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 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 sphere, 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 (though this is perhaps to differentiate his voice from 's, as the two share the same English voice actor). This is mostly evident in how he pronounces his 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 his attacks and his personality.

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. Fighter Mode was forced to kill SkullSatamon with his Positron Laser in order to save a busload of children. It was something the Digidestined regreted as they didn't want to kill, but Imperialdramon had no choice in the matter.

Imperialdramon Fighter Mode subsequently slew SkullSatamon, participated in battle against Daemon and, and ultimately destroyed. In Revenge of Diaboromon, he appears to fight against, but is unable to defeat him until Omnimon donates his energy and allows Imperialdramon to Digivolve into Paladin Mode.

Alternately he can fire the same attack when the dragon mouth on his chest opens up with the PL protruding from it to fire a white spherical version.

Omnimon, who had already been badly injured and nearly torn apart by Armageddemon's laser whips, gave his remaining energy to Imperialdramon. Omnimon's arms separated from his main body to become and  again, whilst his 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, 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 his 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).
