digimon

Crowmon is a Mysterious Bird Digimon. Possessing three legs, it is a bizarre Digimon. Although its jet-black body presents an evil image to those who see it, it is told that it is the Digimon who guides the chosen to El Dorado (Golden Land[3]) in the eastern Digital World. The eastern Digital World is a region where there are still many mysteries, and it is said that "El Dorado" is protected by multiple sacred barriers. Although it is said that, with Crowmon's guidance, the barriers will be released, traditionally, only those who surmount the "Threefold Trials" submitted by Crowmon will finally arrive at "El Dorado", and it is told that those who were not able to endure the trials are dispatched to the Dark Area.[4]
