Monochromon

Monochromon is a Dinosaur Digimon. It has grown a rhinoceros-like horn on its snout. Its huge horn becomes large enough to account for half of its body length as it grows. The hard substance covering parts of its horn and half its body possesses hardness of the same quality as diamond, and it is said that there is nothing that cannot be penetrated by this horn. Monochromon can be said to be a Digimon that excels in both offense and defense. As it is herbivorous, it has a relatively docile personality, but once it is angered, it will continue to unleash terrifying counterattacks from its body like a heavy tank.
