Digimon Sovereigns

The Digimon Sovereigns are a group that feature in Digimon.

History

The Digimon Sovereigns (四聖獣 Shiseijū?, lit. "Four Holy Beasts") were a group of Mega-level Holy Beast Digimon.

The Sovereigns have reigned over and protected the Digital World since the age of myth, and have passed into legend as beings which are extremely difficult to track down.

Due to Lucemon, Huanglongmon was sealed in the deepest, darkest place within the earth. This caused the Sovereigns to lose their rule and struggle for hegemony, but an equilibrium was established that was still maintained.

Overview

In appearance, the Digimon Sovereigns were a group of four Mega-level Holy Beast Digimon. They each represented and ruled over the cardinal points of the compass.

Unlike normal Digimon, the Sovereigns had twelve DigiCores that composed their body whereas others of their kind only had one. These cores floated outside their body where it channelled their immortality and tremendous power.

Chief among their servants were the Deva (デーヴァ Dēva?) that consisted of twelve Ultimate-level Holy Beast Digimon with each Sovereign having three such followers.

Television

• In Digimon Tamers, the Digimon Sovereigns appeared in the setting of the anime television series. The Digimon Sovereigns live on the sixth, deepest plain of the Digital World, along with the Catalyst, or Shining Digivolution. They were some of the first Digimon to reach their highest form, and in an attempt to distance themselves from humans, they ironically took the appearance of the humans' gods. When the D-Reaper begins to re-emerge, the four Sovereigns cannot agree on a strategy. Zhuqiaomon believes that they should use the Shining Digivolution to allow Digimon to digivolve and fight back, while Azulongmon believes that it is the Digimon's ability to grow in strength that brought the D-Reaper out in the first place. He has the DigiGnomes transform the Shining Digivolution into Calumon. With the loss of the power to digivolve, Zhuqiaomon, thinking that the Digimon can instead grow stronger by defeating humanity, send his Deva into the Real World. Soon, his servant Makuramon discovers Calumon and attempts to return him to Zhuqiaomon, causing the Tamers to follow him in an attempt to rescue their friend. Makuramon, however, loses Calumon, and the Tamers find him, but Caturamon recaptures him.
