Makuramon is an Animal Digimon. It is the "Monkey" Deva, and serves the Digimon Sovereign Baihumon. As a follower of Baihumon, it has a curious disposition of not speaking and not showing its emotions on its face. However, contrasted with its facial expressions, its body movements are overflowing and its emotions are expressed through its bodily poses. Those suggest that it is often in a more or less good mood, but that its overflowing curiosity doesn't last very long. It makes a hobby out of collecting and locking up the things that catch its eye in its "Primal Orb" (宝玉 Bǎo Yù?, lit. "Treasure Ball"), and in battle, it is a pacifist that locks up the opponent to settle its issues.[1]
