Digimon Tamers, produced by Toei Animation and written by Chiaki J. Konaka as the third series in the Digimon franchise, is centered on the Digimon Tamers, a group of children partnered with a wild Digimon. The characters were designed by Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru and was based on the concept of "a normal elementary school student has a great adventure over the span of a year."[1] Producer Hiromi Seki had wanted the three main characters to be of mixed genders and consist of an immigrant or someone not raised in Japan.[2][3]
Monster Makers
The Monster Makers (Wild Bunch) are the creators of the original Digimon program in 1984 as students of Palo Alto University. In 2001, Yamaki recruited them. They create the Ark for the children to leave the Digital World, and help them combat the D-Reaper. One of their greatest creations proved to be the entity known as Grani. Among the members include:

Digimon Sovereigns
The Digimon Sovereigns (四聖獣, Shiseijū) are four powerful Mega-level Digimon who each rule a quarter of the Digital World, each possessing twelve DigiCores. They all dwell on the sixth, highest plain of the Digital World, said to be the first Digimon to reach their highest form and modeled after four symbols. However, when the D-Reaper emerged after years of hibernation, the Sovereigns fell into disarray over the usage of the Catalyst of Shining Digivolution to digivolve every Digimon to fight back against the threat. But knowing that their ability to digivolve is what's causing the D-Reaper to stir convinces Azulongmon to have the DigiGnomes turn the Shining digivolution into Calumon and send him to the human world. Zhuqiaomon declines the decision and sends the Devas to retrieve Calumon. However, Azulongmon convinces Zhuqiaomon to work together. After Ebonwumon and Baihumon join up with their fellow Sovereigns as D-Reaper reacts to Calumon's presence, the Digimon agrees to use his power to give the Sovereigns an army to fight the D-Reaper while he and the Tamers return to their world. In the series finale, the Sovereigns hold the Cable Reaper at bay while MegaGargomon enacts Operation Doodlebug.

But upon learning that Azulongmon sent the Catalyst to the human world in the form of Calumon, Zhuqiaomon sends the twelve Devas to retrieve Calumon and prevent any humans from using him. Zhuqiaomon eventually confronts the Tamers when they arrived to his palace after braving through Digital World, Azulongmon intervening as he and the Tamers convince him that they are not his enemies. Despite his prejudice against humans, Zhuqiaomon joins his fellow Sovereigns in helping the Tamer defeat the D-Reaper by keeping it and its human world counterpart from rejoining.

