Kudamon (Data Squad)

Kudamon is a Rookie Level Exalted Beast Digimon. His name comes from the mythical Kudagitsune, a Pipe Fox spirit in Japanese.

Kudamon is a calm and collected sort who carries out precise assessments of things and can progress through battle with superiority and smugness. It is said that he accumulates holy power in his left earring every day, intending to use the energy to digivolve eventually.

Appearance
Though being based on a fox, Kudamon generally resembles a white ferret or weasel. He has small forelimbs, golden markings, and a tail with a bell at the end of it. His collar was a Power Ring.

Description
This Kudamon, different from the original design in the V-Pet, is the partner of Rentarou Satsuma. He serves as Satsuma's advisor in matters relating the Digimon, and assists in the running of DATS. In times of danger Kudamon can Digivolve into Reppamon and/or Qilinmon.

It was later revealed that Kudamon is actually the Royal Knight Sleipmon, sent by Yggdrasil to keep an eye on the humans while undercover. However, as time passed, Kudamon grew fond of the humans and therefore could not obey Yggdrasil's orders to exterminate them. He exposed his identity to Gallantmon and fought him to protect the DATS crew, their battle ending in a draw and leaving their fates unknown when they disappeared in Sleipmon's attack. In episode 46, at the end, Gallantmon and Sleipmon are seen falling into a what seems like a bottomless trench. In episode 47, Gallantmon returns holding an unconscious Kudamon, explaining that Sleipmon told him why he sided with the humans and set him free. Kudamon reunites with Satsuma in episode 48, but the meeting is short as he decides to return to the Digital World with the other Digimon.

Attacks
 * Crystal Aura: Dazzles the eye with the great radiance emitted from his earring.
 * Shining Blast: Releases a holy beam when the pattern on his back glows.

Other forms
The name "Kudamon" refers only to the Rookie form of this Digimon. Throughout the series, Kudamon gains the ability to Digivolve into a number of more powerful forms, each with a different name and special attack. However, the Rookie level is his preferred form and the one he spends most of his time in.
