Digimon Season 1-5
Merukimon - Mega Level
Merukimon is a powerful Digimon and one of the Olympus Twelve. He raised Keenan after the death of Keenan's guardian, Frigimon, and ruled over a portion of the Digital World from his palace, the Infinite Ice Ridge. He met Spencer Damon 10 years ago in the past, believing his words that humans and Digimon can co-exist. But his faith towards humans turned into animosity when a group of humans led by Kurata appeared in the Digital World and begun to delete Digimon. However, when the truth was revealed by Kurata himself, Merukimon decided to try believing in Spencer's words again, and sacrificed his life to save Keenan, Marcus, and the others. Merukimon first appeared when he decided to go to the human world after learning that Falcomon had travelled there to find Puwamon. He arrived just in time to save Falcomon from GeoGreymon's Mega Burst attack. After been attacked by Marcus, Merukimon proceeded to defeat GeoGreymon, Gaogamon and Sunflowmon. He was also able to revert Biyomon (Puwamon's evolved form) back into a Digi-Egg. Merukimon then tempered with Biyomon's Digi-Egg, attempting to 'purge' the human influence from it. He was unsuccessful, and the egg hatched again into Biyomon. Biyomon was now fixated on Kristy (Marcus's sister). Biyomon then Digivolved into Aquilamon and escaped to wreck havoc in the human world. DATS discovered Merukimon's signal mixed with Biyomon's data, leading DATS to believe that Merukimon is responsible for breaking down the boundary between the human and Digital Worlds. Marcus and his group was sent off to investigate and put an end to Merukimon.
Cherrymon reveals that Merukimon and those working for him entered the Real World via the Digital Gate located within Merukimon's palace. Although Merukimon was warned by his minion Gotsumon, he did not regard the DATS members as a threat. Merukimon easily defeats the DATS Digimon, but before he can finish them off, he sees Commander-General Yushima, another familiar face. Yushima and Gwappamon hold Merukimon at bay while the others escape. After that, Gotsumon tries to convince Merukimon that Keenan is a traitor and that he and the Humans must be destroyed. However, Merukimon refuses to believe Keenan actually betrayed him and had no intention to attack the humans. This resulted in SaberLeomon deciding to take matter into his own hands, with Gotsumon leaving Merukimon's side to aid him. Merukimon eventually learned the truth of what truly occurred as Kurata used his Gizumon AT to perform a sneak attack on Merukimon, telling the Digimon that Spencer was a fool to trust Digimon. Gizumon AT became Gizumon XT, and Merukimon sacrificed his life to damage Gizumon XT to protect Marcus, Keenan, and the others with a renewed faith in Spencer's dream. Merukimon was destroyed in that battle, and so was his Digi-Egg.
Attacks
Thousand Fist: Uses a short and speedy teleport to get close to the opponent, then pours on a hyper-barrage.
Spiritual Enchant: Uses its excellence in Shamanism and the knife Aztec to summon apparitions from a parallel universe.

SaberLeomon - Mega Level
SaberLeomon is a powerful Mega-level Digimon was one of the Digimon who saw humans as a threat, attacking the research group that was searching for Keenan Crier. He attacked Spencer's group and Spencer was able to knock him down. That very same Digimon reappears 10 years later, questioning Merukimon's policies before assembling his own army of Boarmon and Pteramon with aid from Gotsumon to attack the real world. He recalled about the events about the humans who were deleting Digimon. He appears in the Real World to fight RizeGreymon, MachGaogamon, and Lilamon. During the fight, a Gizumon AT appears and SaberLeomon is hit with Gizumon's laser, causing him to be paralyzed and confused. Marcus punches and breaks one of his fangs and SaberLeomon is killed by RizeGreymon. However SaberLeomon's egg is destroyed as an after effect of Gizumon's laser. SaberLeomon's appearance is much larger than in the first Digimon.

