Field
Field 「フィールド」 (Dub: Classification[1]/Family[citation needed])—also referred to as classification 「分類」[1][2]—is a system of categorizing species of Digimon broadly by factors like habitat, Type and ecology.[2] There are twelve different Fields, each with a different environmental, elemental or mythological theme.
Overview[edit]
- See also: Folder Continent Report
The concept of Fields was introduced with the Digimon Pendulum virtual pet line. Each device in the Pendulum line is focused on one Field, so as a result, each device has a distinct, relatively consistent theme to its evolution trees, compared to the random nature of evolution in the original Digital Monster virtual pet line. As the premise of the Digimon Pendulum line is the discovery of the Folder Continent and the new Digimon species that inhabit it in the early stage of research into the Digital World, the premise of Fields is that the system was developed by researchers who sought a unified system for classifying Digimon.[2]
Criteria for Field classification can include:
- Habitat
The type of environmental biome in which members of the Digimon species typically live. Five of the original six Fields are specifically centered on habitats that correspond to the five biomes of the Folder Continent.[2] - Type
Many Fields are primarily composed of Digimon who belong to particular Types.[2] - Ecology
The Digimon's way of life and habits, including how they relate to their environments.[2] - Motivations for behaviour
Moral values and causes held in common by a particular Field. For instance, Virus Busters are defined primarily by their sense of justice and opposition to Virus Digimon, and motivation is the chief distinction between the Nature Spirits and the Jungle Troopers.[3]
Digimon of the same Field are likely to be able to evolve into similar forms or Types.
Fields are a flexible classification system, and there is significant thematic overlap between many of them. It is possible for a single Digimon species to belong to multiple Fields at once, to change Fields,[2] or to belong to no Field at all.
Some Fields are also informally characterized as groups, with specific members, in the Digimon Reference Book and other media.
The Digital World in which the Digimon Xros Loader Toy is set is inspired by the classical portrayal of Folder Continent and its different areas, which happens to explain why several Zones are named after certain Fields.
Iconography[edit]
In the Digital Monster Card Game, Fields are symbolized by a small tile with a two- or three-letter abbreviation, with one large letter in the upper left corner and the other large letter in the lower right corner, sometimes with a third smaller letter immediately next to it. Here, Fields are used to construct and group cards together and a Digimon in its own field gains an advantage. The Digital Monster Card Game Alpha uses Fields in much the same way.
In the Digimon Card Game, Fields are represented as specific Traits that allow for Digimon to evolve into Digimon of the same Field, regardless of other evolution conditions.
Terminology[edit]
Since the Digimon Pendulum line, new Fields have occasionally been introduced. These Fields are sometimes distinguished from the original six by specific descriptions:
- A total of four new Fields were introduced by the original Digital Monster Card Game and its successor, the Digital Monster Card Game Alpha. (One of these Fields, Dragon's Roar, was adapted from the Digimon Pendulum Progress 1.0 virtual pet.) Most of these fields have been identified as new classifications 「新しい分類」 in the context of the history of research into Fields.[2]
- The two Fields belonging to the Digital World: Shambala, introduced in the Digimon Card Game and Digimon Pendulum COLOR, have been referred to as ecosystems 「生態系」 or groups 「勢力」.[4][5]

Nature Spirits[edit]
- See also: Category:Nature Spirits
