Digimon, Veemon is the one with the most affinity for hand-to-hand combat, due to both his attacks and his personality.
Veemon is a main character in Digimon Adventure 02
, and also appears in its two related movies The Golden Digimentals and Diablomon Strikes Back. Veemon does not digivolve to his natural ultimate, and mega in the season 2 which are AeroVeedramon and UlforceVeedramon.
Veemon, along with Hawkmon
and Armadillomon
, are the three Digimon of ancient times who were sealed away by the Sovereign Azulongmon, to be awakened again in a time of crisis. Veemon was freed in the first episode of Digimon Adventure 02
when Davis
lifted the Digi-Egg of Courage.
Throughout Digimon Adventure 02
, Veemon gains the ability to assume three different Armor forms – one from each of the three Digi-Eggs that his partner Davis
acquires. After the defeat of the Digimon Emperor, Veemon's other champion form, ExVeemon, is unlocked, as well as the ability to DNA Digivolve with Stingmon.
In Diablomon Strikes Back, Veemon (in the form of Imperialdramon) is able to reach the Imperialdramon Paladin Mode form after Omnimon donated its power to Imperialdramon. Veemon appears in Digimon Data Squad.
In the episode "Davis Cries Wolfmon", Veemon appears to develop a crush on Kari Kamiya
's Gatomon
, more than likely influenced by his partner's not-so-secret crush on Kari. This is further inforced when Ken Ichijouji
makes a comment that Veemon could try to "get Gatomon under the mistletoe" when he invited everyone to his Christmas party. Because the "get Gatomon under the mistletoe" comment was only mentioned on the US dub and not in the original Japanese version it is not precisely cannon since Ken did not know about Veemon's crush on Gatomon, mostly since Ken rarely was with the others after he was defeated due to feeling guilty.
