The Olympus Twelve (オリンポス十二神 Orinposu Jūnishin?) are a group of 12 Mega level Shaman Digimon[1] modeled after the Roman version of the Twelve Olympians. The group is primarily a facet of the Digimon Card Game, although the Olympus Twelve member Merukimon was a major character in Digimon Data Squad anime[2], and the four then revealed members appeared in the game Digimon World Data Squad.
The Olympus Twelve are guardian deities of the Net possessing ability rivaling that of the Royal Knights, and while they guard the same area, they are seen to have come to follow independent views regarding the occurrence of disasters in the Digital World.[3]
Members
Only six members of this group have been identified thus far.
Apollomon
Apollomon is a God Man Digimon whose name and design are derived from Apollo, the Roman god of the sun. One of the "Olympus Twelve", it conceals a solar-class flame energy. This energy has a terrible ability to smelt all substances, and its almost heartless fervor and pride are barely restrained.[4] Attacks

Dianamon
Dianamon is a God Man Digimon whose name and design are derived from Diana, the Roman goddess of the moon. One of the "Olympus Twelve", it presides over ice and water, and is able to fight even when its surroundings are below absolute zero. Just as the moon has two sides, light and dark, its personality is of a two-sided nature, and its beauty conceals a terrible power.[5] Attacks

MinervamonMinervamon is a God Man Digimon whose name and design are derived from Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom. One of the Olympus Twelve, it is a Digimon god in the shape of a maiden. Though it has an extremely short physique, it possesses superhuman strength it uses to freely wield a huge blade, "Olympia", as large as its own body. It possesses a cheerful personality due to its childlike innocence, but when its emotions become unstable, it gets into a bad mood which causes selfish and willful behavior (question) that others are completely unable to help it cope with.[7] Attacks

NeptunmonNeptunmon is a God Man Digimon whose name and design are derived from Neptune, the Roman god of the sea. One of the Olympus Twelve, it is a Digimon god of the sea which presides over all marine Digimon. Though the Scalemail which covers Neptunemon's body is made of "Chrome Digizoid" converted into the "Blue Digizoid" which excels in agility, it prefers to remove it when possible due to its poor speed in the water. It constructed a castle to reside within, the "Abyss Sanctuary", at the far depths of the sea, so that only those who can withstand the water pressure of the extreme depths may enter.[8] Attacks
