Today I'l finishing up presenting and giving my thoughts on all aquatic Digimon. For previous parts of this series see all fish, all mermaids, all aquatics part 1, and all aquatics part 2. Today I'll be covering the remaining ultimate/perfect and mega/ultimate level Digimon.

The first one of the ultimate/perfect is Anomalocarimon. Anomalocaris is one of my favorite extinct animals and I'm absolutely delighted that both Digimon and Pokemon based a monster off of it. It also definitely takes after a sea scorpion with it's scorpion-like tail. It was even born from scientific data about extinct species. I think this is a great Digimon that deserved more attention. Anomalocarimon caused a bit of a translation kerfuffle when it was given the English name Scorpiomon (because American kids are too dumb to know what an Anomalocaris is I guess). Well there's also another unrelated Digimon called Scorpiomon so the English dub was forced to change its name to SkullScorpiomon. Yes, this has caused confusion before. Anomalocarimon also has an x-antibody form that looks like it was standing next to a bunch of exploding spray paint cans.

Next is Dagomon, who was given the English name Dragomon. It's a minor change but kind of dumb because Dagomon comes from the Cthulhu mythos character Father Dagon and has nothing to do with dragons. Despite being named after Father Dagon, Dagomon is clearly Cthulhu as a Digimon. It's also treated as such in the animes. in Digimon Adventure 02 it rules over deep ones in an extradimensional spaces called the Dark Ocean and is implied to be more of a Lovecraftian horror than a Digimon. In Digimon Ghost Game it starts turning people into deep ones and is powerful enough to overwhelm a higher-level Digimon. I know it also shows up in Xros Wars, but I didn't watch that. It wears Buddhist prayer beads. In a heavily Buddhist country like Japan, a monster dressed like a Buddhist is probably the equivalent of historically-Catholic countries having vampire priests. I dig this one and while I say that a lot of Digimon could use more attention, I think Dagomon only showing up a little bit and being overwhelmingly powerful and mysterious is very appropriate for a Lovecraftian Digimon.

Related to Dagomon is Hangyomon, called Divermon in English. It's very much based on sea monsters like th Creature from the Black Lagoon, but with scuba gear. I think it's a neat Digimon. Notably, Hangyomon's most prominent appearance in the anime wasn't actually them. It was in the same episode as Dagomon and the Dark Ocean where at the end it's revealed that the creatures that presented themselves as Hangyomon were actually disguised deep ones serving Dagomon.

Next is Gusokumon and listen, I'm a simple nerd, I see a giant shrimp that shoots fish-shaped torpedos and I like it. It's also based on real-life biological phenomena relates to the deep ocean. Like many real deep-sea animals it lives life on show mode, being able to live an extremely long time while not getting to eat very often. It feeds on injured Digimon that sink to the bottom of the ocean, which sounds a lot like deep-sea scavengers and whale falls (Whamon falls?)

Next is MarineChimairamon, an aquatic chimera. Yes, it's spelles chimaira instead of chimera. When I looked it to to find out if that's an alternate translation from the original Greek I found out that "chimaira" is the name of a heavy metal band from Ohio. So congrats guys, you accidentally have a Digimon named after you. Two actually, because there is also a Chimairamon (English: Kimeramon) and the two are very similar concepts. They're artificial Digimon made out of a combination of body parts of multiple other Digimon. OC, do not steal. I actually like MarineChimairamon more that the original. I can see Coelamon's helmet, Ikkakumon's head and tusks, Octomon's horns, One arm from Ebidramon and the other from Hangyomon, and tentacles from Gesomon.

Finally at this level is MarineDevimon. Just like how MarineChimairamon is the aquatic version of Chimairamon, there is a land-based Devimon. While Devimon is an evil genius, MarineDevimon is consumed by hate and can destroy its enemies with raw power. I think it's a great design for an evil aquatic Digimon

The apex of Digimon evolution is the mega/ultimate level and there are indeed megas lurking in the depths of the Net Ocean. One of the many horrors down there is Cthyllamon. This very new Digimon is an evil version of MarineAngemon. It's just as tiny and like MarineAngemon, it preferes to not fight. While MarineAngemon uses the power of live to drain its foes of their fighting spirit, Cthyllamon terrifies enemies into diving up and brainwashes lower-level Digimon into serving it. Cthylla is a less-well known member of the Cthulhu mythos, a daughter of Cthulhu who looks like a winged octopus and serves as a back up body for big C if he is ever killed. Cthyllamon doesn't really have anything to do with that. I think it's a great counterpart to MarineAngemon and a delightful little villain

KingWhamon is a bigger version of Whamon and that's about all we know about it. Generally the measure for whetehr or not a Digimon is official is if it has an entry in the Digimon Reference Book and KingWhamon doesn't. The Reference Book is where you get the lore of what that Digimon is and does, so we don't have that for KingWhamon. Despite not appearing in the Reference Book, KingWhamon has an anime appearance in Xros Wars and a card in the card game, which sounds pretty official to me. It's a gigantic whale with an island growing on its head. Te idea of a sea creature so vast that it can be mistaken for an island is common in the legends of seafaring cultures around the world. It's a fine Digimon, I just wish we had more to go off of.

