"THE EARTHQUAKE OF METAL GREYMON"
Digmon Adventure episode #20
English version written by Michael L. Reynolds and Jeff
Nimoy & Bob Buchholz
Tai saves Sora from the
clutches of Datamon, then Greymon
Digivolves to MetalGreymon for
the first time to finish off Etemon, opening up
a portal to the real world, through which he and Tai are sucked.
Episode Trivia - The title of this episode spells
MetalGreymon incorrectly, as "Metal Greymon," putting a
space between the two words. The episode also aired with
another erroneous title, "The Earthquake of
Metalgreymon," failing to capitalise the 'G' in
MetalGreymon.
EBIDRAMON
Group: Sea Animal - Level: Champion
- Type: Data - Attack Techniques: Twin Scissors,
Lobster Step
The first Ebidramon the kids encountered was under the control of
one of the Digimon Emperor's Dark Rings.
While the DigiDestined were on a mission to
destroy a Control Spire in the frozen North of
the DigiWorld, Cody and Armadillomon
remained behind with Joe and Gomamon
while the other went ahead, to let Cody recuperate from a fall
into a freezing river. While in a cave, Joe and Cody were
attacked by the Emperor and a Shellmon, but Digmon
took him out. The Emperor then summoned Ebidramon, and Digmon
took him on, but thankfully, the other kids destroyed the Control
Spire, allowing Gomamon to Digivolve to
Ikkakumon, to help battle Ebidramon. Oddly, Ikkakumon
apparently destroyed the Ebidramon with his Harpoon Torpedo -
although Ebidramon should have been freed from the Ring with the
Spire's destruction.
When Digimon started to appear in the real world, an Ebidramon
was seen attacking a cargo ship on the news. The DigiDestined
headed off to various spots around the globe to round up the wild
creatures, and Joe and Cody ran into an Ebidramon - possibly the
one who attacked the ship, possibly not - when they were in
Australia. They found Derek, an Australian
DigiDestined, being menaced by an Ebidramon, a Shellmon and a
Gesomon, but Ikkakumon and Armadillomon scared them off
with thoughts of sea-food!
Ebidramon first appear in "Old
Reliable," making it the first brand new
non-DigiDestined Digimon introduced in Digimon
Adventure 02.
Name: From "ebi," the Japanese word for
shrimp.
"THE EIGHTH CHILD REVEALED"
Digimon Adventure episode #34
English version written by Jeff Nimoy & Bob Buchholz
Wizardmon recovers the eighth Digivice,
discovering that Kari is the Eighth
Child, and that Gatomon is her Digimon,
but is soon attacked and defeated by Myotismon
during an attempt to steal her Crest from
him, allowing Gatomon to be captured.
"THE EIGHTH DIGIVICE"
Digimon Adventure episode #31
English version written by Rebecca Olkowski and John Ludin
The Kamiyas' cat, Miko, takes
the eighth Digivice from their
apartment, and Izzy detects its
signal but while searching for it, is menaced by DemiDevimon
and Raremon. After Kabuterimon
destroys Raremon, the Digivice is stolen by a magpie.
ELECMON
Group: Mammal - Level: Rookie
- Type: Data - Attack Techniques: Super Thunder
Strike, Body Attack
Elecmon lives in and guards Primary Village on File
Island. While good-natured at heart, he's quick to act
and sometimes doesn't think things through. His powerful electric
attack is sure to give opponents a charge!
T.K. and Patamon were the first
to encounter Elecmon. After the kids were split up and sent to
separate chunks of the shattered File Island by Devimon,
T.K. and Patamon found themselves in Primary Village, where
Patamon told T.K. about Digi-Eggs and Baby
level Digimon. Elecmon was busy fishing in a
stream a little ways away, and when he returned, he immediately
saw T.K. and Patamon as intruders, and attacked them. Patamon and
Elecmon fought, but T.K. made them stop, and suggested they have
a tug-o-war instead. Patamon won, and Elecmon realised they
weren't bad guys after all. He allowed them to stay in Primary
Village (although the stay was cut short by the arrival of the Black
Gear-infected Leomon, the other kids
coming to T.K.'s rescue, and the final battle with Devimon).
