⇨ Original
Like Demon, it was originally a high-ranking Angel Digimon, but it fell to the Dark Area and is now one of the Demon Lord Digimon. Despite being a Demon Lord Digimon, it differs from other Fallen Angel and Devil Digimon in that it does not dedicate itself to performing evil deeds, but instead it simply maintains a neutral position as a silent observer. However, it is a terrifying Digimon, and it is told that when the impending final battle arrives, its whitened appearance will change to jet-black darkness, and it will transform into a god of destruction. Its Special Moves are an arrow of death fired from the evil eyes on its hands (Death Arrow), and a destructive beam fired when the eye in its head shines deep crimson (Explosion Eye).

Appearances

Anime

Digimon Adventure:

Deathmon first appeared briefly in "Holy Digimon" during the ancient war footage where the Holy Digimon fought against the Dark Digimon. Due to the lighting in it, it's unclear if this Deathmon was grey or black.

Deathmon appeared in the present in "The Angels' Determination". It was formed by the fusion of the swarm of Soundbirdmon that attacked the Tree of Knowledge. While originally grey, it quickly turned into Deathmon (Black), before opening its eye. Tailmon knew it as the one who lead the Dark Digimon, the king of darkness, with Wisemon adding that the records said that the war of light and darkness started when Deathmon attacked, and that it was a mystery why Deathmon wanted to destroy darkness despite belonging in it, but it made sense if Deathmon was an omen of the Great Catastrophe, the face of the disaster that drives the world mad.

Deathmon's silhouette in Digimon Adventure:

Manga

Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01

Saiba Neo fought Yagami Taichi and Zeromaru with a Deathmon that he formed from a Megadramon (who was formed from a Cockatrimon and a Kuwagamon) and a Jyureimon in a fight for the V-Tag of Sky (in the manga this evolution is called Triple-Jogress, since one partner is already a Digimon created by a Fusion Evolution).

While Zero was able to hold himself well against the Megadramon, the powerful Deathmon was too much for Zero and he was nearly defeated. When Taichi fell of the cliff, Zero jumped to rescue him and in this process Zero evolved to Aero V-dramon. In his new form he not only was stronger but could also fly and thus was able to destroy Deathmon by cutting him into pieces with his V-Wing Arrow attack.

In "Frontier Generation", Metamormon became a Deathmon to fight Kanbara Takuya who became Agnimon.

Digimon Life

Digimon Story: Super Xros Wars Blue & Red

Deathmon is a member of ROG and serves alongside Boltmon as the Bloody Elite of Barbamon's Shadow Guard. The pair guards the secret entrance to Lost Space in Sky Garden, obstructing Xros Heart's pursuit of Barbamon.

Boltmon introduces both members before they fight Taiki and his companions. After their defeat, Deathmon reveals that Barbamon has located the Omega Area within Lost Space.

Boltmon then announces that the Shadow Guards will gather there to be absorbed by Armamon and become the strongest weapon. Both disappear, allowing Xros Heart to continue through the Warp Gate towards Lost Space.

  1. ↑ Deathmon was adopted from a winning Digimon entry in the Second Original Digimon Contest (Digimon Web).
  2. ↑ Hadesmon (ハデスモン Hadesumon) contains Deathmon (デスモン Desumon) in Japanese. [EX4-072 Digital Translator] no longer applies to Deathmon as of May 29, 2026, as an errata has changed the text of the card to only apply to Dukemon, Sakuyamon, and Saint Galgomon.
