Wormmon (Adventure)

Wormmon is a fictional character from the Digimon franchise. It is the digimon partner of Ken Ichijouji, and one of the main characters from the Digimon anime season Digimon Adventure 02.

Appearance
Wormmon is a small green worm-like creature. Like a real insect, Wormmon possesses the ability to adhere to surfaces and is also able to generate silk from its mouth.

Description
Wormmon is a main character in Digimon Adventure 02, and also appears in the movie Diablomon Strikes Back.

Wormmon's story begun when a young Ken Ichijouji was sucked into the Digital World for the first time via his brother's computer. Ken, along with Ryo Akiyama, travelled together with their Digimon through the Digital World desert, where they battled and defeated Millenniummon. With its death, Millenniummon released the Dark Spores, one of which burrowed inside Ken's neck.

The next time Wormmon met Ken, the boy had assumed the guise of the Digimon Emperor. Although Ken, as the Digimon Emperor, treated Wormmon cruelly; Wormmon still chose to stand by him out of friendship and loyalty. However, when Kimeramon was finally created and went on a swathe of destruction across the Digital World, Wormmon finally decided to make a final attempt to save Ken by disobeying him. Wormmon led Davis and Veemon to the Digi-Egg of Miracles, which turned Veemon into Magnamon. Ken still refusing to give up and with Magnamon losing, Wormmon took drastic measures and surrendered all its life force to Magnamon. This gave Magnamon enough power to kill Kimeramon, but it cost Wormmon its life.

Wormmon was reborn as a Digi-Egg in Primary Village and reunited with its partner Ken. Ken then vowed to fix the damage he had caused, but discovered that he was only being used by Arukenimon to establish the Control Spires. To fight the monsters created from the towers, Wormmon achieved the power to Digivolve to its champion form - Stingmon. The two became official members of the team when Stingmon merged with ExVeemon to form Paildramon. With Azulongmon's power, Paildramon was later able to Digivolve further into Imperialdramon.

Of all the protagonist Digimon of Digimon Adventure 02, Wormmon is the only one to have the Virus attribute; in fact, Wormmon was the first known Virus type partner Digimon in the Digimon anime series.

Leafmon


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

Leafmon is small and green, and has a long tail resembling a leaf. This is where the name "Leafmon" comes from. It has two small ears on its round head and a pink pacifier. Like most baby level Digimon, Leafmon has small black eyes and two round pink cheeks under its eyes.

Attacks 


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



Minomon


Minomon is Wormmon's In-Training form. The name "Minomon" comes from the Japanese word "minomushi", which refers to the larval form of an insect called "minoga".

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

Attacks 


 * Pincone Attack (Pinecone): An attack that involves shooting pine cone projectiles at its enemies.

Stingmon


Stingmon is Wormmon's natural champion form. Stingmon first appeared when Arukenimon began her reign of terror by creating unliving Digimon out of Control Spires. At first, Stingmon and Ken worked alone to destroy these Digimon and the Control Spires, but eventually they teamed up with the other DigiDestined. Stingmon made its first appearance when one of the Control Spire Digimon, Thundermon, attacked Primary Village.

Unlike its earlier form Wormmon, Stingmon is a formidable fighter with a cool and collected personality.

Attacks 
 * Spiking Strike (Spiking Finish): The spikes on Stingmon's shoulders stand up and a pink energy spike on his forearm activates. Stingmon uses this spike to impale his enemies.



Paildramon


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

Wormmon and Veemon 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 its hips.
 * Sting Strike (Esgreamer): Attacks with the spikes on its arms.
 * Cable Catcher: Fires off its claws and binds its enemy.

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's enormous power allowed it to help send digimon who had been appearing in the Real World back to the Digimon World.

Imperialdramon was also responsible for transporting the DigiDestined around the world so they could help the Chosen Children of other countries. It was through Imperialdramon that MaloMyotismon was finally destroyed at the very end of Digimon Adventure 02.

Attacks 


 * Positron Laser: Fires a huge laser blast from the cannon on its back.
 * Mega Crusher (Mega Death): Fires a powerful blast from its mouth.



Imperialdramon Fighter Mode


Imperialdramon Fighter Mode is an alternate form of Imperialdramon. The Fighter Mode gives Imperialdramon a more human shape and more precise control over its immense power.

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 was powerful enough to kill SkullSatamon, fight Daemon and help WarGreymon fight BlackWarGreymon.

Imperialdramon Paladin Mode


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

Imperialdramon Paladin Mode appears in the digimon movie Diablomon 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 by Armageddemon, 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.

Attacks 
 * Omni Sword (Omega Blade): Strikes its opponents with its Holy Blade. The Sword contains Omnimon's power.
