Monzaemon

Monzaemon is a Puppet Digimon named after Chikamatsu Monzaemon. Monzaemon is among the few Digimon whose name include hiragana. In the first release of the Digimon virtual pet, Monzaemon was renamed Teddymon, to remove the cultural reference, but later appearances restored the original name. Monzaemon resembles a giant teddy bear with red eyes, a patch on its belly and a zipper on its back.

Monzaemon likes to play with children, but if it is infected with a virus, it becomes WaruMonzaemon.

Digimon Adventure
A Monzaemon captured all of the DigiDestined except for Mimi and Palmon, and took them to Toy Town, where the toys played with them. Mimi, Palmon, and a group of Numemon tried to defeat him, but were unsuccessful until Palmon digivolved to Togemon and destroyed the Black Gear controlling him.

Another Monzaemon was seen as a customer at Vegiemon and Digitamamon's diner.

Monzaemon is also seen as a toy version on Etemon

Digimon Adventure 02
A Monzaemon was among the Digimon that crashed Matt's concert at Christmas.

In Digimon World Tour, Pt. 1, a Monzaemon was seen in New York.

A Monzaemon was seen during the final battle against MaloMyotismon.

Digimon Frontier
A Monzaemon was seen on a floating island of toys that Takuya, Koji and Tommy landed on. The ShadowToyAgumon Leader turned Monzaemon into WaruMonzaemon, who kidnapped Tommy. After Agunimon and Lobomon purified and reverted the ShadowToyAgumon, they found that Tommy had managed to purify and revert WaruMonzaemon through his innocence alone.

Some Monzaemon were seen at the Fortune Teller Village, the Autumn Leaf Fair, and the Great Trailmon Race.

Digimon Battle Pets
Monzaemon (called Teddymon) was one of the three ultimate forms of Botamon in the Digimon Battle Pet game released by Bandai in 1997. The other two ultimate-level Digimon available were MetalGreymon and Mamemon. Teddymon can evolve from Numemon by allowing the entire screen to fill with Numemon's feces, cleaning it up, treating his poison, and then raising him well.

Digimon World
Monzaemon digivolves from Numemon. Monzaemon can also be raised with the X-Bandage digivolution item. A lifeless Monzaemon costume is found slumped in a Toy Town armchair, requiring a "slippery" Digimon to progress. If the player raises and brings a Numemon to it, it assimilates with the costume and digivolves to Monzaemon. Defeating WaruMonzaemon and saving Toy Town recruits a Monzaemon to File City, although it is just an empty Monzaemon costume hanging on a hook behind Jijimon.

Digimon World 2
Monzaemon digivolves from Frigimon and Mojyamon, and can digivolve to Jijimon.

Digimon Digital Card Battle
Monzaemon belongs to the Rare card group.

Monzaemon digivolves from Leomon, and can digivolve to BantyoLeomon. Monzaemon can also be found at Sheer Valley.
