Basilishotdramon is a Cyberspace Digimon, as well as both a Dragonkin Digimon and a carrier of the X-Antibody. Now that the basilisk data that laid dormant within its DigiCore has finally begun to awaken, this Digimon was granted the first stage of its optical abilities: enhanced kinetic vision. With this, it can now process the world as though it moves in slow motion, but it can only hold this ability for so long before giving out due to eyestrain. This kinetic vision of its serves two purposes: to allow it to dodge attacks and find openings easier, but also, to allow it to process information while moving at max speeds easier, for the speeds at which this Digimon moves make hard for it to keep track of the world around it. As such is now as quick as it is physically strong, and while it still has room to improve, it is a powerful Digimon capable of taking down most foes with ease due to its unique pistol swords. Despite that, its physical strength is still worth noting, as it's due to such strength that is moves as quickly as it does, has the stamina to do so, and has power in its melee attacks. To compliment this, it also is slightly larger than other Ultimate Digimon as well, and also has a prehensile tail with a bayonet-like barb at the end it can use for slicing, stabbing, and even parrying opponents. Furthermore, it can also light this tail on fire. When moving, it's near impossible for Digimon of extremely low Levels, and is still difficult for Digimon of higher levels to keep track of. The dormant data has also changed its temperament, as it’s now more calm and collected than its previous stages, but the main traits from its previous evolutions still dominate this Digimon’s personality, so it's just as confident and curious as ever. Despite this, it also has a darker side to its personality, and can be occasionally cold and ruthless when battling. This is due to the basilisk data within it, and the path that it takes will be up to the Digimon, but regardless, both paths shall let it fufill its role as a "king."