The Seven Great Demon Lords
The Seven Great Demon Lords are a group of Demon Lord Digimon who each represent one of the Seven Deadly Sins. They are based on various demons from within Judeo-Christian mythology, most notably Paradise Lost by John Milton and Clavicula Solomonis Regis, an anonymous 17th-century grimoire. There are also three "Super Demon Lords" who are closely related to the group. These Digimon are based on the Beasts of Revelation, and evolve from the Seven Great Demon Lords. Although members of this group, as well as characters of the same species, have appeared individually as antagonists throughout the Digimon franchise, there are only a few occasions in which they appear as a whole. In Digimon Savers, the villain Belphemon is mentioned as one of their number.
Each of the Seven Great Demon Lords possesses a unique "Crest" displayed in one of the seven colors of the visible spectrum. Each depicts one of the seals of the "Seven Olympian Spirits", a group of mythological entities who, under God, ruled over the 196 provinces of Heaven and presided over the natural world for 490 years each. Each Olympian Spirit is associated with a heavenly body, also depicted on the Crest. Within the space between the two concentric circles is text stating a designated Level (this is "666" for all the crests, a reference to the "Number of the Beast" mentioned in the Book of Revelation), System (the demon that traditionally represents the Demon Lord's respective sin), and Code (the Demon Lord's respective sin). At the bottom of the inner circle is text which specifies a caution for a Purgatory Level ranging between 1 and 7, corresponding to the arrangement of Purgatory within Dante Alighieri's La Divina Commedia. The seven Crests also appear together as the "Crown of the Seven Deadly Sins", worn by both Lucemon Shadowlord Mode and Ogudomon, and appear as seals upon the "Gate of Deadly Sins".

Lucemon Chaos Mode - Ultimate Level
Lucemon Chaos Mode is a Demon Lord Digimon whose name and design are derived from the mythological Lucifer, the angelic name of Satan, with "Luce" (Anti-Light) and "Falldown" as a reference to that name. One of the "Seven Great Demon Lords", it represents the Sun and the sin of Pride. It is the strongest of the group, and possesses both the divine and the diabolic. It instigated a rebellion in the far-flung past, and so it was sealed in the Dark Area along with many other Demon Lord Digimon. Its power exceeds that of Ultimates, and is said to rival that of the existence called "God" as well. It has a contradictory existence, in that one side of it loves all things, as God does, while the other is trying to destroy the whole world, as the Devil does. Hence, once it destroys this world, it intends to create a fresh new world.
As the Demon Lord, leader of all the other Digimon, it takes all six of the Key Cards to unlock him from his seal. The main antagonist wishes to use his power to become the strongest Tamer; Lucemon Chaos Mode has other plans, however, and refuses to be used. After being defeated, Lucemon Chaos Mode digivolves to the Demon Lord form, the final boss, only to be defeated once more.
Attacks
Paradise Lost Punch: Launches the opponent high into the air with a wild dance of blows, then holds their limbs fixed as it drives them back into the ground.
Ultimate Sacrifice: Produces a three-dimensional magic square as a glowing orb of Light and Darkness and traps the opponent within this orb, which has a 50/50 chance of either completely annihilating them, or merely inflicting massive damage.

Lucemon Shadowlord Mode - Mega Level
Lucemon Shadowlord Mode is the final boss of the game, known in game as Demon Lord, "Super Demon Lord". Unlike in Frontier, he is not controlled by Lucemon Larva. This is also the only Digimon whose digivolution cannot be unlocked; however, he does digivolve from Lucemon Chaos Mode.

Leviamon - Mega Level
Leviamon is a Demon Lord Digimon whose name and design are derived from the mythological Leviathan, the demonic sea monster in the Torah. One of the "Seven Great Demon Lords", it represents Mercury and the sin of Envy. Called the "Devil Beast" out of terror of the exceedingly mighty power that it possesses, it is the strongest monster existing in the Digital World. This extensive monster, said to possess gigantic jaws which could guzzle even the Digital World, is reported to sleep in the depths of the Net Ocean nearest to the Dark Area, and if it is awakened it will despise any Digimon at the top, and will run away even from Angel Digimon, much less other Demon Lord Digimon. However, as the existence of the limits on Digimon are decoded, its own appears similar to nothingness, and it is said that it builds the foundation for the existence of wickedness in the Digital World. Leviamon is the boss of the Sea Precipice Jerapilus, and is formed from an envious child and the Code Key of Envy.
Attacks
Rostrum: Destroys everything with its gigantic jaws.
Cauda: Mows everything down with its long tail.

