Ignitemon is a Reptile Man Digimon. It lives its daily life at its own pace. It often plays with its Monitamon friends, and during their free time, they will watch a comedy Digitalk show on Monitamon's screen and burst into laughter. However, it is incredibly lazy when it comes to serious matters. If a battle breaks out nearby, it will waste no time in escaping and finding a spot to hide. Despite its laziness, the weapons it wields called display great strength. The "Galápagos (Navy)" on its right hand and the "Galápagos (Army)" on its left hand can be thrown at opponents to slice them apart. Although Ignitemon prefers to avoid battle, it will cut down anyone who tries to interrupt it while it is having fun (especially while it is watching television).^[2]

Attacks

• Final Traveler: Detonates the McField-brand "Fernandina" hanging from its chest, blasting away both the enemy and itself without leaving a trace. However, it does not wish for its enjoyment of life to end there, so it prefers not to get caught up in battle.
• Crushing Sound Waves (Galápagos Field): Concentrates energy on the "Galápagos (Navy)" on its right hand and the "Galápagos (Army)" on its left and unleashes a slashing wave.
• Timoniniser: Fires the bullets embedded in the "Gunsword" on its head, each containing different side-effects; it can unleash a great variety of effects depending on the combination of bullets used.

Digimon Seekers ~Wall Slum's Nightmare~

An Ignitemon was one of the Digimon Soundbirdmon and its tamer become friends with during their time in the Digital World. After seeing the corpses of the discarded Digimon that humans had grown bored of, she decided that humans were stupid and that she too was a human — and thus was stupid. These thoughts conflicted with her memories of making friends with Digimon, causing her to have a mental breakdown — which caused her VR headset to malfunction, putting her into DMIA.
