Dimo is one of the three "wild" Jägermonsters who help Agatha and friends in all manner of combat situations (combat, after all, being what Jägermonsters are good for). He is the one with a perpetual wide, sharp-toothed grin, greenish eyes with no obvious pupils, and a greenish complexion. Oh- and one arm. Of the three, he comes up with most of the plans and tactics, making him something of an unofficial leader of the Da Boyz, at least when Jenka is absent. He's also known for his keen sense of smell - Dimo was the first to recognize that Agatha was a Heterodyne, and has been known to use his sense of smell to resist the effects of hallucinatory gas. Because of his appearance, it's easy to underestimate him.
While negotiating Sturmhalten's sewers to find and rescue his mistress, Dimo fell foul of some strange glowy monsters, one of which stung him in the left hand. Oggie cut that arm off near the shoulder for him[1], and since the severed limb melted into green goo shortly afterward, it seems he was just in time. No word yet on when he'll be repaired, though now that they have a Heterodyne they regard it as just a matter of time.
In battle, Dimo tends to use his bare claws or his throwing knives, as opposed to Ognian (who uses his triple-poleaxe) and Maxim (who uses a rapier). This tends to be rather dangerous (see arm-removal above), and Dimo has a tendency to be wounded in close-combat. He also has a tendency to "rhinohide" his injuries, an attitude which extends to his missing arm.
Dimo, like Jenka, seems to be slightly less delusional and more intelligent than other Jägers - or at least more aware of his companions' relative ineptitude, especially in matters of romance. However, he still thinks he is irresistible to de vimmin.