Next is Xiangpengmon and while it looks like a bird dragon, it is aquatic. It's based on the peng, a Chinese legendary creature that can turn from a bird to a fish. This is seen in its evolutionary line, starting as the bird Xiquemon, evolving to the fish Huankunmon, and finally ending as a dragon. Chinese dragons were often depicted as living in the sea and being capable of flight. I think Xiangpengmon is a great Digimon. It is one of 6 species that debuted in the China-exclusive mobile game Digimon New Century and all of them are amazing.

If there can be said to be an aquatic Digimon that's the most powerful, it would have to be Leviamon. Named after the mythical leviathan, Leviamon is not only a big red crocodile, it's one of the Seven Great Demon Lords. They are the epitome of evil in the Digital World and some of the most powerful Digimon ever. Each Demon Lord bears the power of one of the seven deadly sins and Leviamon holds the power of envy. Despite being ungodly powerful, Leviamon envies those it sees as better than itself and lashes out against them. How big is Leviamon? It's big enough that it could swallow the Digital World in one gulp. It's definitely for the better that it spends most of its time asleep in the depths of the sea. The lore says that the limits of Digimon power are being decoded and Leviamon has none. Its existence is also the foundation of evil in the Digital World. So it's a being with no limits that is the origin of all evil. Sounds less like a Digimon and more like some unfathomable embodiment of evil that happens to be masquerading as a Digimon. I think that's super cool and while Leviamon is definitely the least visually interesting of the Demon Lords, it's still one of the coolest. Leviamon also has an x-antibody variant and oh boy. The aquatic Digimon have actually lucked out when it comes to having decent x-antibody variants and you may wonder why I call x-antibodies as a whole overdesigned and ugly. This, THIS, is what I mean when I say x-antibody variants are overdesigned. There are so many lines on this thing that it can be hard to tell what I'm looking at. And it's not even the worst x-antibody form, not even close. The seal of envy hovering over it like a halo is cool, but all the Demon Lords get their seals incorporated into the x-antibody designs so it's not even a unique idea. There is just no salvaging this x-antibody design.

That wraps up the aquatic Digimon and I had a lot of fun doing this. Since Halloween is up maybe I'll showcase some of my favorite spooky Digimon or the other Demon Lords. I may also do an intro to Digimon post because I have gotten comments from people saying they like the Digimon but don't know much about the franchise and how to approach it.

I love an unbroken sequence.

[galionne-diging]

Man, no matter what they appear in those two can never catch a break, can they? Even in something as silly as the Panini UK comics they still end up getting blown to smithereens...

Now I'm curious to see if there are any other adaptations of Adventure 02 into mangas/comics/other mediums...

Amphimon RB1-016 Alternative Art by Tonamikanji from RB-01 Resurgence Booster

This card shows Amphimon battling against MarineDevimon. This could be a reference to this passage from its Digimon Reference Book entry:

Like Angel Digimon and God Man Digimon, it is permitted to pass judgment upon those judged to be evil in the Net Ocean. Once a battle begins, its usual merriment undergoes a complete about-face like the raging sea, and it strikes sinners with a blow of judgment.

Domitiamon

Nível Adulto/ Seijukuki/ Champion

Atributo Virus

Tipo Fera Marinha

Campo Salvadores das Profundezas (DS)/ Soldados do Pesadelo (NS)/ Império do Metal (ME)

Significado do Nome Domitia, Domiciano, imperador romano conhecido por ser um tirano cruel e paranóico.

Descrição

Um Digimon Fera Marinha que atingiu o nível adulto por conta do seu orgulho e sede de poder, tal desejo o tornou um tirano sem escrúpulos e absolutamente feroz, um verdadeiro ditador do Oceano da Net.

