Lopmon is a fictional character from the Digimon franchise, the "twin sibling" of Terriermon, despite having different colors and more horns. While Terriermon is an over-confident sort and tends to make sarcastic remarks, Lopmon is shy and polite. Lopmon spoke in an antiquated dialect in the Japanese version that lacked gender-differing pronouns. It should also be noted that while Terriermon is a dog with rabbit's ears, Lopmon is an actual rabbit digimon.

[edit] Evolution

Fresh (Baby I) - Conomon
In-Training (Baby II) - Kokomon
Rookie (Child) - Lopmon
Champion (Adult) - Wendigomon, Turuiemon
Ultimate (Perfect) - Antylamon
Mega (Ultimate) - Cherubimon

Note: Wendigomon, Antylamon, and the virus-type Cherubimon are all the result of a virus that corrupted Kokomon in Digimon: Hurricane Touchdown that caused him to mutate (digivolve) into the three corrputed forms. Towards the end of the movie, the virus was destroyed, and the virus Cherubimon then became the vaccine-type, and turned into a digi-egg. Right before the end credits, Willis sees a purified version of Wendigomon dancing by the water. A purified Antylamon is also seen in the third season of Digimon as one of the twelve devas, thus proving the true evolution of Lopmon as Conomon, Kokomon, Lopmon, Wendigomon, Antylamon, then Cherubimon. Turuiemon was added simply for the card game as an alternative champion form of Lopmon, and it should be noted that Turuiemon has no relation whatsoever to Lopmon, Antylamon or Cherubimon in any of the Digimon series other than the card game.

[edit] Attacks

[edit] Digimon 02: Digimon Hurricane Touchdown/Supreme Evolution! The Golden Digimentals

Lopmon is one of Willis' Digimon partners in Hurricane Touchdown, the other being Terriermon. He was infected with a virus and driven mad, so Willis was forced to destroy him. He digivolved first to Wendigomon, then to Antylamon, and finally Cherubimon but was destroyed by Magnamon and Rapidmon, the Golden Armor forms of Veemon and Terriermon respectively. After Cherubimon's defeat, Willis and Terriermon found a digiegg which hatched into Lopmon.

[edit] Digimon Tamers

In the American version, Lopmon was changed to and written as a girl. This was based on the fact that his Japanese voice actor was female, and due to the fact that Lopmon used genderless pronouns (due to the dialect assigned to the character). By the time the truth was discovered, it was too late to change it back.

Lopmon is the Digimon partner of Suzie, Henry's little sister. But prior to their meeting, Lopmon was Antylamon of the Devas, whose job was as guardian of the south gate leading to Zhuqiaomon's palace. When Suzie first met Antylamon, she was somewhat of a bothersome to her, pestering her with questions and such, but after spending some time together, they developed a special bond. When Antylamon's fellow deva, Makuramon, appeared and tried to harm Suzie, Antylamon drove him away. As punishment, Zhuqiaomon reverted her to Lopmon for protecting a human, and she became a partner to Suzie.

When the Tamers confronted Zhuqiaomon, Lopmon pleaded with Zhuqiaomon not to kill them. Regardless, he unleashed a blast of flame on Lopmon although in the end she was saved by WarGrowlmon. Lopmon, like the other Tamer Digimon, went to the Real World and Suzie taught her a few lessons in speaking correctly. When the D-Reaper appeared, Lopmon regained her ability to Digivolve to Antylamon to help out.
