Pteromon

Pteromon is a Bird Dragon Digimon. It freely soars through the skies over vast woodlands. The horns on its head are soft organs that play much more of a sensory role than an offensive one. By reading wind currents with these horns, Pteromon can acutely perceive changes in climate. Pteromon is extremely curious about other kinds of creatures, and often thinks of ways to fly alongside and make contact with other Digimon. These include Rookie Digimon like Biyomon and Falcomon, as well as, sometimes, larger Champions and Ultimates. Pteromon also has the ability to instantaneously regrow its feathers as a means of easing its wounds when hurt.
