Tortomon is a Reptile Digimon. It is a tortoise-type Digimon armed with a shell from which sharp blades grow. It is heavier than it looks, as both its shell and body have formed to be highly dense, such that it creates fierce tremors with every step it takes. Furthermore, it holds the alias "Noisy Digimon" ("Noise Digimon") due to its shrill, metallic-sounding cry. While its usual walking movements are extremely slow, it can retract its limbs so that its body is in the shape of a disc and spin itself, allowing it to move at ten times its usual speed.[1]

Attacks

  • Strong Carapace (Shell Phalanx): Fires the blades on its shell as if they were multiple-warhead missiles.
  • Spinning Attack (回転たいあたり Kaiten Tai Atari?, lit. "Spinning Body Blow")
  • Grand Dash

Fiction[]

Digimon Adventure 02[]

Main article: Tortomon (Adventure)

A Tortomon attacks when Davis and Veemon accidentally saw him urinating. When rocks fell and Tortomon knocked them away, he chased Davis and Veemon to the other locations where the other DigiDestined were helping to repair parts of the Digital World that had been damaged, but seemed too intimidating from his anger for anyone else to actually try and fight him off. He finally cornered them on a cliff near the ocean. As a last ditch effort to confuse Tortomon long enough to escape, Davis requested he "wash your hands" since he "Didn't want to get any bad germs" (he did manage to confuse Tortomon into inspecting his hands in a puzzled manner, but apparently it just made him more enraged). Just then, Veemon Digivolved to his Champion form of ExVeemon for the first time and knocked him off the cliff. But Tortomon wasn't done, as he used his Spinning Attack, leading ExVeemon and Davis to cover their eyes in horror, thinking he was coming back for round 2. In reality, he washed his hands like Davis requested him to do (to follow up on that cut scene) and walked off laughing for some unexplained reason. In the Japanese version, it was seen that Tortomon actually urinated before washing his hands. This Tortomon only spoke during his Digimon Analyser segment. Davis Cries Wolfmon

Tai and Zero decide to fight it, but when Zero hurts his hand trying to punch the Tortomon in its shell, Gabo explains that Digimon from Folder are much stronger than those they had fought previously on File Island. However, Tai notices that Tortomon's "Shell Phalanx" leaves an unprotected area on its shell, and despite Gabo's skepticism, Zero is able to pierce it with his "V-Breath Arrow", defeating the Digimon. 100% Tamer!!
