[edit] Abilities

Myotismon is a vampire who feeds on the fresh or deleted data of his victims, though he developed a taste for human blood during his stay in Odaiba. His victims were thought to have been afflicted with sudden anemia. His power depends on the absence of the sun, although he seems to be able to overcome this by creating a fog around wherever he goes. He has demonstrated telekinetic abilities at times (such as halting and crushing a rock thrown at his head with his thoughts). He also once created a palm sized ball of energy that hit Wizardmon.

[edit] Attacks

*English Attacks go first followed by Japanese attacks.

Grisly Wing (Night Raid): Myotismon summons his Alpha Bats (born from his own data) to attack or gather data from his victims.
Crimson Lightning (Bloody Stream): Creates a red energy stream that he can throw out like a whip.
Nightmare Claw (Death Scream): Myotismon sends out a black translucent ghost-like entity that turns the victim black and paralyzes them.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

[edit] Appearances

[edit] Digimon Adventure

Before he encountered the DigiDestined, Myotismon was the one responsible for conditioning Gatomon into a loyal minion through harsh methods when she was Salamon. When it came to the DigiDestined, he used his minion DemiDevimon to try to keep the group separated. He did this because he had learned of the 8th Child, the final member of the DigiDestined, and thus decided to enter the Real World (taking Gatomon, DemiDevimon, his Bakemon henchmen, and Digimon like Mammothmon, Gesomon, Raremon, SkullMeramon, Pumpkinmon, Gotsumon, Wizardmon, Phantomon, DarkTyrannomon, a bunch of Gizamon, MegaSeadramon, Tuskmon and Snimon with him for assistance) to find and kill him. But the DigiDestined followed him and for the next two days (August 1 and August 2), the search for the 8th Child went on. It was not until the night of August 2 that Myotismon learned of Gatomon's relation to the 8th Child and used his power to isolate Odaiba from the rest of Tokyo. Because of this, the DigiDestined were spread out and found it hard to mount an effective strategy against him.

After finding the eighth child, Kari, who was actually the little sister of one of the digidestined, Myotismon easily overpowered the combined forces of MetalGreymon, WereGarurumon, MegaKabuterimon, Lillymon, Garudamon, and Zudomon. Angemon on the other hand managed to cause some damage, but when Myotismon killed Wizardmon, Kari's Crest glowed and Gatomon Digivolved to Angewomon, who destroyed Myotismon with the combined power from the other Digimon's projectile attacks. However, he was not gone entirely.

By reabsorbing his Alpha Bats (which had been consuming every energy source they could find), Myotismon resurrected as VenomMyotismon. By fulfilling the prophecy that foretold Myotismon's resurrection, the DigiDestined managed to evoke the birth of WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon. Although he was killed by WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon, his "spirit" endured and took advantage of Yukio Oikawa by entering the man's body and beginning the trouble that would plague the next season three years later.

[edit] Digimon 02

Myotismon was secretly behind most of the events in 02. After possessing Oikawa, he influenced his host to create Mummymon and Arukenimon which led to Ken becoming the Digimon Emperor and the early events of the series.

At the height of his revenge scheme on December 31, 2002, Myotismon ditched his host and used the power of the Dark Spores to assume the form of the Mega Digimon beyond that of VenomMyotismon in his evolution line, MaloMyotismon.

[edit] Quotes

"These Digidestined are driving me batty." (before fireing a Grisly Wing attack)

"I don't have to explain myself to the likes of you. It is my destiny to plunge this world into darkness, and become king of the Digital World. And no angel or digimon has the power to stop me."

"Do you expect to beat me with geraniums?" (mocking Lillymon's Flower Cannon attack)

[edit] Trivia

Given the significance of the storylines he has headed, Myotismon is typically portrayed by many as the ultimate archnemesis of the first two seasons of the television series.
Myotismon's servants are sometimes called Nightmare Soldiers. In the Digimon trading card game, 'Nightmare Soldiers' is a Digimon group-type (or 'family') that hundreds of different Digimon belong to, including some fan favorites such as Renamon. The term doesn't necessarily mean that Digimon belonging to the Nightmare Soldiers family are evil, but are simply more attuned to the powers of darkness.
Dracu-Myotismon was a Castlevania villain.
Myotismon is based on a classic Dracula or Vampire.
Myotismon was revived by Millenniummon and instructed to keep two of the Digidestined prisoner in the Wonderswan games Anode/Cathode Tamer. Upon facing the protagonist, Ryo Akiyama, Myotismon praised Millenniumon's power and declared he would cut off Ryo's head and send it to his master as tribute.
Myotismon hinted that he had known of Daemon's rank as one of the Seven Great Demon Lords in the episode "Dark Sun, Dark Spore". He didn't put up a fight against him and after Daemon was sealed into the dark ocean, he said, "I can't believe those little whelps beat Daemon. Well, call me a fool..."
