BurningGreymon is a Dark Dragon Digimon and an Ultimate-class Hybrid Digimon. It possesses power over Flame which bears the might of AncientGreymon. This firefighter has skin that can withstand high temperatures and the ability to move even through lava, and snuffs out flames with instant, explosive blazes. It is said that it was born from active volcano research data, and it is thought that it contains an immeasurable, unknown energy. The name of the fire dragon, Vritra, who is considered the nemesis of the thunder god Indra of Indian mythology, is embodied in its ferocious nature. The more heroic its tactics and the more powerful the opponent is, the more it burns with combativeness. It also has a reckless side that doesn't understand retreating, even in a disadvantageous fight. It wields the "Rudriya Darpaṇa" (रुद्रियदर्पण? lit. "Terrifying Mirror") superweapons[9] on both of its arms,[10] and possesses the Fire Wings and Heat Claws.

BurningGreymon is #149 and is a Fire Free Type, Ultimate level Digimon and uses 14 memory. BurningGreymon can de-digivolve to Agunimon, Growlmon, Birdramon, and Meramon, and can digivolve to KaiserGreymon. Its special attack is Corona Blaster and its support skill is Beast Spirit which increases attack by 20% but decreases Speed by 10%. The Beast Spirit of Flame is unobtainable in Cyber Sleuth, so to raise a BurningGreymon, one must first be raised in Hacker's Memory, and then both games must be completed— after which a BurningGreymon can be transferred over to Cyber Sleuth from Hacker's Memory. |

Paraankusha says that where Rudraanyosharaa and abhralinga come into contact, a fierce force called roudree comes into being. Mingling with solar rays it melts everything. 'Sammohana kriyaa kaanda' says: 'By the mixing of roudree and solar rays an evil force called maarikaa is generated, and impelled by the solar electricity, it destroys the enemy planes.'" - ↑ Digimon Reference Book: Vritramon
