Orochimon is a Demon 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.[3]
Attacks

- Inferno Blast: Spews out a powerful blaze.
- Ame no Murakumo: Turns the tip of its tail into a sharp blade, then cuts the opponent to pieces.
Design
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. It was adopted from a winning entry in the "Bandai-Town FAX Service Digimon Illustration Contest" which belonged to Noritake Furuta from Niigata Prefecture.
