Golemon

Group: Rock - Level: Champion - Type: Virus - Attack Techniques: Crimson Curse, Rock Punch, Rock Ball The Golemon encountered by the DigiDestined was not actually a living Digimon, but was in fact created from a Control Spire by Arukenimon. While in the process of transforming the Spire, Arukenimon was seen by Palmon, but the Golemon she created managed to knock her out before she could tell anyone, and then proceeded to attempt to destroy a dam, which would flood a village. At Mimi's behest, the DigiDestined arrived to battle Golemon, but no matter how hard they tried, he just kept going. Davis realised that they would have to destroy him, but Cody and Yolei were horrified by the idea, thinking it made them no better than the Digimon Emperor. Ken showed up, and Stingmon attacked Golemon - then Palmon awoke, and told them the truth about Golemon. When Yolei came to terms with her feelings about Ken, her D-3 began to glow, and HawkmonDigivolved into Aquilamon for the first time. He and Stingmon then destroyed the unliving Golemon. Golemon appears in "Spirit Needle." ''Name: From "golem," a magically-animated creature made of clay from Jewish folklore. Note that Golemon is also his original Japanese name, but Bandai of America changed it to Rockmon for their products. In the first airing of "Spirit Needle," Rockmon was the name which appeared on the Digimon Analyser, but the characters all referred to him as Golemon. In re-runs, this was changed so that Golemon was the name on the analyser. However, Bandai still call him Rockmon.'' Subsequent international airings of the English-language version of "Spirit Needle" retained the error in the analyser.
