The Bakemon wanted to eat the two for their ceremony. When all of the Bakemon merge into Lord Bakemon, a giant Bakemon with blue claws, Biyomon and Gomamon digivolve to Birdramon and Ikkakumon to fight him. With the help of Sora's hat, Joe beats a rhythm while chanting "Bakemon, lose your power," as a mantra. This weakens him, and he is then destroyed by Birdramon and Ikkakumon. Sora reuses the method to weaken the Bakemon guarding the kidnapped adults at the convention center.
