Cherrymon is a Vegetation Digimon. Woodmon digivolved further, and as Cherrymon, it is a Digimon that has acquired extremely elevated intelligence and power. Called the "Lord of the Deep Forest", it is a terrifying Digimon who tempts Digimon who have gone astray in the dark deep forest to go further and deeper into the woods, so that they will never break out of that forest. The fog it generates from its body displays illusions, tempting the opponent into the forest depths, where it uses its branches like tentacles and ivy to capture the opponent for its own nutrition. If you notice a Woodmon that has lived a long life, it is probably wise to fell it before it digivolves to Cherrymon.[5]
Attacks

- Vine Attack (つた攻撃 Tsuta Kougeki?): Uses the vines growing from its body to attack an opponent.

Cherrymon is an elderly Digimon that resembles a cherry tree with six arms. It has vines on its head and carries a tree stump as a cane.
