[edit] Appearance

The Data Squad version of Falcomon looks somewhat different from the original version, with a smaller toothless beak, red eye markings, dark brown body feathers and purple chest feathers with shuriken markings.

Falcomon looks like a ninja. He resembles more of an owl than a falcon.

[edit] Description

This Falcomon, different from the original design in the card game, is the partner of Keenan Crier (Ikuto Noguchi) and is a servant of Merukimon. Details about his past are sketchy, but he has known Keenan since he was very young, and has a distrust of humans other than Keenan. He and Keenan were protected by a female Frigimon - who was destroyed - an act which Falcomon believes humans are responsible for.

Years after this, he came to the human world on his own to try and return Puwamon (later Biyomon) to the Digital World. In his second attempt, he showed great speed and prowess, until he was knocked out of the sky by Marcus Damon (Masaru Daimon). He was nearly destroyed by GeoGreymon, until Merukimon arrived to save him. He then returned to the digital world. He was reunited with Keenan, and joined his human partner in ambushing the members of DATS when they came to the Digital World. During his attack on the DATS members, he Digivolved Falcomon to Peckmon.

After this, Falcomon's next prominent act was to forge an unsteady alliance with the humans, in order to save Keenan from the virus that was afflicting him and Yoshino Fujieda. He led them to a place called Wanderer's Cape, where they were beset by a Blossomon sent by the Gotsumon that works for Merukimon. Falcomon escaped with the vaccine and helped Keenan, but also helped to save Yoshi. He departed with his partner, conflicted in his thoughts about humanity. He and Keenan attacked again near Merukimon's lair only to be interrupted by a Mammothmon unleashed by Gotsumon. As Gwappamon was holding off Merukimon, Falcomon followed the DATS members (and the unconscious Keenan) back to the Real World. After Okuwamon attacks and Hagurumon taking over Dr. Crier's house, Falcomon fled with Keenan when Commander Sampson's (Rentarou Satsuma) superior Director Hashima appeared. Falcomon continues to help Keenan and DATS. After the fight against King Drasil, Falcomon returns to the Digital World with the other Digimon.

Attacks

  • Scratch Smash: Uses the claws to scratch.
  • Ninja Blade (Shuririnken 手裏裏剣 [1]): Releases multiple shurikens at his opponents.
  • Firecracker Smokescreen (Uchitake Drop 打竹落し [2]): Drops exploding bamboo cylinders on his enemies.

[edit] Other forms

The name "Falcomon" refers only to the Rookie form of this Digimon. Throughout the series, Falcomon gains the ability to Digivolve into a number of more powerful forms, each with a different name and special attack. However, the Rookie level is his preferred form and the one he spends most of his time in.

[edit] Peckmon

Peckmon is the Champion form of Falcomon. He first appeared when Keenan challenged the members of DATS when they emerged into the Digital World with the intention of fighting Merukimon. He dodged the attacks of GeoGreymon, Gaogamon, and Sunflowmon before being hit by Cherrymon's attack. After RizeGreymon stopped Gotsumon's attack, Ikuto and Peckmon fled. Peckmon reappears in future episodes.

Attacks

  • Spiral Claw: Spins around and drives one of his feet into the adversary.
  • Thousand Beak: Creates shadow clones to rapidly peck his enemies.
  • Kunai Wave (Kunai Bane): Throws sharp, bladed feathers that explode.

[edit] Crowmon

Crowmon is the Ultimate form of Falcomon. Falcomon first Digivolves to this series version of Crowmon when his partner Keenan Crier gains his new DNA to avenge Merukimon's death, when it came to battling Kurata's Gizumon XT and destroyed it.

Crowmon is named after the a crow, but his Japanese name, Yatagaramon, is named after the Yatagarasu of Japanese mythology. (Also known as Yatakaramon in Digimon World DS).

  1. ^ This is a play on words. Based on the direct translation of the name, the use of "rin" in splitting "shuri" and "ken" - shuriken being a common weapon associated with ninjas - implies dozens of smaller versions of a shuriken - in this case, it applies to the multitude of shuriken Falcomon uses in this attack.
  2. ^ The Japanese naming for this is Uchitake Otoshi; Uchitake itself is a ninja tool, so it remains untranslated as it is a proper noun.
