Spiral

Spiral are Digital Lifeforms that mimic Digimon.

Design
Spirals are tiny fragments of data directed by a Hive Mind. They are colonial organisms that assemble into shapes resembling wireframe models of various species of Digimon in five different colors. Each type is named according to its color and the Digimon species it mimics; "Spiral-10##R" are red and Brave, "Spiral-20##B" are blue and Calm, "Spiral-30##N" are purple and Deft, "Spiral-40##Y" are yellow Tenacious, and "Spiral-50##G" are green and Devoted, with the ## denoting the mimicked species as listed below.

Spirals appear within Digital Points, which usually disappear once the Spirals are defeated. Spirals have the ability to possess Digimon and cause them to go berserk, and can also divert a Digimon's digivolution into a dark digivolution.

They can also open Digital Gates to the Digital World.

Digimon ReArise
Spiral are the data considered unneeded by Digimon that have hatched from a, or have digivolved to the next level, and as such are discarded during the hatching/digivolution process (with the Digimon unaware they are doing this).

They then find themselves as fragments of data which eventually gained sentience from the sheer hatred of being discarded and then travelled to be inside the rifts between the Real and Digital World, and are able to materialize in both as a result. They are then able to combine together into an appearance that mimics Digimon though on rare occasions mimic something else such as a wall.

In the past, when a large amount of Digital Points opened up in the Digital World, bringing a large amount of Spiral with them, the and the  used the power of the Four Holy Beasts DigiCores to open a distortion to attract all the Spiral into the same place so that they could deal with them all at the same time. Once all the Spiral arrived in the same place, they used the distortion to send them all to the Dark Area which was enough to get rid of all the Spiral for a long period of time. However after the Spiral suddenly arrive again they struggled to keep the Digital World safe and the Spiral's arrival had affected the balance of the Digital World, so the Four Holy Beasts go into slumber to restore it and give their Deva subordinates some of their DigiCores to help deal with the problem.

The fragments eventually developed their Hive Mind and quickly concluded that their purpose was to continue consolidating, but eventually grew lonely and resentful with feeling like outsiders to both worlds. They initially attempted to achieve by assembling into shapes resembling Digimon, but were unsatisfied with mere mimicry and ultimately began trying to create a Digimon-like vessel from their own data. On a fluke, one of their attempts resulted in 's DigiEgg. When Herissmon turned out to have his own sense of self, preventing assimilation, the Hive Mind originally discarded him as a failure.

However, they learned that Herissmon had managed to achieve self-actualization on his own, and decided to exploit his Spiral roots to mold him into their vessel. By attacking Herissmon continuously and en masse, they weakened him and forced him to "synchronize" with them, transforming him into and successfully realizing their vessel. Unfortunately, the Hive Mind began panicking when they realized that by forcing Herissmon to assimilate with them, they had in turn been assimilated with Herissmon, and now felt his emotions and sense of self. In pain, they began lashing out wildly at the world around them.

Within Fury Mode, in an attempt to understand and resolve the discordance caused by Herissmon's residual will, the Hive Mind explained their past and his creation to Herissmon.

As the Spiral Hive Mind controls Rasenmon Fury Mode's rampage, Herissmon mind awakens and it tries to talk to Hive Mind, attempting to tell it that there is more than sadness, anger, and despair, that the World is also filled with happiness, and that Herissmon and the Spiral are the same - however the Spiral reject this and tell Herissmon that it is nothing like them, is just a vessel, is an irregularity, and continues the rampage. Herissmon comes to the conclusion that it should also be able to control the Spiral just like how they had been controlling it and digivolves to, , and then. The Hive Mind tell Rasenmon that it will be unable to stop the rampage on its own, however after Rasenmon attacks the Hive Mind it finally manages to get its message across. The Hive Mind stops both Fury Mode and the Spiral's rampage and all the Spiral turn back into fragments, however this also causes Rasenmon to turn into fragments as well. The fragments then form into Pusumon's Digi-Egg.

As Herrismon and the Spiral spend the next few months together resting within Pusumon's Digi-Egg, they inform Herissmon that as result of taking in its data, each Spiral was becoming an individual. They thank Herissmon and encourage it to live on as a Digimon. The Digi-Egg soon hatches into, simultaneously releasing the Spiral.

At some point, in the Dark Area, the Spiral Hive Mind comes across, who tells it all it knows about the Spiral's existence, about the Kernel, and then gives it some of its own power purely due to being bored – causing part of the Hive Mind to get its own sentience which then named itself Spiral Origin (スパイラル・オリジン). Spiral Origin then creates a plan to infiltrate the Kernel so that it could get its revenge against Humans and Digimon.

A new Digital Point opens up after the and  return from their overseas vacation, the first since the Rasenmon incident. The team explores it and finds a Spiral-4004Y, which Pusurimon attempts to question. However, just before it can explain itself, it is over come by a dark aura and is taken over by Spiral Origin who then spawns a large group Spirals, leading the team to reluctantly fight back.

After Spiral Origin's defeat, the Three Archangels return to the Kernel and usher everyone out with the exception of Spiral Origin and Eiji as their data had been altered due to taking control of the Kernel. Due to them doing this, both the Digital World and Real World would reject them, meaning they were now trapped in the Kernel forever though Cherubimon stated they would both be deleted as punishment for their actions once they had regained control of it (though had no clue how long this would take, as the duo had done large amounts of damage to it meaning it could take "all eternity" to fully fix it). After the others leave, Eiji creates a program that allows the Spiral to be reborn as real Digimon – though Spiral Origin itself would still remain trapped in the Kernel forever with Eiji, awaiting the day it would be deleted by the Angels.

The remaining Spiral, now being actual Digimon, are then finally happy with some of them becoming partner Digimon to Humans.

G-Spiral-6097 is a G-Spiral that mimics Imperialdramon Paladin Mode. It is one of the Spiral Guardian.

As the Tamers fight the Guardians, Spiral Origin uses the power of the Kernel and commands it to delete the Digital World, and assumes it had done so. It taunts the Tamers about the fact they had failed and that everyone was dead after had digivolved to  and opened a gate to summon their allies, only for it to fail. As it mocks them, tells it to shut up with the group realizing that meant they had indeed summoned at least one ally to help them.
