Ghoulmon is a Demon Lord Digimon. Like Daemon, it was originally a high-ranking Angel Digimon, but it fell to the Dark Area and is now one of the Demon Lord Digimon. Even though it is a Demon Lord Digimon, it is different from other Fallen Angel and Devil Digimon in that it does not run the whole gamut of wickedness, but instead does its utmost to carefully maintain a position of neutrality; despite this, it is easily manipulated by the cunning Barbamon.[4] However, it is a terrifying Digimon, and it is told that at the time of the approaching final battle, that whitened appearance will change to jet-black darkness, and it will transform into a god of destruction.[5]

Digimon Rikollection[]

When Mayu Nozomi was a child, he owned a Xros Loader. When he stopped playing with it, the Digimon inside at the time was a Ghoulmon. Most of Mayu's Digimon merch collection came to life on August 1, 2024, with the many countless now real life Digimon causing havoc in the City. One of them that came to life was Ghoulmon, though instead of causing havoc, it decided to stay inside the v-pet. Regardless, it still wound up somewhere in the City, seemingly dragged there by another Digimon. With Mayu a 27 year old adult, he refused to play with his Digimon toys — including this v-pet — and when Mayu arrived to where it was, it angrily came out of the v-pet and confronted him over why he refused to play with it. It asked him if he didn't need Digimon any more just because he was an adult, with many other Digimon joining in to confront him over this. Mayu ends up realizing they were all right — he was still allowed to like Digimon even though he was an adult and had been forcing himself to pretend he didn't like the franchise any more.
