Bug
| |||||||
Sorry for our appearance, but this article currently needs a lot of work.
A bug (バグ, Bagu) is a singularity[1]; an error, flaw, failure or fault in a computer program or system that causes it to produce undesired results. Deltamon was forcefully fused from three Digimon due to a computer bug[2]. "Chaosmon" is the codename for Digimon who "should not exist", and according to the "Central Dogma" of the Digital World, are absolute impossible singularities.[1]

Nanomon tried to have Agumon and Gaomon eat computer bugs, disguised as food, in "Pitchmon's Secret". Said computer bugs invaded Digimon and turned their data into trash. While Gaomon stopped himself from eating them, Agumon ate them happily, never realizing they weren't food.
Novel[edit]

Bugs enter the DigiBeetle from Bug Nests in Holes that are invisible if the DigiBeetle isn't equipped with a high enough level Bug SWEEP. Said Bug Nests can be destroyed if the DigiBeetle is equipped with a Bug Zapper and Akira has the right type of item (this depends on the type and level of the Bug itself); the same items can be used to remove Bugs that have already entered the DigiBeetle. Bugs come in three levels: yellow, blue and red, each stronger than the last. All Bugs affect the player every time they take a step. There are various types of Bugs in the game:
- Bit Bug: lowers Akira's bits.
- Memory Bug: takes up a slot in Akira's memory, stopping him from obtaining more Digimon.
- Energy Bug: lowers the DigiBeetle's EP.
- Return Bug: returns Akira's Digimon to Digital City.
