Myotismon is a fictional character who serves as a major villain throughout several iterations of the Digimon Adventure continuity.
Description
Myotismon is dressed elegantly as a gentleman. His looks and mannerisms are styled after a vampire.
In the Japanese version, Myotismon refers to himself as "watashi" (私?), a very formal pronoun, but after becoming MaloMyotismon he uses "ore-sama" (俺様?), a very informal pronoun.
Myotismon enforces loyalty among his servants by inflicting torture upon them as punishment for the smallest signs of rebellion, and sadistically executes even his loyal servants should they fail in their task, or even simply cease to be of use to him. DemiDevimon alone escapes relatively unscathed because of his loyalty and usefulness.
Myotismon feeds on the fresh or deleted data of his victims, though he developed a taste for human blood during his stay in Odaiba, causing his victims to appear to have been afflicted with sudden anemia.
His power is nullified in the sunlight, but he can overcome this by summoning a fog around his location, although its reach seems to have limits, as he is only able to isolate a city block rather than the entire town.
He has some measure of telekinetic ability, such as halting and crushing a rock thrown at his head, and can block almost any attack with the aid of his magical abilities, unless they surprise him or are holy in nature. Even then, he is able to resist the attacks to a greater extent than other dark-based Digimon, such as, one of his main servants, Phantomon. Even after being destroyed, Myotismon can re-establish himself if he manages to recover enough energy from the damage he received, absorb massive amounts of data from external sources, and have some of his essence still remaining on an ethereal form.
Out of all enemies to the DigiDestined, he proved the most difficult to defeat as far as Ultimates presented themselves and rivalling any other evil Mega Digimon on both of his Mega-levelled forms.
Attacks
- Grisly Wing (Night Raid): Manipulates a countless swarm of bats, and begins a surprise attack.
- Crimson Lightning (Bloody Stream): Uses a stream of blood like a whip.
- Nightmare Claw (Dead Scream): Sends out a black, ghost-like entity that turns the victim black and paralyzes them.
Fiction
Anime
Myotismon was created, along with Devimon and Etemon, by the initial period of chaos Apocalymon instilled within the Digital World and served as one of the first real enemies of the DigiDestined.
Before he encountered the DigiDestined, Myotismon was the one responsible for conditioning Salamon and later Gatomon into a loyal minion by torturing her for even the slightest signs of disloyalty or rebellion. He also took hold of the castle where the Agents had once worked, which contained a gateway to the Real World. The Ultimate Clash
After the DigiDestined arrived on Server and defeated Etemon, he sent his minion DemiDevimon to try to keep them separated while keeping himself hidden, because he had learned of a prophecy that he would be destroyed by the Eighth DigiDestined Child. However, Tai starts pulling the group back together, despite DemiDevimon's best efforts, for which Myotismon frequently tortures him.
When the kids finally reunite as one group, Myotismon appears in person to attack, but although he initially held the upper hand against their Champion Digimon, he is surprised when the last child, Sora, finally awakens her Crest and causes Birdramon to become Garudamon, who manages to hold him off long enough for everyone to escape. Sora's Crest of Love
He later enacts plans to enter the Real World, taking many of his henchmen with him, to find and kill the eighth child. The Gateway To Home
However, the DigiDestined follow him, and for the next two days (August 1 and August 2), the two groups race to find the child. To his frustration, his minions prove unsuccessful in finding the child, and many of them are killed during their searching.
On the night of August 2, Myotismon learns of Gatomon's relation to the Eighth Child. The Eighth Child Revealed He then uses his power to isolate Odaiba from the rest of Tokyo through a thick fog screen, which also serves to isolate some of the DigiDestined and make it harder for them to stop him. Flower Power
After identifying the Eighth Child, Kari, who was actually Tai's little sister, Myotismon easily overpowers the combined forces of the DigiDestined's partner Digimon. When Myotismon kills Wizardmon, Kari's Crest of Light gives Gatomon the power she needs to digivolve to Angewomon, who gathers the other Digimons' power with Heaven's Charge and forms it into her Celestial Arrow. Like a mythological vampire, Myotismon is killed when Angewomon's arrows pierces him through the heart. Wizardmon's Gift
Despite this, Myotismon is not yet truly defeated. After Myotismon's apparent defeat, Gennai sends Izzy and the other DigiDestined an e-mail detailing an ancient prophecy while they're still on the roof of the Fuji TV station. The ancient text was translated by Gennai as follows:
- The sky will be darkened by the wings of many bats.
