Digimon Reference Book Virtual Pets Anime & Manga Video Games
⇨ Japanese
An Insect Digimon armed with gigantic pincers on its head. Like Kabuterimon, it has combat abilities that far exceed those of similar species that inhabit File Island. It is protected by its tenacious power and sturdy shell, and in particular, as the power of its pincers is super-powerful, once it clamps an enemy it will squeeze until the opponent's life is extinguished. There is a perfect rivalry between it and the Vaccine-attribute Kabuterimon, and there is only "Conflict" between them. Its Special Move is able to easily cut hard substances to pieces (Scissor Arms).

Anime[edit]

Digimon Adventure[edit]

A Kuwagamon appears in "Adrift? The Island of Adventure!" and is the first wild Digimon to attack the Chosen Children. The children and their Digimon flee from Kuwagamon until they find themselves on a cliff. The Digimon of the children attack their enemy all at once, but with little effect. When they all evolve to their Child forms, they are seemingly able to defeat Kuwagamon with their attacks. However, it gets back up and jams its pincers into the cliff, breaking it off and sending the children and their partners plunging into the river. At the beginning of "Explosive Evolution! Greymon", Kuwagamon is seen falling towards the river, but misses to hit the Chosen Children with its pincers.

In "The Fairy! Piccolomon", another Kuwagamon attacks Agumon and Yagami Taichi. It is attacked out of the sudden by Piccolomon with Bit Bomb and presumably destroyed.

After the defeat of Venom Vamdemon in "Two Great Ultimate Evolutions! Get Rid of the Darkness!", a Kuwagamon appears in the Real World.

Digimon Xros Wars[edit]

Digimon Dreamers[edit]

In "Travelling Tamer", suddenly, Wakamiya Jo tackled Kodou Ritsu, Pulsemon and Bokomon out of the way of the attack of a Kuwagamon. Ritsu asked if they were wild Digimon who came to attack Asunaro Village, but Jo took responsibility instead, explaining they were assassins sent to keep him away from the S Dimension, to Pulsemon's surprise as he thought Jo was lying. Pulsemon proclaimed he'd protect Asunaro Village, but Jo said they'd take care of them as they were his enemies, confusing Ritsu as he talked in plural. Jo then pulled out a shell and blew on it, summoning his Partner Digimon, Wingdramon. Jo explained the situation to him, while Ritsu was surprised such a strong-looking Digimon had shown up, and Pulsemon thought he was very cool. Jo got on Wingdramon, and Pulsemon soon followed, dragging Ritsu with him against his will, as he was afraid of heights. A mid-air battle then started, but it was quickly ended by Wingdramon's Blaze Sonic Breath killing the Kuwagamon.

Kuwagamon makes a cameo in "Steal Pulsemon!", as one of the Digimon in Dr. Vademon's stasis tanks alongside Kabuterimon.

Kuwagamon serves as the first boss and first enemy fought of the game, fighting the Chosen Children at the end of the first Episode, "Adrift? Island of Adventure!". As in the anime, this is preceded by the seven Partner Digimon's first evolution into the Child level.

They also appear as random enemies starting from Episode 3, "The Blue Wolf! Garurumon". They can deal damage to one party Digimon with Scissor Arms and deal damage and Shock with Power Guillotine.

Stronger versions named Kuwagamon ★ appear from Episode 15, "Centalmon, the Guardian!", onwards.

A Kuwagamon attacks Yagami Taichi and Agumon at the start of Episode 23, "The Fairy! Piccolomon". Taichi and Agumon are unable to protect themselves, as that would require Agumon to evolve, and Taichi was scared that another Dark Evolution may occur. Thankfully, the duo was saved by the appearance of Piccolomon, who blew Kuwagamon away with his Pit Bomb.

Even stronger versions of Kuwagamon, named Kuwagamon ★★, appear as random enemies starting from Episode 23, "The Fairy! Piccolomon".

A Kuwagamon was one of the spectators of the Colosseum's DigiOne Grand Prix in Sub-Episode 10, "DigiOne Grand Prix".

Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode[edit]

After recruiting Kabuterimon, Taiga found Kuwagamon with its pincers stuck under a rock in Fluorescent Cave. After they introduced themselves to each other, the "famous" Kuwagamon asked Taiga for a favour, to destroy the rock. However, Digimaru ended up attacking Kuwagamon instead of the rock, so Kuwagamon told Taiga to bring something to do it instead. Having heard something explode, Kuwagamon sent Taiga to get it. After Taiga got a Training Bomb from the Bomb Evasion training machine, he used it to destroy the rock, though it also knocked Kuwagamon out. It's back up by the next day and congratulates Taiga on destroying the rock. It responds to Taiga's worries about it by saying it was just pretending to be dead, and Taiga won't get very far if he can't even see that, so it makes him its disciple and gives him the Kuwaga Autograph, then goes back to the Village of Beginnings. This awards Taiga the Kuwagamon's Disciple medal. Taiga can then talk to Kuwagamon in the streets of the Village of Beginnings, where it asks him about Kabuterimon. Learning it is in the Gym, Kuwagamon enters it, and then immediately picks a fight with its rival, a fight it quickly loses. Kabuterimon then forces Kuwagamon to leave. If Taiga talks to Kuwagamon again on the street, it asks Taiga to leave it alone so it can grow stronger, then leaves again. It comes back after three days, stronger but not strong enough, so it asks Taiga for three hours of his time to help it finish its training. With that, it managed to beat Kabuterimon, so it left on a training trip. Kuwagamon then improved the training machines, increasing their stat boots in ATK, SPD and MP but removing Kabuterimon's improvements on DEF, BRN and HP.

A Kuwagamon is fought in the Colosseum 10th floor Free Battle: "Card Collector", alongside its Tamer, Speedy Kenji. This awards Taiga a Culumon card. A Meramon and a Kuwagamon are fought in the 30th floor Free Battle: "My son is very strong", alongside their Tamers, Healthy and Habanero.
