[edit] Appearance and characteristics
Being a Undead Digimon, Myotismon's look and mannerisms are styled after vampires. His name is derived from Myotis, a genus of vampire bats while his Japanese name is a combination of the words Vampire and Demon.
Myotismon 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, and moving MegaKabuterimon's body into WereGarurumon when he was about to attack him, although the latter could possibly be attributed to the fog which Myotismon amplified using the TV station in Tokyo, as he resorted to his Grisly Wing to counter Garudamon's Wing Blade in the digital world, and to melee combat in his duels with WereGarurumon and MetalGreymon. They both failed then Gatomon digivolved into Angewomon and destroyed Myotismon but then he digivolved into VenomMyotismon.
Attacks
- Grisly Wing (Night Raid): 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 (Dead Scream): Sends out a black translucent ghost-like entity that turns the victim black and paralyzes them
[edit] Description
[edit] Digimon Adventure
Before he encountered the DigiDestined, Myotismon was the one responsible for conditioning Gatomon into a loyal minion through harsh methods while she was Salamon. When the DigiDestined arrived, he used his minion DemiDevimon to try to keep them separated, as he was bent on killing the 8th Digidestined before the child can be a threat to him. To that end, Myotismon plans to enter the Real World, taking many of his henchmen with him, to find and kill the child. However, the DigiDestined follow him, and for the next two days (August 1 and August 2), the two groups race to find the child. On the night of August 2, Myotismon learns of Gatomon's relation to the 8th Child. He then uses his power to isolate Odaiba from the rest of Tokyo, which also serves to isolate some of the Digidestined, making it harder for them to stop him as he gathers every child his minions to force Gatomon to pick the child while threatening her that he would have them killed if she refuses.
After the eighth child, Kari, reveals herself in a vain attempt to stop the madness, Myotismon places all the hostages in a deep sleep before he easily overpowers the combined forces of the Digidestined's partner Digimon as they arrive to save Kari from him. When Myotismon kills Wizardmon with a attack meant for her, Kari's Crest glows and Gatomon digivolves to Angewomon, who destroys Myotismon by combining the other Digimons' power with Heaven's Charge and forming it into her Celestial Arrow. However, Myotismon was not truly dead, but serverly weaken with his soul transformed into his batwing mask, which was all that remained of him. While the Alpha Bats were out stealing energy, Myotismon took on a semi-solid shadow-form with his mask as his only corporeal part. after the dazed hostages in the Convention Center start chanting his name, the Digidestined realized that the prophecy Gennai contacted them was coming true, as by the "Hour of the Beast", 6:06:06 in the evening, Myotismon absorbed all of his Alpha Bats and obtained sufficient energy to self-reincarnate as VenomMyotismon. However, having a uncontrollable desire to eat, Venom Mytoismon sucks in the obsolute DemiDevimon before heading towards the Convertion Center to eat the people there. However, fulfilling the prophecy that foretold Myotismon's resurrection, the Digidestined manage to get Agumon and Gabumon to digivolve to WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon, who succeed in defeating him with the help of the other Digimon and the power of the crests. Although VenomMyotismon was killed, his "spirit" endured and exploited Yukio Oikawa by possessing him and setting in motion the events of Digimon Adventure 02, three years later.
[edit] Digimon Adventure 02
It is revealed in the last few episodes that Myotismon was secretly behind the events of the season. After possessing Oikawa on August 3, 1999, he influenced his host to create Mummymon and Arukenimon, who led to Ken Ichijouji to becoming the Digimon Emperor.
On December 31, 2002, at the height of his scheme, Myotismon removes himself from his host and uses the power of the Dark Spores to assume the form of MaloMyotismon.
Upon his resurrection, he tortured and killed Arukenimon as an excuse to test his new found power on her. After Mummymon was killed by MaloMyotismon in an attempt to avenge Arukenimon, Davis was the only one willing to fight, as everyone else was too afraid to battle someone as sadistic and merciless as MaloMyotismon. Fueled by his courage, ExVeemon attacked MaloMyotismon with everything he had, doing some major damage. MaloMyotismon tried to incapacitate them all by using their desires against them, but since Davis' greatest desire was to see MaloMyotismon defeated, he was able to break free of the spell and rescue the others. Davis' desire enabled all the different forms of all the Digimon to appear simultaneously, forming a Digimon army that unleashed a massive series of attacks that seriously injured MaloMyotismon. However, in the end they only helped him by breaking open an entrance to a canyon in the Digital World, where he is most powerful.
He posed a challenging battle for the DigiDestined, who were not able to defeat him even with all the Digivolved forms of their Digimon. During the fight, very many Digimon, as well as the main DigiDestined's partners appeared on the edge of the canyon, and MaloMyotismon launched his Screaming Darkness attack on them where all the DigiDestined encountered appeared in the Digital World. Again, the help of the Digivices was required to defeat him — it took the light from every Digidestined's Digivices to cause Myotismon's body to dissolve into a dark spirit, and then to modify Imperialdramon Fighter Mode's Positron Laser, which he used to fire his Giga Crusher, completely destroying Myotismon.
[edit] Wonderswan
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.
[edit] Other forms
[edit] VenomMyotismon
VenomMyotismon is Myotismon's Mega form, a Dark Beast Digimon. Though he is much more powerful, he is also much less intelligent and has an insatiable hunger, at one point devouring his own servant, DemiDevimon. In the prophecy revealed by Gennai he is called the "Undead King" (or "King of the Undead" by DemiDevimon) and when the clock strikes the hour of the beast, he would reveal himself in his true form as the Beast. His "true" body is actually hidden in his abdomen, and rarely comes out (it isn't until War Greymon drills a hole through his abdomen that his true form, the "Beast Within" appears). He is the first Mega Digimon to be introduced in the series and it is because of his appearance that the Digi Destined learn about the Mega level.
Attacks
- Venom Infusion (Venom Infuse): Fires powerful, rainbow colured energy beams from his eyes.
- Tyrant Savage: Viciously slashes his enemy with his claws.
[edit] MaloMyotismon
MaloMyotismon is another Mega form of Myotismon's, a Dark Lord Digimon. Unlike VenomMyotismon, he has both strength and intelligence, and is even more sadistic and cruel than any of his previous forms — killing his faithful servant, Arukenimon and Mummymon simply to "test out his new power" and out of sheer enjoyment, and imprisons each of the Digidestined in a world of their worst fantasies.
Attacks
- Screaming Darkness (Pandemonium Flame): Fires heat rays of darkness from the Sodom and Gomora on his shoulders.
- Crimson Mist (Melting Blood): Releases red mists that engulf the enemy and causes them to melt/dissolve (he killed Mummymon with this attack).
- Mental Illusion: Causes his enemies to experience their greatest dreams/desires or nightmares and uses them to his advantage.
