[[Category:(Ja:) Aquatic, Mollusk
(En:) Sea Animal type]]
Shellmon is a Sea Animal Digimon whose name and design are derived from the mythological Sazae-oni (栄螺鬼? lit. "Shellfish ogre"). It is a hermit crab-like Digimon that lives in the margins of the "Net Ocean". Although it has a turtle-like appearance when its settled inside its shell, for all intents and purposes it has a soft body like a mollusk. Because its body rapidly gets bigger as it grows, it replaces its home each time until it reaches the size of a small mountain. Also, if its body can fit all the way in, it has a habit of settling in completely. Since it has low intelligence and a belligerent personality, you must be careful if you come across a Shellmon.[1]
