I've been going over my thoughts on all the aquatic Digimon. Previous posts here: all fish, all mermaids, and aquatics part 1. Since I've gone over the aquatics with a default evolution line, today I'll just go over all rookie/child, champion/adult, and armor level mons that I haven't already discussed.

I will say that my previous post's analogy on how Digimon evolution works was not at all helpful, so I'll try again. Digimon evolution is branched, where each stage has multiple possible next stages that do not necessarily need to have a thematic connection to prior stages. Stages are not mutually exclusive and separate Digimon can evolve into the same thing. Digimon can also evolve backwards and not to the same thing they started as. For example, an Agumon (little dinosaur) can evolve into Centaurumon (centaur), then evolved back down to a Patamon (winged hamster). The animes usually simplify things from the games and virtual pets by giving their Digimon characters much more linear and thematically consistent evolution lines. I may do an intro to Digimon post some day.

Starting with rookie/child levels we have an old mon that hasn't been used much: Gizamon. It's been around for a long time, but rarely gets any attention and as far as I can tell, has never gotten a spotlight, even as a monster of the week. That's too bad, it's a neat little critter. It's a marine mammal, but has the body shape and jumping ability of a frog.

Next up is Crabmon (Ganimon in Japanese). People compare Pokemon and Digimon a lot, but one comparison I haven't seen is that they both made a monster that's literally just a crab. Crabmon and Kingler are both fiddler crabs too, with one much bigger claw. I like it and there are a few crustaceans of higher level that I think could be a good pre-evo for. Crabmon also has a x-antibody variant.

The last of this level is Sangomon, a very new Digimon. I love it so much, it's a little staghorn coral monster with polyps for arms. It's so cute and such a creative way of making coral as a monster. I wish it has a full through-like of coral reef evolutions. If I had to pick any of the rookie/child Digimon form this series as a partner, it honestly might be this one.

Moving onto the champion/adult level is Ebidramon. Ebi means shrimp and dramon indicates that the Digimon is draconic, so it's a shrimp dragon. It clearly isn't fond of shrimp being used as a synonym for tiny as it will attack those who make fun of it.

Next is Gesomon, which clearly takes ofter humboldt squids as its very violent and scary. It attacks those who enter its territory, but won't bother those outside of it. It's also very intelligent and cunning, which is very appropriate for a squid. I really like Gesomon, I think it's a great choice for an evil aquatic line. Gesomon has an x-antibody variant which is incredibly ugly and not in a good way. Its ugly in an "I don't want to look at this any more" way.

The last aquation at this level is the excellent Octomon. I don't like any of the octopus Pkemon very much and Digimon deliverd for me. It's a kleptomanian who wears a pot for a head much like how a coconut octopus lives inside coconuts and other hard objects. The crown came from a sunked treasure chest and that gun squirts ink. Weirdly enough, the little gold barnacles on it are identified as another Digimon called Fujitsumon and Octomon's reference book entry is the only place Fujitsumon has ever been mentioned.

Next up is the armor level, which lies outside the normal evolution levels. It was introduces fro the anime Digimon Adventure 02 and outside of media related to that show, armor Digimon are often treated as being synonymous to the champion/adult level.

First is Archelomon, a sea turtle with knives for flippers. Digimon has had much more ridiculous designs, but for some reason this one seems over the top for me.

Next is Depthmon, who absolutely should have been in the mermaid post but I forgot about it. I really like this guy, a merman wearing a diving suit. The suit lets it dive way deeper into the ocean than most Digimon because it can endure incredibly high pressure. Armor Digimon are the result of a Digimon evolving with an object called a Digimental that represents some virtue like courage. The anime only used a few combinations and a lot of the official armor Digimon are the result of filling out the other matches. For example, in the show, Veemon/V-Mon used the Digimentals of courage and friendship to become Flamedramon and Raidramon respectively. Depthmon is one of the unseen combinations, Veemon plus the Digimental of sincerity (reliability in the dub). The unseen combinations don't get nearly as much attention as the ones that did appear in the anime, which is a shame because some of them, like Depthmon, are pretty cool.

Next is Orcamon and I absolutely love this goofy beast. An Orca life guard is such an exceptionally silly concept executed quite well. It actively rescues other Digimon that are lost at sea. Orcamon seems like a good friend. What's even better is that it was designed by a fan as part of a contest. That fan has some great ideas.

