Huankunmon is an Aquatic Digimon. It is a giant Digimon with scales that can rival even Chrome Digizoid in toughness. Huankunmon has a warm nature and values clean water, so it protects lake areas from pollution. When it feeds, it jumps out of water and flies through the air as smoothly as it swims through water, satisfying its hunger by swallowing flying Digimon whole. However, its large body makes it an easy target, so it often mixes in with flocks of Xiquemon to travel around. When it moves, Huankunmon will surround the entire flock with a large bubble for protection. Since the bubble refracts light, the flock, including Huankunmon, will be invisible to the outside.[3]
Attacks
- Lonely Bubble (孤籠泡 Gūlǒngpào?, lit. "Lonely Prison Bubble"): Produces a bubble from its fin that will seal its target inside, limiting its movement.
- Ice Crash (冰乱結突 Bīngluàn Jiétū?, lit. "Ice-chunk Crash"): Spits out a slew of icicles from its mouth.
- Tidal Vortex (潮流旋涡 Cháoliú Xuánwō?): Summons the spinning tides and turns them into a pillar of water that slams into its enemy.
Design
Huankunmon is derived from the Peng, a giant bird in Chinese mythology that transformed from a Kūn giant fish.

Fiction
Digimon Liberator
During Yao Qinglan's duel with Shoto Kazama, Yao attacks Shoto's security with BT19-027: Ryugumon and then uses BT19-082: Yao Qinglan's effect to put BT19-023: Huankunmon under it as a digivolution source — who's inherited effect makes it so that Ryugumon's attack target cannot be changed. Later in the duel, when EX8-074: MedievalGallantmon attacks the suspended BT19-019: Shellmon, Yao uses the inherited effect of BT19-002: Puyoyomon under Ryugumon to send Ryugumon back to the deck to send ST18-05: Muchomon to Shoto's hand then uses Ryugumon's Decode effect to play Huankunmon from under its digivolution sources for free. Yao tries to use Huankunmon's On Play effect to make Shellmon immune to battle destruction, but as it is still Shoto's turn he is allow to use his effects first. He uses one of MedievalGallantmon's effects to destroy Huankunmon, and as it is no longer on the field it is unable to use its On Play effect. MedievalGallantmon's attack then destroys Shellmon.
