TyrantKabuterimon is an Insect Digimon. It is the "King of Insects" (King of Bugs) which governs all Insect Digimon. Its stronghold, the "Under Forest", exists deep underneath the darkest forest, and it is said that it only moves at night. It is able to manipulate every Insect Digimon at will, so it almost never fights in person. Due to the high density Chrome Digizoid which composes its shell, it is thought to be impossible for ordinary Digimon to even scratch it.[3]
