Mephismon, also known as Mefisumon or メフィスモン in Japanese, is a Fallen Angel Digimon from the Digimon franchise, characterized by its giant ram-like appearance. It originates from the residual thought-data of Apocalymon, a Digimon that sought to eradicate all life, thus sharing the same goal of destroying all living beings. Mephismon is proficient in dark magic, extremely cruel, and possesses high intelligence and tactical skills. Its signature move, "Black Sabbath", is a dark incantation that prays for a festival of death, and those who hear it are doomed to die. Its special move, "Death Cloud", generates a dark cloud that corrodes everything. The design of Mephismon draws inspiration from Baphomet, a demon in Christian lore, and Abaddon, the angel of destruction from the Book of Revelation. Mephismon often appears as an antagonist in various Digimon media, such as posing as the president of V Pets Laboratories in "Digimon Tamers: Battle of Adventurers" to spread viruses, or capturing and sacrificing Digimon to Millenniumon in "Digimon Adventure". In its X-Antibody form, Mephismon transforms into a ewe with a ladylike appearance and becomes more adept at high-level dark magic, finding pleasure in killing.
