Entmon is a Vegetation Digimon. It is a Digimon with a body woven and fused together from decayed trees. Its whole body is corroded in several places, and mold grows on parts where the bark is exposed. Its body is packed with a large number of insects, acting as the muscles that move its body around. It is very terrifying to see the insects spill out of the joints all over its body each time it takes off with its dead leaf wings.[1]
Attacks
- Dryad Stinger: Skewers the enemy with its sharp stake-like tusk.
- Blasted Disaster: Spews a dark miasma which completely withers the opponent's body. The true form of the miasma is countless tiny insects that turn a Digimon's data into nourishment.

Etymologies[]
- Entmon (エントモン)
Official romanization given by the Digimon Reference Book and used in the franchise.
- From Ent, a race of beings in J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy world Middle-earth that closely resemble trees, and Entomo, a combining form meaning “insect,” used in the formation of the compound word, entomology, which is from the Ancient Greek ἔντομον (lit. "Entomon"), meaning 'insect', and -λογία (lit. "-logia"), meaning 'study of'
Development[]
Entmon was designed by Mr K from Plex. Its design came from a request to have a "SkullGreymon like Digimon in the forest".[2] Its original design had its face resembling SkullGreymon and it lacked its wings.[3]
Fiction[]
Digimon Adventure:[]
An Entmon served as Petaldramon’s arch nemesis. Its bugs attack the Digidestined and their partners, only for Gatomon to interfere and drive them away. During the final confrontation with Petaldramon, Entmon reveals itself and manages to get the upper hand against Petaldramon, almost killing it. But Kari and Angewomon helped Petaldramon with her Heaven’s Charm to power up Petaldramon and nobly sacrificed itself to triumphantly defeat Entmon, turning them both into a lifeless green mountain.