Digimon who are classified as Nature Spirits typically inhabit areas that are abundant in nature, like verdant lands and deserts.[2] In the Folder Continent, they inhabit a region that is sometimes referred to as the Spiritual Land.[19] Their habitat ranges tend to overlap with those of the Wind Guardians and Jungle Troopers, so members of the three Fields generally all coexist together with only rare skirmishes between them.[2]
The Field is comprised of Digimon in the forms of primitive creatures like animals, insects and dinosaurs,[3] as well as minerals. Because of this, many Nature Spirits have relatively mild temperaments[2] and are uncharacteristically calm despite inhabiting a world that generally values power and survival over all else.[6] Samples taken from Nature Spirits Digimon have revealed that they bear traces of data from Ancient Beatmon and Ancient Volcamon of the Warrior Ten, the ancestors of Insect and Mineral/Ore Digimon species.[20]
Gogmamon is considered the largest of the Nature Spirits Digimon.[21]
Representatives[edit]
Three Digimon have been used as mascots for the Nature Spirits in the packaging for Digimon Pendulum virtual pet releases:
- Triceramon for the Pendulum 1.0 Nature Spirits and its Digimon Pendulum COLOR counterpart
- Tailmon for the Pendulum 1.5 Nature Spirits
- Gogmamon for the Pendulum Z Nature Spirits
Agumon, Gabumon, Tentomon, Palmon, Tailmon, and Meicoomon (all from the Digimon Adventure continuity), as well as Zeromaru (Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01), are included in the Nature Spirits Field in the Digital Monster Card Game. Tsukiyono Ruli and Angoramon of Digimon Ghost Game are also represented as part of the Nature Spirits in the Digimon Card Game. In Digimon Liberator, an NPC uses a Nature Spirits deck featuring [EX7-037 Tlalocmon] as a Level 7 card.
Deep Savers[edit]
- See also: Category:Deep Savers
Digimon who are classified as Deep Savers typically inhabit any of the wide range of environments within the Net Ocean, including the shallows, the ocean's surface, and the deep seas;[1] on the Folder Continent, they tend to inhabit Savers Bay.[19] Many such species are shaped like aquatic life forms.[1] Digimon who inhabit snowy and icy areas are also usually classified as Deep Savers. The temperaments[1] and physical traits of Deep Savers Digimon vary greatly between these environments, and Digimon who inhabit the rough seas have been observed to be more disposed to violence.[8]
Samples taken from Deep Savers Digimon have revealed that they bear traces of data from Ancient Mermaimon and Ancient Megatheriumon of the Warrior Ten.[20]
Marin Chimairamon is composed entirely of body parts taken from Deep Savers Digimon. It is now considered dangerous and disruptive to the Deep Savers' ecosystem.[22]
Representatives[edit]
Three Digimon have been used as mascots for the Deep Savers in the packaging for Digimon Pendulum virtual pet releases:
- Rukamon for the Pendulum 2.0 Deep Savers and its Digimon Pendulum COLOR counterpart
- Plesiomon for the Pendulum 2.5 Deep Savers
- Marin Chimairamon for the Pendulum Z Deep Savers
In Digimon Adventure, Metal Seadramon of the Dark Masters leads the Deep Savers, of which Anomalocarimon is a prominent servant. Gomamon from Adventure is also included in the Deep Savers in the Digital Monster Card Game. Digimon Ghost Game’s Higashimitarai Kiyoshiro and his Jellymon are associated with the Deep Savers in the Digimon Card Game. In Digimon Liberator, the Deep Savers NPCs use a Deep Savers deck featuring [EX8-029 Aegisdramon] as a Level 7 card.
Nightmare Soldiers[edit]
- See also: Category:Nightmare Soldiers
Digimon who are classified as Nightmare Soldiers are typically associated with the supernatural, including spirits, sorcery, evil, and the powers of darkness. Ghost, Devil, Demon Man and Undead Digimon are often Nightmare Soldiers,[3] and common design motifs among the Field include traditional Halloween monsters like vampires and werewolves, and Japanese yōkai and demons.