- The fallen people will invoke the name of the Undead Digimon King
- And when the clock strikes the Hour of the Beast,
- The Undead King will reveal himself in his true form, as the Beast.
- Then angels will shoot arrows of Hope and Light at the loved ones of those they have been sent to protect
- And a miracle will happen.
This prophecy comes to fruition through Myotismon's resurrection into VenomMyotismon and his defeat at the hands of the newly warp digivolved WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon with the DigiDestined using their Crests to hold the monster at bay so the two Digimon can land the final blow. Prophecy The Battle for Earth
However, with only his physical form destroyed, Myotismon's data ghost survived and entered the body of Yukio Oikawa. Oikawa's Shame
On December 31, Myotismon is revived by Millenniummon. He kidnapped Kari, Joe, Matt, and their Digimon, and took them to the Server Continent. He is then defeated by Ryo Akiyama. Digimon Adventure: Anode/Cathode Tamer
From inside Oikawa, wiping out his memories of their meeting, Myotismon monitored the events of Digimon 02 prior to emerging from Oikawa's body and using the Dark Spores to complete restore himself in the form of MaloMyotismon Oikawa's Shame
But losing his physical body once more when the former Dark Spore children embrace their dreams while dealing with the nations' DigiDestined, Myotismon is finally destroyed by Imperialdramon. A Million Points of Light

PSP game
For the most part, Myotismon plays the same role as in the anime. He features as a boss in chapters corresponding to the episodes "Sora's Crest of Love" and "Wizardmon's Gift", and as VenomMyotismon in "Prophecy"/"The Battle for Earth". Deviating from the anime plot, VenomMyotismon is also one of six past bosses that have to be fought again in the chapter corresponding to "Now Apocalymon".
Other forms
VenomMyotismon
VenomMyotismon is Myotismon's first Mega form.
After his apparent death by Angewomon, with his mask remaining, Myotismon is revived by his bats loading the data of his remaining minions and merging onto his mask. By the time his bats integrate into him, Myotismon is reborn as VenomMyotismon.
Swallowing DemiDevimon as he was no longer needed, VenomMyotismon overpowers MetalGreymon and WereGarurumon before the two are enabled to assume their mega forms as the other DigiDestined Digimon arrive.
Though he had the upper hand after revealing his true form, VenomMyotismon is restrained by the DigiDestined with WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon dealing the final blow. Prophecy The Battle for Earth
However, it would later be revealed that Myotismon's data ghost survived his physical death. Oikawa's Shame
MaloMyotismon
MaloMyotismon is Myotismon's second Mega form.
A form that he assumed after leaving Oikawa's body and absorbing the Dark Spores, the newly reborn MaloMyotismon tests his new powers out by torturing and killing his own minion Arukenimon before destroying a revenge-driven Mummymon when he attempts to fight him. Oikawa's Shame
Though the other second generation DigiDestined are initially too afraid to fight him, their courage is restored when Davis and Exveemon fight MaloMyotismon.
However, MaloMyotismon attempts to end this by subjecting the humans to Mental Illusion to entrap each DigiDestined in a personal prison of their desires.
Davis, whose desire is to defeat MaloMyotismon, is able to tap into the powers of the dream dimension, freeing his friends and showing them how to manifest the multiple Digivolution forms of their partners.
Eventually the fight moves to the Digital World, where Myotismon uses its darkness to enlarge. The Last Temptation of the DigiDestined
Just as all hope seems lost, the DigiDestined from all over the world use the light from their Digivices to empower their Digimon partners present in the Digital World before joining their partners and using their Digivices on MaloMyotismon.
Though he attempts to undo the damage by using the Dark Spore children's dark thoughts of despair, MaloMyotismon ends up losing his physical form when second generation Japanese DigiDestined are able to help the Dark Spore children overcome their negative emotions and embrace their dreams, allowing them to become DigiDestined with their own partners and Digivices.
From there, empowered by the Digivices, Imperialdramon Fighter Mode uses a fully-powered Giga Crusher to completely destroy Myotismon's essence, obliterating him, this time for good. A Million Points of Light