Daemon - Mega Level
Daemon is a Demon Lord Digimon whose name and design are derived from the mythological Cacodaemon. One of the "Seven Great Demon Lords", it represents Jupiter and the sin of Wrath. It leads the many Demon and Fallen Angel Digimon, and like Devimon it was originally an Angel Digimon, and a particularly high-ranked one. It is said that before it fell to the Dark Area and became a Demon Lord Digimon, it was in fact a Seraphimon. However, in response to a Being of Goodness in the Digital World (possibly the creator of the Digital World), it raged in fury and rebellion, and so was deleted to the Dark Area. It has vowed to one day conquer the Digital World, in revenge against the being of goodness. Also, while it led the rebellion, and was the strongest among the Ultimates, it plotted to secretly revive the "Super-Ultimate Digimon". Creepymon first appears and defeats Marcus and Agumon at Walter Island, after the pair defeat Tylomon. It is later revealed that it was created from former DATS member Misaki Nitta and a "Code Key of Wrath" card. Creepymon meets its end through Tsukasa Kagura. Because Nitta had spent so long as Creepymon, he is unable to return to normal and remains as data fragments in the Digital World.
Attack
Evil Inferno: Attacks with extremely high-temperature hellfire that burns up the opponent without a trace.

Belphemon Sleep Mode - Mega Level
Belphemon Sleep Mode is a Demon Lord Digimon whose name is derived from the mythological Belphegor, and whose design is derived from the Second Beast of Revelation. It resembles a cuter baby version of his Rage Mode. In this form, an alarm clock is bound around his body by chains, and a green energy aura surrounds his body. Before the events of the series, Akihir Kurata discovered a temple, inside he found a door bearing the crest of courage, upon entering he found a chest containing a Digi-Egg that would later hatch and digivolve into Belphemon Sleep Mode. Kurata then began a campaign to revive Belphemon by collecting "Digimon life energy", and thereby conquer both the human world and the Digital World - a task he succeeds at by destroying and collecting the life energy of the massive ElDradimon.
Believing he has successfully brought Thomas to his cause, Kurata uses the "Digimon control device" Thomas had made for him to command Belphemon. However, during Belphemon's attack, Thomas double-crosses Kurata, and destroys the control device, forcing Kurata to make another gambit. He seemingly transforms himself into data and merges with Belphemon, taking control over the Digimon's body and transforming it into Belphemon Rage Mode.
Attacks
Eternal Nightmare: Yawns and releases a powerful wave of destruction.
Lampranthus: Release a powerful wave of infernal flames of his chains, destroying everything in his path.

Belphemon - Mega Level
Belphemon is a Demon Lord Digimon whose name and design are derived from the demon Belphegor. Belphemon is the Demon Lord of Sloth, and is usually sealed within his teddy-bear-like "Sleep Mode". Every 1000 years, he awakens into his "Rage Mode", in which his features are more animalistic and predatory, and he takes the form of a giant, multi-winged monster. The chains that bound him in Sleep Mode are wrapped around his arms, and an energy aura surrounds parts of his body. After Thomas double-crosses Kurata and destroys the device he was using to control Belphemon Sleep Mode, Kurata is forced to transform himself into data and merge with Belphemon, taking control over the Digimon's body and transforming it into Belphemon Rage Mode. Soon after, Thomas comes to join the fight, with Marcus on his way as well. MirageGaogamon faces off against Belphemon only to be stomped on. He might have been finished if Rosemon didn't seized Belphemon's arm. Belphemon Rage Mode blocks the attacks shot by Rosemon and defeats Crowmon, who reverts back to Falcomon. Through Keenan's rage, Falcomon double warp digivolves to Ravemon and attacks Belphemon but is unable to do anything more than anger him. Belphemon launches an attack at Marcus and Thomas, which Ravemon blocks. Soon, Kurata loses control of Belphemon, whose only goal is destruction. Marcus's Digi-Egg hatches and digivolves from Koromon to Agumon.
Once Agumon digivolves into ShineGreymon, Kurata's face emerges from Belphemon's chest and startes to drain electricity from the city to cause Belphemon Rage Mode to grow and swallow a number of space oscillation devices to give it the power to tear rifts between both worlds, threatening to bring both worlds crashing together. He defeates RookChessmon and BishopChessmon, who revert back to the two PawnChessmon. ShineGreymon digivolves into Burst Mode and destroyes Belphemon Rage Mode, with help from Marcus' D.N.A. going straight through Belphemon Rage Mode's chest, where Kurata's face is. Despite the fact that, normally, Belphemon's Sleep Mode is not considered a member, the voice over for Belphemon Sleep Mode includes it as one.
Attacks
Lampranthus: Release a powerful wave of infernal flames of his chains, destroying everything in his path.
Gift of Darkness: Attack his foes with a powerful energy blast.