Samples taken from Nightmare Soldiers Digimon have revealed that they bear traces of data from Ancient Sphinxmon of the Warrior Ten.[20]
Nightmare Soldiers typically inhabit dark places of their own volition.[3] On the Folder Continent, their region (sometimes called the Nightmare Forest[19]) is a wooded region that is shrouded in darkness and permeated with a sinister aura, at the center of which looms a castle[1] whose throne is held by Devimon.[10] The region is a site of perpetual conflict, both over the castle[10] and to expand the Nightmare Soldiers' control over the area.[1]
The Nightmare Soldiers are also sometimes characterized as a dark army,[23] whose forces are continuing to expand to unprecedented levels of power.[10] Murmukusmon holds the title of Count within the ruling class of the Nightmare Soldiers, and commands thirty legions of demons.[24] Beelzebumon is potentially capable of standing at the peak of the Nightmare Soldiers army if it ever cared to do so.[23] DORUguremon has been noted to have the strength to repel an attack from Nightmare Soldiers with a single flap of its wings.[25]
Representatives[edit]
Four Digimon have been used as mascots for the Nightmare Soldiers in the packaging for Digimon Pendulum virtual pet releases:

In Digimon Adventure, the Dark Master Piemon leads the Nightmare Soldiers, which includes Lady Devimon and an army of Evilmon among its members. In Digimon Liberator, Oumi Reina and her partner "Pico-chan" the Pico Devimon are associated with the Nightmare Soldiers. Reina uses the Nightmare Soldiers deck, with [EX8-064 Voltobautamon] acting as the Level 7 card.
Wind Guardians[edit]
- See also: Category:Wind Guardians
The Wind Guardians Field primarily consists of Bird and Plant Digimon. They typically inhabit forest and jungles, as well as the skies.[3] On the Folder Continent, their natural habitats include a jungle[12] and a region that is sometimes called the Guardian Savanna.[19] Their habitat ranges tend to overlap with those of the Nature Spirits and Jungle Troopers, so members of the three Fields generally all coexist together with only rare skirmishes between them.[2] The habitats of the Wind Guardians, especially the Folder Continent jungle,[12] are considered particularly dangerous due to their high number of species with violent temperaments or venomous natures.[1]
Samples taken from Wind Guardian Digimon have revealed that they bear traces of data from Ancient Irismon and Ancient Troiamon of the Warrior Ten.[26]
Representatives[edit]
Three Digimon have been used as mascots for the Wind Guardians in the packaging for Digimon Pendulum virtual pet releases:
- V-dramon for the Pendulum 4.0 Wind Guardians and its Digimon Pendulum COLOR counterpart

In the Digimon Card Game, [EX9-045 Cernumon] acts as the Level 7 for the Wind Guardians.
Metal Empire[edit]
- See also: Category:Metal Empire
Digimon who are classified as Metal Empire are typically, to some extent, mechanical or metallic in nature. This definition encompasses a broad range of Digimon: from Machine Digimon whose bodies are fully mechanized, to Cyborg Digimon who are partially mechanized, to species who simply use metal as armor or weapons.[3]
Metal Empire Digimon typically inhabit industrial and urban environments, such as their stronghold on the Folder Continent: a massive abandoned factory, surrounded by railroad tracks and buildings constructed from garbage.[14] This stronghold is sometimes also simply called the "Metal Empire".[19]
The Metal Empire is also sometimes characterized as some form of organization. Metal Empire Digimon are frequently observed acting in an organized manner,[2] laboring to expand their territory at an astounding pace[1] to the point that they may someday be widespread across Folder.[14] For these reasons, it is suspected that someone or something is commanding them.[1] There are exceptions to this, such as Rebellimon's gang of rogue wheeled Digimon on Folder, who have cut loose from the Metal Empire.[27]
Samples taken from Metal Empire Digimon have revealed that they bear traces of data from Ancient Wisemon of the Warrior Ten.[26]
Representatives[edit]
Six Digimon have been used as mascots for the Metal Empire, as well as other factions that bear its name, in the packaging for various products:
- Metal Greymon for the Pendulum 5.0 Metal Empire and its Digimon Pendulum COLOR counterpart
- Cyberdramon for the Pendulum 5.5 Metal Empire
- Saint Galgomon and Black Saint Galgomon for the "Neo Metal Empire" theme deck in the Digital Monster Card Game's Ultimate Battle Deck 3 set

[EX12-060 Chaosdramon] and [EX12-037 Omegamon] both act as Level 7 cards for the Metal Empire in the Digimon Card Game.
