Chapmon



Chapmon (チャップモン)
A Lesser Digimon that only lives in clear, beautiful waters. For this reason, its form can only be seen in limited areas within the Digital World. It spends most of the day on the water's surface, and when it sleeps, it sleeps with only its face poking out of the surface. It has the sensitivity to detect the approach of opponents just from tiny movements of the water's surface, and will escape to a safe spot before it is found. Even when it is found, it spits its "Foam Shower" from its mouth to confuse the opponent with the bubbles, then flees.

Etymology
Chap: From chap chap (チャップチャップ), alternatively (チャプチャプ), onomatopoeia describing splashing in puddles. Also a reference to the lyrics from the Japanese children's song Amefuri (あめふり) (...Pitch Pitch, Chap Chap...).
