Tengumon

Profile Name & Etymology Debut Design & Analysis ⇨ Japanese A Daitengu Digimon that lives in the dark depths of the mountains with Karatenmon serving as its followers. The Karatenmon train daily under Tengumon, but ultimately, the trial imposed upon them is defeating Tengumon. Moreover, the one who defeats it evolves into the next Tengumon. It is said that the new Tengumon will firstly wave its Genriki-filled gunbai and then cause a natural disaster to announce their succession. Its Special Move is unleashing a kick while slashing with the blades on the bottom of its geta (Maen Zanshūgeki). Its "Sonten Daireppū", in which it channels all of its Genriki into its gunbai and waves it, unleashing a tornado that can lift even boulders, is both feared and lauded by mountain Digimon as it boasts the power to incinerate opponents along with the terrain. Digimon Reference Book ⇨ English 暗く深い山奥で、カラテンモン達を配下として暮らす大天狗デジモン。カラテンモン達はテングモンの下で日々修行を積むが、その果てに課される試練がテングモンを倒すことである。そして倒した者こそが次代のテングモンへ進化する。新たなテングモンは、まず最初に験力を込めた軍配を振い、天変地異を起こして代替わりを知らしめるという。 　必殺技は、下駄底の刃で斬撃を伴った蹴りを放つ『魔縁斬蹴撃（まえんざんしゅうげき）』。軍配にあらん限りの験力を込めて振い、岩すらも巻き上げた竜巻をぶつける『尊天大烈風（そんてんだいれっぷう）』は、敵対した者を地形ごと灰燼に帰すほどの威力を誇ることから、山のデジモン達からは恐れ敬われている。 デジモン図鑑 Name Etymology Name: Tengumon Kanji/Kana: テングモン Romanization: Tengumon Digimoji: Other Languages: | 天狗兽 | 天狗獸 | 텐구몬 | Tengu The tengu 「天狗」 is a type of yōkai or Shinto kami from Japanese mythology. They are often depicted as humanoid creatures with bird-like features and a characteristic red face with a long nose. Year Active 2025 Digimon Reference Book Entry Date January 20, 2026 V-Pet Pendulum COLOR 7 Toho Braves Tengumon was designed to fulfill Karatenmon’s profile as the "Daitengu Digimon" that Karatenmon follows. Tengumon’s design bears resemblance to Garudamon, particularly the leg markings, the wing designs, the shape of the arms, and the cloth tied around the left arm. These elements may be shared due to the "tengu" of Shinto myth and the "Garuda" of Hindu myth both being humanoid bird creatures. The gunbai held by Tengumon bears a full and crescent moon design, these symbols are also visible on the chest armor of Enmamon. Enmamon’s namesake, "King Yama" originates in Vedic Hindu mythology, in which King Yama is served by crows that travel between the realm of the dead and the mortal realm. The kanji on the gunbai reads "Ryūsei" (流星; lit. "meteor"). The term tengu (天狗; lit. "heavenly dog") is believed to have been borrowed from the Chinese mythical creature, the tiāngǒu, which resembles a black dog or meteor.
