[edit] Description

Calumon hiding in the bushes

Calumon's immature antics and overexpressed emotions leave little doubt about the fact that its role is not of a fighter. In Digimon Tamers, Calumon is the only Digimon on the protagonist's side who had no tamer.

[edit] Digivolution

Calumon is a unique digimon who does not Digivolve, and cannot be Digi-Modified.

[edit] Attacks

Calumon does not fight, and has no attacks. However, Calumon has the special ability to act as a catalyst in the Digivolution process, allowing other Digimon to Digivolve whilst in the material world.

[edit] Digimon Tamers

Intro screen of Digimon Tamers

In the series Digimon Tamers, the Digimon Sovereigns reveal that Calumon originated as the element of Digivolution - the realized version of "Digi Entelekheia". In order to hide this power from the evil D-Reaper, they turned the power into the form of a Digimon. In the end of the series, the Sovereigns restore this power to the Digital World, but allow Calumon to continue to live as an ordinary Digimon.

In the Japanese version, Calumon had a habit of saying "culu". This was removed from the English Version, and some fans believe this is was to avoid any associations with Pokemon (who typically say their names frequently).

Calumon is voiced by Brianne Siddall (English) & Tomoko Kaneda (Japan).

[edit] Battle of Adventurers / Runaway Locomon

Calumon appears is in Digimon's fifth and sixth digimon movies Battle of Adventurers and Runaway Locomon, but does not play a major role in either of them.

[edit] Digimon World DS

Calumon is a helper in the DigiFarms of the game. Calumon can be added to the player's party, but it is unable to digivolve. Calumon has very high stats for a In-training, and matching two Calumon together allows the player to obtain Gallantmon Crimson Mode.

[edit] Merchandise

There are numerous products based on Calumon. These include plush toys, posters, even a Tamagotchi-like game where players need to look after their own pet Calumon.

Calumon also has two singles, Asobo Culuculu and Culu Culu Culumon! sung by Tomoko Kaneda, and a third one I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas which was never commercially released.
