Minotaurumon

Minotaurumon is a champion/ultimate level Digimon species indigenous to File Island. It is the champion form of Gotsumon.

A Minotaurumon was the first enemy that the Chosen fought when in the Digital World. It was infected by a black gear causing it to be under control of an evil digimon called Devimon.

Season 1
The first Minotaurumon in the series was encountered only moments after the Chosen arrived in the Digital World. He attacked them immediately, trying to kill them all. It fought all the rookie digimon partners. He easily dispatched them all along with trapping the Chosen a crumbling structure. A flashback reveals the reason for the Minotaurumon's aggressiveness. Weeks before the Chosen arrived in the Digital World, Minotaurumon was a Gotsumon living a village nearby the ruins. When a trio of Garurumon attacked the village, he digivolved into his current Minotaurumon form. He easily dispatched the Garurumon and took up the mantle of protecting his village. Shortly after that, Minotaurumon was confronted by Ogremon. Ogremon wanted the Minotaurumon to join forces with him. Since allying himself would put him at odds against his village, Minotaurumon turned his offer down. Ogremon didn't take no for an answer. He infected Minotaurumon with a black gear. The gear put Minotaurumon under the control of Ogremon's own master, Devimon. In the present, Minotaurumon attacked the Chosen again. This time Minotaurumon had a battle of his hands. John Sayers's partner digimon Veemon digivolved into his champion form of Veedramon. The fought each other until Veedramon expelled the black gear. Minotaurumon returned to his old self. Once the Chosen left, Minotaurumon returned to the role of village protector.
