Terriermon

BlackTerriermon

**Terriermon** (テリアモン, *Teriamon*) is a Grass/Flying type Vaccine, Rookie class Mon. It was introduced in Generation I and it is the first Mon listed in the Mon record book.

Usually, Terriermon is a Vaccine Mon, but sometimes, it can be a Data Mon. It's usually an evolution of Gummimon.

This mon is a starter in the first Mon game, alongside Charmelemon, and Wartortlmon.

## Biology

Terriermon is a fairly small, Beast-Type Mon. It is covered with creamish-yellow (Often it's shown as white) fur, with some green fur on it's big ears, arms, feet, and chest. On top of it's head, a fairly sized horn is apparent. It also sports 3 little fingers with 1 apposoable thumb, and 3 claws on it's feet. It has black eyes, a nose, and normally a curved mouth.

Terriermon are a very habitable species, being able to live in most areas that aren't too hot or cold in climate. It sometimes likes to live in packs, and normally, it's accompaned by a Lopmon, which it's often born alongside with.

Terriermon are able to use it's long ears as a form of paraglider, being able to glide and float long distances. It can also easily pick up wind with these ears, but unlike Lopmon, it can't use these to fly upwards.

It's often surrounded by mystery, being a Mon with no real evolutionary tree. Due to this, Terriermon, unlike it's counterparts, is able to Digivolve into Mon that are drastically different than it. A good example of this phenomon, is Greymon. Due to their normally calm nature, they aren't seen as potentially powerful Mon, however, if a Terriermon needs to, it can showcase an intense showing of power.

It is also a Mon with the Crest Trait, being able to Armor-Digivolve.

## Info as a fighter

Terriermon is one of the best Flank class Mon in the game. Terriermon is able to knock out, or cripple critical opposing Mon that might be giving your Mon a hard time. It isn't the best hitter, but it's good at what it can do. A good part about this Mon, is it's ability to cripple Mon much higher classed than it. Plus with it's mixed typing, it is able to come in, and put high powered and dangerous Mon into a critical situation.

A bad weakness about this Mon is it's low health overall. The Data/Support variation isn't a great Mon in it's own right. It is also average in speed, having a hard time with other, faster Rookies like Shoutmon (and it's subspecies) and Gabumon.

Counters this Mon can cripple include, Veemon, Marstompmon, and Renamon.
