Kimeramon is a Composition Digimon whose name and design are derived from the mythological Chímairaand the concept of "chimeras" in genetics. Every part that composes its whole was put together by synthesizing various Digimon— Kabuterimon for its head, MetalGreymon (Virus) for its eyes and hair, Greymon for its body, Angemon and Airdramon for its four wings, Devimon, Kuwagamon, and SkullGreymon for its four arms, Garurumon for its legs, and Monochromon for its tail. How this kind of synthesis was performed is shrouded in mystery. In contrast to Machinedramon, who was synthesized from the metal parts of several varieties of Digimon, it was combined from organic parts, and whether it is Machinedramon's prototype, or it was built to use against Machinedramon, is still uncertain. However, the one thing that is understood is that, because of Kimeramon's terrifying combat instinct, it is nothing but a powerful force for destruction.
Digimon Adventure 02[]
Kimeramon is created by the Digimon Emperor to be his ideal Digimon partner to help him take over the Digital World, and he is seen working on it over a period of time. When Kimeramon is finally created, it proves more than a match for all of the DigiDestined's Digimon. However, because of the dark powers of Devimon, Kimeramon is beyond Ken's control and runs amok while destroying everything in its path. Worried for Ken,Wormmon takes Davis Motomiya to the power source of the base, the Digi-Egg of Miracles. Using it, Veemon becomes Magnamon. Although Magnamon puts up more of a fight, Kimeramon eventually overpowers him, and he is only able to destroy Kimeramon using the energy sacrificed by Wormmon. After Kimeramon dies, the energy and data of the Digimon that Ken copied onto Kimeramon left his body as flying balls of energy. It is interesting to note that, unlike many of Ken's other servants, Kimeramon is not shackled with a Dark Ring or Dark Spiral (presumably because the other Ultimate digimon in Ken's service could be released from his control); this oversight is likely another contributing factor to Kimeramon's rebellion.
Role in Ultima[]
In Ultima, Kimeramon are mass-produced Heavy Assault Weapon units in the D-Minion Army. They can digivolve from the successful union between FallenAngemon, SkullGreymon, Monochromon, Kuwagamon, Devimon, Airdramon, Kabuterimon, BlackGarurumon, Cyclonemon, and MetalGreymon (Virus). One Kimeramon was strong enough to DNA-Digivolve with a Machinedramon unit into becoming the super-powerful Millenniummon.