Next is Submarimon, which I probably could have justified in the fish post. Its a fish-shaped submarine of course, but that harpoon nose also makes me think of sawfish. This is one of the armor Digimon that appeared in the anime where it was a bit underutilized due to being strictly aquatic. Fortunately the writers seem to have agreed because it got to appear in some of the other anime seasons as an ally.

Finally we have Tylomon, which is a tyloaurus, a type of prehistoric marine reptile. I like marine reptiles like mosasaurs, so Tylomon is pretty cool to me. It also has an x-antibody variant which is a classic overdesigned form. It's kind of weird that some of the more obscure armor Digimon got x-antibody forms befrore the ones that showed up in the anime, but I'm all for more obscure mons getting more attention.

That's it for today. Next post will finish up the aquatic Digimon with the ultimate/perfect and mega/ultimate levels

If Team 7 were DigiDestineds (Part 8):

Sometimes Shānnarō digivolves from her Nyokimon form into

Pukamon/Bukamon then

Swimmon then

Orcamon then

Mermaimon.

Sakura & Shānnarō matrix digivolving when the latter is in Swimmon form results in

Pukumon, who is a powerful Mega Level Digimon despite being small (she punches anyone who misgenders her).

Sometimes Shānnarō digivolves from her Pyocomon/Yokomon form into

Sangomon then

Rukamon/Dolphmon then

Whamon.

Sakura & Shānnarō matrix digivolving when the latter is in Sangomon form results in

Neptunemon (again, any misgendering gets a violent response if the human doing so keeps ignoring her warnings; Digimon don't misgender anyone, coz they all know appearance doesn't decide someone's gender).

(To be continued in Part 9...)

[sabedilemon]

Snomon

Level: Child (Rookie) / Hybrid

Attribute: Variable

Type: Ice-Snow

A Digimon that was transformed into a half-beast, half-man form when Chackmon's power was halved. It lacks Chackmon's military paraphernalia, but it can still be a very capable fighter whenever it needs to, hiding great speed and dexterity behind its childish exterior. However, it would rather play with its friends than fight. Its favorite game is using its flippers or belly to slide rapidly on the ice. Its Special Move is throwing hard frozen snowballs directly to the opponent's face ("Flurry Fire").

Suggested pre-evolved forms:Hiyarimon, Pukamon, Chapmon, Chicchimon

Suggested evolved forms: Chackmon, Blizzarmon, Yukidarumon, Sorcerymon, Icemon, Swanmon, Mallardmon, Xiquemon, Toucanmon, Orcamon, Gawappamon

I had no recollection of KarnEX doing evolutions for the reliability armors and that's because I already covered every digimental he did so far. So we're in uncharted territory now and I'll have to compare notes when he does release more videos in the series.

Armadimon/Submarimon evolves into Gusokumon and Aegisdramon. I was saving Aegisdramon for this specifically. I don't *love* Gusokumon here, but there's no perfect level aquatic vehicle digimon I can think of and it's an armored thing that fires torpedoes. It also canonically evolves from Submarimon and Ankylomon, and it's got big claws and a shell like Armadimon. They're even in the same pose there.

V-mon/Depthmon evolves into Divemon and Surfimon. I knew I wanted Surfimon for this because it's got the Main Character vibe and it's blue with a white mouth. I originally had Hangyomon as the perfect level which does mesh with Depthmon being deep sea diving themed, but Divemon has the same vibe I mentioned as it's a Pulsemon evo and therefore is a protagonist partner. Plus, it has a similar silhouette as Depthmon when its legs are turned into a tail.

Hawkmon/Orcamon evolves into Whamon and Plesiomon. I'm not as sure about this one, there aren't exactly too many options for cetaceans. Marine animals in general get a little tight when you exclude fish, squid people, and the Seadramon family. At least Plesiomon has flippers.

Patamon/Mantaraymon evolves into MarinDevimon and Neptunemon. I knew I wanted this to end on Neptunemon because it's the water god and Patamon tends to turn into religious beings. I struggled with the perfect level until I threw darts at the board and remembered manta rays are also called devilfish. Putting MarinDevimon next to Mantaraymon, I also realized Mantaraymon's tail ends in a spade like MarinDevimon's tentacles. And then I realized it matched how I had already made Tylomon evolve into Calamaramon.

