Yanmamon (ヤンマモン) is an Insectoid Digimon appearing in the Digimon franchise. Based on a giant dragonfly, its body is covered in a tough carapace as hard as Greymon's head, and it is extremely light, allowing for high-speed flight. Yanmamon is carnivorous and aggressive, often flying around the Network, attacking enemies with its sharp fangs. Its attacks include 'Thunder Ray,' a strafing attack with an electrified laser, and 'Bug Swarm,' where it generates an intense electromagnetic wave. Yanmamon appears in various Digimon media, including the anime *Digimon Savers*, where it is seen carrying Gottsumon, and various video games like the *Digimon World* and *Digimon Story* series, often as a recruitable enemy or an evolvable Digimon. It is a Champion-level Digimon and can evolve into forms such as Pumpmon. While its specific attributes and abilities may vary across different media, its dragonfly-like design and high-speed flight remain consistent. A variant known as Sand Yanmamon also appears, notably in *Digimon Adventure*, though it's often depicted with the incorrect color scheme.
