[[Category:Virus Busters
Nature Spirits family]] Marsmon is a God Man Digimon. One of the "Olympos XII", it is a Digimon god of war which has the appearance of a panther-man. Marsmon is familiar with all the ways in the world to fight dirty without weapons, and has absolute confidence in battles with others in the same weight class. It uses basic wrestling techniques, but is fixated on victory and glory, so when push comes to shove it won't hesitate to use concealed weapons like its "Tria Knuckle" or "Metal Cothurnus". However, it exhibits its real power when it uses its bare hands and feet.[3]