Conhecido como o Principado Do Mar, Domitiamon age de maneira completamente oposta a Lapithmon. A personalidade gentil e bondosa que possuía enquanto Aquamarimon da agora lugar há um Digimon cruel e completamente enlouquecido, cujo o objetivo é dominar por meio de violência e medo e sua presença ameaçadora e imponente coloca até às mais perigosas criaturas marinhas do Mundo Digital à seu serviço. Muitos dizem que até seres como Dagomon e MarineDevimon reconhecem Domitiamon como o rei dos mares por direito, mesmo que auto declarado.

Por ser uma criatura dominadora, está constantemente tomando territórios, seja na terra ou no mar, e aqueles que se atrevem a se opor a ele são destruídos e absorvidos sem piedade e suas almas passam a fazer parte do que Domitiamon chama de Equestria um exército de almas que foram devoradas.

Técnicas

Onda do Terror (Dreadwave) Esmaga o inimigo com uma onda pressurizada de água do oceano no formato de uma grande esfera;

Mergulho Profundo (Full Dive) Avança com extrema velocidade contra o inimigo, o encurralando e então o empala com os cristais de suas 4 caudas;

Pharsalus Ergue um imenso muro de água que avança como uma onda contra o inimigo, se congelando no processo causando um impacto avassalador;

Equites Conjura uma legião de avatares com a forma daqueles que foram devorados por ele, que atacam em conjunto como uma cavalaria.

Funny thing about the Deep Savers is that most of them will be featured in 02, but, other than perhaps Ebidramon and Coelamon, the 2 featured species were the only ones that could work; the viral Deep Savers Perfects are both cephalopod demons, the Seadramons are already represented, the Vaccine Perfects are both of them in our side (as this is when Whamon was turned into a Perfect)... Speaking of Zudomon, dude is a beast this entire arc; for good reason its evolution took that long.

I think they could have made Dagomon and MarineDevimon work as minions of MetalSeadramon. But featuring Dagomon would probably have prevented them from doing what they wound up doing with the character in 02.

[titanusamarante]

As a kid, I wrote a Digimon fanfic that took place shortly after 02.

I remember it as being a dark serious story. And after finding it...it was edgy trash involving MarineDevimon and human cultists.

However, I found the dang thing today and I'm really attached to one ridiculous concept in it.

Mimi's uncle, a former tamer who biomerged with his Palmon to form Rosemon. In the present, he is a high ranking yakuza who spoiled his niece rotten due to their similar personalities. He was trying to help the kids from behind the scenes and had his partner in his beeper somehow. He was also secretly gay and had a slight thing for Matt's dad...and some weird accidental chemistry with a force ghost version of Oikawa with showed up sometimes.

Like, I kind of love this yakuza disaster man I created. I think the only thing I'd change about him is his biomerging into Bancholilymon instead. I want to put him in a good plot this time. I kind of want to keep the scene where Mimi threatens her uncle's boss via Lillymon's flower cannon, though.

4. which system member has the most stereotypical name?

Kyle, probably.

8. who is the oldest system member? how old are they?

Chuck is an introject of SPN!Chuck so... God, basically. So... really fucking old 😭

12. does your system have more male, female, or nonbinary system members? is there any overlap between those?

Male. So confused about the last part of the question ngl???

16. what system member is the strangest species?

Possibly MarineDevimon?

20. is the majority of your system human or nonhuman?

I think it's pretty even, honestly. Especially if you count those who are sort of... technically human but A Bit More, like the supes and the mutants.

24. are any of your system’s introjects in relationships with other system members? is their partner(s) an introject from the same source? different source?

We don't really tend to date within the system, so nope, not that I can think of at least.

28. if you could tell all anti-endos one thing, what would you tell them?

Please stop accusing endos of claiming to have DID without trauma. It's a very small amount of us that do. Please stop assuming that we're all spiritual/metaphysical systems, too. Also, take care of the obvious fakers and shit stirrers in your own community before you come for ours. The teenagers on TikTok doing over the top "switch caught on camera!!11!!" bullshit and dress up videos and the like are doing way more harm to the community than any endo just existing does.

32. which system member has the most based takes?

It's time to confess: I've never been able to understand what "based" means, whoops

[digimontamerrichie-tcg]

[bossarmadimon]

Sora gives me vibes that she'd have the same reaction about anyone taller than her. Doesn't make a difference between 5'5'' Flamon, 8' Angemon of gigantic monstrosities like Dagomon and MarineDevimon XD

Has sora heard of Ordinemon?

She has never seen one before, but she has heard of them before! But it seems she is not scared of them but instead thinks it must be really cool to be that tall! Though her Raguelmon form is tall, it isn't as tall as Ordinemon is, but she is still thinking more about the height!
