Digimon Dictionary

English

An Ultimate-leveled Digimon in the shape of the Dog who is one of the "Deva Digimon". A subordinate of the Four Holy Beasts member Baihumon, it prefers to look after Makuramon and Sinduramon, the other two subordinates (yet, the pair seem to feel less obligated on the matter).

It has a strong sense of justice, and will feel ashamed if everything is not clearly black and white. When it and its comrades are in battle, it acts as a supreme ruler and chief judge, transforming into the Bǎo Chuí hammer in order to find their enemies guilty.

Its special attack is "Śwabhojana", which slams its Bǎo Chuí into the ground, attacking the foe with a shockwave generated by the ensuing earthquake. (Wildermon)

Japanese

「デーヴァ（十二神）デジモン」の１体で、狗に似た姿の完全体デジモン。四聖獣デジモンであるバイフーモンの配下で、同じ配下のマクラモンとシンドゥーラモンを弟のように思い面倒を見ている（二人は、それほど恩義に感じてはいない様子）。正義感が強く、何事も白黒ハッキリさせないと気が済まない。仲間の争いごとの際は、議長、裁判長を務める事があり、自らを巨大な鎚である宝鎚（パオツェイ）に変化させ、有罪無罪の判決を下す。必殺技は宝鎚で地面を打つことによって衝撃波を伴う大地震を起こす『シュヴァボージャナ』。

Dictionary

Digimon Life

English

One of the Deva, it is a Perfect Digimon with a form resembling the "Dog". As a follower of the Four Holy Beasts Digimon Baihumon, it looks after its fellow followers Makuramon and Sinduramon as if they were its younger brothers (as for those two, it appears they do not feel the same degree of obligation). Its sense of justice is strong, and it is unsatisfied when it can't make something clear in black-and-white. When all of its comrades are quarreling, it will sometimes serve as a moderator or presiding judge, changing into the Bǎo Chuí, which is itself as a gigantic hammer, and passing judgment over guilt and innocence. Its Special Move is generating a massive earthquake accompanied by a shock wave by striking the ground with the Bǎo Chuí (Śwabhojana). (KrytenKoro)

^Note-1"The religious student who sleeps in the day, and is, though unconsciously, defiled; and they who, though mature, are instructed in sacred literature by their children, receive punishment in the hell called Śwabhojana (where they feed upon dogs)." (Internet Sacred Text Archive, retrieved 08/31/07; Vishnu Purana, Ch. VI)

^Note-2 Caturamon never announced its attacks in Digimon Tamers. The dub team gave Caturamon an attack called 'Howl of the Heavens" in episode 30, but this attack wasn't called anything in the original. Furthermore, this attack doesn't match the descriptions of any of Caturamon's attacks.
