In Digimon Tamers, Zhuqiaomon was solely responsible for the creation of the Deva, who it sent to abduct Calumon. However, in broader Digimon lore, it is but one of four Digimon sovereign (a group of Digimon who previously appeared in Digimon Adventure 02, with the focus on Azulongmon) each of whom rule over three of the Deva.
After meeting Shu-Chong "Suzie" Wong, Antylamon defected to the side of the protagonists.
The Deva are all based on signs of the Chinese Zodiac.
Azulongmon of the East rules over Mihiramon (the tiger), Antylamon (the rabbit), and Majiramon (the dragon).
Ebonwumon of the North rules over Vikaralamon (the pig), Kumbhiramon (the rat), and Vajramon (the bull).
Baihumon of the West rules over Makuramon (the monkey), Sinduramon (the chicken), and Caturamon (the dog).
Finally, Zhuqiaomon of the South rules over Sandiramon (the snake), Indaramon (the horse), and Pajiramon (the sheep).
Embodying the center of the Earth is Huanglongmon.
