Piedmon (Digimon Adventure)

==Summary==
Piedmon is the second to final villain of Digimon Adventure, only being usurped by Apocalymon. Piedmon serves as the leader and strongest member of the Dark Masters who were created by Apocalymon. Years before the events of Digimon Adventure, Piedmon and the other Dark Masters fought and sealed away the 4 Holy Beasts and gained control over the Digital World. He was finally defeated by getting sealed away in MagnaAngemon's Heaven's Gate, being bested by the light he attempted to snuff out with his darkness.

Intelligence: True to his nature as a clown, Piedmon is a trickster by nature. He fights pragmatically, attempting to steal the Crests before the DigiDestined could use them and teleporting around his opponents before turning them into helpless keychains. He is also skilled in close-combat, easily fighting WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon on even ground. However, due to his nature as a sadist, he becomes overconfident when he has the upper hand and becomes sloppy, allowing T.K. to get the Crest of Hope to Digivolve Patamon into MagnaAngemon.
Weaknesses: Something of a sadist and like to fool around with his opponents due to his nature as a clown, somewhat overconfident when he has the upper hand. Vaccine Digimon. It is possible to deceive Piedmon in Masks Square if you register false commands in your mind. Piedmon is heavily weak against Holy powers.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Clown Trick: This attack has been used to cover several attacks:
**He throws a giant tablecloth at the opponent. If it touches the opponent it transforms them into a key chain.
**Conjures a ring of fire to attack opponents
**Creates a large ball and has it come out of the ground beneath the opponent to trip them up.
**Disguises himself (made himself look like a normal clown in Episode 40)
**Reflects an opponent's attack back.
*Ending Snipe: Emits electricity from both hands to electrocute his opponents.
*Final Spell: Generates a massive explosion wide enough to cover several city blocks
*Mask's Square: Creates a field in which all communications can be read by Piedmon and allows it to teleport itself and its attacks anywhere at will. Piedmon's Reality Warping is heavily strengthened in this realm and he has complete control over the realm. Masks Square also allows him to read his opponent's mind as well as listen to every conversation. He can also control his opponent's body, preventing them from even attacking.
*Trump Sword: Piedmon flings his four swords at his opponent to skewer them. When he gets serious he creates illusionary swords to distract foes from the real ones before teleporting them into the target directly.
*Toy Wonderness: Creates powerful gusts of wind with a swipe of his hand.
*Texture Blow: Forcefully turns the opponent into a sprite while nullifying their abilities.
*Destruction: A darkness based attack that has a chance of instantly killing the opponent.