Elecmon then helped the kids build a raft to take them to the
continent of Server.
When the kids had to return to Earth to stop Myotismon's
plans for conquest, the evil Dark Masters arose
and conquered the DigiWorld, reformatting it
into the massive Spiral Mountain. Primary
Village was relocated to the mountain's peak, but was decimated
and tainted with evil by the Dark Masters. No Digimon could be
reborn there until the Dark Masters were defeated. Dissention in
the ranks of the DigiDestined had resulted in
the group splitting up, and Joe and Mimi
came across Elecmon among the ruins of Primary Village. He agreed
to help them, and aided them in battling the Vilemon, minions of
the last Dark Master, Piedmon. After his defeat,
the reunited kids were pulled into battle with Apocalymon,
the DigiWorld's ultimate evil. Turning his Total Annihilation
attack against him, they destroyed him, resulting the DigiWorld's
restoration to normalcy. As the world began to reformat itself, a
hail of Digi-Eggs rained down in Primary Village - all the
Digimon who had died during the conflict were reborn to live life
again. Elecmon would go on to care for them, to see to it that
they grew up, and that the DigiWorld was repopulated.
Four years later, several other Elecmon were seen at different
times. An Elecmon was seen being chased through a forest by the Digimon
Emperor. It was captured, and fitted with a Dark
Ring, and then forced to fight another Elecmon. Multiple
Elecmon were seen being freed from the Emperor's dungeons in his
fortress some time later.
Later on, when BlackWarGreymon was thundering
his way through the DigiWorld, seeking a worthy opponent, an
Elecmon was seen in a forest the dark Digimon was passing through
with several Baby level Digimon. While this might seem to imply
that this was the original Elecmon that the kids met during their
first adventure, it does not make sense, as that Elecmon and his
Baby Digimon live on File Island, and that scene did not take
place there.
At least one of the unnamed French DigiDestined had an Elecmon
for a partner. An Elecmon - possibly that DigiDestined's partner,
possibly not - was seen when MaloMyotismon was
infecting both Earth and DigiWorld with darkness.
Elecmon first appears in "DigiBaby
Boom." His voice is supplied by Michael
Sorich.
Name: From the word "electricity," in reference to
his electric powers.
"THE EMPEROR'S NEW HOME"
Digimon Adventure 02 episode #9
English version written by Seth Walther
Ken decides to
run away from home, and fully become the Digimon
Emperor. Occupying the DigiDestined
with a squad of Meramon, the Emperor
captures Greymon with a Dark
Ring, and tries to make him Digivolve
into MetalGreymon - only to have him
become SkullGreymon! When
SkullGreymon's energy expires after battling the Emperor's DarkTyrannomon,
he reverts to Agumon, but is
taken away by the Emperor for further use.
Episode Trivia The title of this episode comes from the
fairy tale, The Emperors New Clothes.
ENDIGOMON
Group: Animal - Level: Champion - Type: Virus
- Attack Techniques: Koko Crusher, Cable Crusher
Endigomon is the Champion form of Kokomon,
the estranged Digimon partner of Willis,
a DigiDestined from Colorado. His abilities
include extending arms, rapid-fire energy-blast projectors built
into his midriff, and the power to transform into mist.
After the defeat of Diaboromon, the virus that
had created that villain somehow made it's way into the real
world, where it targeted Willis, infecting Kokomon, and taking
him away from Willis. Over time, Kokomon Digivolved into
Endigomon, and sought out Willis repeatedly, telling him to
"go back to the beginning." While vacationing in New
York, T.K. and Kari witnessed a
battle between Endigomon and Terriermon,
Willis's other partner. Terriermon was no match for the monster,
but when Willis stepped into the middle of the fight, Endigomon
disappeared apparently unwilling to hurt him.