Virus Busters[edit]
- See also: Category:Virus Busters
Contrary to other Fields, Digimon classified as Virus Busters have no particular habitats or physiological features in common. Instead, they are classified on the basis of their shared mission and virtues: they are Digimon who are opposed to Virus-Attribute Digimon.[2] As such, the Virus Busters are also often characterized as a group or organization.[28]
Specifically, Virus Busters are Digimon who possess the necessary power to eradicate the consciousness of "evil" that resides most commonly within Virus Digimon, but can even be found within some Vaccine Digimon.[28] The Field encompasses a highly diverse range of Digimon, including Digimon who possess holy powers, Digimon who protect archaeological ruins,[1] Digimon who possess a strong sense of justice,[3] and those who may have virtually any other motivation or drive to hunt Virus Digimon.[16] The Three Archangels and the Royal Knights are also Virus Busters of exceptional power.[29]
However, not all Digimon who hunt Virus Digimon belong to the Field. For instance, Cyberdramon is independent and unaffiliated with the Virus Busters.[30]
Although strongly associated with the Vaccine Attribute, classification as/membership in the Virus Busters is not exclusive to Vaccine Digimon. Even Virus Digimon can be Virus Busters, most notably Dukemon and Lord Knightmon by virtue of their status as Royal Knights.[29]
Samples taken from Virus Buster Digimon have revealed that they bear traces of data from Ancient Greymon and Ancient Garurumon of the Warrior Ten.[26]
Despite generally not being associated with an environmental habitat, it has been suggested that the ancient ruins found on the Folder Continent may be connected to the Virus Busters, as they are protected by the heavy fog produced by Baluchimon's Cloud Vision,[31] and Angel Digimon have been observed in their vicinity as if using them as relay points in their patrols of Folder.[16]
Some Digimon actively oppose the Virus Busters, or are used by forces who oppose them. For example, Guardromon (under the control of a malicious virus) has been used by hackers to guard themselves against the Virus Busters;[32] and Imperialdramon: Fighter Mode (Black) prefers to specifically target Virus Buster Digimon for elimination.[33]
Representatives[edit]
Five Digimon have been used as mascots for the Virus Busters in the packaging for various products:
- Holy Angemon for the Pendulum ZERO Virus Busters and its Digimon Pendulum COLOR counterpart
- Omegamon and Imperialdramon: Dragon Mode for the "Neo Virus Busters" theme deck in the Digital Monster Card Game's Ultimate Battle Deck 1 set (although this set's release predated the introduction of the Virus Busters into the Digital Monster Card Game)
- Dukemon for the Digimon Pendulum Ver.20th
- Manticoremon for the Pendulum Z Virus Busters
The following Digimon are explicitly cited as Virus Busters, or as related to them, by the Digimon Reference Book:
- War Greymon[34][35]
- Metal Garurumon[35]
- Siriusmon[36]
- Revolmon[28]
- Plotmon (will someday awaken to its mission as one)[37]
- Strikedramon (aspiring)[38]
Protagonist Digimon from the various Digimon anime and manga series are also often classified as Virus Busters. Agumon and Gabumon from the Digimon Adventure continuity (as their fused form, Omegamon), as well as Zeromaru from Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01, are included in the Virus Busters in the Digital Monster Card Game. Amanokawa Hiro, Gammamon, and Gulus Gammamon from Digimon Ghost Game are represented as Virus Busters in the Digimon Card Game. [EX12-077 Proximamon] and [EX12-037 Omegamon] are the Level 7 cards associated with the Virus Busters.
