[edit] Appearance

Impmon is a small humanoid imp creature with a tail and large pointed ears. He wears a pair of red gloves and a matching red scarf.

[edit] Description

At the beginning of Digimon Tamers, Impmon was a trouble making digimon who spent most of his time picking on humans, and later harassing the Tamers and their Digimon. Impmon seemed to dislike humans, saying that no 'self-respecting Digimon' would ever ally themselves to one. It is revealed later in the series that Impmon is in fact the Digimon partner of two children - Ai and Mako. Impmon had run away from the two after they had continuously quarreled over him.

Impmon had resented the Tamers and their Digimon because they, unlike Impmon, where able to Digivolve. He tried to prove himself by fighting Indramon, but suffered a devastating defeat. With his ego crushed, Impmon readily accepted the Deva Chatsuramon's offer. Chatsuramon offered Impmon the ability to digivolve, but in return, Impmon will have to kill the Tamers and their Digimon.

Impmon is granted the power to become Beelzemon, a mega-level digimon who becomes the Sovereign Zhuqiaomon's personal assassin. Beelzemon eventually meets up with the Tamers and kills Leomon, Jeri's Digimon partner. This inspires Guilmon and Takato to bio-merge into Gallantmon, who fought an intense battle against Beelzemon. Gallantmon wins the battle, but spares Beelzemon on Jeri's request.

Beelzemon, in his weakened state, de-digivolves into Impmon again. Luckily, he encounters Renamon and Rika, who decide to bring Impmon back into the Real World. After being not only spared but saved by the people he had once hated, Impmon begins to have a change of heart and decides to instead help the tamers. With their help, Impmon Digivolves once again and becomes Beelzemon Blast Mode

At the end of the series, after the D-Reaper's destruction, Impmon at last asks Jeri for forgiveness. She agrees, leaving Impmon finally at peace with the humans.

Attacks

Badda-Boom (Night of Fire): Impmon creates a small fire ball at his finger tips then hurls it at the opponent.
Infernal Funnel (Summon): Impmon creates two rings of fire, one within the other, and creates a sphere of fire from the ring, which he then hurls at the target.

[edit] Other forms

The name "Impmon" refers to only the rookie form of this digimon. Throughout the series, Impmon gains the ability to Digivolve into other more powerful forms (with different names).

Since Impmon Digivolves directly to his mega form Beelzemon, his champion and ultimate forms are unknown.

[edit] Yaamon

Yaamon (ヤアモン)

Yaamon is Impmon's In-Training form. The name "Yaamon" could come from the Japanese word "yancha", meaning mischievous. Impmon De-Digivolved into Yaamon after the defeat of the D-Reaper, and returned to the Digital World. -

[edit] Beelzemon

Beelzemon redirects here. This section refers to the Beelzemon featured in Digimon Tamers. A Beelzemon also appears as one of the Seven Great Demon Lords.

Beelzemon (ベルゼブモン Beelzebumon)

Beelzemon is the Mega form of Impmon. Beelzemon's name is derived from Beelzebub, the Hebrew word for Lord of the Flies and a word which is often synonymous with devil.

Beelzemon appears when Impmon accepts Chatsuramon's offer. With this new power, Impmon is able to Warp Digivolve into his mega form. Renamon was the first he encountered, and recognised him as Impmon. However, the ensuing battle was interrupted by a fierce storm created by the reactivation of the unstable Juggernaut program.

Beelzemon appears again at the entrance to Zhuqiaomon's Red Tower to hinder Takato and his group. During the fight that ensued, Beelzemon impaled Leomon, killing him and loading his data. Takato went into a rage and caused WarGrowlmon to Digivolved into Megidramon. At first, Megidramon seemed to match Beelzemon evenly. However, when Makuramon appeared to berate Beelzemon, he was killed and his data used to increase Beelzemon's strength. This allowed Beelzemon to find off Megidramon and nearly kill Taomon and Rapidmon.

However, Takato and Guilmon where able to Biomerge in time to form Gallantmon for the first time. The newly formed Gallantmon was able to defeat Beelzemon. Beelzemon would have been killed if not for Jeri's request that he be spared.

Beelzemon reflected on the events in his life that led up to this point and leaves, wandering the desert with the image of Jeri haunting his mind. This left him vulnerable to the revenge of Chrysalimon, who siphoned his energy and left behind a beaten and defeated Impmon.

Attacks

Double Impact: Rapidly fires his two Berenjena shotguns.
Darkness Claw: Attacks enemies using his claws.
Primal Orb: After copying Makuramon's data, Beelzemon is able to use his attack, which conceals his enemies in inescapable bubbles.

[edit] Behemoth

Behemoth (べヒーモス)

Behemoth is a dark motorcycle that can control its rider. Behemoth's origins are unknown, but it first appeared with the Tamers encountered it in the Digital World. Behemoth had been piloted by a possessed MetalKoromon. It was constantly rampaging through the village of Chuchidarumon, which the Tamers came across. Guilmon managed to jump onto it and remove the mesmerized driver, only to fall under the spell himself. Thanks to the efforts of the Tamers, Guilmon was freed, and Behemoth fell into a pool of lava.

To everyone's surprise, it emerged again, this time with the recently Digivolved Beelzemon as its rider. Unlike other Digimon, it seems Beelzemon is not affected by Behemoth's mind-controlling abilities. Behemoth served as Beelzemon's mode of transportation, giving him a serious advantage in terms of speed.

[edit] Beelzemon Blast Mode

Beelzemon Blast Mode

After De-Digivolving from Beelzemon, Impmon is found by Rika and Renamon, who brings him back to the Real World. Impmon is eventually reunited with Ai and Mako, who apologise to him for all their fighting (which had led to his desertion). When the D-Reaper finally appeared in Shinjuku, Impmon leaves to help the other Tamer digimon. Ai and Mako sends him their best wishes and a small toy gun.

As Impmon runs towards the battle, his determination caused him to Digivolve once again to Beelzemon. The gun, energized by his Mega form, transforms into a huge blaster, Death Slinger. Beelzemon finishes his digivolution into his winged Blast Mode.

Attacks:

Corona Blaster (Death Slinger): Fires a powerful energy blast from his cannon.
Corona Destroyer (Chaos Flare): Draws an inverted pentagram with his cannon and fires energy blasts through it.
Fist of the Beast King: Absorbed from Leomon, he used it only when he was trying to rescue Jeri from the D-Reaper, after his cannons were destroyed by D-Reaper.
