Partner Sam

Personality
Gelermon is sarcastic, cynical, and refuses to back down. She absolutely hates being ordered around, almost more than anything-- she's exactly the type to, when you tell her to do something, she'll do the exact opposite entirely for spite. She can be quite smart and observant when she has to be; she just doesn't like feeling like she has to rely on anybody but herself and her partner for anything. She's very competitive, too, often making things into contests.

Pragmatic and determined, Gelermon is a bit brash and cocky and can sometimes come across as... well, a bit bitchy. She's fiercely loyal to her friends and will never back down from protecting them, especially if the friend in question is Sam, but is slow to warm up to new people and doesn't really care that much for people outside of her circle.

Attacks
Void Paw Gelermon's hands become engulfed in green and black energy, and she strikes out with them, pummelling her foes at close range.
Moon Howler Gelermon fires a swirling green and black beam of energy from her mouth.

Species Information

Type Spirit Beast
Field Nature Spirits

Partner Sam

Personality
Xolomon is blunt and straightforward, preferring to keep her fights short and to the point. Though she is often suspicious of others' intentions, she will never leave an ally to fight alone. She sometimes overestimates her own strength, but she refuses to back down and if she finds she is out-powered, she will always try to find a clever way to work around it.

Attacks
Eclipse Corona A ring of green fire surrounds Xolomon, which then flies at and encircles her target, where it begins to constrict. Alternatively, this attack can also take the form of a straightforward, ring-shaped blast of fire.
Mooneater Xolomon's green markings and the paint on her skull-mask begin to glow as though under a blacklight, while the rest of her body turns pure black. She is replaced by feral and monstrous shadow wolf that leaps into close combat range striking out with razor-sharp claws and snapping jaws. Upon being struck by a physical blow, the shadow vanishes, and reappears where she was when she originally called the attack.

Species Information
Xolomon is said to be a guide of the lost, using the light of their green-fire tails to light paths in the darkness. However, if it feels it is being taken advantage of, it can be quite vengeful, leading those who follow it astray and attacking them in the dark. It is best to present Xolomon with a gift or offering before following it.

Partner Sam

Personality
Grimmon, like other catalyst evolution digimon, has a vengeful and violent personality. She is wild and uncontrollable, with little regard for her surroundings and a nasty temper. Her pride is overwhelming, and she views any interference or offers to help as a dire insult, having a "me against everyone else" attitude.

Attacks
Hellfire Grimmon's entire front half is engulfed by acid-green fire, and she full-body tackles an enemy. Anything the fire touches gives off a toxic green smoke, and the flames are hot enough to melt lead.
Black Metal Grimmon's claws transmutate into black digizoid metal, and she rushes at an enemy, slashing and tearing.

Species Information
Grimmon's body is full of highly corosive and toxic materials; the flames on its neck burn bright-green as these excess poisons are burned off. It is said to be the spirit of a guard-dog digimon who was burned alive. It smells of sulfur and rotten flesh.

Level Champion
Height 8'3"
Type Beast
Field Nature Spirits
Attribute Virus
Name Origin Norse. Geri and Freki (both meaning 'ravenous') were the wolves that accompanied Odin.
Partner Sam

Personality
Frekimon fights viciously, and much of her personality follows suit. She's quick to anger, and sometimes even acts borderline-feral. She often acts in a way that implies she thinks she's the leader of any group she's a part of. Luckily, this has an upside-- she'll never leave a member of her 'pack' to fight alone. She often laughs and taunts her foes in battle.

Attacks
New Moon Fire Frekimon fires a powerful blast of green fire from her mouth. It is not a stream, more like a powerful, concussive fireball.
Ravenous Hunter Frekimon's hands are consumed by the fire on her wrists as she leaps in and slashes a foe at close range.

Species Information
Much like its previous form, Frekimon can run quickly on all four while it fights standing upright, but it has sacrificed some of its agility for better combat prowess. Frekimon is a master tracker; its prey never escapes it, even on the blackest nights, as it has keen senses and a stubborn, determined temperament.
