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 boss but never the final villain. 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.

He seems to be the main enemy in the Digimon Manga Digimon Next. He is like an old wizard who has a long rod, that he uses to cast magic.

In Digimon Next was Barbamon able to hijack the host computer of the Digital World which lies in the System World. His target is to take over the Digital World and for this goal he has gathered a large army of Digimon (mainly Commandramon and his evolution line) and even a human named Shou together with his partner Peckmon helps him. To take over and reform the Digital World as he wishes he needs the eight "DigiMemories", which Shou should help him gather. He also has a Waspmon, a Mummymon, and the Commandment Strategist Datamon for lackeys and the 3 Commandment Commanders who lead his Commandments.

 Attacks 
 * Pandemonium Lost
 * Death Lure: he uses his magic rod to cast spells.

Beelzemon
Beelzemon is the Mega form of Impmon. His sin is Gluttony and his planet is Venus. Beelzemon's name is derived from Beelzebub, the Hebrew word for Lord of the Flies and a word which is often synonymous with devil. Beelzemon is a minor villain in Digimon Tamers.

Beelzemon appears when Impmon accepts Chatsuramon's offer. With this new power, Impmon is able to Warp Digivolve into his mega form. Renamon was the first he encountered, and recognised him as Impmon. However, the ensuing battle was interrupted by a fierce storm created by the reactivation of the unstable Juggernaut program.

Beelzemon appears again at the entrance to Zhuqiaomon's Red Tower to hinder Takato and his group. During the fight that ensued, Beelzemon impaled Leomon, killing him and loading his data. Takato went into a rage and caused WarGrowlmon to Digivolved into Megidramon. At first, Megidramon seemed to match Beelzemon evenly. However, when Makuramon appeared to berate Beelzemon, he was killed and his data used to increase Beelzemon's strength. This allowed Beelzemon to find off Megidramon and nearly kill Taomon and Rapidmon.

However, Takato and Guilmon where able to Biomerge in time to form Gallantmon for the first time. The newly formed Gallantmon was able to defeat Beelzemon. Beelzemon would have been killed if not for Jeri's request that he be spared.

Beelzemon reflected on the events in his life that led up to this point and leaves, wandering the desert with the image of Jeri haunting his mind. This left him vulnerable to the revenge of Chrysalimon, who siphoned his energy and left behind a beaten and defeated Impmon.

 Attacks 
 * Double Impact: Rapidly fires his two Berenha shotguns.
 * Darkness Claw: Attacks enemies using his claws.

Belphemon Rage Mode
Belphemon represents the sin of Sloth and his planet is Mars. His name and some characteristics are based on the demon Belphegor.

Belphemon Rage Mode which appears when he awakens from Sleep Mode, he is more monstrous-looking, with a more defined body, dark brown fur, larger wings, and a more beastial face. His arms are bound with chains, and his energy aura is wrapped around portions of his body. He seems to have a set of energy claws on both hands.

In events before Digimon Savers began, Akihiro Kurata discovered a temple that contained a Digi-Egg containing the Digimon that would later hatch into Belphemon Sleep Mode. Kurata then began a campaign to revive Belphemon by collecting "Digimon life energy", and thereby conquer both the human world and the Digital World - a task he succeeded at by destroying and collecting the life energy of the massive ElDoradimon.

Believing he had successfully brought Tohma H. Norstein to his cause, Kurata used the "Digimon control device" Tohma had made for him to command Belphemon. But then, during Belphemon's attack, Tohma betrays Kurata, and destroyed the control device, forcing Kurata to make another gambit. He seemingly transformed himself into data, and merged with Belphemon, taking control over the Digimon's body and transforming it into Rage Mode. Soon after, Tohuma came to join the fight, with Masaru Daimon on his way as well. MirageGaogamon faced off against Belphemon only to be stomped on. He would've been finished if Rosemon didn't seize Belphemon's arm. He blocked the attacks shot by Rosemon. He defeated Yatagaramon who reverted back to Falcomon. Through Ikuto Noguchi's rage, Falcomon Digivolved to Ravemon and attacked Belphemon. Belphemon launched an attack at Masaru Daimon and Tohma which is blocked by Ravemon. Soon, Kurata lost control of Belphemon. Masaru's Digi-Egg hatchedand digivolved to Agumon. Once Agumon Digivolves into ShineGreymon, Kurata's face emerges from Belphemon's chest and starts to tear rifts between both worlds. ShineGreymon goes into Burst Mode and destroys Belphemon, with help from Masaru's Digi-Soul going straight through Belphemon's chest.

 * Lampranthus:: Release a powerful wave of infernal flames of his chains, destroying everything in his path. It's said that if a Digimon is destroyed by this attack, his data is sent to the Dark Area.

Daemon
The origins of the malevolent Dark Lord Daemon are shrouded in mystery. It is said he was a high-ranking angel Digimon who attempted to take over the Digital World but was banished to the Dark Area where he became the ruler of all that is evil. His only goal is to dominate the Digital World and exact his revenge by gathering the Demon Digimon and Fallen Angel Digimon. He wears a cloak that hides his true demonic form. His sin is Wrath and is planet is Jupiter. He is based on Satan.

In Digimon Adventure 02 He first made himself known to the DigiDestined after his minion SkullSatamon was destroyed by Imperialdramon Fighter Mode. He demanded that Ken come with him so he could use the Dark Spore's power for his own ends. Arukenimon then appeared with a truckload of 'kidnapped' children and convinced Ken to come with her. Daemon refused to let Yukio Oikawa get away with it and sicked his other 2 minions LadyDevimon and MarineDevimon on his truck. But after his two remaining minions were destroyed by Silphymon and Shakkoumon, respectively, Daemon took matters into his own hands and stopped the truck and demanded Ken be handed over or else. But Daemon had to deal with the entire 02 team and the battle with the villain commenced. Despite everything they could throw at him, Daemon was too powerful to defeat. They decided to open a gate to the Digital World to send Daemon back there, but even while holding off their attacks, Daemon opens a gateway himself, telling them that banishing him to the Digital World was pointless, as he can simply come right back. Ken was forced to use the dark power within him to convert a Digi-Port into a gateway to the Dark Ocean, through which Daemon was cast. Impressed at Ken's power, Daemon did nothing but laugh and vowed to return as the portal closed around him. Apparently, he is one of the forces that is required to maintain the balance of good and evil in the Digital World.

After evolving into this new form Lucemon easily defeated EmperorGreymon and MagnaGarurumon and destroyed the 3 moons of the Digital World. Lucemon then worked on opening a portal to the Human World. The Digidestined confronted him but he easily defeated them. Lucemon then revealed that since he can combine Light and Darkness as one he is unstoppable and tried to kill the Digidestined by using them for his Ultimate Sacrifice attack.
