Kumbhiramon is a Holy Beast Digimon. It is the "Rat" Deva, and serves the Digimon Sovereign Ebonwumon. As a follower of Ebonwumon, who boasts of its great wisdom, it is a sage who plays the part of the "challenger" in Ebonwumon's Zen Kōans. It is mostly able to predict the mindset of anyone but Ebonwumon, and has a habit of bewildering the opponent by announcing their next move. Though it uses sarcasm with an acrimonious tone, it charmingly ends all of its sentences with "~chū". As it's not very strong, it's not suited for flinging itself at the opponent, but by means of its powerful abilities of telekinesis, it freely operates a giant steel pestle as big as its own body, the Bǎo Chǔ (宝杵? lit. "Treasure Pestle").[2] Kumbhiramon is the only Deva able to counter Pajiramon's "Vahnijvala", through the power of its thoughts.[3]

- Deva Clone (Rokubunshin (六分身? lit. "Six Clones")): Splits itself into six bodies, then tackles the opponent.
- Bǎo Chǔ (宝杵? lit. "Treasure Pestle")
