[edit] Appearance

Hawkmon is a small bird-like Digimon with red feathers and large yellow feet. He has clear blue eyes, and wears a belt around his forehead.

[edit] Description

Hawkmon is a main character in Digimon Adventure 02, and also appears in its two related movies The Golden Digimentals and Diablomon Strikes Back.

Hawkmon, along with Veemon and Armadillomon, are the three Digimon of ancient times who were sealed away by the Sovereign Azulongmon, to be awakened again in a time of crisis. Hawkmon was freed when Yolei lifted the Digi-egg of Love.

Later in Digimon Adventure 02, Hawkmon gains the ability to assume a second Armor form - Shurimon, from the Digi-Egg of Sincerity. After the defeat of the Digimon Emperor, Hawkmon's natural champion form is unlocked, as well as the ability to DNA Digivolve with Gatomon.

Attacks

  • Feather Strike (Feather Slash): Throws his head-feather like a boomerang.

[edit] Other Forms

The name "Hawkmon" refers to only the rookie form of this digimon. Throughout the series, Hawkmon gains the ability to Digivolve into a number of more powerful forms (each with a different name). The rookie form, however, is his most common and preferred form.

[edit] Pururumon

Pururumon (プルルモン)
Pururumon (プルルモン)

Pururumon is the fresh form of Hawkmon. Pururumon appears when Silphymon loses so much power that Hawkmon is no longer able to maintain his Rookie form. His name comes from the Japanese word "purupuru," which means to shake or to shiver.

Attacks

  • Bubble Blow (Acid Bubbles): Fires acid bubbles from his mouth.

[edit] Poromon

Poromon (ポロモン)
Poromon (ポロモン)

Poromon is Hawkmon's In-Training form. The name "Poromon" comes from the Japanese word "porori", meaning to drop something.

Hawkmon takes on his In-Training form whenever he returns to the Real World with Yolei. Poromon also sometimes appears when Hawkmon is forced to de-digivolve after a particularly difficult battle.

Attacks

  • Baby Breeze (Pororo Breeze)

[edit] Halsemon

Halsemon (ホルスモン Horusmon)
Halsemon (ホルスモン Horusmon)

Halsemon, the "Wings of Love", is the form that Hawkmon becomes when he Armor Digivolves using the Digi-Egg of Love. Halsemon's name is derived from Horus, an ancient Egyptian bird god.

Hawkmon first became Halsemon on the day of his revival,[1] when the Digimon Emperor abducted Davis. It was Yolei's love that evoked the Digi-Egg's power, allowing Hawkmon to Armor Digivolve to Halsemon. After that, Halsemon became a valuable fighter during the Digimon Emperor's reign of terror. Yolei also travels by flying on Halsemon's back.

Once Ken renounced his evil persona, Halsemon was no longer needed and appeared only rarely. This was because Hawkmon was now able to achieve his natural Champion form - Aquilamon. [2]

Attacks

  • Mach Impulse: Halsemon releases blades of pressurized wind from the wings on his helmet to slash into enemies.
  • Tempest Wing: Halsemon spins around, creating a tornado with which to attack his enemy.
  • Eagle Eye (Red Sun): Halsemon fires glowing energy arrows from his eyes which can smite or paralyze his opponents.

[edit] Shurimon

Shurimon (シュリモン)
Shurimon (シュリモン)

Shurimon, the "Samurai of Sincerity", is the form that Hawkmon becomes when he Armor Digivolves using the Digi-Egg of Sincerity. Shurimon's name is derived from the ninja weapon Shuriken.

Hawkmon first became Shurimon on the day when they found the Digi-Egg of Sincerity, when Digitamamon was under the control of the Dark Spiral. Yolei's expression of her sincere feelings about Digitamamon caused the Digi-Egg to rise from its hiding place, allowing Hawkmon to Armor Digivolve to Shurimon.

Once Ken renounced his evil persona, Shurimon was no longer needed and appeared only rarely. This was because Hawkmon was now able to achieve his natural Champion form - Aquilamon.

Attacks

  • Double Stars (草薙 Kusanagi): Shurimon throws two of his shuriken at his foes with amazing force. The stars will then slice through his opponent.
  • Ninja Wind (紅葉おろし Autumn Down-blow): Shurimon transforms his body into a hurricane of sharp leaves and small shuriken which slice his opponents to pieces. He can also teleport with this attack.

[edit] Aquilamon

Aquilamon (アクィラモン)
Aquilamon (アクィラモン)

Aquilamon is Hawkmon's natural Champion form. The name "Aquilamon" comes from 'Aquila', the Latin word for eagle.

Hawkmon first Digivolved to Aquilamon to save a dam from being destroyed by a Golemon created by Arukenimon. Since then, Aquilamon has appeared more than Halsemon and Shurimon to battle the new Digimon enemies created by Arukenimon. During the chaos BlackWarGreymon created, Aquilamon and Gatomon became the second pair to DNA Digivolve and form Silphymon.

Attacks

  • Blast Rings (Blast Laser): Fires ring-like rays with a sharp cry from his mouth.
  • Grand Horn (Glide Horn): Aquilamon's horns, gathering energy, turn red and then he attacks, ramming the opponent with his horns.

[edit] Silphymon

Silphymon (シルフィーモン)
Silphymon (シルフィーモン)

Silphymon is an Ultimate level Digimon who is the DNA Digivolved form of Aquilamon and Gatomon, combining the features and attributes of a Bird type Digimon with that of a Beast type. Some of Silphymon's recognizable parts are Gatomon's ears, and Aquilamon's wing-top feathers on the arms and legs.

Silphymon was first formed when Yolei, Kari and Ken were trapped within the Dark Ocean and attacked by a Blossomon created by Arukenimon. Kari was too frightened to move but Yolei managed to snap her out of it and told her that as long they were friends, Kari was safe. At that moment, the hearts of Yolei and Kari were beating as one, causing their Digimon partners to merge. The newly formed Silphymon managed to destroy Blossomon and get everyone back into the regular Digital World. Silphymon eventually became essential to fight the likes of Arukenimon, Mummymon and BlackWarGreymon.

Attacks

  • Static Force (Top Gun): Creates an energy ball that is fired from the hands at the opponent.
  • Astro Laser (Dual Sonic): A duplicate of Silphymon's body is created using energy and fired on the opponent.
