A ghost Digimon completely covered by a cloth over its head. As it is a wicked being born from darkness, it is said that computers possessed by Bakemon instantly have their systems destroyed. Everything within the cloth is wrapped in mystery, and it is rumored that a portion of the shadow of its true form has become a black hole. It dislikes direct attacks because its fighting strength isn't great. Its Special Move "Hell's Hand" pulls the captured enemy all the way to hell. Also, its "Death Charm", which casts a powerful spell, seems to bring annihilation in a matter of seconds unless they are the possessor of a tenacious spirit.

If Taiga answers the questions correctly, Bakemon will join the city, but if answered wrong, Taiga must fight and defeat it before it will join.

Digimon Crusader[edit]

Digimon Adventure[edit]

Takenouchi Sora and Kido Jo found a group of humans in Episode 16, "The Dancing Ghosts! Bakemon", in the Overdell Cemetery. They were doing a weird dance, which one of them said it was part of a carnival that was an offering for the Great Bakemon. However, he refused to specify what the Great Bakemon was. Another offered the children the chance to join their dance for the Great Bakemon, though Sora refused. Yet another wanted them to leave offerings, which made Gomamon explain that Bakemon were ghost Digimon that lived in the Overdell Cemetery but they were not Digimon worth leaving offerings to. Finally, another said that they did have their offerings already - Sora, Joe, Piyomon and Gomamon, as all the cultists revealed themselves to be Bakemon. The Chosen Children and their Partner Digimon tried to escape, but they were surrounded and were caught by the Bakemon and thrown in separate cells.

As Sora escaped from her cell, she had to avoid Bakemon guards that would return her to it if she got caught. One of said guards was also protecting Jo and Gomamon's cell, making it impossible for Sora to rescue them alone, while two guarded a staircase upwards.

After rescuing Piyomon, the Bakemon guards become normal enemies. They can deal damage to one party Digimon with Ghost Chop and damage and Stun with Hell's Hand.

After Sora and Piyomon returned to Jo and Gomamon's cell, the Bakemon guard had entered it. Jo warned him that he'd taste badly if Bakemon tried to eat him, but Bakemon did not care because they were going to eat his soul. Jo then said that his soul also tasted bad, and Bakemon asked him if he knew someone with a tastier soul. Before Jo could answer, though, Sora and Piyomon entered the cell, and both fought the Bakemon guard, who in battle was two Bakemon. After beating them, the group went towards the Bakemon duo that protected the staircase and beat them as well.

Leaving the basement with the cells through the staircase, the group found their way out blocked by five Bakemon. They told the Chosen Children how escaping was a mistake and how they'd eat their souls, with salt and pepper, and how scared souls tasted best. Afterwards, they fused into the Great Bakemon. The giant Bakemon then stated it was immune to attacks because it was a ghost, but Jo knew that a ghost's weakness was God's divine grace, and thus, chanted a sutra his grandmother gave him to do well on tests, which hurt the Great Bakemon, giving Gomamon and Piyomon a chance to attack.

The Great Bakemon is the fourteenth obligatory boss of the game, fighting Piyomon and Gomamon at the end of Episode 16, "The Dancing Ghosts! Bakemon". Like the normal Bakemon, it can use Ghost Chop and Hell's Hand, but it can also deal damage to all the party as well as lower Attack, Defense and inflict Break with Death Charm. Upon being defeated, the Great Bakemon drops the Break Guard DigiPiece.

Defeating the Great Bakemon revealed the Black Gears in Overdell Cemetery and caused it to go back towards Infinity Mountain.

Another giant Bakemon, known as Bakemon Boss, appears in Sub-Episode 8, "Forgotten at the Church", which happens soon after Episode 16, where it took Sora's bracelet that she dropped when she escaped the cells. It also spoke partly in English, unlike the other Bakemon. When confronted by Sora, it refused to give it back, which sparked a fight.

Bakemon Boss serves as the final boss of Sub-Episode 8, "Forgotten at the Church". Like the Great Bakemon, it can use Ghost Chop, Hell's Hand and Death Charm.

Upon being defeated, the Bakemon Boss accepts its defeat and shrinks until it vanishes, allowing Sora to recover her lucky bracelet. Sora then explained to the other Chosen Children that said bracelet was made by her mother, and she entrusted the wish of said mother allowing her to play soccer into it.

Stronger versions named Bakemon ★ appear as random enemies from Sub-Episode 12, "Orgemon's Bone", onwards.

Wizarmon and Tailmon returned to Vamdemon's base to recover the true Crest of Light after Yagami Hikari and Tailmon united in Episode 45, "The Bond of Destiny! Tailmon". A Bakemon refused them entrance as the base was to be closed until Vamdemon returned. Wizarmon lied, saying they were there to switch out the guard, then brainwashed Bakemon into believing it, who then left.

A Bakemon appeared at Yagami Taichi's house in Episode 46, "All-Out Assault! The Odaiba Fog!", scaring Yagami Yuuko. It was swiftly defeated by Agumon's Baby Flame, though not before kidnapping Yuuko. Several more Bakemon attempted to kidnap people in Odaiba, led by Fantomon, as per Vamdemon's orders. Taichi, Hikari, and Greymon intercepted them, but Greymon was easily defeated by Fantomon and the trio had to run away. Another Bakemon tried to kidnap Takenouchi Toshiko, only to be destroyed by Piyomon's Magical Fire. Several other humans were kidnapped by Bakemon as well, including Sora and Tachikawa Mimi. As they tried to escape, led by Yagami Susumu, Sora used a sutra much like Jo did before to weaken the Bakemon. However, she was then attacked by Fantomon and some Bakemon, the latter of which were easily killed by the newly-appeared Birdramon.

Off-screen, the Bakemon also tried to kidnap Izumi Masami and Izumi Kae. Afterwards, as Izumi Kōshirō and Tentomon attempted to infiltrate the Fuji TV station, they found themselves surrounded by Bakemon, but they were saved by Ishida Hiroaki. Later, Taichi tried to press a Bakemon to confess where the kidnapped people were, but it was able to escape as Taichi was distracted by the arrival of Sora and Birdramon, who nonetheless told him they were in the International Exhibition Center.

Inside Tokyo Big Sight in Episode 47, "She Descends! Angewomon!", Tailmon confirmed to the Bakemon that none of the children they kidnapped were the eighth child.

Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode[edit]

A Bakemon took over Monzaemon's mansion in the Fluorescent Cave a day after Platinum Numemon did the same, causing the latter to leave it in fear. It could only speak in "bake". After Taiga defeats it, it goes back to the Village of Beginnings. It then sends Taiga an illegible mail with a Kingpin accessory attached.
