Ukkomon is an Ancient Fairy Digimon. It is an ancient phantom Digimon whose activity records remain in the ancient Digital World. Rumors suppose that Ukkomon can grant the wishes of others, which is why it is said that many other Digimon gathered around it, flourished, and formed villages. However, as records of Ukkomon were cut off with the catastrophic destruction of the ancient Digital World, this Digimon is thought to have been wiped out.[2] It is a Digimon with a cute appearance that resembles a slippery marine creature. Its voice is adorable too.[3]

- Ukko, the God of the sky, weather, harvest and thunder in Finnish mythology.[4]
Development[]
The name Ukkomon was chosen by Yamatoya Akatsuki. It was chosen to be a Naked Sea Butterfly to convey a sense of "the original Digimon" with a form close to that of an atom or a single-celled organism in addition to its cute appearance and the unexpected aspect when it preys. Kenji Watanabe's original design for Ukkomon was changed after Tomohisa Taguchi told him he already had an image in mind for Ukkomon and as such Watanabe changed the design to match that. As Ukkomon was to be the first Digimon to make contact with a human child, Watanabe decided to make the design a simple primitive creature. Its eyes were designed to be similar to the first Digimon that were created, and were shaped and colored similar to Agumon's.[4]
