#piranimon

I talked before about fish Pokemon and that was great, but it's not the only mon series I like. So fuck it, fish Digimon time. This will definitely be less analytical and more me gushing about Digimon I like because I may be a bit out of it right now. Also sorry if I missed any.

Starting at rookie/child level we only have one fish but why would we need more when we have Swimmon?

Loot at it, it's amazing! It's some some sort of tropical fish, obviously, but with some embellishments, like the beak full of teeth. I love how colorful and pointy it is. It works great as a rookie for so many aquatic lines. I think some great lines for it would be Swimmon -> Coelamon -> Piranimon -> MetalPiranhimon or Swimmon -> Tobiumon -> DIvemon -> Surfimon. Speaking of which...

I'm going over champion/adult Digimon together and starting with Coelamon.

It's a coelacanth! Coelacanths are amazing as some of the last lobe-finned fish. In this case, the lobes have been exaggerated into proper limbs, like how lobe-finned fish are the ancestors of tetrapods through intermediate limbed fish stages like tiktaalik. Its armor might also be based on placoderms, extinct fish with bony armor.

We have surprisingly few shark Digimon, but one we do have is Tobiumon, and it's amazing.

A shark with arms that can fly with its fins is such a Digimon concept that all it needs are some guns to be peak Digimon. It even has a remora missile launcher on its chest!

The armor Digimon give us several fish, and while I don't think any of them particularly work as armor evolutions, they're fine as Digimon on their own. And before anyone mentions it, Tylomon is a tylosaurus, not a fish. The first is Manbomon, and while it's a terrible armor evolution for Patamon, A mola mola wearing boxing gloves is such a goofy concept I can't help but love it.

Next is Seahomon, which is pretty obviously a seahorse, but its snout is a trumpet and it has a cape that turns into wings I guess? I dunno, it's a pretty weird one.

My favorite of the three is Mantaraymon. Despite the name, it doesn't have a manta ray's face, instead having a rostrum like a shovelnose ray or even maybe a dolphin. I do like how they used Patamon's ears as the cephalic fins.

Mantaraymon also has a more mechanical X-antibody variant that gives it kind of a stealth fighter vibe. I kind of like it more than the original Mantaraymon, which is saying something since I usually don't like X-antibody Digimon.

Moving onto the ultimate/perfect level we have a new mon from China, Huankunmon.

I love this design so much. Its based on the peng, a mythical creature that can turn from a bird to a fish. Fittingly, Huankunmon's line goes from a bird (Xiquemon) and goes to a bird/fish/dragon hybrid (Xiangpengmon). It'a also based on a flying fish since it can fly with a swimming motion. And it can turn invisible. There's nothing not to love about it.

Next is Piranimon, and look at this absolute beast

Some might call it overdesigned, but I absolutely love it. I particularly dig the tail being a fish hook covered in barbed wire. Its based on a red-bellied piranha, but the pop-culture version where they're bloodthirsty monsters that attack everything they see. Real piranhas are not like that. The helmet it wears may also be based on placoderms, some of which only had the bone armor on the front of their bodies.

Finally at this level, we have Divemon.

I'm not as big of a fan of this as I am of the other two, but I do like the Polynesian-style tattoos it has. Its a combination hammerhead shark and professional swimmer.

Maxing out at the mega/ultimate level we have MetalPiranimon.

While I appreciate any fish megas, I think this is a step down from Piranhimon. It's just a red-bellied piranha with a big metal head dragging around a counterweight. I'm not saying its bad, I'm just saying that Piranhimon is better. Fun fact, Metalpiranhimon came first. Piranhimon was designed because someone thought it was weird that there's a MetalPiranhimon but no regular Piranhimon. There are a few examples of that in Digimon, like SkullBaluchimon coming before Baluchimon.

Next is Regalecusmon, which might be stretching the definition of fish a bit, but it does have an oarfish for a head.

