Etemon is the second of the major antagonists villain in Digimon Adventure 01. He is an evil Digimon who is like an Elvis wannabe in an orange Super Monkey Suit, complete with sunglasses. Unlike the first major villain, Devimon, Etemon is an Ultimate Digimon, and also comical and more of a crime lord than a dark lord, which would be the next Ultimate Digimon, Myotismon.

Appearance

Etemon is an Ultimate Digimon, an Elvis-type man in a monkey suit. Also has a stuffed Monzaemon attached to him. He sometimes carries a microphone or an electric guitar. He always wears shades, and never removes them.

Personality

Etemon has the character of Elvis Presley impersonator. He is often frustrated when people fail to acknowledge his over-inflated ego. Etemon considers himself to be a great singer, and often forces his minions to praise his terrible music.

Unlike most of the villains in the first season, Etemon isn't the most intelligent and tech savy, as he relies on his Gazimon henchmen to work around his network system and computers. And its possible that Etemon captured Datamon so he can force him to access his webmaster, administering his network. To do this, he challenged the robot digimon, and beat him, severely damaging Datamon. The ignorance of using the conniving robotic digimon, however, brought some misery as after Datamon repaired himself and gained control over Etemon's network, just enough to torture Etemon.

Etemon Arc

The DigiDestined encounter him on the continent of Server. Etemon is the master of the Dark Network, and many of his servants like Tyrannomon are connected to the dark cables. Etemon also has many Gazimon and Monochromon working for him. At one point, he makes a clone of Greymon and sends him after the DigiDestined, but the clone and most of Etemon's machinery are destroyed when the real Greymon digivolves into the evil SkullGreymon.

Etemon's base of operation is an inverted pyramid with an underground, rightside up pyramid beneath it. In the upside down pyramid, Etemon and his Gazimon henchmen have survelliance room, observing all the action outside the pyramid. There are passages that lead to an electric fence that which is partcially a fake wall leading to the second pyramid. Underneath that is the center of Etemon's Dark Power Network, which anything suck in there is lost forever.

He is enemies with another antagonist, Datamon. After the DigiDestined unwittingly release Datamon, he turns on them and tries to make a clone of Sora to destroy Etemon in revenge for his defeat and imprisonment, but Tai and the others stop him by rescuing Sora. When Etemon appears, Datamon drops computer viruses into a pit leading to the core of the Dark Network, which goes haywire and growing out of control, increasing the negative energy it preserves by absorbing all of it in the Digital World, including from those who possess it. All of Etemon's servants are sucked into the pit and destroyed, and soon both Datamon and Etemon fall into the nexus of the Dark Network. Datamon is killed. But Etemon, who wields negative energy himself, fuses with the core of the Dark Network, and becomes more powerful. After the pyramids collapse, Etemon turns towards the DigiDestined and attacks them with dangerously-modified Dark Network orbs, which create wormholes in anything they touch. However, Greymon is able to Digivolve using the Tag and Crest, this time into MetalGreymon. Etemon tries to destroy MetalGreymon with a Dark Network attack, but smashes the orb with his Metal Claw. Summoning all the power of the Crest, MetalGreymon defeats Etemon by blasting the Dark Network with his Giga Blaster, ripping open a wormhole and sucking Etemon in.

Return as MetalEtemon

However, it is later revealed during the Dark Master arc that Etemon survives. After he was sucked into the black hole after his defeat, his digital information was scattered across a Digital Limbo - a void where all Digimon's information goes when destroyed. He refused to accept his fate and return to the Digital World until he was much more powerful. By doing this, he reconfigured himself, splicing his data in with that of his Dark Network. This splicing process eventually Digivolves him into a Mega Digimon. He returns to the Digital World, plummeting from the sky among the remains of his Network like a meteor, and emerging from the wreckage as MetalEtemon, who looks nearly the same as before except made entierly out of metal and muscular.

MetalEtemon only appeared in two episodes; in the first, he is distracted when the second Dark Master, Puppetmon, fights him, ending with Puppetmon walking away bored. In the second, he attacks Joe, Mimi, and Leomon, who digivolved into SaberLeomon to fight him, at Digitamamon's diner. As the injured Ogremon attempts to fight MetalEtemon, he fires his Dark Spirits Deluxe at Mimi, but SaberLeomon takes the hit and is mortally wounded. Ikkakumon digivolves to Zudomon and used his Vulcan Hammer on MetalEtemon, but as the metal monkey is made of Chrome Digizoid, it doesn't even faze him. Zudomon then throws his hammer at him, which dents him - the hammer is also made of Chrome Digizoid. SaberLeomon is then able to impale MetalEtemon with his claw, destroying him for good.

Xros Wars

A huge army of Etemon serve Musyamon, and Blastmon. They turned out to be ninjas. BaliBastemon defeated the soldiers of Etemon, then Shoutmon used the Star Sword and destroyed Etemon.

Profile

Appearing suddenly, he mysteriously calls himself the King of Digimon. Rumor has it that he gets on well with Monzaemon, as they manipulate stuff together in the shadows. He wears a "Super Monkey Suit", that can endure any attacks.

Trivia

• Etemon is voiced by Richard Epcar in the English anime, who also did the voice of the more sinister and purely evil Myotismon.

• And just like Myotismon, they both got defeated and returned in a different and more powerful appearance. The only difference is that Myotismon got revived twice and Etemon only once.
• It is interesting to note that two of the main villains, Puppetmon and MetalEtemon, both died in the same episode.
• Etemon is said to be singing rivals with Volcamon.
• Etemon's Champion forms can be either Ogremon or Sukamon.
  
• Etemon's personality is later copied by SuperStarmon in Digimon Frontier. The exceptions are that SuperStarmon is not arrogant like Etemon, and purely has the character of Elvis Presley, while Etemon has the character of an Elvis Presley impersonator.
