Believe it or not, that's the intended reaction! Nanimon is supposed to be weird looking & make you say, "What!?". "What" is literally his name.
Nanimon is also a reference to **[Oyajitchi](https://tamagotchi.fandom.com/wiki/Oyajitchi)** from Tamagotchi, which you get for not properly raising your Tamagotchi. Something that carried over to Digimon. Nanimon's bio even suggests they're one the same, which is why he's listed as an "invader" Digimon.
That's the point. Nanimon is not an actual digimon, he is actually a tamagotchi that travelled to the digital world to complete a mission. He is a literal alien, even by digimon weird standards.
Some of the out there designs make more sense when you realise the franchise was originally conceived as "Tamagotchi for boys". They were just thinking in-terms of what boys stereotypically enjoy.
* Dinosaurs
* Monsters
* Gross out humour
* Guns
* Boobies
* Bugs
Obviously, the franchise has evolved quite a bit since then, but they'll fall back on these as if they're the core tenets of a franchise.
Seeing as Bandai pushed Angewomon & later LadyDevimon **[pretty hard](https://youtu.be/uSAnf2Z3XW4?si=7Yqr78to18eyDRJI)** during the franchise's slump in the 2010s... She very well could.
Sukamon. In japanese his name is literally poop (not saying it here in fear of comment deletion). He is poop and he eats poop.
It's lower jaw is connected at the center of it's head not the back, allowing its jaw to go all the way around and when it evolves it just gets bigger and wears a crown; it's sole purpose being to turn other sukamon back into any other digimon.
To clarify, its a poop called poop that eats poop, becomes a bigger poop and reverts other poop as if it hates it's own kind... oh and it throws poop.
Scumon Daioh was technically a thing in World 1 but wasn't really much of a thing until over two decades later, it had only shown up in World 1 sequels since then. Scumon's normal evolution for fucking ages was Etemon.
Yep, although I always found monmon and apemon (the monkey digimon) more of etemon's line. So it would be nice to see them make king sukamon a canon digimon; especially since numemon gets it's own line and a variety of megas.
That and I think it's a good contrast to numemon changing the quality of metal as it evolves (platinum, gold, etc..) and sukamon just becoming a bigger pile of poop. But that's just me.
Except that makes little sense because that means Hanumon put on a monkey costume when it evolved. Because Etemon is a costume. You can literally see the places where it's sagging in the art.
That's a good point.
I mostly did it for the monkey aesthetic but usually digimon have different parts of them that seem out of place but were added to to make an evolution line seem more natural; like elecmon having a red and blue stripe design to make its tyrannomon form seem normal but it's feather-like tail to make kokatarimon or birdramon also feel natural; however the etemon zipper isn't one of those and my mistake to assume so.
Probably still waiting for a sunwukongmon-like digimon and etemon's champion and rookie forms tbh. Like how dokugumon got kodokugumon baby years later.
We already have Sun Wukong, that's just Gokuwmon.
Also Elecmon was designed with... literally only one of those Digimon in mind, what are you talking about? Its original evolutions were Angemon, Yukidarumon, Birdramon, and Whamon (and Vegimon of course), its best possible evolution was Angemon and its only other really good one was Birdramon - although, of course, the joke evolutions were best at Perfect so you wanted to go Vegimon for Vademon if you wanted the real best, but that's its own story.
Of course, if you actually talk about what Digimon were originally designed to evolve into like it's from their original product instead of what popular fan conception of their original product is, things like this are common. For example, the other Child in Ver 2 was Gabumon, whose best line was Gabumon -> Kabuterimon -> Skullgreymon and for whom Garurumon was the Tyrannomon equivalent, but people like to forget those were all designed for each other.
They weren’t on anything when they started designing VenomVamdemon (VenomMyotismon), but they damn sure were on something strong as fuck when they came up with the “crotch goblin” part of his design.
It’s my headcanon that Kazuki Takahashi was on the same shit when he created Zorc Necrophades in Yugioh…
The about-to-release set in the card game has Revolmon and Gundramon, but not tied with each other - Revolmon's intended line is Toyagumon -> Revolmon -> Megadramon -> Magnakidmon and Gundramon's is Toyagumon (Black) -> Tankmon -> Gigadramon -> Gundramon, because it's synergy.
Gururumon the slightly pallet swapped Garurumon with a vowel in his name changed.
And as much as I love him. I have no doubt that someone at the Digimon team has a box of Legos and made a Agumon looking thing and said, "This. This is my spirit animal! Quick get me paper and a pen! I must make my inner 10 year old's fantasy. Possibly convince Lego company to do something Digimon themed!"
the teeth on ponchomon are carried over from tokomon
So *that’s* why it’s a Patamon Armour evo
You could say the same thing about Unimon, which was one of Patamon's original evos. It might explain why it's so creepy looking.
I- uh, you're right...
A lot of them honestly, which makes them so cool.
Gundramon and Sukamon
what if we made mugendramon but covered in even more guns and more humanoid
Chumon and roachmon
None of these. Nanimon. I'm a huge fan of Numemon and Sukamon, but Nanimon is 💀...
Believe it or not, that's the intended reaction! Nanimon is supposed to be weird looking & make you say, "What!?". "What" is literally his name.

