Mega Digimon

In the Digimon universe, Mega (called Ultimate in the original Japanese) is the highest known level of digivolution. The Mega level follows the Ultimate level of digivolution. In each season of Digimon Anime, only a small number of the protagonist digimon achieves this level. Because of the power of a Mega digimon, this stage is very dificult to reach.

Alternate Mega Levels
Some Mega digimon are far more powerful than others, many of these having digivolved from other Mega Digimon. One example of this is the digimon Omnimon which is made up of two other Mega digimon (WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon) and is more powerful than either of the two component digimon. In spite of this, such digimon are still considered to be Mega level although some fans have speculated as to the existance of a level above Mega that contains digimon such as Omnimon. There is no official support for this theory.

Season One
In the first season, only two of the DigiDestined group's digimon reached the Mega level. This was done through Warp Digivolution. In this process, Agumon and Gabumon digivolved directly from Rookie to Mega level (bypassing both the Champion and Ultimate levels.) Also, several Mega digimon appeared as opponents of the DigiDestined. The Dark Masters
 * WarGreymon (Mega form of Agumon)
 * MetalGarurumon (Mega form of Gabumon)
 * VenomMyotismon (Mega form of Myotismon)
 * MetalEtamon (Mega form of Etamon

The Dark Masters are a group of four mega digimon who conquered the digital world. They never appear outside of their Mega forms.

Season Two
In season two only one of the DigiDestined group's digimon reached the Mega level. This was done through Mega Digivolution after absorbing one of the digicores of Azulongmon. This digimon later changed into a second, more powerful "mode" of its mega form. Also, several Mega digimon appeared as opponents of the DigiDestined.