I really like this design, especially it using Zudomon's horn as a sword and what looks like Ebidramon's claw as a shield. I think it would make a great villain for an aquatic episode or storyline of a show. Maybe like a more modern version of MetalSeadramon from Adventure.

Finally, we have Surfimon.

It's a mechanical shark man riding a rocket-powered hammerhead shark surfboard with a buzzsaw on the front. We have reached peak Digimon, people. And even better, it was created by a fan as part of a contest. Frankly, it's a shame that it hasn't gotten any appearances in the anime or games. I don't get why some fan-made Digimon can go onto have major appearances like Dobermon, Cyberdramon, and SoundBirdmon while others get ignored. A lot of them don't even have art. I'd be pretty bummed if I was a kid who won a contest to have my design become official and then it was never used. I think Surfimon should get an anime appearance and the English dub should make it talk like a Californian surfer dude.

niche au posting time again :)

lil baby peter and his loogamon, and then yondu and his 'mon for the digiau - his partner is betamon in the second pic, and then fully evolved into regalecusmon in the third :]

More Resident Evil/Digimon crossover, and as promised, here are the Digimon of the Four Lords. I really like the thought that the Four Lords get the four Dark Masters as Mega-level Digimon. I think, except for Piedmon, they fit perfectly.

Piedmon doesn’t fit that well for Alcina, I admit, but they were the only ones left, so yeah, she gets Piedmon. Sangloupmon and Matadormon, on the other hand, actually work pretty well for her. Both have bat wings, and Matadormon has these nice blades that look a bit like her claws.

And because it would be a better choice, Alcina’s Digimon also has an alternative vampire-themed Digivolution line.

Digivolution line of Alcina’s Digimon

Botamon → Pagumon → Gazimon → Sangloupmon → Matadormon → Piedmon

Alternative Digivolution for Alcina’s Digimon

Sangloupmon → Myotismon → VenomMyotismon

The Digivolution line of Donna’s Digimon is a bit random, but I wanted to combine the spider and puppet aspects.

Digivolution line of Donna’s Digimon

Puyomon → Puyoyomon → KoDokugumon → Dokugumon → Pumpkinmon → Puppetmon

The standard Digivolution line of MetalSeadramon isn’t that suitable for Moreau. Therefore, I wanted to give his Digimon a different one with various fish Digimon.

Digivolution line of Moreau’s Digimon

Tsubumon → Upamon → Swimmon → Tobiumon → Piranimon → MetalSeadramon

Heisenberg’s Digimon digivoles into various machine Digimon, obviously. I think Andromon works here better as an Ultra-level than Machinedramon’s usual dragon-like Ultra-levels since it already looks like one of Heisenberg's experiments that run around in the factory.

Digivolution line of Heisenberg’s Digimon

MetalKoromon → Kapurimon → Hagurumon → Guardromon → Andromon → Machinedramon

Episode 15.

Mach Gaogamon debuts here.

****

Metal Fantomon is one of the Digimon introduced in the Pendulum X V-Pets (one of the V-Pets during the hiatus), so it is in theory an X-Antibody carrier, though this is never explicitly stated. In that V-Pet line, it would normally evolve into Metal Piranimon, but regular Piranimon has been recently introduced, as such Metal Fantomon has no canonical Evolution now.

New Digimons Announced! YEAH!

[sxrrandomfanfics]

Data Squad AU

Yes, I know my name is from a ship of Pokemon but DIGIMON. There was one post about like "don't play other video games while hyperfixating otherwise you get some strange results" and I'm here to tell you: I like the strange results.

Anyways... Psychonauts+Digimon AU.

The Psychonauts are not the Psychonauts. They're a branch of the Data Squad. An international group that works with Digimon and defeats evil Digimon. This was mainly fleshed out with some OCs, but I'm here to just give some Digimon to the other Psychonauts characters.