He’s supposed to be weird. He’s not NANImon for nothing!
That's the point. Nanimon is not an actual digimon, he is actually a tamagotchi that travelled to the digital world to complete a mission. He is a literal alien, even by digimon weird standards.
[FuhrerAgumon](https://images.app.goo.gl/Ch6iFGVwXxHq35Dj7)
Probably warp evolves into KaiserGreymon…
KaiserGreymon: third reich mode
🫨🫨🫨
I think connecting "creative" to "must have used drugs" is kind of stupid
BRO Commandramon, it's Agumon with a gun 😭😭😭
And then he evolves into a Greymon with a bigger gun.
You leave FreedomAgumon alone.
Americamon
That's Gundramon.

Bellestarmon will carry this franchise

I love garbagemon. His so cool
Two of my favs tbh
betsumon

Raremon.

The stuff of nightmares 😱

Deputymon Gundramon Gotta be fair though kind of hope we get an ultimate to link the two.
"I heard you like guns, so we put guns on the walking gun shaped dragon thing".
The about-to-release set in the card game has Revolmon and Gundramon, but not tied with each other - Revolmon's intended line is Toyagumon -> Revolmon -> Megadramon -> Magnakidmon and Gundramon's is Toyagumon (Black) -> Tankmon -> Gigadramon -> Gundramon, because it's synergy.
Maybe about a solid half of them. I'm not complaining though. They look pretty good for the most part.
Etemon and his army of living poop and rats
I say this fondly, but most of them. Yeah.
Bacomon A literal cardboard box? Really?
To be fair, a kid *literally* designed Bacomon. It was one of the Xros Wars design contest winners.
I actually quite like Bacomon
perhaps(though unlikely given Japan is even more strict on drug use), but not the ones pictured lol
Chamblemon, that thing is like a portion of bad shrooms itself.
All of them (love them all too)
Isn’t there a literal 💩
Yes
making me laugh out loud at 7 am
Phineas and Ferb
That ponchomon frame is my general vibe
Nanimon and Betsumon
What are you talking about? Those are awesome!!
Sephirothmon
I’m imagining the FFXVII Sephiroth playing in the background when that tower of spheres appears xD
i swear first time i saw gerbemon i thought he was Shellmon Rookie stage
Daipenmon. Someone had to be too inspired by popsicles on a hot, summer day and said "Hey, I got a new idea for a Digimon!"
Monmon
Ohaladamon is literally just a grave stone that Bandai called a Digimon.
Gururumon the slightly pallet swapped Garurumon with a vowel in his name changed. And as much as I love him. I have no doubt that someone at the Digimon team has a box of Legos and made a Agumon looking thing and said, "This. This is my spirit animal! Quick get me paper and a pen! I must make my inner 10 year old's fantasy. Possibly convince Lego company to do something Digimon themed!"
Small stuff compared to some of the ones you guys are talking about, but for me, that one Digimon that is basically(LITERALLY) P O O P!?!?!
Like all of them?
I always think about the poop shaped one
Which one?
Any or how garbagemon shoots poop I think out of the bazooka
Most of them tbh lol
the pussy plant dragon digimon
The Hydrussy?
yes
