Appmon

Appmon (アプモン), short for Appli Monsters (アプリモンスターズ), are digital lifeforms central to Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters. They are similar to but are related to  apps. Every Appmon has two retractable cables somewhere on its body, which it uses to applink with other Appmon, except Flickmon,Swipemon, and Tapmon, who can't applink, and an Appmon Chip specific to it.

Grade
Each Appmon is assigned a Grade, analogous to the Digimon concept of level. The four current grades are:
 * 1) Standard (並 / スタンダード)
 * 2) Super (超 / スーパー)
 * 3) Ultimate (極 / アルティメット)
 * 4) God (神 / ゴッド)

Type
Each Appmon is classified into one of seven types, analogous to the Digimon concept of attribute. Each type relates to an app genre. The seven types are:
 * Social (ソーシャル)
 * Navi (ナビ)
 * Tool (ツール)
 * System (システム)
 * Game (ゲーム)
 * Entertainment (エンタメ)
 * Life (ライフ)

Each type is strong against and weak to another; the advantage chain is as follows: Social → Navi → Tool → System → Game → Entertainment → Life → Social. God Appmon, however, are classified as God type.

Appli
Each Appmon represents a particular app, known as the appli field and analogous to a Digimon's type. Each appli, thus far, is unique and has its own icon, similar to the app icon on smartphones.

Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters
Appmon are "app lifeforms" that inhabit the. There is one species for each app, and individuals are assigned to a specific app of the type. For example, Ropuremon are responsible for s, and each Ropuremon is assigned to a specific RPG, such as Fantasy Saga or Amusing! Exciting Dungeon. Each member of the same species is different, although the basic parts of the their appearance are the same. Every Appmon is capable of performing Applink with another Appmon, however, out of the infinite possible combinations, a specific chosen duo performs App Fusion instead, and become an Appmon of the next grade. A failed App Fusion results in.
