Craniummon

クレニアムモン

Appearance:
Craniamon is based on the mythological Dullahan. He appears fully in devilish-looking armor colored light purple and blue. He has four spikes: two purple ones are on his shoulders, and the other two blue spikes are on his helmet, which also has a purple plume at the end. His shoulder pads, which contain the purple spikes, are blue; the middle is black with a red circle, and a yellow skull is located in the center.
His weapons of choice are the Duo Solar Spear (Claíomh Solais) and the Omni Shield (Avalon).
Description:
Craniamon is the Royal Knight closest to King Drasil, and he carries out his orders without question. It is revealed that long before the events of the series, he was defeated in battle by Suguru Daimon and BanchoLeomon, prior to their encounter with Yggdrasil.
Shortly after Belphemon is destroyed, Craniamon listens to Yggdrasil's arguments for humanity's destruction and agrees with his master's decision. He was the first Royal Knight to face the members of DATS in battle, and he overpowers them until Marcus activates Burst Digivolution, digivolving ShineGreymon into ShineGreymon Burst Mode. The tide of the battle turns, but it is halted by the arrival of Gallantmon and the other Royal Knights, who defeat the DATS in one attack. Yggdrasil then arrives and commands the Royal Knights to destroy DATS, but they are interrupted by Kentaurosmon, who escapes to the Human World with the DATS.
Craniamon battles the DATS members again, this time with the impenetrable Omni-Shield given to him by Yggdrasil. However, the power of all of the DATS' Burst Modes is able to shatter the shield, convincing Craniamon that Yggdrasil's power is not absolute. Craniamon surrenders and allows the DATS to face Yggdrasil. He later travels to Mt. Fuji and replaces BanchoLeomon in holding the Digital and human worlds apart.
He struggled with this task until Yggdrasil's arrival at Mt. Fuji, when he is joined by the other Knights, and they learn of Yggdrasil's real plan. The other Royal Knights then join Craniamon in holding the two worlds apart, since he is weakening against Yggdrasil's attacks, while the DATS fend off Yggdrasil. After Yggdrasil is defeated, the Royal Knights head back to the Digital World.
