SkullMeramon

SkullMeramon is a Flame Digimon. A Digivolution of Meramon, its body is surrounded by intensely hot flames. Because the heat of its flames is more intense than Meramon's, the licking flames have taken a blue color. Both its attack and defense strength are improved and with the intense destructive force of its flames, it is a tough Digimon. Fire Digimon are weak to water and ice, but in the face of its flames, water and ice just evaporate.

Attacks
 * Metal Fireball (Heavy Metal Fire): Launches a destructive ball of melted metal from its mouth. Alternatively, it fires blue fire mixed with liquid metal so that it clings to an opponent.
 * Chain of Pain (Heat Chain): Uses one of the chains on its body as a whip.
 * Blazing Iron Whip (ヒートチェーン乱れうち): Uses many chains as whips.

Design
SkullMeramon is a humanoid Digimon. It wears long black pants with red flames on the legs and boots with skull designs on them. Its arms and torso are wrapped in chains, and it wears a skull-like metal mask on its face; only its red eyes and dark blue hair can be seen. Blue flames burn on its upper body.

SkullMeramon's overall appearance seems to be heavily based on Marvel comics superhero/antihero Ghost Rider.
