Read more about Lopmon (Tamers) at: Wikipedia Official Site: foxkids Lopmon is a Rookie Level Animal Digimon, and the "twin sibling" of Terriermon, despite having different colors and more horns. Lopmon resembles a rabbit, while Lopmon's "twin sibling" Terriermon is considered a lop-eared dog. While Terriermon is an over-confident sort and tends to make sarcastic remarks, Lopmon is shy and polite. In the original Japanese version, Lopmon and all its evolutions are male . The reason it was written as female in the American dub was that it was difficult for the translators to discern Lopmon's intended gender due to its dialect. In the Japanese version of Digimon Tamers, Antylamon (and its Rookie form, Lopmon) speaks with an antiquated dialect which uses gender-neutral pronouns, leaving viewers unable to discern if it was male or female (the American dubbers having leaning towards the latter as a result of its female voice actress, however many of the male humans and Digimon are voiced by females in the Japanese version) until a much later Japanese episode, when its partner, Suzie, referred to it as male and tried to encourage it to use the more modern personal male pronoun, "boku". Lopmon is the Digimon partner of Suzie, Henry's little sister. However, Lopmon was also Antylamon of the Devas, and guardian of the South Gate to Zhuqiaomon's palace. When Suzie first meets Antylamon she is treated like a small annoyance, but after spending some time together, they develop a special bond. When Antylamon's fellow deva, Makuramon, appears and tried to harm Suzie, Antylamon drives him away. As punishment, Zhuqiaomon reverts Antylamon to Lopmon for protecting a human, and Lopmon became a partner to Suzie.
