Name Origins
English Name: Labramon
Origin: The Labrador is a type of dog.
Japanese Name: Labramon
Origin: Same as the English name origin.

Card Explanations Needed: none

My Card Comments: Although Labramon is rather weak when it comes to Attack power, it's got a very high Defense power and a Special Effect that weakens one of the opponent's Digimon. Needless to say, Labramon would make a good defensive card if your hand isn't too good and you need your Data Points protected.

Hints, Tips, & Strategies: None yet.

Additional Name/Attack Info: It's likely 'retrieverg' was a typo and the attack is meant to be 'retriever' since Labradors were used by hunters to retrieve, or find, whatever was just hunted.

LABRAMON

Group: Animal – Level: Rookie – Type: Vaccine – Attack Techniques: Cure Liquor, Retrieving

Labramon is the Rookie form of Seasarmon. Designed as the first V-Pet by Minami Uehara’s father, Labramon was created to replace Minami’s dead dog, Mei, and was sculpted in the dog’s image, but Minami rejected the V-Pet.

When Minami fled VP Labs with the original V-Pet, she was pursued by wild Digimon, and Seasarmon emerged from the V-Pet to try and save her – in vain, as she was captured and taken back to VP Labs. Takato, Kai and Guilmon followed, but in the ensuing confrontation, it was revealed that the president of the company, Ryuuji Tamashiro, was, in actuality, the evil Digimon Mephistomon, and had been searching for the vaccination program Minami’s father had created for the V-Pets, which could stop his plan to use them to plunge Earth’s computer systems into chaos – a program that Minami’s father inadvertently revealed was within Seasarmon. Mephistomon attacked, De-Digivolving Seasarmon into Labramon, and seizing him. He then transported all the Tamers into an underwater world he had crafted in the image of mankind’s destruction, where he battled the Digimon in their Champion forms. At Growlmon’s urgings, Labramon broke free from Mephistomon’s grip as the Champions brought a cruise ship crashing down on him. Labramon shielded Minami from the following blast, fatally wounding himself, but she tried to say she didn't appreciate what he'd done. Labramon, having been designed to replace Mei, effectively WAS Mei, and told Minami that Mei's death wasn't her fault. Minami broke down, pleading with Labramon not to die, and by finally accepting him, and calling him Mei, the name always intended for him, Minami enabled the vaccination program within him to activate, repairing the damage done to Earth’s electronics network by the rampaging V-Pets, as he deleted in her arms.

Labramon appears in “The Adventurers’ Battle,” the first Digimon Tamers movie (fifth movie overall), which has not been released in the west.

Name: From “Labrador,” a breed of dog.
