Kumamon

Kumamon is a Beast Man 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 ) 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.

Attacks
 * Frozen Tundra (ツララララ～): Takes the shape of an icicle and pounces at the opponent.
 * Tsurara Punch (ツララパンチ): Turns its hand into an icicle and then punches.
 * Tsurara Fall (ツララフォール): Turns its lower body into an icicle and then drops down.
 * Blizzard Blaster (Snow Bomber): Blindly fires snowballs from the Launcher.
 * Crystal Breeze (カチカチコッチン): Blows cold wind from its mouth to freeze its opponents.
 * Kachikachi Hammer (カチカチハンマー): 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.

Development
The names Polarmon (ポーラモン) and Shirokumon (しろくもん), from the English and Japanese and Shirokuma (シロクマ), were considered before the name "Chackmon" was officially chosen.
