Tamer Union

The Tamer Union (テイマーユニオン, Teimā Yunion) is an organization of Tamers who work to maintain order in the Digital World. Founded by DATS, it supports cooperation between humans and Digimon, oversees Tamers' development, and organizes activities through which they can assist the Digital World's inhabitants. Gaia Origin, the self-proclaimed "Guardians of the Digital World", initially refuses to recognize the organization as legitimate, but acknowledges it after being defeated by Koh/Sayo.

Digimon Story

The Tamer Union operates in Digi-Central and helps resolve requests and incidents involving Digimon. Humans are trained and supervised by the Four Holy Beasts, while Digimon are trained by Clavis Angemon.

New Tamers receive guidance on collecting Scan Data, raising Digimon, and using the DigiFarm. Their progress is assessed through a rank system, with each rank assigned an Observer who provides instructions and evaluates their abilities.

Tamer Rank	Observer
Normal	Qinglongmon
Bronze	Xuanwumon
Silver	Baihumon
Gold	Zhuqiaomon
Platinum	Clavis Angemon

Qinglongmon supervises the protagonist's initial development, including the collection of Scan Data needed to obtain another Digimon and establish a DigiFarm. Advancing through the ranks brings further responsibilities and tasks from the other Observers.

The protagonist eventually faces Chronomon to prove the value of the Tamer Union to Alphamon.

Digimon Story: Sunburst & Moonlight

After the events of Digimon Story, the Tamer Union divides into Light Fang and Night Claw, which inhabit the two halves of an island. Light Fang is based in Sunshine CITY and led by Glare and Ofanimon, while Night Claw is based in Darkmoon CITY and led by Julia and Chaos Dukemon. The protagonist belongs to Light Fang in Sunburst or Night Claw in Moonlight.

The two organizations regularly compete in tournaments at the DigiColosseum. They also provide requests through which their members help Digimon and investigate disturbances. Their rivalry becomes entangled with a larger crisis when Grimmon and the Chrono Core threaten both cities and the Digital World.

Ofanimon and Chaos Dukemon were formerly members of Gaia Origin, but left the group to oversee the Tamer Union. Gaia Origin refuses to recognize the Union's legitimacy until Koh/Sayo defeats its members in Transfield. The challenge follows the protagonist's involvement in resolving incidents associated with Chrono Data, and victory earns Gaia Origin's recognition of the organization.

During the post-game quest "The Legendary Tamer", the protagonist represents the Union in a DigiColosseum tournament featuring visitors from other Digital Worlds. The competition culminates in a battle against Kogure Haruhiko, whose defeat grants Legend Tamer rank.

Digimon Story: Lost Evolution

The Tamer Union is described as a destroyed organization. The disappearance of Tamers and the activities of Selector have disrupted its former role in the Digital World.

Kernel claims to be gathering powerful Tamers to oppose Selector and establish a new Tamer Union. It directs Shuu or Kizuna toward the cities of the Grabo Continent, where defeating the local champions allows entry into the World Championship at the DigiColosseum. This apparent effort to organize resistance conceals Kernel's identity as Selector's leader.

The Bandits were originally Union Tamers who developed a Defrag program intended to protect the Digital World. Their actions affected the Ancient Tree, and they became Digimon-like beings that served as prototypes for the Erasers.

Julia and Glare also appear as archived legends during the Legend Tamer examination. Their appearances preserve the figures associated with the Union's leadership in Sunburst and Moonlight.

Digimon Story: Super Xros Wars Blue & Red

Former members of the Tamer Union appear at the DigiColosseum, where Taiki and Xros Heart can challenge them in the DWM Tournament.

Kogure Haruhiko leads Team Chrono in the Bronze Master challenge, Koh leads Team Sunburst in the Silver Master challenge, and Sayo leads Team Moonlight in the Gold Master challenge. Their encounters introduce Taiki to Tamers associated with earlier adventures in the Digital World.

After his defeat, Kogure advises Taiki that what matters is how he obtains his rank and what he does afterwards. Koh regards himself as a challenger, while Sayo recognizes the new generation's use of DigiXros and reminds Taiki of the responsibilities accompanying his advancement.

Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth

The Tamer Union is mentioned by Mikagura Mirei and Sayo. Sayo belongs to Night Claw in another Digital World, linking her background to the organization featured in Sunburst and Moonlight.
