Ten Legendary Warriors

The Ten Legendary Warriors (十闘士) are a group of ten Mega-level Ancient Digimon that existed only in the distant past and represent the ten elemental attributes.

The souls of the Legendary Warriors lay dormant within the Spirits, existing as silent partners to the DigiDestined, but they eventually reveal themselves during the final battle with Lucemon. Having taken on the personalities of the children who wielded their power, the Warriors encourage the DigiDestined, giving them the morale boost they need to evolve into, then eventually dealing the final blow to while in the form of their Human Spirits.