Barbamon - Mega Level
Barbamon is a Demon Lord Digimon whose name and design are derived from the mythological Barbatos. One of the "Seven Great Demon Lords", it has the appearance of a bearded old-man and represents Saturn and the sin of Greed. Residing within the heart of the Dark Area, the den of demons, it manipulates Fallen Angel Digimon to carry out evil to its limit. It is obsessed with all of the treasure which exists within the Network, so out of avarice, and regardless of the means, it has a cruel personality with a greed that would kill Digimon just for a piece of treasure. It is the foremost and most cunning schemer of the Seven Great Demon Lords, and can easily manipulate the Mega Ghoulmon in addition to Fallen Angel Digimon. Barbamon is the boss of the Mirage Museum and was created from a missing girl and a "Code Key of Greed" card. After the DATS team defeat him, the girl and card return to normal.
Attacks
Death Lure: Uses its demonic staff "Death Lure" to tempt Digimon into an inescapable living hell, converting them to wickedness.
Pandemonium Lost: Unleashes all of the Dark Area's evil energies at once as an extremely high-temperature explosion that burns up everything without a trace.

Beelzemon - Mega Level
Beelzemon is a Demon Lord Digimon whose name and design are derived from the mythological Beelzebub. One of the "Seven Great Demon Lords", it represents Venus and the sin of Gluttony. While it possesses the power to command the many Demon Digimon, it dares to observe a solitary existence. It is said that it could stand at the peak of the dark army, "Nightmare Soldiers", if it cared to, although it is also said that there exists a Demon Lord Digimon which surpasses even Beelzemon. It possesses its favorite shotgun "Berenjena", and rides on the gigantic motorcycle-type machine, "Behemoth". Although its personality is cruel and merciless, it is also exceedingly prideful, so it would never attack the weak.
Attacks
Darkness Claw: Raises a claw overheard and then tears the opponent to pieces.
Double Impact: Rapidly fires the Berenjena.

Lilithmon - Mega Level
Lilithmon is a Demon Lord Digimon whose name and design are derived from the mythological Lilith, the demonic first wife of Adam in the Talmud. One of the "Seven Great Demon Lords", it has the appearance of a woman and represents the Moon and the sin of Lust. It is thought that it was originally an Ophanimon, but it fell from heaven and eventually became known as the "Goddess of Darkness". It confounds its opponents with its bewitchingly lovely appearance, and it is said that those who are taken in by its temptations are invariably granted death. Its reputation as the "Goddess of Darkness" is appropriate, as it is tolerant to wickedness, but offers only cold-hearted inhumanity to goodness. The demonic "Nazar Nail" on its right arm corrodes everything it touches.
Attacks
Phantom Pain: Rots the opponent's body with a sigh of darkness, causing the data to dissipate from the tips of their bodies, and they suffer from that pain as they die.
Nazar Nail: Corrodes anything it touches with the Nazar Nail on its right arm.

