The Digimon Reference Book is a vast collection of data on Digimon. This valuable information was compiled through the observations of Digimon researchers, gya. This time, I'll explain about the details of each section of the Reference Book, gya.
A Reptile Digimon with an appearance resembling a small dinosaur, it has grown and become able to walk on two legs. Its strength is weak as it is still in the process of growing, but it has a fearless and rather ferocious personality. Hard, sharp claws grow from both its hands and feet, and their power is displayed in battle. It also foreshadows an evolution into a great and powerful Digimon. Its Special Move is spitting a fiery breath from its mouth to attack the opponent (Baby Flame).
