Leopardmon, the "Lion Knight of the Round" is a Holy Knight Digimon whose names and design are derived from both the leopard (Panthera pardus) and "Duft" (Deu: Fragrance). It is acknowledged even by the other Royal Knights as their foremost strategist. It has the invaluable ability to lead the Royal Knights, who each possess a dogma that they believe in. Its own motto is "Justice equals power". When it goes into personal combat, it changes into "Leopard Mode" and races across the battlefield. It wields the "Sword of Annihilation" (消滅の剣 Shoumetsu no Tsurugi) and "Sword of Destruction" (破壊の剣 Hakai no Tsurugi) beam swords.