Akihiro's Army
Akihiro Kurata
Ten years before the start of the series, Kurata was a member of the Digital World exploration party, whose task was to investigate the Digital World, as well as search for the lost son of Kevin and Michelle Crier, Keenan Crier. In the Digital World, Kurata reacted with nothing but fear towards the strange monsters that appeared before them like Lynxmon and Ikkakumon, a fact that he was chastized for by another member of the expedition, Spencer Damon, the father of the series' main character, Marcus. Eventually, the group became terrorized by SaberLeomon, who chased them to an area of the Digital World that would become known as the Infinity Ice Ridge. There, the frightened Kurata used a sort of make-shift bomb to escape to open a portal to the real world, which he and the rest of the expedition used to escape to the human world while Spencer held SaberLeomon. His experiences in the Digital World left a lasting effect on Kurata - his fear of them apparently led him to decide that Digimon were a menace and threat to humanity. So, while Spencer negotiated an alliance with the powerful Digimon, Merukimon, Kurata worked to invade the Digital World, resulting in the creation of his own Digimon: Gizumon, a Digimon without a soul created from Kurata's experiments on other Digimon.
Kurata led an attack force into the Digital World, and used his Gizumon to ravage the Digital World and exterminate as many Digimon as possible. With the Gizumon's ability to permanently delete a Digimon, these actions resulted in the very permanent death of many Digimon, including Keenan's guardian, Frigimon. Merukimon intervened, believing Spencer and the humans had betrayed him, forcing the fearful Kurata to again escape to the Real World. Kurata did not factor into the events of the series again (at least, in a manner that was not unseen) until the Digimon Gotsumon led SaberLeomon's army of Boarmon and Pteramon into the real world. Kurata used a massive Digital Gate to return the Boarmon and Pteramon back to their world. After this, Kurata revealed himself to the members of DATS, attempting to pass himself off as an ally. When SaberLeomon himself came to the Human World, Kurata used one of his Gizumon to ensure the Digimon would be permanently deleted. Though others suspected him, only his former expedition member, Commander Sampson (Rentarou Satsuma), had a true inkling of what Kurata was planning.
After this, Kurata went with the members of DATS, who intended to permanently settle matters with Merukimon. However, once there, Merukimon revealed that Kurata had been responsible for the massacre in the Digital World years before - a fact revealed to the DATS team and Keenan (who had been raised by Merukimon and had befriended Marcus and the others). Kurata turned the tables on them, and used Gizumon AT (which later turned into Gizumon XT) to fatally wound Merukimon. The group fought back, but it was only when Merukimon used the last of his strength to damage Gizumon XT that they were able to turn the tide. Keenan managed to help his partner Falcomon Digivolve into Crowmon, who obliterated Gizumon XT. Kurata escaped again. In the Real World, Kurata tricked the Confidentiality Ministry, headed by Chief Hashiba, that Marcus and the other members of DATS were traitors. Through this, he had most of the group's memories erased, and had Keenan, Sampson, and all other members of the DATS branch imprisoned. However, thanks to their partners, Marcus, Thomas and Yoshi manage to recover their memories just as Kurata sent a Gizumon AT toward them. Undeterred from that defeat, Kurata blew up the DATS building, and with Gizumon XT, escaped to the Digital World, in order to put his plans for genocide into motion. He sent Kouki, Ivan, and Nanami (the same ones that defeated Crowmon) to deal with Marcus, Thomas, and Yoshino whom they ran afoul of. When it came to the Holy Capital invasion, Kurata gave his human henchmen an upgrade to their forms.
He planted Digital Gates that brought ElDradimon to the Real World to cause panic to give him control of the military. He had the Gizmon merge with a missile to destroy ElDradimon. Kurata got Thomas on his side promising that he will cure Thomas's sister; the cure involved performing surgery on Relena to fuse her with Digimon data, thus turning her into Digimon-human hybrid. In addition, to ensure Thomas would not betray him he secretly had planted before a bomb device inside Relena's necklace. He later revealed to Thomas the Digimon Belphemon in his Sleep Mode and how he found his Digi-Egg and was using the deleted Digimon data to revive him. He plans to use the Digimon Demon Lord not only to subjugate the other Digimon and the Digital World and destroy at his leisure, but for his bid to rule the human world as well. When Thomas breaks the Digimon Control Device, he refuses to join Kurata's side and betrays him. Enraged, Kurata merges with Belphemon by transforming himself into a DigiSoul and transmitting into the beast, becoming his Rage Mode. He later temporarily loses control of the Demon Lord, regaining control when his face appears on Belphemon's chest. Kurata and Belphemon then drain the city's electricity and swallow the space-oscillation bombs, causing Belphemon to grow and gain the power to rip holes between the Real and Digital Worlds using dark energy. Marcus and ShineGreymon are able to destroy Belphemon when ShineGreymon digivolves to its Burst Mode, and Kurata is returned to human form. Furious, he sets off a space-oscillation bomb to destroy the Digital World, but instead aggravates the tears between the Real and Digital World. He was then shocked for what he had done as he then vanishes into an explosion of bright light.
Memories of every atrocity, misdeed and cold-hearted action committed by Kurata himself remain. Despite his downfall, he leaves behind a foul legacy of sorts that haunts everything for the remainder of the series. Because of his ruthless Digimon genocide, Spencer suffers, as well as sparking the conflict with the Royal Knights and Yggdrasil later on. Ultimately, his reckless handiwork left both the human and Digital World close on the verge of total destruction.

