The Royal Knights

The Royal Knights are a group of thirteen Mega-level Holy Warrior Digimon that are the Digital World's sacred guardians, and are famed among Digimon as guardian deities of the Computer Network. The group was founded by Imperialdramon Paladin Mode, and serves King Drasil. Because the Royal Knights are assigned the highest rank of Network Security, it is absolutely impossible to violate Security in their presence. With the notable exceptions of Gankoomon and Jesmon, the Royal Knights rarely intervene with the Digital World, and tend to work alone when they do show their face; however, based on a certain "Prophecy" handed down from the ancient Digital World, it is said that the Royal Knights will assemble at the time of the Digital World's greatest crisis. King Drasil gathered the Royal Knights in order to manage the world. The group also has a natural rivalry with the Seven Great Demon Lords. The Royal Knights are: Alphamon: Alphamon is said that, to the Holy Knights, it is a being similar to a deterrent force, and as it doesn't appear in normal times, it is also called the "Aloof Hermit" who flutters a blue mantle, and is the Royal Knight assigned to the place called the "Empty Seat". Because it possesses the "Alpha inForce" ability, an ultimate force which, in battle, instantaneously replays the elapsed battle, although Alphamon's attacks are over in just an instant, you can't grasp how many attacks it actually unleashed, and in theory, you can only see the final blow that brought down its opponent. It can deploy a magic circle of DigiCode from its hands to perform offense and defense. It wields the "Divine Sword Grade Alpha".

Craniamon: Craniamon is the one that best understands decorum among the Royal Knights. It is a perfectionist, and competes with the other Royal Knights for the top two mission completion rates for King Drasil's orders. When fighting with an opponent, its policy is always to defeat it with one-on-one combat, and if the opponent is a formidable enemy, its delight is supreme. Craniamon's armor had its code modified by King Drasil, and was changed into Black Digizoid. It has become possible for it to generate its "Duo Solar Spear" and "Omni Shield" from its armor by accessing its data.

Crusadermon: Crusadermon is the monarch who presides over all Knightmon. Even more than to morality, Crusadermon is faithful to what it personally regards as "Justice", and those ends justify their means. If it will bring about lasting peace, Crusadermon will find merit in it, even in regards to "Ruling through Strength". In its entirety, it is uniquely ruthless in the execution of its duties, and it shows no compassion for the weak.

Dynasmon: Dynasmon possesses the powers of the wyvern. It is a unique being among the Royal Knights, in that it serves the lord who embodied its own sense of justice with deep, unquestioning loyalty. For example, for the sake of its own justice, it won't hate its lord even if they are called "Evil". For that reason, it has a strong spirit of chivalry and bushido, with a character that honors devotion, fidelity, and courtesy. With its tenacious, dragon-like power, and dragon armor made from high-purity Chrome Digizoid, it boasts unparalleled strength.

Examon: Examon is a Holy Warrior Digimon. One of the "Royal Knights", it possesses an extraordinary data size, so traditional digital tools were unable to completely render it, and its existence was discovered because it finally became possible to render it with the use of state-of-the-art digital tools. Though it belongs to the Royal Knights, it is simultaneously a being which stands at the top of all Dragon Digimon, and holds the alias of "Dragon Emperor". It possesses the gigantic, sentient wings "Caledfwlch" and the gigantic lance Ambrose. The Caledfwlch is a unique set of wings composed entirely of Chrome Digizoid, and at its own will, it can at times change into wings for flight, or into a shield which defends Examon. The gigantic lance "Ambrose" is loaded with special shells stocked with viruses which possess various effects, so Examon's attacks are quite diverse.

Gallantmon: Gallantmon is a being containing contradictions, as it is called a guardian deity of the Net despite being a Virus attribute, and if by any chance its balance is lost, it is possible for it to become a dangerous being. It pilots the Flying Dragon machine "Grani" as a dragon knight that races across the skies. It is clad in holy armor refined and constructed from 99.9% pure Chrome Digizoid, and its right hand can become the holy lance "Gram", while its left hand can become the holy shield "Aegis". It honors chivalry, and is a loyal vassal towards its lord.

