Veemon (Adventure)

Veemon is a Digimon creature from the Japanese Digimon media franchise that comprises anime, manga, toys, video games, trading card games and other media.

"Veemon" is the name that all members of this particular Digimon species share. There are several different Veemon that appear in various Digimon anime and manga series.

The most well-known appearance of Veemon is in the Digimon Adventure 02 anime as the partner of Davis Motomiya, who had previously been the partner of Ryo Akiyama in a WonderSwan game.

The Veemon of Digimon Adventure 02 also appears in all the Digimon Adventure 02 related movies.

Appearance
Veemon is a 2-feet tall humanoid lizard-like creature. Its has mostly blue skin, with a white belly and mouth. Veemon's head is large and roughly spherical, with two conical fleshy appendages attached to the back, possibly acting as ears. A small horn pokes where its nose would be.

Veemon has large, 5-fingered hands with short white claws, as well as 3-toed feet with stout claws. The yellow V-shaped mark between its large pinkish eyes is where the name "Veemon" comes from.

In the English dub, Veemon speaks with a slight lisp. This is mostly evident in how it pronounces its partner's name as "Davish".

Of all the Adventure/02 digimon, Veemon is the one with the most affinity for hand-to-hand combat, due to both its attacks and its personality. Veemon also demonstrates a persistent romantic interest in Gatomon.(In episode 22 he have a dream that he and Gatomon were dancing and in episode 38 of the english verson Ken teases him about him and Gatomon under the mistletoe.)

Description


Veemon is a main character in Digimon Adventure 02, and also appears in its two related movies The Golden Digimentals and Diablomon Strikes Back.

Veemon, along with Hawkmon and Armadillomon, are the three Digimon of ancient times who were sealed away by the Sovereign Azulongmon, to be awakened again in a time of crisis. Veemon was freed in the first episode of Digimon Adventure 02 when Davis lifted the Digi-egg of Courage.

Throughout Digimon Adventure 02, Veemon gains the ability to assume three different Armor forms - one from each of the three Digi-Eggs that its partner Davis acquires. After the defeat of the Digimon Emperor, Veemon's natural champion form is unlocked, as well as the ability to DNA Digivolve with Stingmon.

In Diaboromon Strikes Back, Veemon (in the form of Imperialdramon) is able to reach the Imperialdramon Paladin Mode form after Omnimon donated its power to Imperialdramon.

Attacks
 * Vee-Headbutt (V-mon Head): Charges and headbutts the opponent with tremendous force

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

Chibomon


Chibomon is the fresh form of Veemon. Chibomon appears when Paildramon or Imperialdramon lose so much power that Veemon and Wormmon are no longer able to maintain their Rookie forms.

Attacks
 * Bubble Blow (Acid Bubbles): An attack that involves firing bubbles from its mouth.



DemiVeemon


DemiVeemon is Veemon's In-Training form. The name "DemiVeemon" comes from the word "Demi", meaning half; and "Vee", referring to the yellow "V" present on Veemon's forehead.

Veemon takes on its In-Training form whenever it returns to the Real World with Davis. DemiVeemon also sometimes appears when Veemon is forced to de-digivolve after a particularly difficult battle.

Attacks
 * Hop Attack: A full body tackle.

Flamedramon
The name 'Flamedramon' comes from 'flame' and 'dra' as in dragon.

Flamedramon, the "Fire of Courage", is the form that Veemon takes when it Armor Digivolves using the Digi-egg of Courage.

Flamedramon was Veemon's very first Digivolution, achieved almost as soon as Veemon was unsealed in the first episode of Digimon Adventure 02. Davis's will to protect Kari from an attacking Monochromon initially evoked the Digi-Egg's power, allowing Veemon to Armor Digivolve to Flamedramon to destroy Monochromon's Dark Ring.

After Ken renounced his evil persona, Veemon gained the ability to reach its natural champion form, ExVeemon. ExVeemon took over the role of being Veemon's primary fighting form, and Flamedramon appeared again only a couple of more times.

Flamedramon made its last appearance in the Digimon Adventure 02 finale when the cast was transported to a dimension where (according to Gennai) "wishes can become reality". Here, Veemon was able to digivolve into all of its forms (except Magnamon) at once.