Marcus and ShineGreymon are able to destroy Belphemon when ShineGreymon digivolves to its Burst Mode, and Kurata is returned to human form. Furious, he sets off a space-oscillation bomb to destroy the Digital World, but instead aggravates the tears between the Real and Digital World. He was then shocked for what he had done as he then vanishes into an explosion of bright light.
Memories of every atrocity, misdeed and cold-hearted action committed by Kurata himself remain. Despite his downfall, he leaves behind a foul legacy of sorts that haunts everything for the remainder of the series. Because of his ruthless Digimon genocide, Spencer suffers, as well as sparking the conflict with the Royal Knights and Yggdrasil later on. Ultimately, his reckless handiwork left both the human and Digital World close on the verge of total destruction.
Akihiro's Digivice First White & Purple, Then Purple & White (Burst Mode)
Akihiro's Digisoul
Gizumon Digivolution
Gizumon - Rookie Level
Gizumon are an artificial Digimon 'created' by Akihiro through experimentation, effectively removing the Digimon's heart and turning it into a monster. Gizumon were used for much the same purpose as before, and as 'cannon fodder' against the DATS team. Ten years before the start of the series, Akihiro Kurata used numerous Gizumon to attempt genocide on the Digital World, an act that resulted in the death of Keenan's surrogate mother, Frigimon.
Attack
Gizumon can fire destructive beams of energy from their eyes, the effects of which can cause a Digimon to permanently delete rather than simply regress into a Digi-Egg.

Gizumon-AT - Champion Level
Akihiro developed the Gizumon-AT variety, which were stronger and more durable than the original Gizumon. Its first on-screen activity was to wound SaberLeomon so that he could more easily be stopped by DATS. Kurata then used it against Merukimon, and managed to Digivolve it into Gizumon-XT, allowing it to easily overwhelm Marcus and his comrades. Kurata then used numerous Gizumon-AT and (along with Gizumon-XT) to ravage the Digital World a second time, this time to collect "Digimon Life Energy" for the as yet unknown purpose (later revealed to feed that energy to Belphemon). Curiously, these were all much weaker and less durable than the one that appeared earlier.
Attacks
AT Laser: Releases a red laser from its eyeball. It can dissolve its enemy's composition data.
AT Hacking: Gizmon AT can manipulate the appendages on the sides of their bodies and extend them to strike their enemies. Gizmon AT can manipulate the tentacles on the base of its body and shock its opponents.

Gizumon-XT - Ultimate Level
When encountering Merukimon, Kurata managed to digivolve Gizumon-AT into Gizumon-XT, allowing it to easily overwhelm Marcus and his comrades. However, Merukimon sacrificed himself to damage it, allowing Crowmon to destroy it. Kurata then used numerous Gizumon-XT to ravage the Digital World a second time, this time to collect "Digimon Life Energy" for the as yet unknown purpose (later revealed to feed that energy to Belphemon). Curiously, these were all much weaker and less durable than the one that appeared earlier. This campaign culminated in Kurata using hundreds of Gizumon to merge with a giant lance - the "Gizumon Javelin", which he used to destroy the gigantic, city-carrying Digimon ElDradimon. The Gizumon weren't seen again after Kurata's disappearance.
Attacks
XT-Beams: can fire destructive beams of energy from their eyes, the effects of which can cause a Digimon to permanently delete rather than simply regress into a Digi-Egg.
Gizumon-XT can manipulate the appendages on the sides of their bodies and extend them to strike their enemies.
Gizumon-XT has a secondary attack where it unleashes a destructive energy wave from the upper 'eye' on its body.
Gizumon-XT are also known to carry a sort of beam weapon that functions the same as their eye beams, which can also harvest the 'life energy' of their Digimon victims.

Bio-Hybrids
Bio-Hybrids are three humans under the command of Kurata, with the ability to transform themselves into Digimon. If a human who becomes the Bio Digimon is defeated, he or she do not die, but instead reverts back to both the human that they were and the Digi-Egg of the digimon that they transformed.
Ivan
Ivan is the strong man of the Bio-Hybrid trio consisting of himself, Kouki and Nanami. Ivan seems to have difficulty with holding his inner thoughs, and tends to blurt out what he's thinking without realizing it. After meeting her for the first time, he developed a sort of attraction towards Yoshi (calling her his "honey bun" at one point). After gaining his ability to assume his final form, this prompted him to enrage Rosemon in a duel for Yoshino's love, only for him to be defeated at their hands. In the same episode this battle occured in, it was revealed that Ivan is something of a mercenary, and underwent his transformation into a Bio-Hybrid for the sake of money. It was learned that he also had many brothers and sisters in Russia, and that he was fighting for their sakes. In the last episode, Ivan was also rising his D.N.A. into the sky, together with his brother and sisters.

