Renamon is an Animal Digimon. It has the appearance of a golden fox. Renamon is a Digimon whose relationship with humans is expressed bluntly, so depending on how it was raised during its time as an In-Training, it is said that it can digivolve to a Renamon of particularly high intelligence. As it is always calm, cool, and collected, it is practiced enough that it doesn't lose that composure in any situation. Its slender, tall appearance excels when compared with other Rookies, and rather than Power Battling, it makes sport of the enemy with various arts that use its speed.[5]

Design
Renamon is a golden, bipedal fox (Vulpes vulpes) with fur sticking out from its shoulders and a furry chest. Its only form of clothing are the purple sleeves it wears, which has a yin-yang symbol on each, and has three fingers and claws on each hand. Swirling symbols can also be seen on its knees, which are yellow, like most of its body. It also has long, white, three-toed legs and a long, white-tipped tail.
