Thundermon

Group: Mutant – Level: Champion – Type: Data – Attack Techniques: Thunder Volt, Thunder Bomber

The first Thundermon the kids encountered was not actually a real Digimon, but was actually an unliving construct, created from a Control Spire by Arukenimon. This Thundermon attacked Cody and Digmon in an underground tunnel as theDigiDestined worked to repair a Punimon village – Digmon was no match for the miniscule Digimon’s speed and electric powers, and reverted to Armadillomon before Thundermon brought the tunnel crashing down. This, however, caused Armadillomon to Digivolve to Ankylomon for the first time, and he burst out of the tunnel, keeping Cody safe. Cody, however, was then swept up by a gale created by Thundermon, but was saved by Stingmon, who then wasted no time in destroying the Thundermon with his Spiking Strike. The DigiDestined, especially Yolei, were horrified, and thought Ken and his Digimon hadn’t changed at all, until they learned the truth later on. Two Thundermon were later seen during the final battle with MaloMyotismon. Thundermon appear in “If I had a Tail Hammer” and “A Million Points of Light.” Name: From “thunder.” Bandai refers to this Digimon as “Thunderballmon.”