While T.K. and Kari were en route to Colorado in pursuit of
Willis, Endigomon attacked their train and stopped it in it's
track, warning them not to interfere. Meanwhile, Willis had met
up with Davis, Yolei and Cody,
but he, Davis and their Digimon wound up left at the roadside as
Yolei and Cody caught a lift. There, they were attacked by
Endigomon, prompting DemiVeemon to become Veemon,
then Flamedramon to battle him. When Endigomon
turned onWillis, Terriermon Digivolved into Gargomon
for the first time, and beat Endigomon back.
The following day, after the team had regrouped at Summer Memory,
Willis's family's vacation home, Endigomon reappeared, as Willis
had resolved to face him in a final confrontation. But as the
battle began, Endigomon Digivolved into his Ultimate
form of Antylamon, then, after a brief skirmish
with the Armour Digimon, became Kerpymon,
his Mega form. Things looked bleak, until Veemon
and Terriermon used the power of the Golden Digi-Eggs
to become Magnamon and Rapidmon,
and destroyed the virus within Kerpymon. Kerpymon reverted to his
Vaccine form, and then deleted, but not long
after, he was reconfigured as a Digi-Egg.
Endigomon appears in "Digimon: The
Movie," but is not referred to by name -
like all his forms, he is just referred to as
"Kokomon." His attacks were amended from the
names given to them by Bandai (Howling Destroyer and Long Arm
Grabbing) to reflect the single name he has, and his connection
to Diaboromon, in the movie. His voice is
supplied by Paul St. Peter and Wendee Lee.
Many changes were made to the portion of the movie in which
Kokomon appears in the American version. Check out the
"Kokomon" and "Willis" entries to read more
about these.
Name: From "Wendigo," a native American
forest spirit which can transform into mist, being where that
power of Endigomon's is derived from.
"ENTER FLAMEDRAMON"

are summoned to the DigiWorld

"ENTER THE DARK MASTERS"
Digimon Adventure episode #40
English version written by Rebecca Olkowski and John Ludin
The kids return to the DigiWorld, to
discover that it has been conquered by the Dark Masters in
the years that passed while they were gone, and reformatted into Spiral
Mountain. They face off against the Dark Masters, but are
soundly defeated by all four only Chuumons
sacrifice and the timely arrival of Piximon saves them.
ETEMON
Group: Puppet - Level: Ultimate
- Type: Virus - Attack Techniques: Dark Network,
Concert Crush, Monkey Claw
Etemon is one of the other evil Digimon the kids were assigned to
fight by Gennai. He controls the deserts of Server,
and his servants include several Gazimon, Kokatorimon
and Tyrannomon. Etemon craves the spotlight, and
delights in singing (poorly) - his Concert Crush attack prevents Digimon
from Digivolving. It should be noted here that
his Dark Network attack is NOT the same thing as the actual Dark
Network (for which there is a separate entry) - while
his Dark Network attack is simply a ball of dark energy, the
other Dark Network is an actual computer network that runs across
all of his land, which he uses to monitor his domain.
The kids first encountered Etemon soon after arriving on Server.
They came across a village of Koromon, which had
been taken over by Pagumon. Gazimon quickly
alerted Etemon to their presence in the village, and Etemon
attacked, blaming them for recent disruptions in his network. The
kids fled, but were trapped in a cave. However, the rear wall of
the cave was actually Tai's Crest
in disguise, and when he claimed it, the kids were able to escape
through the rear of the cave.
The kids continued to wander the desert, trying to get away from
Etemon, as Tai tried to use his Crest to make Agumon
digivolve to the Ultimate level. Etemon attacked the kids again,
trapping them in a coliseum, and pitting them again an evil Greymon
under his command. Agumon digivolve to Greymon to battle him, but
was too weak. Tai tried to make him digivolve again, but he had
not mastered true courage, so it failed to work. When he tried to
force the process, it became corrupted, and Greymon became SkullGreymon.