BioSupinomon is BioStegomon's next stage, based on Spinomon, which Ivan gained after having his body combined with the data of a Mega Digimon. BioSupinomon has armor and rows of detachable spikes on his body. When Kurata gave an upgrade to the Bio-Hybrids, BioSupinomon is born. When Yoshino refused to love Ivan, he transformed into BioSupinomon to fight Rosemon. During the battle, a Yasyamon attacked BioSupinomon, and he cold-heartedly killed Yasyamon by impaling him with his sword. Rosemon was almost weakened by BioSupinomon's Blue Promenice, but finished him off with a Forbidden Temptation, reverting him back to Ivan. Ivan told Yoshino he was working for Kurata to earn money for his family.

Kouki
Kouki is one of the modified humans who Kurate gave the power to become Digimon through Bio-Hybrid Digivolution. He is the practical leader of the Bio-Hybrids, and is a vicious character who enjoys fighting and destruction. He first appeared to defend Akihiro from Keenan and Crowmon. He then appeared before the DATS group, where he clashed fists with Marcus which ignited his D.N.A. - an act that alerted everyone to the fact that he was no mere human. However, both he and his comrades' attacks were halted by Commander Richard Sampson and Kudamon. When he and the Bio-Hybrids met the DATS group again later, they decimated their Digimon, but a sudden surge of energy released by the humans defeated the Bio-Hybrids. When their human partners were being trained to control that power by BanchoLeomon, the Bio Hybrids attacked their defenseless digimon trying to find where their partners were. Eventually however, the human members of DATS got control, Marcus being the first do so and used his new found strength humiliate Kouki, after which the Digimon were able to assume their Mega-forms and easily defeat the Bio-Hybrids.
After their defeat, Kurata informed the Bio-Hybrids that he could infuse them with the power of stronger digimon, but warned that the process could kill them. Although Kouki was the only one interested because of his wounded pride, Kurata infused them all anyways. To his chagrin, Kouki found Kurata holding him back from fighting Marcus until ElDradimon was drawn into the human world. After Kouki fought against Marcus and ShineGreymon. Kouki's initially held the upper-hand due to a combination of his new found strength and because ShineGreymon held back from using his strongest attacks to avoid damaging the city they were fighting, while Kouki had no regard for causing damage and even knocked over a building to attack ShineGreymon. Eventually, however, Marcus has able to call on a new power in the form of the GeoGrey Sword, which ShineGreymon used to easily defeat Kouki, which this time destroyed his digimon half.

Nanami
Nanami is one of the Bio-Hybrids, a trio of modified individuals working for Kurata. After the DATS building was destroyed, she and Ivan chased after Commander Richard Sampson. Later, they fought Miki and Megumi and the two PawnChessmon before facing Marcus and the others along with both of her comrades. She and her fellow Bio-Hybrids subsequently pursued the ex-Data Squad through the Digital World before being defeated by their newfound mega form, ShineGreymon, MirageGaogamon and Rosemon. Subsequently, they pleaded for more power to Kurata and were given a higher form, based on a mega Digimon. She dresses unusually compared to the other characters in the series, carrying an umbrella, and wearing clothing in the style of a Gothic Lolita. Like Thomas, Nanami is also something of a genius herself, and used her intelligence to counter the battle strategies of Thomas after gaining the ability to become BioRotosmon. Her strategies even extended so far as acting as if she were in love with him. However, Nanami was defeated when Thomas used an attack that was reminiscent of Marcus' reckless fighting style. In the last episode, Nanami was also rising her D.N.A. in the sky.

