CERNUMON

Named after the celtic god Cernunnos, this is a new Ultimate stage Holy Beast Digimon overall resembling a giant elk with a big, bushy tail made of foliage and tree branch antlers that also form curling trumpets. These even have rows of little golden apples that evoke a trumpet's little piston switches, which is cute. There are also brassy exhaust pipes lining the beast's sides, which provide some visual balance with the gold colored horns. It's as over-the-top as you would expect from another god beast, but it has a nicer design principle than most others.

Special mention must be made of how you get this thing in its Digimon Pendulum Debut, however: exclusively by fusing these three digimon. Why a gryphon, a hydra, and pinocchio? It wouldn't make any sense from an outside perspective, but from within Digimon, these are two mythological beasts, one of them a plant monster, and a fairy-tale character made of carved wood. Together, their data reconfigures into a forest god with wooden musical instrument horns. It works fine!
