The Seven Great Demon Lords

The Seven Great Demon Lords, or "Nanadaimaou" in Japanese, are fictional characters in the Digimon franchise. They are seven incredibly powerful evil Digimon, who as a group, are not spoken of in either the Digimon television series or any of the Digimon manga, although many of the members have appeared in both. If they have a collective goal, other than induce destruction in the long run, it is unknown. Some of The Seven Great Demon Lords are said to be Fallen Angel Digimon - to be specific, Daemon is said to be a fallen Seraphimon and Lilithmon a fallen Ophanimon. Each time a member of The Seven Great Demon Lords appeared in the anime or manga, they were a major or final boss. Each of the Seven Great Demon Lords also represents one of the Seven Deadly Sins, which represent the vile aspects of human nature, which is a counterpoint to the seven crests of the DigiDestined that represent pure aspects.

Members

The names are derived from names demons or other figures from Christian and Jewish mythology: Satan, Beelzebub, Lucifer, Lilith, Barbatos, Leviathan, and Belphegor meaning that the main members are:
