Patamon is a Mammal Digimon whose large ears function as wings for flight, though its flying speed reaches only 1 km/h, making walking faster. Its appearance during flight is considered endearing and contributes to its popularity. Patamon exhibits an obedient and protective personality, diligently following instructions and defending its partners. Uniquely, it can manifest holy power without a Holy Ring, indicating genes inherited from ancient Digimon. Its primary attack, Boom Bubble (Air Shot), involves inhaling air and expelling it as an air projectile. Other attacks include Slamming Attack (Body Blow), Thousand Wings, Spin Kick, and Air Slam.
As Takeru Takaishi's partner, Patamon first appeared in *Digimon Adventure*. It evolves from Tokomon and achieves its Champion form, Angemon, during the battle against Devimon. Angemon sacrifices itself to defeat Devimon, later reforming as a Digi-Egg that hatches into Poyomon and recommences its evolutionary cycle. Patamon achieves its Ultimate form, MagnaAngemon (Holy Angemon), to combat Piedmon, and its Mega form, Seraphimon, in later conflicts. In *Digimon Adventure 02*, Patamon utilizes Armor Digivolution with Digimentals: the Digimental of Hope yields Pegasusmon, while the Digimental of Light results in Manbomon. Other Digimentals enable forms like Baromon (Courage) and Prairiemon (Kindness). Patamon also undergoes DNA Digivolution with Ankylomon to form Shakkoumon.
In *Digimon Adventure tri.*, Patamon regresses to Tokomon after intense battles but re-evolves to aid in defeating Ordinemon alongside other partner Digimon. During *Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna*, Patamon remains active but faces the risk of separation from Takeru due to the natural dissolution of partner bonds as humans age. In *Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning*, Patamon participates in confronting the giant Ukkomon above Tokyo Tower. Alongside other DigiDestined, it digivolves to support Takeru during the battle. Ukkomon's defeat leads to the global disappearance of Digivices, signifying that human-Digimon bonds no longer require physical devices. Patamon's presence continues beyond this event, depicted in narrative segments where Takeru writes novels about their experiences.
Patamon appears in video games like *Digimon World*, residing in Gear Savannah and working in an item shop after being defeated multiple times. In *Digimon World 3*, it is obtainable as a starter Digimon and can digivolve to Angemon, MagnaAngemon, and Seraphimon at specific levels. *Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth* and *Digimon Masters* feature Patamon in roles mirroring its anime appearances, including scenarios involving Myotismon. Card-based games like *Digimon World: Digital Card Arena* showcase Angemon as a Battle Master in Pyramid City, testing players with decks themed around holy attributes.
