Description

Originally I wanted to name it "Super-fantabulously-fluffy-badass-six-limbed-hyena-dragon-mon" but the space wasn't big enough for it so here's my backup.

See AbnormallyNice's version here!

Crocutamon is great buddies with Delgamon, and their tamers get along great too, so it seems inevitable that they'd be able to DNA digivolve together! Designing a Boudamon-Drakemon fusion was pretty fun; the idea of producing some kind of hyena-dragon was totally one I jumped at!

Crocutamon is actually a Virus type (I don't think that's mentioned anywhere) but he's a pretty benign Virus without having it out for anybody. I felt that between that and Delgamon's Vaccine type status (and the fact that her final form is a Holy type), Crocutamon's darker themes (like the bone motif, grave robbing, black magic/witchcraft, boudas/evil eyes, and grim reaper vibes) would more or less be eradicated. His affinity for the dead would remain, however, and combined with Delgamon's Vaccine/holy line would steer it more towards spirituality and generally good vibes, which is why his beads remain and the digimon gains holy rings. I should also mention this Digimon is enormous, since most of Crocutamon's evolutions are on the big side.

So, Crozendramon! The 'Cro' comes from crocuta crocuta (the spotted hyena's latin name and also obviously Crocutamon's haha). I would have gone with Boudamon's name but as mentioned, removing the "bad" references. Zen = um...zen lol. Dra = dragon or Drakemon.


Crozendramon
Attribute: Vaccine
Family: Virus Busters, Nature Spirits
Element: Fire

Crozendramon is a holy digimon with great dedication to the dearly departed. It serves powerful Holy digimon, and acts as a guardian to the gates of the upper planes, or as a guide to lost or struggling souls hoping to reach paradise. It is extremely wise and very caring, devoted to helping confused spirits and the living alike, offering advice and kindness to any who ask. This is not to be mistaken for weakness, as Crozendramon is a skilled and powerful fighter; it will not hesitate to hit hard and fast to defend those it has deemed under its protection, and is merciless to those who harm the innocent. It is often referred to as the Laughing Dragon, for its wisdom and kindness is always given with good cheer, and it encourages silliness and fun to heal broken souls.

Attacks:
Sunflame ~ A powerful blast of brilliantly white flames. Particularly effective against corrupted Digimon.
Pearl Song ~ The pearl beads in either of its claws begin to glow bright blue before emitting lashes of light. They can be either used outright as an attack, or, with more concentration, act more like ropes to bind an opponent. Crozendramon can also perform a variation of this using the single pearl bead on its tail.
Mend Embers ~ Breathes flame on an ally; these flames do not hurt and instead will heal. If physically uninjured, this move can also ease anger, anxieties, and fears. Can be used on both digimon and humans alike, and even on the spirits of the dead to allow them to pass on.


Thanks for doing this one with me, AbnormallyNice   It was a real blast!

Awesome job! Say, I'm trying to draw a chinese/japanese-style dragon monster but I can't seem to get the body right. Mind if I use Crozendramon as a reference for the design? I promise to give you credit for the original and provide a link. Is that ok with you?

Sure, that's fine! Just give me credit like you said, and I'd love to see it!

Awesome thanks! I'll be sure to do that.

Btw, what do you think of Theobald and Tanamon?

VelkynKarma In reply to Master-Of-Dreams [2015-04-10 03:54:07 +0000 UTC]

Awesome

They're pretty cool! I'll admit at first I thought you were talking about Tanemon (kind of neat how they both turned out to be planty 'mons too). But it's cool to see some plant Digimon again, there hasn't been a lot of those recently. She's got an interesting design! Theobald seems like a nice kid too. Is his hair naturally green, or does he dye it?

Glad you like them! Yeah I can understand that confusion. Tanamon's name is derived from "Tanaman" which means garden in Cebuano (don't you love it when you don't need to spend hours trying the think of how to change the name ) The idea for Anthea and her Digivolution line comes from a mythical plant called the Vegetable Lamb of Tartary  a.k.a. the Berometz plant and I thought it would be neat to see a blend of both flora and fuana in a Digimon's design. And yes, Theo's hair is naturally green.

You won't believe how long I just stared at this with my mouth hanging open. OAO

This. Is. AMAZING! You went all out with the design and WOW! I just can't get over how epic it looks!
And that description is amazing. How you decided the digivolution would turn more to holy instead of dark because the Digimon's personalities and their traits and *blabbers on*
I never would have thought of this! >w<

The personality is fantastic. Boudamon and Drakemon becoming a 'laughing dragon', I can totally see that! ^w^
And the name is just awesome too~
I always find myself admiring the amount of effort and thought you put into these designs.

Now I better get to a design that is equally as awesome, I hope orz

Dawwww, I'm glad you like it! I wanted to do something epically awesome for them since Delgamon and Crocutamon are such good buddies

Honestly it's your last DNA evolution with Shadow that made me start thinking on attributes and Holy alignment to begin with, so I think you'd have thought on it just fine!

As for the personality, I really wanted something that reflected the characters' crests (thus wisdom and caring, for Knowledge and Love). But it also needed to reflect the digimon, and they're both friendly and fun but will kick butt if needed, so I just crunched it all together!

Honestly I think I get a little TOO into Digimon designs lol But it's so relaxing to me, I love it

I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Oh! I like that one. Eastern dragon for the win.

VelkynKarma In reply to Shralen [2014-02-23 01:35:24 +0000 UTC]

Yes, he's definitely partly inspired by Eastern dragons too I figured it would work better with Delgamon's snakey design and Boudamon's mammal head, since Eastern dragons tend to have less reptilian-looking faces...at least in my opinion.
