Beastmon is an Animal Digimon whose Japanese name and design are derived from the mythological Bastet, and whose English name is derived from "beast". It loves to be showy and has a sly personality, and its specialty is using its charmingly sparkling eyes and the jewels worn all over its body to bewitch the opponent, allowing it to pull their strings as it desires. Generally, if one becomes the victim of Beastmon's glamour, they are completely eviscerated. Although it excels in nimbleness with its flexible movements, it is also powerful despite its appearance, and the claws on its hands are sharp enough to cut even a rock to pieces. It is said to be at loggerheads with Nefertimon, who is an avatar of light.
