Manticoremon

Profile Name & Etymology Debut Design & Analysis Digimon Reference Book Anime & Manga Misc ⇨ Japanese A ferocious Demon Beast Digimon that prefers the Digicores of Virus Digimon. It is employed by Angel-species Digimon, who noticed its fixation on fiendish viruses. It lacks intelligence and reason, and its sole raison d'être is simply to crave for and consume the data of others. Its Special Moves are firing energy shots from the three mouths on its head and arms (Trinity Gospel), and skewering the enemy with its three tails and injecting a strong acid into their body (Acid Injection). There are times when even the Angel-species Digimon that employed Manticoremon are unable to control it due to the extreme brutality it displays during battle.

It is similar to the Egyptian sphinx. Year Active 2020 Digimon Reference Book Entry Date October 27, 2020 Anime Digimon Ghost Game: "Werewolf" V-Pet Digimon Pendulum Z II Card BT6-041 (DCG) Manticoremon is named after and based on the mythical manticore from ancient Persian mythology. Its design, for the most part, does not draw upon the creatures whose body parts are commonly cited as comprising manticores, but it does feature three of the scorpion tails that manticores are sometimes described as having. Commentary from Digimon Web indicates that Manticoremon's design, which conveys angelic elements despite being a savage folkloric monster, is intended to convey its contradictory nature as a Virus-attribute Virus Buster Digimon. A concept sketch of Manticoremon that was released on Digimon Web depicts Gargomon with an arrow pointing from it to the Manticoremon sketch, indicating that Manticoremon may have been at least in part conceptualized as a Perfect evolution of Gargomon. However, the Digimon Pendulum Z II Virus Busters model (Manticoremon's debut, and so far only, virtual pet appearance) does not feature Gargomon, so no evolutionary relationship has been established between these Digimon in any released Digimon media. The Digimoji writing on Manticoremon's neckcloth reads "Judgement unto evil" 「悪に裁きを Aku ni sabaki wo」.

Digimon Ghost Game

The Darcmon use Manticoremon as servants.

In "Werewolf" , one Darcmon's Manticoremon escapes and, after consuming data pertaining to a rural Japanese town's legend about a werewolf, believes itself to be that werewolf and begins terrorizing the town, re-enacting the legend's account of when it attacks people, and how many people it attacks. Its attacks deliver a potent venom.

In order to stop the "werewolf", Tsukiyono Ruli, a descendant of a princess from the legend, offers to further re-enact the legend and offer herself as a sacrifice. Manticoremon attacks her and her friends, and immobilizes Betel Gammamon and Thetismon with its venom. Ruli and Symbare Angoramon's determination to not fall for its pretense to the legend and to not let it beat them empowers Symbare Angoramon to Super Evolve into Lamortmon for the first time, and Lamortmon overpowers and subdues Manticoremon until its Darcmon handler arrives. Darcmon purges the legend data from it and takes it back to the heavens.
