Calumon (Tamers)

Calumon, sometimes called Culumon in Japanese, is somewhat of the mascot of Digimon season 3 (Digimon Tamers). Its immature antics and overexpressed emotions leave little doubt that its role is not of a fighter character. Calumon is the only Digimon on the good side that had no tamer, it also cannot Digivolve or be 'Digi-Modified'. However, whilst in the material world, Calumon is the necessary component of Digivolution.

Digivolution

 * This Digimon cannot Digivolve.

Attacks
Ruby Light: Acts as a catalyst in the digivolution process, allows other Digimon to Digivolve whilst in the material world.

Digimon Tamers
In the series Digimon Tamers, the Digimon Sovereigns reveal that Calumon originated as the element of Digivolution- realized version of "Digi Entelekheia", but in order to hide the power from the evil D-Reaper, they made the power into the form of a Digimon. In the end of the series, the Sovereigns restore the power to the Digital World and allow Calumon to live its life as a Digimon.

Some Digimon fans think its habit of saying culu was removed in order to avoid more association with Pokémon (who says their names frequently) something which both sets of fans sometimes prefer. Calumon is voiced by Brianne Siddall(English) & Tomoko Kaneda (Japan).

Battle of Adventurers / Runaway Locomon
Calumon is in Digimon's fifth and sixth movies originally in Japanese, which were dubbed into english and aired by the Disney corporation recently. These movies, Battle of Adventurers and Runaway Locomon give Calumon a very small part to play, unlike the series where it is usually the centre of attention.

The Merchandise
The products based on Calumon are highly numerous and seem to be in high demand. There are plush toys and posters, but there is a Japanese pocket electronic Calumon game, where you look after your own pet Calumon, similar to a Tamagotchi.

Calumon has also released two singles, Asobo Culuculu and Culu Culu Culumon!. Each of these is a commercial song in Japan, sung by Tomoko Kaneda. There is a third Calumon song, which was never commercial but is highly prized amongst the people that have it, which is I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas.
