Digi-Egg (Armor)

Digi-Eggs, known as Digimentals (デジメンタル Dejimentaru) in the Japanese version, are rare and ancient items used in the Digimon Adventure 02 animé series, the Digimon card games, and various video games. In total, there are fifteen Digi-eggs, four of which have never been shown in the animé series or movies, and of those four, only one has been depicted in the card game. They allow digimon to perform an ancient type of digivolution known as Armor Digivolution, Armor Evolution (アーマー進化 Aamaa Shinka) in the Japanese version, which was used more commonly in ancient times in the place of normal digivolution. The Digi-Eggs were rebuilt by Ryo Akiyama and Ken Ichijouji over the course of Digimon Adventure 02: Tag Tamers. The only digimon who use it over are: Veemon, Armadillomon, Hawkmon, Gatomon, Patamon, Wormmon and Terriermon.

In Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01, however, there is another artifact called a Digimental entirely unrelated to those which are used for Armor Digivolution. Instead, this one was much more powerful; it allowed digivolution into the Super Ultimate level.

Most of the digivolutions which occur through this egg have something to do with fire and/or dinosaurs, and they may also have the Crest of Courage somewhere on their body.

The Digimental in Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01 was held by Rei Saiba until her brother, Neo Saiba, took it from her. It was initially depleted of energy, but Neo used the energy released when his Alias III fought Taichi Yagami to fill it with power.

It was used to digivolve Arkadimon from his Mega form to his Super Ultimate one, as well as Zeromaru from UlforceVeedramon to UlforceVeedramon (Super Ultimate).