BioRotosmon - Hyper Bio-Hybrid Level
BioRotosmon is BioQuetzalmon's next stage, which she gained after having her body combined with the data of a Mega Digimon. This form is the only Bio-Hybrid Digimon not based on an pre-existent Digimon in the franchise; instead, it is based on the Mega form originally planned for Lilamon, which was dropped in favor of Rosemon. When Kurta gave Nanami more power, BioRotosmon was born. BioRotosmon appeared to destroy the waterfall that fed the lake guarding Eldradimon and the Sacred City. Thomas and MirageGaogamon attempted to stop her, but she outwitted and overpowered each of MirageGaogamon's tactics. Once he was down, she turned her attention to Thomas and tried to seduce him into joining her side, like she had done so before when she was Nanami. Thomas tried to resist her persuasions and illusions, but she would not quit so easily, even spouting out that, by joining together, the two of them could achieve godhood and reign supreme over all. However, Thomas still refused and MirageGaogamon took her on a second time, this time relying on no tactics, but on sheer might and a pointblank-ranged attack. And with that, BioRotosmon fell, laughing madly and then electrocuting with screams of pain. One of the bolts of energy released from her body shot out at her staff, which was wedged into the ground near the waterfall, and the resulting occurance had destroyed the waterfall anyway, which would shortly leave Eldradimon and capital's defenses lowered greatly.BioRotosmon reverted back to Nanami and a digi-egg and, before she passed out, she said that that last move made by MirageGaogamon was the kind of move Marcus would use.

Seven's Fantasia: Fires a rainbow-colored beam from her flower-ended staff.
Serpent Ruin: Fires a dark purple beam from the black serpent on her staff.

King Drasil as Dr. Spencer Damon
King Drasil (True Form)
King Drasil is first mentioned by Merukimon, who, ten years before the start of the series, told of King Drasil's existence to Dr. Spencer Damon , the father of series' protagonist Marcus Damon. Spencer and Merukimon departed, with the former stating that he would seek out King Drasil himself. Years later, it seemed that Spencer had found King Drasil with BanchoLeomon's help. After defeating Craniamon, King Drasil brought up the Server Tree. Unfortunately, Kurata's unprovoked attack sent Spencer to prison to await trial. Spencer pleaded to be given one more chance on his life which King Drasil granted, only to be shocked at the news of Merukimon's deletion at the hands of Gizumon XT. This incident convinced King Drasil that humans are a threat to Digimon, ordering the Royal Knights to seize Spencer. But BanchoLeomon managed to escape with Spencer's soul in his body. But this didn't go unnoticed by King Drasil, who possessed Spencer's body to see through human eyes and warned BanchoLeomon not to tell anyone or he'll destroy Spencer's body. By the time Marcus and his comrades sought King Drasil in order to try and find a solution with him, they are encountered by King Drasil's cohorts, the Royal Knights, and eventually King Drasil himself - in the body of Spencer Damon.
Using Spencer's body, King Drasil ordered the destruction of the Human World in order to save the Digital World, sending his Royal Knights out across the globe to destroy it. Marcus resolved to discover the truth of what his father had become, and embarked on a quest to find King Drasil again. Once he found his "father", Marcus fought him until BanchoLeomon arrived and revealed the story about his link with Spencer before sacrificing his life for ShineGreymon to take out Spencer possessed by King Drasil. But it was in vain as King Drasil assumed a new form, a robotic Digimon, that flew off to the real world. Once there, he easily defeated the Burst Mode Digimon. Upon the Royal Knights arrival, King Drasil saw that even its own devotee's were beginning to doubt its sovereignty as lord, evoking its rage upon them. By the time Marcus and the gang arrived to fight him in the final decisive battle, King Drasil revealed that it was actually the computer which was designed to control all lifeforms in the Digital World at its will. Because of its observations of human-Digimon interaction, it desire to start over and reset the universe and began to turn any Digimon holding up the Digital World back into Digi-eggs. The Royal Knights helped Craniamon keep the Digital World from colliding with the Earth; King Drasil calculated a very small chance of success. But his Knights tell him all beings desire to live, which the simplistic computer couldn't comprehend.
Agumon underwent a pseudo Burst Digivolution, blasting a massive hole in King Drasil. King Drasil's true form, a crystalline figure with a female appearance, shot out of the robotic body and Marcus promptly punched it in the face, shattering it and finally defeating it. Recognizing its defeat and the real power of the combined efforts of Humans and Digimon, King Drasil's last act was to bring Spencer back to life before entering a state of hibernation saying "it would like to see how things turned out". Unfortunately, due to King Drasil's defeat, the Digital World was left leaderless, so the DATS Digimon resolved to return to rebuild the Digital World. Marcus came along and he and Agumon became peacekeepers.
