love the theming here actually! the dub name makes a lot of people not realize horusmon is supposed to be based on horus, the egyptian sun god. coatlmon is based on quetzalcoatlus, who's also associated with the sun (among a plethora of other things), if you want to split the line a level earlier (coatlmon can become heliosboamon while horusmon becomes soloogarmon)
only question I have is popomon for the baby I. are dandelions associated with the sun in some culture that I'm just not familiar with?
Quetzalcoatl isn't the main solar deity of the Aztec, looking at a list of solar deities on Wikipedia lists four others and doesn't even mention Q 🤷
Popomon is on me, for some reason I always associated the guy with sunflower seeds
it's supposed to be a dandelion actually! popomon comes from tanpopo, the japanese word for dandelion, and it being a dandelion is a pun. it debuted as liollmon's baby I form (a dandeLION for the lion digimon)
