Dokunemon is a Larva Digimon. Dokunemon's appearance is very similar to Kunemon. Like Kunemon, it is being studied in order to solve the mystery of Insect Digimon, but unlike Kunemon, it has a timid personality, and because it usually lives hidden in forests, it is difficult to find, and so research has not progressed. In addition, it carries a very potent toxin, and it is dangerous to even touch it.[3]
