Reppamon, also known as Kamaitachi, is a Holy Beast Digimon from the Digimon franchise. Its name is derived from the Japanese word "reppa," meaning "to tear apart." Reppamon's design is inspired by the Japanese mythological creature, the kamaitachi, a weasel-like monster. Its most distinctive feature is its tail, which has transformed into a sharp blade. This bladed tail possesses a will of its own, capable of defending against surprise attacks from behind, although it sometimes clashes with Reppamon's main body. Reppamon favors fighting in forests, where it can skillfully navigate trees using its claws and tail. Its special attacks include the rolling "Kurukuru Rekkūzan" and the claw-based "Jūga Rengeki." Additionally, Reppamon can unleash invisible wind blades called "Shinkū Kamaitachi" by swinging its tail. In various Digimon games, Reppamon typically evolves from Kudamon and can evolve into Digimon like Tyilinmon.