Gankoomon: Gankoomon is a Holy Warrior Digimon. It acceded to the "Royal Knights" because it is a Holy Warrior Digimon. Although it is said to have taken up residence in the southwest edges of the Digital World, it rarely stays in the same place, so it journeys across the Digital World while going around and putting a stop to unusual phenomena and signs of chaos, which it learns from Sistermon Ciel's reports. Unlike the other Royal Knights who rarely show their faces, it actually steps down and acts, it is admired by many Digimon and there are many Digimon it counts as bosom friends. Hinukamuy, who is emerging from Gankoomon's body, is always there for Gankoomon.

Kentarosmon: Kentaurosmon has a bestial silhouette which could be called bizarre, in contrast to the Human forms of most of the other members. Its whole body is clad in an armor of the "Red Digizoid" which boasts great defensive power, so even Mega Digimon are unlikely to be able to easily damage Kentaurosmon. Its six legs possess unsurpassed mobility, such that it is possible for it to instantaneously move at high speeds that its thick build would not suggest. Kentaurosmon acts as a guardian of the super-ancient ruins which sleep below the thick ice of the Digital World's north pole, since it is said that essential program data which concerns the creation of Digimon is sealed within these ruins. It holds the sacred crossbow Muspelheimr in its left hand, and the sacred shield Niflheimr in its right hand.

Leopardmon: Leopardmon is acknowledged even by the other Royal Knights as their foremost strategist. It has the invaluable ability to lead the Royal Knights, who each possess a dogma that they believe in. Its own motto is "Justice equals power". When it goes into personal combat, it changes into "Leopard Mode" and races across the battlefield. It wields the "Sword of Annihilation" beam sword and "Sword of Destruction".

Maganamon: Magnamon armor digivolved through the power of the Digi-Egg of Miracles. It possesses tremendous defensive ability, its offensive power is equivalent to that of a Mega Digimon, or even greater. No matter what kind of predicament those who acquire the power of the Digi-Egg of Miracles fall into, they're able to overcome it through that miraculous power, and as such, it's definitely appropriate to call it a Miracle Item.

Omnimon: Omnimon was fused from the Virus Busters WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon due to the powerful wills of everyone who wished for goodness. It is a Digimon who has combined the special qualities of two bodies, so it is a multitype warrior which can fully demonstrate those abilities, for any given situation. It is equipped with the invincible "Grey Sword" and "Brave Shield Omega" for its WarGreymon-shaped left arm, and the "Garuru Cannon" and missiles for its MetalGarurumon-shaped right arm. As for the mantle on its back, it is automatically deployed when it dodges an opponent's attack, or when it is flying. It possesses the power of "Omega inForce".

UlforceVeedramon: UlforceVeedramon possesses the swiftest speed among the "Royal Knights", and there is no one that can follow its movements. Also, its body is wrapped in holy armor made of the lightest-weight rare metal "Blue Digizoid", which is rare even among Chrome Digizoid, so it can cleave the sky and split the earth. It can extend weapons and a shield from the "V Bracelets" equipped to both of its arms.

Jesmon: Jesmon is a Holy Warrior Digimon. It has trained under Gankoomon since it was just a little Huckmon and assumed its ultimate form, acquiring the title of a "Royal Knight", the highest rank of Network Security. It is endowed with the ability to sense the unusual phenomena and signs of chaos that occur all over the Digital World, and is the first of any of the Royal Knights to come running. It is said that rather than acting independently, it makes a coordinated response with nearby Digimon and the Sistermons, and its operation as a team relies on the others, which is rare even for the Royal Knights, because it doesn't have overconfidence in itself. Jesmon is the thirteenth Digimon considered suitable as a Royal Knight, tempered well by the frequent, rigorous trials of Gankoomon, who noticed the makings of one in the Rookie Digimon "Huckmon" it encountered. Because its "Aus Generics" leaves its physical abilities unbound by the laws of the Digital World, Jesmon can overpower any enemy without taking a single scratch.