Tailmon/Tylomon evolves into Calamaramon and AncientMermaidmon. It had to evolve into AncientMermaimon to match Neptunemon, I knew this right off the bat. But what to put between them as the perfect? I originally defaulted to Mermaimon, but...well, honestly, I forgot why I changed it to Calamaramon, but it worked out when I was struggling with Patamon and noticed I had squid people as both of their perfect levels.

Wormmon/Archelomon evolves into Anomalocarimon X-Antibody and JumboGamemon. Much like before, I already had the ultimate in mind: JumboGamemon, a turtle. There are no perfect level turtles, the closest being JumboGamemon's canon pre-evo Shawujinmon which is a kappa. I thought about Zudomon as it's wearing Archelomon's shell, but I settled on Anomalocarimon X-Antibody because it has a similar color palette to the rest of the line and it's got blades and spikes sticking out of it like Archelomon. It's definitely an idea with merit.

OC Masterlist

I realized that I have A LOT of OCs, ranging from original to fandom so I thought I could make a post regrouping all of them, for easy navigation. Especially that some are not mentioned often but still hold a special place in my heart.

I'm slowly transitioning to a new tagging system, so depending what you are using (phone or PC) either write only the name of the oc or " oc:[name] " to navigate <3 Orange are my most active one. Most of them can be found on my art blog; @ghostgirlvii-art

Cosmos : A celestial being who is revered as the universe itself, in a sense (She is kind of a comfort and mascot character)

Celeste Winter : Part of the same universe has Cosmos, still under development on some aspects

Portia : My little dimension jumper who can shows up anywhere and everywhere

Florence : A witch/fairy who is mostly a cottage core vibe <3

Captain Mathis Vermeulen : Belgian Military OC made for the funsies and simping

Call of Duty: Camille 'Scotty' Moreau ( @sgt-scottymoreau the only oc to have her own blog) // Johan De Keyser

SCP: Anisoara Van Aken (Used to be a fandomless OC, I'm transitioning her to the Foundation, part of the MTF; Last Hope)

Mass Effect: Alexis Sydney // Daryus Zerker // Kirr'Raek // Clara Sydney (she is here but it's true that I never really expended much on her)

Cyberpunk 2077: Roxane // Jonathan 'Viper' Hasen

Digimon: Naomi // Orcamon (my digifake)

Helldivers 2: Valerie Warden // Simon Ryder

So I learn that Hawkmoon can digivole to Orcamon. With it's actually a armor digivole.

[thebladeblaster]

Yu boy digimon partners expanded

Yuya has the most to reflect how Odd-Eyes has 50 billion variations. I couldn’t even fit the jogress😰.

Yugo: Yuya, what the fuck?! How many digivolutions do you have?

Yuya: I need to keep surprising the audience, Yugo.

Yugo: I can’t even keep track of your partner’s forms!

Yuri gets the most armors since it’s the digivolution method of his dimension along with Jogress.

Yugo despite being the protagonist of the Digimon au hardly has any. This is also supposed to reflect Arc V because remember Yugo didn’t get a lot of upgrades.

Edit: I just discovered Machmon after posting this and added it as a possible meme evolution🤣. I don’t know if I will actually use it though. If I do I’ll change its colors to match Veemon more.

I don’t think Yuto would want to use armor which is primarily used by Academia in the au. He already has a champion so he never really needed it. Though, considering Jogress is harder to do I imagine he hasn’t really come across it. I wanted a way for Yuya and Yuto to unite their strength without Yuto getting absorbed so this is a nice compromise. I decided to put the jogress on Yuto’s section. I imagine the jogress is how they both first access ultimate then they get their true ultimates later.

.. What? Hawkmon is evolving!

Hawkmon evolved into Orcamon!

Digimon really be like 🦅🔜🐋, and if you think I’m playing, think again….

[real-life-pine-tree]

^_^ Armor Digimon representation!

[mat2modblog]

Did they just armor evolve without armor?

It’s Drimogemon to Digmon (which is ignoring the fact that Digmon is always champion stage when it’s not considered armor stage) and Wisemon ignoring the crest on Searchmon’s radome all over again.

If they’re going to use these digimon while ignoring the significance of their crests, they shouldn’t include the crests in their designs, plain and simple!

[rahxe-things]

Digimon Ghost Game

I'm sorry, but can we please talk about THIS! 😨

FROM HAWKMON?!

Why? WHY?!

It's got the crest if reliability on it's stomach. And its amphibious. AT THE VERY LEAST it should have evolved from Gomamon!

Hawkmons: Hawkmon Shinka!

Orcamons: Orcamon!
