Keitai Denjuu Telefang (Keitai Denjuu Terefangu), often shortened to just "Telefang", is a series of video games developed by Smilesoft. There are two games in this series, namely Keitai Denjuu Telefang 1 and Keitai Denjuu Telefang 2, or more often shortened as Telefang 1 and Telefang 2. Both games have two versions of the game each, Power and Speed.

The monsters found in both games are called Denjuu, whose names are mostly derived from plant names. They are found in the Denjuu world, apart from the Human World.

Breakdown of name

Keitai (携帯) means mobile in Japanese, to represent the D-Shot, an advanced mobile phone used in the Denjuu world.

Denjuu (電獣), the monsters found in the game, is a combination of Den (電) and juu (獣). Den means electric, and juu means monster in Japanese, which is why the bootlegged version of Telefang 1 referred to them as "electric monsters".

Telefang (テレファング) is a romanized Katakana contraction meaning "Telephone Fangs", with reference to the D-Shot telephone, and fangs being a reference to the Denjuu.
