Cho-Hakkaimon is a Puppet Digimon. It is a feminine Digimon clothed in a pig costume. It was originally an Angel-species Digimon, but it committed a crime that incurred the wrath of Ophanimon and was banished from heaven, and that's when it took on its current appearance. As it is normally optimistic, it doesn't mind that it was changed into this appearance, and it has a very cheerful personality, but if it gets hungry it will be voracious enough to start getting all worked up, and it will take on a ferocious personality. If it becomes starved, it will go completely out of control. Cho-Hakkaimon's "Roketto Dīngpá" (炉傑塔釘鈀? lit. "Rocket Rake")[4] weapon is equipped with boosters, and combined with its superhuman strength, its power is tremendous. Because it wants to change its ferocious personality, it seeks to reform itself by going on a journey.[3]
