Myotismon

Guess we've put this guy off long enough. The anime artwork really doesn't look as good as most official digimon art, but it's the only larger-sized illustration I can find, and such a major villain of the series kind of demands more than a 320-pixel square. Myotismon is actually a possible perfect level evolution of Devimon, but more vampire-themed than demon-themed, despite the Japanese name Vamdemon. It's hard to pick a favorite between his two possible names; they didn't want to call something a "demon" for English-speaking audiences I guess, even after "Devimon" was apparently fine, so they named him after Myotis, the genus that includes all mouse-eared bats but not, ironically, the vampire bats. Poser!

Myotismon is the first digimon villain to attempt an invasion of the real world, which raises a lot of questions about how exactly this stuff works. Digimon are made of computer data and their entire world is supposed to be a sort of metaphysical realm formed by our internet, or something, but apparently they can manifest in our world as physical matter anyway. Physical enough that Myotismon is even actually seen stalking, biting and draining blood from human beings!

I've not that much to say about Myotismon's design. He's got that fun early Digimon lankiness but he's otherwise just a vampire man. He seems to be considered one of the sexiest humanlike Digimon guys, but if I were gonna judge that myself I'd rank some of the Devimons and Wizardmon higher on that scale.
