Holy Ring

The Holy Ring (ホーリーリング, Hōrī Ringu^?), also known as the "Spiritual Ring", is a golden ring of varying size and shape that is worn by several Digimon and marks them as Holy-species Digimon. These rings give the Digimon great power relative to their holiness and where they are worn, but if the Digimon loses its holiness, either by falling from grace like Cherubimon (Evil) or by being possessed like Tapirmon in Digimon Frontier, it also loses its Holy Rings. Holy Rings are inscribed with DigiCode which reads デジタルモンスター (デジタルモンスター, Dejitaru Monsutā^?, lit. "Digital Monster").
