Kumamon is a Beastkin Digimon. It possesses power over Ice which bears the might of AncientMegatheriummon. It styles itself as holding rank as a member of a polar army's polar region defense force. Since it replies that the matter's top secret if you ask anything about it, the truth is unknown. It's thought to be largely something it dreamed up. However, its operation of the Launcher it carries (nicknamed Romeo) and its precision conduct in battle are genuine, and its survivalist knowledge also has a strong, truly reliable existence. Since it rarely acts of its own volition, it primarily operates in response to someone's requests or orders. It will have nothing to do if nobody is relying on it, and is likely to worry about its purpose in life and get completely depressed. The shots fired from its Launcher are special snowballs, so there are several varieties according to purpose.[8]
Attacks
- Frozen Tundra (ツララララ～ Tsurararara~?, lit. "Icicicicle~"): Takes the shape of an icicle and pounces at the opponent.
- Blizzard Blaster (Snow Bomber): Blindly fires supercooled snowballs from the Launcher.
- Crystal Breeze (カチカチコッチン Kachikachi Kocchin?, lit. "Frozen Tinkling"): Blows cold wind from its mouth to freeze its opponents.
- Kachikachi Hammer (カチカチハンマー? lit. "Frozen Hammer"): Freezes its opponent with its breath and then uppercuts them.
- V Jump Attack: Charges its enemy on its skis and attacks with them in a V shape.

Design
Kumamon is a small humanoid snow bear. It has two orange stripes on its cheeks, boxy ears, big black and white eyes, a small black nose, and a small mouth. It has arms about as long as its torso and three fingered hands, while its legs are barely long enough to fit its boots.
It wears green boxing-like head-gear that has a yellow bear face on the forehead part; green chest armor with a red-orange plate in the middle of its chest with the emblem of the Spirit of Ice on it, a rectangle shoulder guard on its right arm and on its left a metallic pauldron, and finally a pair of green and red-orange snow-boots with orange ridges on the bottom that also can change to skis. It has a green square rocket launcher with four slots, which is able to fire off snowballs called the "Romeo"; beyond its rocket launcher, it is able to either freeze things or turn itself into malleable ice.