Dragon's Roar[edit]
- See also: Category:Dragon's Roar
Digimon who are classified as Dragon's Roar typically have draconic data in their Digicores. This Field encompasses a broad range of Types, ranging from Dragon to Dinosaur, but its members generally have great power and wild, ferocious temperaments in common.[2]
The Dragon's Roar Field came into existence during a comparatively ancient era. Because of this,[1] its population is low despite the sheer breadth of species that it boasts.[2]
Representatives[edit]
Three Digimon have been used as mascots for the Dragon's Roar in various products:
- Chaosdramon for the Pendulum Progress 1.0 Dragon's Roar
- Coronamon/Apollomon for the Digital Monster Card Game Alpha Sunburst set (despite their non-draconic nature)
Jungle Troopers[edit]
- See also: Category:Jungle Troopers
Digimon who are classified as Jungle Troopers primarily inhabit woodland regions. The Field is largely comprised of Insect and Plant Digimon.[2] The bodies of Jungle Trooper species have evolved to adapt to their environments, and it is said that they are sensitive to environmental changes.[1]
The Jungle Troopers' habitat ranges tend to overlap with those of the Wind Guardians and Nature Spirits, so members of the three Fields generally all coexist together with only rare skirmishes between them.[2] Jungle Troopers are distinguished from the Nature Spirits on the basis of their differing sense of purpose: the Jungle Troopers aim to protect the environment of the Digital World.[3]
Saiyu Warriors[edit]
- See also: Category:Saiyu Warriors
The Saiyu Warriors "ecosystem"[5] Field is specific to the Digital World: Shambala. It is comprised of Digimon who inhabit or are associated with the Genshi Continent. Its members include the Saneiketsu trio of the Tentei Hachibushu, as well as the leader of the Tentei Hachibushu, Shakamon.
Many Saiyu Warriors Digimon are based on entities from Chinese mythology and literature, most prominently Journey to the West. The Field itself also takes its name from the Japanese title of Journey to the West, 「西遊記 Saiyūki」.
Digimon associated with Journey to the West are also identified as "Saiyu Warriors - Journey to the West motif" Digimon 「サイユウウォリアーズ ~西遊記モチーフ~」.[5] In Digimon Collectors, years prior to the introduction of Digital World: Shambala, cards of these Digimon, like Gokuwmon and Sanzomon, were grouped under the name "Road to India" 「天竺への道」.
Representatives[edit]
Seiten Gokuwmon was the mascot for the Saiyu Warriors on the packaging of the Pendulum COLOR 6 Saiyu Warriors. It has been described as a Digimon truly worthy of the "Saiyu Warriors" name.[39]
The Digimon Story: Time Stranger incarnation of Susanoomon is identified with the Saiyu Warriors as a Level 7 Digimon card in the Digimon Card Game.[40] Similarly, the Time Stranger incarnation of Kunlun, the Host Computer of Shambala, is identified as a Saiyu Warriors trait Tamer card.[41]
Toho Braves[edit]
- See also: Category:Toho Braves
The Toho Braves "ecosystem"[5] Field is specific to the Digital World: Shambala. It is comprised of Digimon who inhabit or are associated with Ashino Island and Yomi. Its members include the Sanmyojin trio of the Tentei Hachibushu, the protectors of Ashino Island, as well as fellow Tentei Hachibushu member Enmamon.
Many Toho Braves Digimon are based on entities from Japanese mythology and folklore, including deities and yōkai.
Representatives[edit]
Amaterasumon was the mascot for the Toho Braves on the packaging of the Pendulum COLOR 7 Toho Braves. It has been described as a Digimon truly worthy of the "Toho Braves" name.[42]

Unknown[edit]
- See also: Category:Unknown
The Unknown Field is reserved for Digimon of uncertain origin, and for those who are not easily classifiable into any other Fields on the basis of habitat or Type.[2] Mutation Digimon are often classified as Unknown.[3]
Digimon who are classified as Unknown are thought to be born as a result of mutations induced by errors in the copying of genetic data at the time of evolution.[2] Such defects are attributed to the intake of data while under stress,[1] such as while experiencing extreme environmental changes or poor rearing conditions.[2]
Representatives[edit]
Meicoomon from Digimon Adventure tri., as well as its evolution Meicrackmon: Vicious Mode, is included in the Unknown Field in the Digital Monster Card Game.