Razputin. You may expect me to give a protagonist him something simple like Agumon or Gabumon, but no. Raz, despite being the main character, is not that basic at all. Therefore he is going to get a Digimon that fits him the best. Orcamon. A bipedal Orca with a life jacket and life saver ABSOLUTELY fits with Raz. This is based on the idea that Raz has a fascination with water and technology but can't swim, making Orcamon save him and Raz get recruited by the Data Squad after failing to hide his Digimon from his family. Orcamon I don't think would ever de-digivolve, but as a treat I will give it a dark-digivolution in Piranimon. Basically if Razputin were to go Razigula, Orcamon would become Piranimon.

Lili! The deuteragonist of the Psychonauts series, and the first character with an actual FULL digivolution list. Yuramon -> Tanemon -> Floramon -> Kiwimon -> Blossomon -> Gryphomon. Originally, I really wanted to give Lili RedVegimon, due to her powers in Psychonauts canon, but unfortunately, RedVegimon's line doesn't really go into any of the digimon I think would fit Lili cleanly. I wanted to stay away from more humanoid Digimon, and thankfully, going down the list of pre-evolutions of RedVegimon, Floramon gave way to a WONDERFUL line that absolutely fit the little fire flower girl.

Sasha is a calculating individual, and there are a lot of early digimon that could fit with him. My choice for Sasha's main digimon is Mechanorimon. His full digivolution list is: MetalKoromon -> Kapurimon -> Hagurumon -> Mekanorimon -> Megadramon -> Machinedramon When having his Mekanorimon digivolve, he will usually force a warp digivolution, skipping over Megadramon. Though Megadramon will come out if Sasha's emotional state is affected enough.

Milla is free and fun. The opposite and compliment to Sasha. I wanted to jump on the Lopmon line, but it's usually paired with Terriermon and I didn't think that fit with Sasha, plus, bunnies are Coach's thing. Milla I also believe would befriend a Digimon that could become human, thus giving me more freedom with her character. I needed a digimon that was free flowing and light as air. Preferably without fire. So instead, I will be cobbling many digimon lines together with help from the two Digimon Wikis. Puttimon -> Tokomon (X-Antibody) -> Sistermon (Blanc) -> Rhinomon (X-Antibody) -> MagnaAngemon -> Venusmon

Coach ah yes. The one whose line stays mostly the same. You have a person who's facade is being a part of the army and also loves bunnies? In 2005? When only 3 years ago there was Digimon tamers who had GARGOMON!? Yeah, Coach is getting the full Terriermon line but with his Gargomon becoming BlackRapidmon and BlackMegaGargomon.

Loboto is one who befriended a digimon at a young age, and his parents tried everything to get him to stop being with this thing, leading to both the Mad Dentist, and his WaruMonzaemon.

[ptero-cards]

Full line up for the new DiM card revealed and I am VIBRATING I put it under this cut for spoilers plus also my thoughts.tm

Infinite Tide Fresh Pichimon In training Bukamon Rookie Sangomon   Champion Shellmon Seadramon Octmon Tobiumon Ultimate Gusokumon Mermaimon MarinKimeramon MegaSeadramon Piranimon Dagomon   Mega Neptunemon MetalSeadramon Regalecusmon Plesiomon Basically no bad choices!!! I’ll probably end up raising Shellmon or Octmon for my champions Then to Gusokumon or MarinChimeramon for my ultimates Ending with Regalecusmon or Neptunemon Although both Metalseadramon and Plesiomon are tempting choices!  I love Neptunemon a lot (since he usually bridges the gap to AncientMermaimon, and he’s in ReArise...) But he’s very...goofy? I guess. Very very bright colors on the armor....the fish helmet doesn’t help either! Sorta wishing we got AncientMermaimon to match AncientVolcamon and Daipenmon in the other two DiM cards though!

Tubamon, the amazing Mon my friend @dry_designs designed, has many branching evolutions, but they're not part of VD. Instead, Tubamon has exclusive evos designed by me :D Meet his Champion, Anglermon!

Can evolve from: -> Tubamon -> Betamon -> Swimmon Can evolve to: -> Ikagemon -> CaptainHookmon -> Divermon -> Gosukomon -> Piranimon -> Whamon
