[edit] Appearance

Though being based on a fox, Kudamon generally resembles a white ferret or weasel. He has small forelimbs, golden markings, and a tail with a bell at the end of it. His collar was a Power Ring.

[edit] Description

This Kudamon, different from the original design in the card game, is the partner of Rentarou Satsuma. He serves as Satsuma's advisor in matters relating the Digimon, and assists in the running of DATS. In times of danger Kudamon can Digivolve into Reppamon and/or Qilinmon.

It was later revealed that Kudamon is actually the Royal Knight Sleipmon, sent by Yggdrasil to keep an eye on the humans while undercover. However, overtime, Kudamon soon grew fond of the humans and therefore could not obey Yggdrasil's orders to exterminate them. He exposed his identity to Gallantmon and fought him to protect the DATS crew, their battle ending in a draw and leaving their fates unknown when they disappeared in Sleipmon's attack. In episode 46, at the end, Gallantmon and Sleipmon are seen falling into a what seems like a bottomless trench. In episode 47, Gallantmon returns holding an unconscious Kudamon, having been freed thanks to Sleipmon. He reunites with Satsuma in episode 48, but the meeting is short as he decides to return to the Digital World with the other Digimon.

[edit] Other forms
