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. They later face Tai and Agumon who break in in a rescue attempt and all of the Bakemon are destroyed when Agumon digivolves to Greymon and destroys them all with one Nova Force.
