Orochimon is a Dark Dragon Digimon. It is gigantic and possesses eight heads, though seven of them are dummies, and the black one in the middle is the only real one. The roots of Orochimon's creation are old, and although it was a being such that it raged in all its fury in the ancient Digital World, and drove some areas to devastation, it was sealed by the servant of a "being" which sought to preserve the harmony of the Digital World.[6]
Attacks

Orochimon is an eight-headed serpent, much like the mythological Yamato no Orochi it is derived from. Its body is serpentine, and its tail ends in a rattle like a rattlesnake.

Digimon Liberator DEBUG[]
At some point during Yuuki's rematch with the NPC that used EX7-046: Metallicdramon and EX7-014: Volcanicdramon a copy of EX7-056: Orochimon ended up in Yuuki's trash. Later in the duel, when Volcanicdramon is played via Metallicdramon's on deletion effect, Volcanicdramon's on play effect destroys EX7-060: Nidhoggmon due to it being the Digimon on Yuuki's field with the lowest DP. Yuuki wanted this to happen though as her plan was to protect EX7-062: HeavyMetaldramon alongside using Nidhoggmon's on deletion effect to revive Orochimon. DEBUG.1-2 HEAVY METAL PLAY
