Ten Legendary Warriors

The original Ten Legendary Warriors (十闘士), also known as the Ancient Ten Warriors (古代十闘士), were a group of ten Mega-level Ancient Digimon possessing ultimate strength that existed only in the distant past and represent the ten elemental attributes. The group fought to save the ancient Digital World from Lucemon, and in their past crusade against it, only AncientGreymon and AncientGarurumon survived to the end to seal the angel away. Each of them passed on their abilities to various Digimon Types, and their might to the thirty two Variable-attribute Digimon who inherited their Spirits and title.

Their heirs, the modern Ten Legendary Warriors, are divided both into two subgroups defined by their alignment, and into ten subgroups defined by the Ancient Digimon whose legacy they continue. Each of these ten subgroups consists of at least one Human Hybrid-level Digimon and one Beast Hybrid-level Digimon, and sometimes includes the Warrior's Rookie-level form, a half-beast, half-man Digimon produced when their Human forms lose power, their Hybrid-level Fusion-species (融合種), which has inherited all the might of that attribute's original Warriors by combining its Human and Beast Spirits, or additional Human and Beast forms. The Warriors of Flame and Light also each have a Hybrid-level Transcendent-species (超越種), who possess power that has surpassed even the might of the original Ten Legendary Warriors by combining the Spirits of five different attributes together.
