Arukenimon

Encyclopedia : A : AR : ARU : Arukenimon

Arukenimon, called Archemon in the Japanese version, is one of the main villains in the Digimon Adventure 02 series. She is a Digimon in the form of a spider-woman with cow-like horns sticking out from under her matted grey hair and wearing a mask much like most villains from the past. Queen of the Dokugumon, her quick tempered personality made her feared by most digimon.

Arukenimon was based on Arachne, the woman from Greek mythology who was turned into a spider by Athena as punishment for boasting of being a better weaver.

Digivolution

Special evolution

DNA Digivolution (Mega) - Arukenimon + Mummymon = Daemon

Abilities

Her special ability is to transform into the form of a beautiful woman so she can draw close to her victims. She often says she prefers her true form to the disguise. Her favorite phrase about this is, "I feel pretty again!" In her human-form, she can use her hair-strands in her 'Spirit Needle' spell on Control Spires to create artificial digimon that (usually) obey her command.

Attacks

Spirit Needle (Human form only): Takes a strand of her hair and uses it to turn control spires into unliving Digimon.
Acid Mist: Vomits an acidic spray from her mouth.
Spider Thread: Fires a pre-eminently sharp wire that can entrap or slice an enemy.

Appearances

[Spoiler warningSpoiler warning]: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Digimon 02

Arukenimon took over where Ken stopped after the destruction of Kimeramon. When first encountered, she appeared in her disguise but soon revealed her true form. When fighting the DigiDestined, she used her Spirit Needle to turn Control Spires into Digimon like Thundermon, presumably Snimon (whom Stingmon destroyed), Golemon, Minotarumon, Okuwamon, Blossomon, a herd of Mammothmon, and Knightmon. In one event in the Giga House, she used a magic flute to control Insectoid Digimon including a bunch of Flymon, Snimon, Roachmon, Kunemon, a Dokugumon, and even Digmon and Stingmon until the flute's magic was negated. She worked with partner Mummymon. The relationship was not particularly romantic, Arukenimon was arrogant and rejected any advances by Mummymon, who stoically consoled himself with developing new plots. Her creation of BlackWarGreymon wouldn't obey her due to the complexities of his creation. Arukenimon was killed in the finale by MaloMyotismon, who used her wish to be "as far from him as possible" as a excuse to test his newfound power on her.
