Arbormon is a fictional character in
Digimon and is a major character in . He was voiced byRichard Cansino (US), who did an impersonation ofSylvester Stallone as Rocky, andKenji Nomura (Japan).Description
Arbormon is the Legendary Warrior of Wood, using the power of
AncientTroiamon . His Beast Hybrid form is Petaldramon.A wooden android Digimon modeled after a
Karakuri puppet, Arbormon is notorious for seemingly randomly giving advice for a good life (this personality trait was not retained in the dubbed version). Arbormon's primary traits are sloth and gluttony, having spent most of the series either trying to find something to eat or sleeping. However, he is fiercely loyal to his allies and his primary goal in fighting theDigiDestined was to avengeGrumblemon having his Beast Spirit lost. Arbormon was capable of Slide Evolving to Petaldramon.Ultimately, he fought the DigiDestined on his own and was defeated, whereupon his Beast Spirit was absorbed by Lobomon. Immediately afterwards, Duskmon appeared and killed Arbormon, stating that, without his Beast Spirit, Arbormon was useless. After his death, Arbormon's Human Spirit was absorbed by Duskmon. Later on when Koji took the Spirits of Darkness, he also took Arbormon's Spirit (though it wasn't shown clearly). Arbormon's spirits were later transferred into Takuya's D-Tector so he could Hyper Spirit Evolve to EmperorGreymon.
A purified Arbormon later appeared at the Village Of Beginnings to help the other legendary warriors fight
Crusadermon andDynasmon .Abilities
