Dark Masters

The Dark Masters are a fictitious villain group from the first season of animated series Digimon.

Digimon Adventure
Byproducts of the choas Apocalymon had on the Digital World, the Dark Masters were started by Piedmon, with MetalSeadramon, Machinedramon, and Puppetmon joining him when that began their reign terror throughout the Digital World while the DigiDestined were fighting Myotismon. Prior to the events involving the DigiDestined, the Dark Masters defeated the four Soverigns and sealed them away. When the DigiDestined returned to the Digital World, they discovered that the Digital World was warped (due to Apocalymon) and the Dark Masters used some of the land's data to form Spiral Mountain with their base of operations, Piedmon's castle, on top. The Dark Masters outmatch all eight DigiDestined, Chuumon is killed by Piedmon, and Piximon sacrificed his life to get the DigiDestined away from the Dark Masters. The DigiDestined climbed Spiral Mountain, and defeated each of the Dark Masters with some help from their old Digimon friends. The Dark Masters were defeated and the kids had to fight Apocalymon.

Victims of the Dark Masters

 * Chuumon: When Piedmon throwed a dagger at Mimi, because her whining got on his nerves, Chuumon jumped in front, dying a few seconds later in Mimi's hands.


 * Piximon: He saved the DigiDestined after their first defeat by the Dark Masters. In order to hold the Dark Masters of, Piximon decided to fight them. Although his fate is never revealed, it is most likely than he did not survive this encounter.


 * Whamon: After MetalSeadramon held WarGreymon in his jaws, Whamon tackled the Dark Master, allowing WarGreymon to escape. Angrily MetalSeadramon launched his River of Power at Whamon, blasting right through him and killing him.


 * Mushroomon & Blossomon: During his game of hide and seek with TK, Puppetmon asked Mushroomon and Blossomon if they had seen him. They told Puppetmon where TK was hiding, but when Puppetmon couldn't find TK, he thought the two had lied and destroyed them (This scene was cut from the English anime).


 * Cherrymon: The closest thing Puppetmon had to a friend, Cherrymon was destroyed by the Dark Master when he warned him not to underestimate the DigiDestined.


 * RedVeggiemon: After bringing his mansion alive, Puppetmon tried to escape. One of his RedVeggiemon henchmen asked him if he could come with Puppetmon. Puppetmon didn't feel like it and destroyed him.


 * WaruMonzaemon: When Machinedramon heard from WaruMonzaemon that the DigiDestined were still alive, he "rewarded" the bear for not alerting him sooner, thus killing him (In the English anime he just shot of his arm).


 * Numemon: Having just dealt with Angemon, Birdramon, Andromon and Angewomon, Machinedramon was ready to destroy Kari. However hundreds of Kari's worshipping Numemon appeared and attacked him. Not wasting any time, Machinedramon wiped them out in a single attack.
