Seven Great Demon Lords

The Seven Great Demon Lords, or "Nanadaimaou" in Japanese, are fictional characters in the Digimon franchise. They are seven incredibly powerful evil Digimon, who as a group, are not spoken of in either the Digimon television series or any of the Digimon manga, although many of the members have appeared in both. If they have a collective goal, other than induce destruction in the long run, it is unknown. Some of The Seven Great Demon Lords are said to be Fallen Angel Digimon - to be specific, Daemon is said to be a fallen Seraphimon and Lilithmon a fallen Ophanimon. Each time a member of The Seven Great Demon Lords appeared in the anime or manga, they were a major or final boss. Each of the Seven Great Demon Lords also represents one of the Seven Deadly Sins, which represent the vile aspects of human nature, which is a counterpoint to the seven crests of the DigiDestined that represent pure aspects. Its said that there was supposed to be and eighth demon lord named Hamon, named after the villian who tryed to wipe out the jews in the story of Purim.
