Celestial Digimon

The Celestial Digimon are a fictional group that appear in the Digimon media franchise. The group consists of three Mega level Angel digimon - Ophanimon, Seraphimon and Cherubimon.

Digimon Frontier
In Digimon Frontier, the three Celestial Digimon were the ones who took up the task of keeping the Digital World safe after Lucemon was defeated by the Ten Legendary Warriors. However, Cherubimon, corrupted by Lucemon, believed that Ophanimon and Seraphimon were plotting against him, so he led his followers against them. Seraphimon was defeated by Cherubimon after being taken by surprise, and Ophanimon surrendered. They were both sealed away, Seraphimon in the ceiling of his castle at the Forest Terminal, and Ophanimon in a cage of light in the Rose Morning Star.

When the human Digidestined, called by Ophanimon, arrived at the Digital World, Cherubimon sent his servants to confront them, in the hopes of taking their spirits. Meanwhile, Ophanimon had contacted the Digidestined and sent them to the Forest Terminal, where Seraphimon was being held. However, Cherubimon's servants, Mercurymon, Ranamon, Arbormon and Grumblemon, found them just as the children had managed to free Seraphimon. In his weakened state Seraphimon was defeated by Mercurymon, but the Digidestined managed to escape with his egg.

Ophanimon then called the children to the Rose Morning Star. Having defeated Cherubimon's servants, and with the addition of Koichi, the children arrived at the Rose Morning Star to confront Cherubimon. In the following battle, Cherubimon managed to steal their digivices, but not before Ophanimon was freed. She then tried to purify Cherubimon, but the darkness that had corrupted him was too strong, and she was forced to steal back the D-tectors and give them back to the children. She was also able to grant them the ability of Unified Spirit Evolution, but was then defeated by Cherubimon. With their new power, the children were able to defeat Cherubimon and purify him.

The Celestial Digimon were not seen again until Patamon, hatched from Seraphimon's egg, discovered the Digieggs of both Ophanimon and Cherubimon (on the Ophanimoon). Their newly hatched forms played a minor role in the eventual defeat of Lucemon.