Attacks
 * Fire Rocket: Flamedramon's primary attack. It surrounds itself in an aura of fire and then shoots itself towards its opponent like a rocket. In the English dub, it also shoots fireballs from its fist.
 * Flaming Fist (Knuckle Fire): In the Japanese version, this was the attack that shot fireballs from Flamedramon's fist



Raidramon


Raidramon, the "Storm of Friendship", is formed from Veemon digivolving with the Digi-Egg of Friendship. The Digi-Egg of Friendship first appeared during the fight against the MetalGreymon controlled by the Digimon Emperor. Davis' desire of wanting to help his friends evoked the Digi-Egg's power, allowing Veemon to Armor Digivolve to Raidramon and destroy the Dark Spiral controlling MetalGreymon.

After Ken renounced his evil persona, Veemon was able to Digivolve into its natural champion form ExVeemon. Raidramon was no longer needed as a fighting form, but its speed meant it was used as a means of transportation or to help destroy The Control Spires..

Raidramon made its last appearance in the Digimon Adventure 02 finale when the cast was transported to a dimension where (according to Gennai) "wishes can become reality". Here, Veemon was able to digivolve into all of his forms (except Magnamon) at once.

Attacks
 * Thunder Blast (Lightning Blade): Strikes with a bolt of lightning.
 * Electric Bite: Bites the enemy with it's sharp fangs

Magnamon
Magnamon, is the Golden Armor form of Veemon created by the Digi-Egg of Miracles. Magnamon first appeared during the Digimon Emperor's reign, when the Digimon Emperor's creation, Kimeramon, was wrecking havoc in the Digital World. Wormmon decided to aid the DigiDestined, and led Veemon and Davis to the power source of the Digimon Emperor's base. There, Davis discovered the Golden Digi-Egg of Miracles, and used its power to Digivolve Veemon into Magnamon.

Magnamon was powerful enough to fight Kimeramon, but eventually lost its ground. Wormmon, in a last attempt to make Ken Ichijouji see the error of his ways, managed to free Magnamon by sacrificing the last of its life force. Magnamon, re-energized by Wormmon’s sacrifice, was able to destroy Kimeramon by using its Magna Explosion attack.

Magnamon appears again in the Digimon movie The Golden Digimentals to help Rapidmon (Armor) fight Cherubimon.

Attacks 
 * Magna Blast(er) (Plasma Shoot): Unleashes a large number of energy bullets from its body.
 * Magna Explosion (Extreme Jihad): Unleashes a large energy wave from its body.
 * Magna Punch: A punch attack that results in a small shock wave.
 * Magna Kick: A simple kick attack.



ExVeemon


ExVeemon is Veemon's natural champion form. After the Digimon Emperor was defeated and his block against Digivolution lifted, Davis tried to get Veemon to Digivolve into its champion form in a bid to impress Kari. Naturally, none of these attempts were successful. It wasn't until Davis was about to be killed by an irate Tortomon that Veemon was able to Digivolve to save its partner's life.

From then on, ExVeemon became Veemon's primary fighting form until it and Stingmon unlocked the power of DNA Digivolution.

Attacks
 * Vee-Laser (X-Laser): Fires a laser from the X on its chest.
 * Critical Crunch (Strong Crunch): Bites and crunches the enemy.
 * Vee-Punch/Vee-Kick: In the dub, ExVeemon would sometimes call these out.

Paildramon
Paildramon is an Ultimate level digimon who is the DNA Digivolved form of ExVeemon and Stingmon (Wormmon's champion form), combining the features and attributes of a Dragon type Digimon with that of an Insectoid type. Some of its recognizable parts are ExVeemon's wings, lower legs, and tail; and Stingmon's hands and body.

Veemon and Wormmon are the first of the second generation DigiDestined Digimon to achieve DNA Digivolution. When Ken's former base threatened to explode, Arukenimon attempted to stop the DigiDestined with an Okuwamon she had created. Ken had been willing to throw away his life to undo the damage he caused, but Davis managed to convince him to get over what he did in the past and keep living. At that instant, when the hearts of Davis and Ken were beating as one, ExVeemon and Stingmon were able to merge and form Paildramon.

Paildramon was strong enough to destroy Okuwamon and stop the detonation of Ken's base. For a while, Paildramon was the only ultimate digimon on the DigiDestined's team, and was a valuable ally in their fight against Arukenimon, Mummymon, and later BlackWarGreymon.

