Dark Area (Iliad)

The Dark Area (ダークエリア, Dāku Eria), also known as Hell (地獄, Jigoku) and the Underworld (冥界, Meikai), is a jet-black, abyssal "graveyard of deleted data". It is located within one of the many Layers (Dimensions) of the Digital World, with each Digital World having its own Dark Area and every Dark Area being connected to the Cocytus.

The Digital World: Iliad has its own Dark Area, which is governed by Plutomon, a Digimon that wanders the Digital World pursuing criminals or villains who deserve to fall into the realm of the dead. It sometimes takes the form of Cerberumon: Werewolf Mode, a mutation of Cerberumon who resides in the Dark Area and is known as the "Watchdog of Hell". It feared that the data born from "human malice", overflowing on the Internet as text and images, could have an impact on the Digital World, so it mutated into this form in order to prevent an influx of that data.
