Personality

If one were to stand for long enough around Latroditmon without running away, they might be surprised to find she's actually rather pleasant and, to be frank, a bit of an airhead. She has a polite demeanour and displays a cutesy 'princessy' attitude, although she's also rather vain and takes great pride in her appearance.

It's all an act, of course. Latroditmon is incredibly self-centred and uses her 'charms', mental prowess and powerful hypnotic abilities to toy with those around her, be they ally or enemy. She can use her monstrous body to great effect and is a highly skilled fighter, but she is always aware of the unpredictability of battle, and the possibility of failure. As such she picks her battles wisely and treats every confrontation with the utmost seriousness.

Attacks

  • Spinner Claw - Latroditmon releases energy-draining silk from the claws at the ends of her arachnid arms, either as a web-like spray or a heavy, explosive blob.
  • Serpent's Tail - Latroditmon quickly swings her tail forward with great force, swiping her opponent with the barbed appendage at the end. The barbs are capable of piercing most known materials and deliver a venom that can incapacitate the largest of Digimon within minutes if not seconds.
  • Siren Gaze - The five eyes on Latroditmon's lower portion shimmer in a hypnotic display, mesmerising her opponents. In some cases she can brainwash them or plant images in their eyes that warp their perception of the battle.

Trivia

Latroditmon's origins are unknown; she first appread from deep beneath the sea and began to cause havoc. Her chimerical body allows her many different abilities, such as enhanced strength, agility and an immunity to external poisons. Her battle style revolves around deception and always keeping her opponent guessing.

Latroditmon was an entry in the Digimon Inferno Design-a-Villain contest; the original character and design is owned by JediCody2.
