From Wikimon

Ainz, I need you to check this translation, as I am completely unwilling to use it right now:

Called the "Devil Beast" out of terror of the exceedingly mighty power that this monster possesses, it is counted as one of the "Seven Great Demon Lords" and is the strongest monster existing in the Digital World. This extensive monster, possessing gigantic jaws said to be able to guzzle even the Digital World, is reported to sleep in the deeps of the Net Ocean near to the Dark Area, and if one time it is awakened it will look down on any kind of Digimon to the fullest, not to mention other Demon Lord Digimon, but it is said it will run away in horror from Angel Digimon. However, as the existence of the limits on Digimon are decoded, its own appears similar to nothingness, and it is said that it builds the foundation for the existence of wickedness in the Digital World. Its Special Moves are destroying everything with its gigantic jaws (Rostrum), and mowing everything down with its long tail (Cauda).

I'm fairly confident about everything not in italics, but the whole "despise" bit just sounds so completely awkward...but I can't figure out what else it could mean.

It could be that "it is the most contemptible of any Digimon, and will run away in fear from Angel Digimon, let alone other Demon Lord Digimon", which honestly seems like it would work better, but doesn't fit with it being the strongest of the SGDL. If you're not having any more luck with this than me, though, that's what I'd go with. KrytenKoro06 08:46, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

The problem with that is that "any Digimon" is clearly the subject of the contempt...maybe...maybe it despises any

ENVY!!!

"It despises any Digimon at the top, and will flee even Angel Digimon, much less other Demon Lord Digimon"

This extensive monster, said to possess gigantic jaws which could guzzle even the Digital World, is reported to sleep in the dephts of the Net Ocean nearest to the Dark Area, and if it is awakened, it will despise any Digimon at the top, and will flee even Angel Digimon, much less other Demon Lord Digimon.

I'm having similar problems, I've even tried forcing the sentence fit to relate to its "strength" to get something like "...once awakened, it will despise any Digimon at the top, and is said that other Demon Lord Digimon fear it, and will even flee, not to mention Angel Digimon...", but that goes completely against the whole structure/syntax of the sentence. Other that that, I'm getting similar results to yours for that particular section, so probably "It despises any Digimon at the top, and will flee even Angel Digimon, much less than other Demon Lord Digimon" would be the most appropriate to go with --Ainz 11:17, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
DMA's one:
Known as the "Devil's Beast" out of fear due to his mighty powers, this monster is counted within the Digital World as one of the Seven Great Demon Lords. Many are informed that he sleeps and lives at the bottom of the Net Ocean's Dark Area, and his grandiosity and huge chin looms down above other Digimon, and some are told that he could engulf the entire Digital World if he wants to; out of the Seven Great Demon Lords, however, he is the most cowardly and will run away even if his opponent is an Angel type Digimon. However, this Digimon's existence is a must for decoders, with some claiming that he is the root of all evil and some suggesting that he is currently building a nest within the Digital World! His special attacks are "Rostrum", which slams down his chin onto the opponent, and "Cauda", which destroys everything in his path with his wicked whip-like tails.

The DMA's one is very flawed to begin with, there's a lot of grammatical inaccuracies from it being almost entirely generated from a translation engine and also there are some words in there that don't exist in the text at all. --Ainz 16:11, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
