Dark Area

The Dark Area (ダークエリア) is a "graveyard of deleted data" full of evil energies, and is the prison in which the most dangerous and evil Digimon are confined. It is located within the Digital World, below the Net Ocean. The center of the Dark Area is the den of demonic Digimon, who are led by the nobility of the Dark Area. Most of the nobility lead legions of the dark army of demons known as the "Nightmare Soldiers", and some can personally channel the realm's evil energies in battle as extremely high-temperature blasts.

Long ago, Lucemon and Daemon led a rebellion of Demon Lord, Demon, and Fallen Angel Digimon against the creator of the Digital World, and were imprisoned in the Dark Area along with many of the other Demon Lord Digimon. Other Angel Digimon who rebel and fall from grace are imprisoned within the Dark Area, where they also become Demon Lord or Fallen Angel Digimon,  and it is said that those who attempt to reach the Golden Land but fail Crowmon's "Threefold Trails" are dispatched to the Dark Area as well. Even the data of Digimon consigned to oblivion by the Seven Great Demon Lords is not reincarnated, but is sent to the center of the Dark Area, where it becomes the flesh and blood of the Demon Lords. <!--other notes: It guards and supervises the Dark Area, constantly surveying that place to which Digimon that were deleted when their life span finished, or when they were defeated in battle, are ultimately transmitted (and are transmitted there despite Fallen Angel Digimon and their like inhabiting it). If the data of these Digimon is evil, it imprisons them within eternal darkness, but if their data is good, it has the ability to reset them back to a. It has power as mighty as to decide the rebirth of a Digimon, and furthermore, it has the role of the Digital World's judge.

It is considered the king of vampire Digimon. It has kept a castle in the Dark Area since ancient times, and it boasts of such power that even the Seven Great Demon Lords cannot interfere with it. It has a gentlemanly demeanor, and because of the "Charm" effect within the voice it exudes, it has tales that can lead any Angel Digimon who comes to subdue it into. It is told that it possesses an undying body, and although it is said that is connected to the details of how the Dark Area came to be within the Digital World, or that it knows the truth of the mysterious evolution, "Death-X", because it's difficult just to struggle your way to the castle, you'd have to say that questioning it about these mysteries would be extremely arduous.

Although it was not originally a species that inhabited the Dark Area, it was driven off by various species of Digimon, and now it lives in the Dark Area. Its body is covered in a special razor material, and although its wickedly-dressed suit is an extreme adaptation, it is thought to be camouflage in order to stay alive in the violent Dark Area.

It inhabits the dark "Evil Forest" that is spread vast across the Dark Area. It always curls up in a treetop and sleeps often. At a glance, it seems like it's harmless, but it is a fully-fledged Demon Digimon, and there have been many injuries reported from it leaping from the treetop and attacking people as soon as they let their guard down.

It is known and feared as the "Many-eyed Demon". As a demon beast that was summoned from the Dark Area by the messenger of darkness, Devimon, there are no other Digimon as evil as it is. Although it is a Dramon-species Digimon, its limbs are unusually developed, so it cuts the opponent to pieces with its elongated arms, and flies about the darkness with its tenacious legs and wings. Its personality is wickedness itself, so it is unmoved by a spirit of compassion. If it glares at them with its four eyes burning in deep crimson, the opponent becomes unable to move, and it will chop up their unresisting body. Also, the tip of its tail is able to open up and take on the shape of a claw, which can skewer the opponent. This Digimon was probably produced by the evil feelings of Hackers who were abusing the Computer Network for their own selfish desires.

Its body is clad in jet-black cloth. Although it was originally a shining Angemon-species Digimon, it became a fallen angel when it was won over to the Dark Side and fell to the Dark Area. As proof of that, the Mark of Evil surfaced dramatically on its chest. It has a fiendish personality, but due to its cunning it is also an extraordinarily creative thinker. It is said that those who have stared into its two eyes, which shine a deep crimson, are mind-controlled and completely dominated by Devimon.

It abhors losing, so it is a coward that torments the weak with pricks, without getting into direct combat. It seems it is credited as being the source of the Dark-species Digimon that inhabit the Dark Area, but there are still many mysteries.
