The rest of our reviews will be more or less in order of building up to my personal favorites, which is not to say Fumamon here is bad or anything; a ninja assassin that's also a humanoid dinosaur is pretty entertaining, it's just that the design is basically your generic stealth-armored anime ninja warrior but with dino feet and a blade-tipped tail. It can evolve from the Gammamon line, but wasn't necessarily created for it; in its debut digivice, Fumamon can evolve from a Sealsdramon that evolves, not from the usual Commandramon, but from a Koemon, which still makes as much sense as anything else Koemon can do.

RATING:

So this one is another Perfect stage, but I include it with Fumamon because the two are obviously rival counterparts, with Zanmetsumon being an evil samurai to Fumamon's antihero ninja. Besides being a virus type, it has a freakish anatomy with a four-limbed humanoid torso sprouting from the top of an otherwise eyeless, hairy four-legged beast with a giant, gnashing set of teeth! Digimon really loves its crotch-mouth centaur demons, doesn't it? I'm surprised there's no explicit Nuckelavee Digimon at this point.

The head on Zanmetsumon's humanoid portion is kind of dog-like, though without any ears you can just as easily call it shark-like or lizard-like. Besides wielding a huge, cursed looking sword in every hand, the chompy beast part of the thing has a fifth sword on the end of its tail, which is great.

You could also argue this Digimon as a more logical Perfect stage for Grand Dracmon!