Pinochimon leads the Wind Guardians, Mugendramon the Metal Empire, and Piemon the Nightmare Soldiers. Metal Seadramon's army is the Deep Savers[46], though it is never stated on-screen. In every case, the Field assigned to each Dark Master is the one equivalent to the Digimon Pendulum they debuted in.
Manga[edit]
Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01[edit]
The V-Tamer Tags are named after the original five Fields (Nature Spirits, Deep Savers, Metal Empire, Nightmare Soldiers, Wind Guardians).

Digital Monster Card Game[edit]
The Unknown and Dark Area Fields were first introduced in this game. Despite featuring products themed after Dragon's Roar, it was never used as a Field here.
Carddass Digimon Adventure[edit]
Cards of the Fields that serve as the armies of the Dark Masters were released in Part 3 - Decisive Battle!! Showdown in Tokyo Arc. In terms of numbering, they immediately follow the Dark Master who leads them. Each have explanations of what type of Digimon form part of said armies.
- Deep Savers: 103. "The Digimon army led by Metal Seadramon, which has the entire stretch of sea under their control. It is a gathering of Digimon who specialise in making use of the sea as their battlefield, and each Digimon excels in carrying out pursuit and ambushes!"
- Wind Guardians: 106: "This Digimon army is filled with peculiar members and led by their boss, Pinochimon; however, loyalty among its members is low due to Pinochimon's selfish ways. Pinochimon's mansion, which towers over the forest, serves as their base of activities."
- Metal Empire: 113: "An army of dark Digimon led by Mugendramon. This powerful mechanised army has several species of Dark Dragon Digimon among its members, and has claimed ruins and factorial areas as their territory!"
- Nightmare Soldiers: 117: "An army of dark Digimon led by Piemon, further details about them are unknown. The Dark Masters and other dark Digimon lie in wait within their hideout, towering over Spiral Mountain's summit!"
Digital Monster Card Game Alpha[edit]
The Card Game Alpha used Dragon's Roar as a Field for the first time, as well as introduced the Jungle Troopers as a Field.

The various Fields exist as traits in the Digimon Card Game. All of them are given to Digimon that were part of said field in their equivalent Digimon Pendulum COLORs, as well as to a few Digimon from the same fields in the equivalent Digimon Pendulum Z and Z II devices. Certain Digimon that can be found in more than one Field, that is on multiple Pendulum COLOR devices, feature all those traits on cards (i.e. [EX12-042 Tailmon] features the Nature Spirits and Virus Busters traits). [EX12-076 Susanoomon] is a rare case of a Digimon given these Field traits without appearing on a corresponding Pendulum device, as this Susanoomon represents the Digimon Story: Time Stranger incarnation and features the Saiyu Warriors, Toho Braves, and Time Stranger (TS) traits.
Field traits are also given to Tamers related to these Digimon, as well as to cards of the Fields themselves.
- Nature Spirits was introduced in EX-07 Digimon Liberator.
- Deep Savers and Nightmare Soldiers were introduced in EX-08 Chain of Liberation.
- Wind Guardians was introduced in BT-21 World Convergence, the only trait to be introduced in a Booster instead of an Extra Booster.
- Metal Empire, Virus Busters, as well as Saiyu Warriors and Toho Braves, were all introduced in EX-12 Digital World Shambala.
Despite featuring a product themed after the Pendulum Progress 1.0 Dragon's Roar, there is no corresponding trait for this Field used by this game.
