Digimon Life

Anime & Manga

⇨ Japanese
A Digimon that possesses power over Wood which bears the might of one of the legendary Warrior Ten. Countless buds sprouted from Arbormon's surface and grew suddenly, and it changed into a form resembling a giant lizard with plants over its surface. Although it's just like Arbormon in that you can't tell what it's thinking due to its lack of expression, it possesses a great appetite that is the exact opposite of Arbormon, who doesn't require food. When it opens its mouth, it sticks out its ivy-like tongue and swallows anything. Once it swallows its prey, the branches on its back grow and it grins eerily just at that moment. Its physical attacks involve using its branches and tail-whip. It scatters sleep-inducing spores from its moss, which acts as its skin. Its Special Moves are rotating the leaves around its head and firing them (Leaf Cyclone), and making innumerable roots lurking in the ground pop up onto the surface all at once, skewering enemies in the area (Thousand Spike).

Anime[edit]

Digimon Frontier[edit]

Using the Beast Spirit of Wood, Arbormon became Petaldramon. He has a huge appetite and never seems to get full. He once captured some Burgamon to cook hamburgers for him until the Legendary Chosen stopped him. His last fight was against the Legendary Chosen when they were trying to enter the Dark Continent. Vritramon and Shutumon knocked out Petaldramon, and Wolfmon scanned his Beast Spirit.

Digimon Adventure:[edit]

First appears in "Hikari and the Moving Forest".

Petaldramon is a giant Digimon whose entire body is a moving forest. Both Palmon and Tailmon knew of it, with the latter describing it as "an existence known as the living forest which holds great ancient power" and the former as a legend, which she's excited about meeting. When the Chosen Children found it, they thought they had reached a forest, only to realize soon later that they were on top of a giant Digimon. Furthermore, by checking it from the skies, Takenouchi Sora and Izumi Koshiro, alongside their partners Birdramon and Kabuterimon, found it was injured. The Chosen Children soon discovered that its body was infested with insects which attacked the forest on its body, commanded by its arch-enemy Entmon, who it fought due to the latter destroying forests and leaving Digimon such as the Muchomon and two Puwamon who travelled on Petaldramon's back without homes. After Yagami Hikari and Tailmon try to fight them, and Petaldramon defends the former, Hikari asks it to allow them to help it, which it accepts by giving the Chosen Children flowers and fruit.

With Angewomon's help, Petaldramon manages to defeat Entmon, sacrificing itself and turning the two Digimon into large plant statues, from which Petaldramon makes a new forest flourish.
