NARAKAMON
Pronunciation nah-RAHK-mon
Level Ultimate
Height 13'2"
Type Demon Beast
Field Nightmare Soldiers
Attribute Virus
Name Origin In Dharmic religions, Naraka is a realm where karma is paid off.
First Appearance Episode 28
Personality
Narakamon has no real sense of empathy, viewing everything around him with an immature glee, like the world is a playground for him and him alone-- and he's the kind of kid who would have burned ants with a magnifying glass. He is a long-time devotee of the Whisperer, or maybe fanboy is the better term, and he deeply admires the refugee digimon.
Never meet your idols, I suppose.
Attacks
Purging Fire Narakamon breathes a stream of black and purple fire. These flames linger on the ground, burning without fuel until they are actively put out.
Shadow's Karma Narakamon materializes shadowy arms out of the orbs set into his shoulders and slashes out over a wide radius. He can also send these shadowy hands flying at his opponents as a ranged attack.
Species Information
Narakamon will fight until it literally falls apart. In battle, it is so clouded by bloodlust that it cannot distinguish between friend or foe, driven only by the desire to kill its enemies and inflict pain. The fire on its head and tail do not give off any light, only heat. Some say that its attacks used to be known by way lamer names. Don't think too hard about it.
VICIMON
Pronunciation VEE-che-mon
Level Mega
Height 11'5"
Type Harbinger Beast
Field Nightmare Soldiers, Jungle Troopers
Attribute Virus
Name Origin From Avīci, the lowest level of Naraka, where souls go to pay off their karma before being reborn. Doubles as pun on Latin vici, "I conquered" (as in "veni, vidi, vici")
First Appearance Episode 36
Personality
If you thought Narakamon had a few screws loose, Vicimon is an entire bucket of nuts and bolts that's been upturned on the floor. He takes pleasure in antagonizing and taunting his victims-- and everyone he comes across is a potential victim. His reckless attitude, lighting-quick temper, and almost maniacal glee at causing suffering can make him come across as somewhat childish, but his ruthless battle style and sadism makes it hard to laugh either at or with him. He fights with almost no regard the safety of himself or any of his his allies, making him unpredictable.
It may be a cliché to say that some people simply want to watch the world burn, but it'd hard to take that more completely literally than Vicimon does. Even so, sometimes -- in rare moments of lucidity -- it seems like he's got more going on under the hood than he lets on.
Attacks
Devouring Flames Vicimon summons a trio of flaming tiger skulls that float behind him, which then fly at and attack enemies, either one at a time or all together. Upon contact, they explode into molten shrapnel.
Burning Earth Vicimon places his hands on the ground, and the flames that compose his hands surge out in all directions, spreading like cracks along every available surface. When he lifts his hands, the cracks expand upwards into walls of purple flame. The longer he keeps his hands on the ground, the wider the attack's range, but he can deliberately use it more quickly as a close-range attack.
Avici's Fury Vicimon's entire body engulfs in violet flame and he bumrushes his enemy in an all-out assault; he slashes out wildly and breathes fire at point-blank range.
Species Information
Vicimon is not immune to the flames that engulf its arms, and it is said that living with the pain of the cursed flames drove it mad. It is unmistakable when Vicimon is around because of the powerful stench of burning rot that surround it.
