Mervamon is a Shaman Digimon. One of the "Olympos XII", it has the appearance of a woman. It is the matured form of Minervamon that has amassed experience and achievements over time, and its personality has calmed down considerably to become more mature as compared to its time as Minervamon. It became Mervamon to pursue elegance and sensuality, and as its behavior, speech, and conduct are wholly overflowing with elegance, it brings about the sensuality in its surroundings. It seeks sensuality in battle, and displays its refined, elegant dance to mesmerize observers. As such, there appear to be a great number of Digimon that became fans of Mervamon from being a witness. It wields the "Olympia Kai" (オリンピア改 Orinpia Kai?, lit. "Olympia Revision") greatsword in its right arm, and the "Medullia" serpent on its left.[5]

Design
Mervamon is a feminine Digimon with fair skin, a large chest, yellow reptilian eyes, pointy ears, fangs, and long, near ankle-length green hair which is braided into two tails. Mervamon's hair also has a fringe that covers most of the right half of its face, and a single short braid on the left with a red hair ornament. It wears purple lipstick as makeup, a gray snake-like helmet with two red eye-like design on it, and a white and a black snake forming a heart emblazoned on the top of the helmet. The helmet also has two ear-like protrusions on its back, and each has a red sash tied on it. Mervamon also wears a black chin and neck mask with three teeth-like ornament on each side of the face, matching the top teeth of the helmet. It also wears a black bra with belt-like front hooks and gray cups with black borders and gray spikes on the borders, and a metallic O-ring near the collarbone. Mervamon also wears an arm warmer with many belt-like ornaments on its right arm, and gray shoulder pads that resemble the ear-like ornaments on its helmet. The shoulder pads also have red borders. Mervamon also wears black spandex under the Medullia on its left arm. Mervamon also wears black short shorts which have the front and back halves connected by black criss-cross laces on the sides. It also wears a red sash around the waist; the ends wrapped around a metallic O-ring on the left hip. It also black leggings with teeth-like ornaments in the borders, and black high-heel boots with five white claw-like ornaments on them. Mervamon's Medullia is a light gray puppet-like snake with a purple tongue, multiple teeth on its mouth, two green tusks under its jaw, red eye-like ornaments, a figure of a white and a black snake forming a heart on its forehead, armor-like layers on its body, and a hexagonal shoulder pad-like plate on its end, the plate having red borders and a large metallic spike on it. Mervamon's Olympia Kai is a sword with a gray hilt, a red coat of arms on its sword, with a black and a white snake forming a zigzap, with each snake's head near the other's tail, as if the two snakes were about to eat each other, and a red pentagonal prism under its hilt, and a figure of a white and a black snake forming a heart. Mervamon is considered a beautiful warrior.[4][6]