Etemon made himself scarce when his Greymon was defeated.
When the gang came across a cruise ship in the middle of the
desert, they ran afoul of Kokatorimon, who alerted Etemon to
their position. However, they managed to escape the feathered
felon's clutches, destroying his ship in the process. Etemon
later sent Tyrannomon to attack the kids when they inadvertently
revealed to him that they were hiding out in Piximon's
training ground.
When Izzy latched his computer up to a terminal
of Etemon's network, he received an e-mail from someone Etemon
was holding prisoner in his pyramid. The person promised that if
they freed him, he'd lead them to Sora's Crest.
The kids infiltrated Etemon's pyramid when half their number
lured him out and into battle with their Digimon. The kids
discovered that the prisoner was Datamon, who
had long ago been defeated in battle by Etemon and imprisoned in
the pyramid, forced to run his network. He was the one
responsible for the disruptions that Etemon had blamed the kids
for. The kids freed him, as Etemon arrived. Datamon turned out to
be no better than Etemon, as he captured Sora and Biyomon,
taking them to a hidden chamber inside the pyramid. Again, the
kids tracked him down, and, as Tai freed Sora, Etemon smashed his
way in, and began battling with Datamon. Datamon dropped computer
viruses into the nexus of the Dark Network, turning it into a
black hole, which began to suck in matter. Etemon somehow became
bonded to the Network, and used its power to attack the kids.
Tai, having mastered true courage by saving Sora and standing up
to Etemon, used his Crest to digivolve Agumon to MetalGreymon,
who used his Giga Blaster attack to destroy Etemon and the
Network. This opened up a dimensional rift, through which Etemon,
Tai and MetalGreymon were sucked.
While Tai and MetalGreymon (now reverted to Koromon) found
themselves back on Earth, Etemon's digital information was
scattered across digital limbo - the void where all Digimon's
information goes when they are destroyed. Etemon refused to be
reformatted as a Digi-Egg, and fought the
process, causing his information to spliced and mixed into a new
form. He sent the remains of the Network and himself crashing
back to the DigiWorld, which had now fallen
under the control of the Dark Masters, and
emerged from the wreckage as the new, more powerful MetalEtemon!
Etemon first appeared in "The Dark
Network of Etemon." His original body was
destroyed in "The Earthquake of Metal
Greymon. He returned as MetalEtemon in Etemons
Comeback Tour. His voice is supplied by
Richard Epcar.
For more information, see: MetalEtemon.
Name: Likely from the Japanese word "etekatte,"
meaning to do things at your own speed, your own way, for your
own convenience.
"ETEMON'S COMEBACK TOUR"
Digimon Adventure episode #46
English version written by Jeff Nimoy & Bob Buchholz
While Tai and the others
infiltrate Puppetmon's mansion, Joe
and Mimi run into Ogremon,
and are attacked by the recently-returned, even more powerful MetalEtemon!
"EVIL SHOWS HIS FACE"
Digimon Adventure episode #8
English version written by Dayna Barron and John Ludin
The kids find a mysterious mansion, and are set upon by Devimon
who breaks File Island into segments
and separates the kids across them.
EXVEEMON
Group: Mythical Dragon -
Level: Champion - Type: Vaccine
- Attack Techniques: Vee Laser, Critical Crunch
ExVeemon is the Digivolved form of Veemon,
the Digimon partner of Davis of
the DigiDestined. Veemon first Digivolved into
ExVeemon to protect Davis from Tortomon. Davis
had been attempted to trick Veemon into Digivolving into the
Champion level, which he thought might make Kari like
him more. However, the tricks wound up angering Tortomon, who
chased them across the DigiWorld until Davis and
Veemon reached a dead-end on the top of a cliff. Veemon finally
Digivolved into ExVeemon and threw Tortomon off the cliff, but
the hard-shelled Digimon survived the fall and even laughed.