Attacks 
 * Desperado Blaster: Fires energy bullets from the weapons on his hips.
 * Cable Catcher (Esgreamer): Fires off its claws and binds his enemy like wires.
 * Sting Strike : Attacks with the spikes on its arms.



Imperialdramon


Imperialdramon is a mega level Digimon who is the Digivolved form of Paildramon. Around Christmas time, Veemon and Wormmon were given power from one of the DigiCores of Azulongmon. This allowed them, as Paildramon, to Digivolve further into Imperialdramon.

Imperialdramon was also responsible for transporting the DigiDestined around the world so they could help the Chosen Children of other countries. Interestingly though Imperialdramon appears to help Sora and Yoeli in Russia even though at the same time, Ken was with Matt in Mexico and Davis was with Mimi and Michael in America. It was through Imperialdramon that MaloMyotismon was finally destroyed at the very end of Digimon Adventure 02.

Attacks
 * Positron Laser: Fires a huge blast of positron energy from the same-name cannon on its back, causing major disaster. It only functions as a "normal" hyperlaser cannon in the Real World, however.
 * Splendor Blade: Imperialdramon slashes at its enemies with blades of energy made within the "spikes" on its arm armor.
 * Mega Crusher (Mega Death): Fires a blast of dark matter from its mouth. The enemy is sucked into the resulting black hole, and is disintegrated to mere particles. Like the Positron Laser however, it only functions as a "normal" dragon breath in the Real World.

Imperialdramon Fighter Mode


Imperialdramon Fighter Mode is an alternate form of Imperialdramon. The Fighter Mode gives Imperialdramon a more human shape. It is also said that his fighting power is tripled.

This form was first achieved in Episode 43 of Digimon Adventure 02. When the evil Digimon Daemon and its Daemon Corps appeared, Imperialdramon was frozen by SkullSatamon. To free Imperialdramon, the Digimon of the older DigiDestined De-Digivolved from their Ultimate forms and gave their remaining power to Imperialdramon, triggering the Mode Change.

Imperialdramon Fighter Mode subsequently slew SkullSatamon, participated in battle against Daemon and BlackWarGreymon, and ultimately destroyed MaloMyotismon. In Digimon movie 4, he appears to fight against Armageddemon, but is unable to defeat him until Omnimon donates his energy and allows Imperialdramon to Digivolve into Paladin Mode.

Attacks
 * Positron Laser: Fires a huge blast of positron energy from the same-name cannon on its right arm, causing major disaster. It only functions as a "normal" hyperlaser cannon in the Real World, however. The attack is more 'laser-ish' upon Fighter and Paladin Modes.
 * Giga Crusher (Giga Death): Transforms the Positron Laser on its arm into a bigger form held by both arms which fires a powerful blast of dark matter on its enemy. Alternately it can fire the same attack when the dragon mouth on its chest opens up with the PL protruding from it to fire a white spherical version.



Imperialdramon Paladin Mode


Imperialdramon Paladin Mode is an even more powerful alternate form of Imperialdramon, achieved after Omnimon gave Imperialdramon Fighter Mode its power in Digimon Movie 4.

Imperialdramon Paladin Mode appears in the digimon movie Diaboromon Strikes Back. Imperialdramon Fighter Mode had been fighting Armageddemon using its Giga Crusher attack. However, it was not strong enough, and ended up injured in Armageddemon's counterattack. Omnimon, who had already been badly injured and nearly torn apart by Armageddemon's laser whips, gave its remaining energy to Imperialdramon. Omnimon's arms separated from its main body to become Agumon and Gabumon again, whilst its main body became the Omni Sword. Imperialdramon Fighter Mode, wielding this sword, turned into Imperialdramon Paladin Mode and defeated Armageddemon. He did this by charging at Armageddemon with his omni sword. He then impaled Armageddemon's nose hole (which was blasted by Omnimon), releasing a sonic explosion that tears Armageddemon into billions of Kuramon that are absorbed by the people's cell phones, then put into the Omni Sword. Armageddemon's death is similar to Diaboromon's, who was also Impaled with the Omni Sword in the nose/head.

Attacks
 * Omni Sword (Omega Blade): Strikes its opponents with the Omega Blade. The Blade may also contain datas of human positive emotions for an extra ability known as the Initialize (an Western Alphabet equivalent of the Digimon Alphabet of these letters are engraved upon the Omega Blade's side).
