Titamon is a Shaman Digimon. The titan of revenge Titamon was born from the hatred of the Digimon defeated by the Olympos XII in battles over the sovereignty of the Digital World. It holds the alias of "One-man squad" ("One-Man Division") and is treated as if it was a legion despite being a single being because it is able to instantly summon a mighty host. Bearing the inexhaustible energy of its hatred within its gigantic body, it runs through the battlefield seeking the heads of the Olympos XII. Its large arms are covered in a multitude of skulls, and the skulls are all data of the power it has stolen from the enemies it has defeated so far. As its gigantic sword "Zanjinto" (斬神刀 Zanjintou?, lit. "Beheading God Sword") is a bone sword carved from SkullGreymon's bones, the hatred filling the sword makes a low growl.[3]
Attacks
- Soul Core Attack (魂魄芯撃 Konpaku Shingeki[4]?, lit. "Soul Core-attack"): Swings the Zanjinto so that it slides through the opponent's armor and body, reaching their DigiCore unhindered and chopping it up. If the opponent takes this technique head on, they'll never be able to recover.
- Phantom Blade (幻刃無痕 Genba Mukon?, lit. "Phantom-blade Unscarred"): Eviscerates the opponent with the Zanjinto, causing them to fall into a hallucination that they are being harrowed even after the blade is pulled out, so that they don't stop suffering until their spirit dies.
- Underworld's Call (呼応冥神 Koou Meijin?, lit. "Pact with Nether-god"): Summons shades based on the skulls on both of its arms, which overrun the enemy's forces as an undead legion.

Digimon ReArise
A Titamon attacks Dianamon and manages to absorb most of its data, which causes it to de-digivolve into Lunamon and gain amnesia. Lunamon is able to get away and eventually returns to Titamon through a dark portal after having searched for its memories with Lopmon. Lunamon asks Titamon if it can help it get to the Moon, as that was the only thing it remembered, though Titamon just states it will finish it off once and for all and take the rest of its data. Lopmon arrives just in time and attacks Titamon, though its attacks do nothing. Lopmon warp digivolves to Antylamon, though its attacks still do nothing. Chihiro Tsukimori, remembering that Titamon had boasted about sucking Lunamon's data into its arm, tells Antylamon to aim its attacks at Titamon's arm and is eventually able to free the stolen data by leaving a crack in Titamon's arm. The data flows back into Lunamon, warp digivolving it to Dianamon, after which it defeats Titamon. The Search for the Moon with the Horned Bunny