ExVeemon assisted in the rebuilding of the Punimon
village, but when the Control Spire there was
reactivated, Veemon could not Digivolve. ExVeemon joined in the
battle against Okuwamon, and argued with Stingmon
as Davis fought with Ken - Davis was attempting
to convince Ken to let the other kids help him. When Ken and
Davis's hearts were focused on the same goal, the incredible
happened - and ExVeemon and Stingmon DNA Digivolved
into the awesome Paildramon!
ExVeemon appeared again in Giga House, where he had to protect
Davis, Ken and Cody from Stingmon and Digmon,
who had their minds taken over by music from Arukenimon's
flute. He De-Digivolved to Veemon, but then re-Digivolved to
merge into Paildramon and deal Arukenimon a severe thrashing.
ExVeemon battled BlackWarGreymon with the other
Champions, and then merged into Paildramon, only to be taken down
by the dark Mega. He appeared briefly when Davis
and the others were searching for Ken, Kari and Yolei,
who had stumbled through a phase warp into the World of
Darkness.
ExVeemon merged with Stingmon into Paildramon again to battle
Arukenimon and Mummymon when they were trying to destroy the
first Destiny Stone, but he and Silphymon
were unable to stop BlackWarGreymon from shattering it. ExVeemon
appeared briefly and merged again to fight Arukenimon and Mummymon
after BlackWarGreymon destroyed another stone and was temporarily
warped into Kyoto in Japan. He merged again to try and stop
BlackWarGreymon from destroying the fourth stone, but he and
Silphymon were again defeated. Even MagnaAngemon
could not stop him. He combined with Stingmon yet again to
protect the fifth stone, but that attempt also failed, as did the
attempt to protect the sixth stone, even with the help of Ikkakumon
and various underwater Digimon. He merged yet again to try and
defend the seventh and final stone, but he and Silphymon got some
extra help with Angemon and Ankylomon
finally DNA Digivolved into Shakkoumon.
ExVeemon was present at the Christmas battle to merge with
Stingmon again, and then Paildramon Mega Digivolved into
Imperialdramon during battle with Mummymon.
Imperialdramon airlifted the kids to different locations around
the world so they could round up wild Digimon appearing there.
ExVeemon joined in the battle at Rockafeller Centre against a Cherrymon,
then returned to Odaiba, and merged and
Digivolved into Imperialdramon, only to be paralysed by SkullSatamon,
who beat the other Digimon around. The Digimon gave their power
to Imperialdramon, who Mode Changed into his
Fighter Mode. When Ken was saved from the clutches of both Oikawa
and Daemon, ExVeemon became Imperialdramon
Fighter Mode again to help cast Daemon into the World of
Darkness.
ExVeemon was present when the kids arrived in MaloMyotismon's
dream dimension, and, powered by Davis's courage, attacked the
fiend alone. MaloMyotismon subject the kids to illusions of their
greatest dreams, but Davis didn't not have any desires, and was
able to free the other kids from their illusions, and use the
dimension to fulfil a dream of his own - Veemon then Digivolved
into all his separate forms at once! Veemon, Flamedramon,
Raidramon, ExVeemon, Paildramon, Imperialdramon,
and Imperialdramon Fighter Mode joined all the other Digimons'
forms in attacking MaloMyotismon, but when he crossed the border
to the DigiWorld, only the "real" incarnation of Veemon
could cross over, and so Imperialdramon Fighter Mode went across,
while the ExVeemon avatar faded away.
Three months later, when Armageddemon appeared
in Tokyo Harbour, Veemon quickly Digivolved to ExVeemon, then
merged with Stingmon to form Paildramon and Imperialdramon.
ExVeemon first appears in "Davis Cries
Wolfmon." His voice is supplied by Derek
Stephen Prince.
Name: Definition is unsure - original Japanese name is
"XV-mon," and we know the "V" is short for
"victory." The "X" may simply come from the X
on his chest, or it may mean something like "eXceeding
Veemon," or something similar.
