Death-X

The Death-X, also known as "The Evolution of Death" (「死の進化」), is an old relic of evolutionary research that artificially increases the survival instinct to its limit, causing a digimon to overcome the very concept of mortality by incorporating other digicores to its own, making the digimon undergo an special type of evolution known as "Death-X-Evolution".

During the first execution of Project Ark in 2003 D.C., Yggdrasill awakened the Death-X from the depths of its storage to effectively erase the digimon it wanted to be deleted. However, the Death-X became "a dangerous program that is not a Digimon: Death-X-mon" (「デジモンではない危険なプログラム：デクスモン」), which only devours digicores as a zombie.

Death-X-mon from Digital Monster X-evolution.

Digital Monster X-evolution

After it had ordered Magnamon of the Royal Knights to captures DORUgamon and bring him to it, Yggdrasill analyzed DORUgamon's data and created Death-X-DORUgoramon from it. From there, Death-X DORUgoramon created hundreds of digitama containing Death-X-DORUguremon. It was later confronted by Alphamon and Omegamon when it was summoned by Yggdrasill. Although Omegamon barely hurt it, Alphamon easily destroyed it with a single attack. It was later revived by Yggdrasill as Death-X-mon to defend it. After their attacks seemed to be innefective, Alphamon realizes how to defeat it and impales both himself and Death-X-mon with his sword, telling Omegamon that it was the only way, because Death-X-mon is his shadow and that if he didn't have his friends, he may have turned out like him.

Manga

Digimon Chronicle

When Omegamon X defeated DORUgoramon it forces him to evolve into Death-X-DORUgoramon. Unable to defeat it, Omegamon X is able to separate the Death-X data from DORUmon, and expelled it from the New Digital World. Yggdrasill retrieved this data and unleashed it into the Skuld Terminal, where it became Death-X-mon. Omegamon X faced Death-X-mon but was unable to defeat it, as Death-X-mon was unaffected by his strongest attack, "All Delete". Eventually, Alphamon and Ouryumon went to the Skuld Terminal to face Death-X-mon. While Ouryumon was killed by Death-X-mon, Alphamon was able to use his data to evolve into Alphamon: Ouryuken and defeats it.

Digimon Seekers

During the final battle against Ryusenji Tomonori, he forced DORUgoramon's life functions to cease until it evolved into Death-X-DORUgoramon. He then controlled it to attack Leon Alexander and Nagasumi Eiji in hopes of devouring both Loogamon and Ryudamon's Digicores as well to manifest the source Digimon (which is heavily implied to be Death-X-mon) and mindlink with it, then use it to destroy the entire world and rule over its remains as a god. His plan was thwarted by Leon and Eiji and DORUmon was reverted back to normal.
