(spelled '''V-mon''' in the Japanese Version) is a fictional character, a
Digimon from the ''
Digimon 02 '' series. he is
Davis Motomiya 's partner. Both he and Davis are alike in several ways, especially tempers. Sealed away since ancient times, this small dragon is one of the ancient Digimon that are able to
Armor Digivolve . His high athletic skills make him great for hand-to-hand combat.
He was voiced by
Noda Junko (Japan) and
Derek Stephen Prince (North America).
Veemon is a 2-feet tall humanoid
Lizard -like creatureDespite his classification as a
Dragon Digimon, Veemon looks, for all practical purposes, like a lizard. His skin is mostly
Blue , with a white belly and mouth. Veemon's
Head is large and roughly
Sperical , with two conical fleshy appendages attached to the back of it, possibly
Ear s. A small
Horn pokes where his nose would be. Veemon has large, 5-fingered
Hand s, with short white clawed, as well as 3-toed feet with stout claws. The
Yellow V -shaped mark between his large,
Pink ish
Eye s is probably a reference to his name. Veemon has the reputation to bring good luck.
In the English
Dub , Veemon speaks with a slight
Lisp , although this is mostly evident in how he pronounces his partner's name as "Davish". Of all the 01 and 02 Digimon, he was the one with the most affinities for hand-to-hand combat, both due to his attacks and personality. He was also the only one to demonstrate a persistent romantic interest (in
Gatomon ).
Veemon's usual attack in the anime is either his Vee-Headbutt or Vee-Knockout. With the exception of Vee-Punch, other attacks are found in video games. Additionally, In the
Digimon World 4 game, Veemon could use the Light Bringer
Longsword as his weapon.

Veemon was among three digimon of ancient time sealed by the Sovereign
Azulongmon in case of a crisis. When
Davis lifted the Digiegg of Courage, Veemon was freed from suspended animation. He quickly evolved to
Flamedramon to destroy the ring controlling a
Monochromon that attacked the group. Veemon remained in the
Digital World that day, but would subsequently return to the Real World each time his partner did. During most of the series, Veemon will revert to his in-training form of
DemiVeemon when travelling to the Real World. In mistakenly attempting to cheer Davis, Veemon was later badly beaten by the same
RedVeggiemon that had tortured
Gabumon .
Veemon accompanied Davis on all his subsequent clashes with the
Digimon Emperor , who would attempt to control and use him to humiliate Davis. Using the Digi-eggs of friendship and Miracles, he first digivolved to
Raidramon during the fight against the controlled
Agumon (in his
MetalGreymon form at the time), and to
Magnamon to fight
Kimeramon ,
Wormmon having lead him and Davis to the Digi-egg, which served as a power source to the Emperor's base.
After he revealed to Davis his crush on
Gatomon , Davis made various unsuccessful attempts at causing his partner to evolve to his champion form, eventually angering a
Tortomon that chased them around for a while until Veemon evolved to
ExVeemon and hurled him off a cliff. Veemon and Wormmon were later the first Digimon to
DNA Digivolve to form
Paildramon , in order to fight off
Arukenimon 's Okuwamon. They would repeat that feat regularly to fight
BlackWarGreymon , with various degrees of success. Then, around Christmas time, Veemon and
Wormmon were empowered by one of Azulongmon's Digicores. This enabled them, as Paildramon, to digivolve to
Imperialdramon who would mode-change into
Imperialdramon Fighter Mode during the battle against
SkullSatamon , thanks to the extra power given up by the original
Adventure Digimon.
During the final battle against
MaloMyotismon , Veemon Digivolved to ExVeemon to fight the villain on his own while the other Destined where trapped in illusions. When Davis wished for his partner to become stronger, Veemon somehow evolved to all his standalone forms at once. After they freed the others from their illusions, ExVeemon and Stingmon evolved to their three higher forms.When all the digivolved duplicates crossed back into the Digital World, only ImperialDramon Fighter Mode did not disappear, prompting the conclusion that all other forms were actually doppelgangers of somesort.
After MaloMyotismon's defeat, on Valentines day, Veemon helped Davis in his identity crisis to the point of having himself be beaten by his partner when he assumed Ken's "Emperor" persona. But after that was settled and
Pukumon appeared, Veemon Armor Digivolved to
Saggitarimon after Davis ended up with TK's D-Terminal. By the summer of 2003,
Diaboromon returned, and set in motion a series of events that led to a mass of
Kuramon forming into the gigantic
Armageddemon . Over the course of this battle,
Omnimon gave Imperialdramon his power, causing him to mode change into the even more powerful
Imperialdramon Paladin Mode .
- Prior to becoming Davis' partner in the anime, Veemon was Ryo 's partner during the events of the WonderSwan game . Veemon and Ryo partnered in order to defeat Milleniummon .
- In , multiple Veemon were seen at the Autumn Leaf Fair.
- Veemon was with Davis when he was sent to the continuity containing Taichi Yagami and Zeromaru during a battle against Parallelmon , who had been kidnapping Tamers and Digi-Destined from various universes. During the battle, he digivolved into ExVeemon , Flamedramon , and finally, Magnamon , who aided Zeromaru in destroying Parallelmon. In the end Davis and the rest of the Digi-Destined returned to their respective universes.
- The "V" in Veemon's name stands for "victory".
- Veemon is generally considered the natural rookie form of Veedramon .
- Veemon's japanese name literally Transliterates to and is pronounced as ''Buimon'', this is in part due to the fact that traditional Katakana does not differenciate between the sounds /b/ and /v/. It is, however, always transcribed as V-mon.
