Patamon is a small orange cute flying guinea pig like creature with light blue eyes and bat-like wings, which could possibly be his ears. This mammal digimon has also been considered to look like a mouse or pig with wings.

Patamon is a main character in Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02, as well as the movies Digimon Adventure (The movie), Our War Game!, The Golden Digimentals and Diaboromon Strikes Back. Patamon also appears as a supporting character in Digimon Frontier.

Patamon is the playful Digimon partner of Takeru. In Digimon Adventure, Patamon was the last of the Digi-Destined Digimon to achieve his Champion form, and the last again to achieve his Ultimate form. However, both his Champion and Ultimate forms are immensely powerful for their respective level, and are responsible for defeating Devimon and the final Dark Master, Piedmon respectively.

Takeru returns as a main character in the second Digimon Adventure 02 season, as does Patamon. Because of the Digimon Emperor's control spires, Patamon was no longer able to Digivolve into his Champion form, and instead fought in his Armor form when he uses the Digi-Egg of Hope - Pegasusmon. In the 2020 series, Patamon can Digivolve to Pegasusmon without the Digi-Egg of Hope.

In the series, Patamon has a childish and sensitive personality.
