Grumblemon (Frontier)

Grumblemon (Japanese: Grottomon) is a fictional character from the Digimon Frontier series. He is the Legendary Warrior of Earth, using the power of AncientVolcamon. An oni digimon, Grumblemon is a proud figure who hates to be bossed around. He has an overconfident personality and insults his enemies at any chance he gets. He was the first of the Evil Warriors to surface, Slide Evolving to Gigasmon. He managed to take Tommy and Zoe's spirits. In the English version he is so stupid he can't form sentences properly, although he talks normally in the Japanese version.

However, when Takuya first became BurningGreymon, Grumblemon lost his Beast Spirit to Takuya and Tommy regained his spirit. Grumblemon was eventually defeated by J.P. as MetalKabuterimon, who scanned his spirit as Zoe regained hers. Grumblemon's Human Spirit was transferred into Takuya's D-Tector so with the beast spirit, Takuya could Hyper Spirit Evolve to EmperorGreymon.

He was voiced by Tomohiro Nishimura (Japan) and Derek Stephen Prince (US).
