Ebonwumon is a fictional character from the Digimon franchise, one of the Digimon Sovereigns. He resembles a turtle with a second snake-like head and a tree for a shell and is the Guardian of the Northern Hemisphere of the Digital World. He has an affable personality. The Japanese name is Xuanwumon, which is named for the Chinese astronomical name for the northern quadrant of the sky, Xuanwu, which comes from the characters for "black warrior." The Japanese derivative is Genbu. The Chinese often portray Xuanwu as a turtle, and the Japanese copied this tradition, as seen in the design of Ebonwumon. To play him in the card game, you must discard either of these three Digimon from the Digimon Box: Kumbhiramon, Vajramon, and Vikaralamon. In the English version of the series, he has both a Scottish accent and an Irish accent.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Although Ebonwumon neither appeared nor was mentioned in the series, he was one of the Harmonious Ones (the name of the Sovereigns in this series), who, together with his partners was defeated by the Dark Masters. They were released when the DigiDestined used the powers of their crests. When Ken Ichijouji became the Digimon Emperor, they were sealed again and so created the D-3 Digivice, which they gave the new DigiDestined to fight against Ken.

Ryo and Cyberdramon encountered Ebonwumon in Baihumon's territory, which he guarded while Baihumon was fighting the D-Reaper, however then reappeared wounded. Later on, Baihumon and Ebonwumon met with Azulongmon and Zhuqiaomon on how to handle the D-Reaper situation and helped Calumon release the Shining Digivolution which Digivolved every Digimon everywhere to their Mega forms to help the Sovereign. In the final battle against the D-Reaper, Ebonwumon assisted Azulongmon, Baihumon, and Zhuqiaomon into dragging the Cable Reaper back into the Digital World during Operation: Doodlebug, thus saving the Tamers.