Other Entities
D-Reaper
Voiced by: Yoko Asada (Japanese); Bridget Hoffman (English)
The D-Reaper (デ・リーパー, D-Rīpā), also known as the "True Enemy", is an evil and negative digital lifeform that evolved from the Reaper program that was created in the late 1970s. It would be revealed in side materials that the Reaper was based from the self-defense program utilized by the SIGINT system known as "ECHELON" and was allegedly created to delete the "Creeper" virus that infected ARPANET.[22] The program continues to act on its programing throughout the 1980s to wipe out virtual lifeforms like the ones produced in the Artificial Life research project "Tierra" whenever its target had multiplied beyond a certain amount of memory. The D-Reaper ended up in the rapidly developing Digital World as a pinkish-red grey goo, predating the Digimon and DigiGnomes it would prey on while resetting the Digital World due to its very small Random Access Memory size at the time. But the exponential growth of the network forced the D-Reaper to enter a dormant state within the Net recesses at below the lowest of the Digital World due to its threshold being unchanged, allowing the Digital World to develop pass its Cambrian-like state.[23]
By the 2000s, the network's expansion enabled and allowed a huge influx of data into the Digital World, which the Digimon used to digivolve and change. Despite their system now large enough to handle this load, Azulongmon feared it might awaken the D-Reaper and enlists the DigiGnomes to transform the "Catalyst" program into Calumon and send the Digimon into the human world. But D-Reaper awakened as the Sovereign Digimon attempted to find solutions to stop the D-Reaper before it overwhelms them, Zhuqiaomon sending the Devas to retrieve Calumon to amass an army despite Azulongmon seeing it would complicate matters further.[23][22]
When the Tamers arrived to the Digital World and fought their way to Zhuqiaomon, the D-Reaper secretly captures Jeri and replaced her with the first of its "ADR's" or "Agents of the D-Reaper", extensions of the D-Reaper's will created from the assimilated data of those it had consumed in the past. Developing an interest in its creators and adding it into its perimeters, the D-Reaper uses Hynpos's system to manifest its main body, holding its Kernel Sphere which Jeri was being held captive in, into the human world. The D-Reaper then turned the Shinjiku Metropolitan Building into its base of operations while converting the surrounding area into the D-Reaper Zone. Other than its Jeri-Type Agent, the D-Reaper creates more ADRs as drone units that function as extensions of the D-Reaper's conscious to study human behavior while expanding its territory. Unlike the Jeri-Type, the succeeding ADRs operate outside the D-Reaper Zone by a red life line, similar in function to umbilical cords. When these cords are severed, the Agent becomes much weaker and easier to defeat, and weaker Agents will dissipate completely. The D-Reaper mass-produces a new type of ADR until the model becomes obsolete, each ADR numbered while given a codenames based on their appearance and function.[24] The general design aesthetic of the D-Reaper was that of a "Digital creature", exemplified in such details as the jigsaw-like fringes of the Agents, and the optic fiber/telephone wire construction of the Reaper and Mother D-Reaper. Konaka remarked that he was especially fascinated by details like the wings on ADR-02.[24] Aramaki designed the "D-Reaper Zone" which appeared on Earth.[25]
- ADR-01: Jeri-Type (ADR-01: 樹莉タイプ, ADR-01: Juri Taipu): A spy agent who disguises herself as Jeri, when she suffers with depression, in order to analyze human thoughts. It starts out identical in form to Jeri, lacking the life line of succeeding ADR models, but later transforms into a taller demonic parody of the original. In the end, Jeri-Type was absorbed back into the D-Reaper to serve as Mother D-Reaper's first and last line of defense as both an enlarged face and a giant faceless version of her previous form, she is killed by Gallantmon Crimson Mode. Jeri-Type was designed by Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru.[24]
- ADR-02: Searcher (ADR-02: サーチャー, ADR-02: Sāchā): An Intelligence Gathering Agent, having no offensive capability but usually appears in large swarms. It was designed by Kenji Watanabe.[24]
- ADR-03: Pendulum Feet (ADR-03: ペンデュラムフィート, ADR-03:Pendyuramu Fīto): An Antiaircraft Attack Agent. It is the first offensive Agent created by the D-Reaper, and uses its floating extensions to perform remote strikes. It was designed by Kenji Watanabe.[24]
- ADR-04: Bubbles (ADR-04: バブルス, ADR-04: Baburusu): A Ground Combat Agent that appears in swarms, but it is able to use the wave motion guns on its arms to attack. It was designed by Shinji Aramaki.[24]
- ADR-05: Creep Hands (ADR-05: クリープハンズ, ADR-05: Kurīpu Hanzu): A Grappling Agent. It is a medium-sized offensive unit, which uses its spiral-shaped, stretchable arms for locomotion and hand-to-hand combat. It was designed by Shinji Aramaki.[24]
- ADR-06: Horn Striker (ADR-06: ホーンストライカー, ADR-06: Hōn Sutoraikā): A Military Commander Agent, a medium-sized combat unit of overwhelming power. It was designed by Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru.[24]
- ADR-07: Paratice Head (ADR-07: パラティスヘッド, ADR-07: Paratisu Heddo): Its name mis-transliteration of Palate due to being covered with mouths that all speak in Jeri's voice, it is a Reconnaissance in force Agent that is functions like a video game's mid-boss. It was designed by Kenji Watanabe.[24]
- ADR-08: Optimizer (ADR-08: オプティナイザー, ADR-08: Oputinaizā): A Mother Ship Agent that holds Bubbles-type ADRs in its body, functioning like a video game's mid-boss. It was designed by Kenji Watanabe, who focused the design on a huge size.[24]
- ADR-09: Gatekeeper (ADR-09 ゲートキーパー, ADR-09: Gētokīpā): Also known as the "D-Reaper Ball", is a Base Defense Agent. It is formed to protect the Kernel Sphere, later forming the face of the D-Reaper Mother. It was designed by Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru.[24]
Eventually, the D-Reaper reabsorbs all agents while using Jeri's emotions to transform into the Mother D-Reaper (マザー デ・リーパー, Mazā D-Rīpā), an Ability Synthesis Agent whose body is made up of countless cords, optic fibers, and electrical and telephone wires. As a result, the D-Reaper consumed all of Shinjuku. It was designed by Kenji Watanabe.[24] From this point, in order to complete its control over both worlds, the Mother D-Reaper opens a portal in the Digital World as it is now mostly consumed by its other self. The Digital World's D-Reaper underwent a similar evolution into the Reaper (リーパー, Rīpā) Ability Synthesis Agent, possessing the offensive powers of the Agents that compose it. It was designed by Kenji Watanabe and Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru, who gave it scythes to symbolize that it is a physical manifestation of death.[24] From there, the Mother D-Reaper waits for the Cable Reaper so they can merge and commence the systematic termination of both humans and Digimon. But the Sovereigns hold the Cable Reaper at bay while Takato rescues Jeri before the Tamers proceed with Operation Doodle Bug, using the D-Reaper's portal as an epicenter for Juggernaut to suck in both halves of the D-Reaper and regressed it back into a harmless program. In the English dub, Janyu mentioned that it disappeared forever.
DigiGnomes
A group of digital creatures evolved from the same data like Digimon with the power of wishes. They were created in 1980, making them the first artificial digital creatures. They appeared when the D-Reaper attacked the Digital World in 1990. In 200X when the D-Reaper was slowly resurfacing, Azulongmon had the DigiGnomes transform the Shining Digivolution into Calumon, who entered the Real World. The DigiGnomes were also used by Shibumi to make Blue Cards for the Tamers. When Calumon was captured, the DigiGnomes freed him. Rika and Renamon were the first Tamer team to encounter the DigiGnomes. Takato and Henry meet them in Shibumi's library. The DigiGnomes also appeared when Suzie Wong meets Antylamon. Takato later saw the DigiGnomes flying towards Zhuqiaomon's castle. When the D-Reaper was growing in power, some DigiGnomes sacrificed their lives to release the Shining Digivolution throughout the Digital World, causing all Digimon to Digivolve to their Mega Forms. A DigiGnome later placed MarineAngemon in Kenta's pocket without anyone noticing. Later on during the battle against the D-Reaper, Ai and Mako received a purple D-Power from out of nowhere as a DigiGnome flew over a bus. With the D-Reaper gone, the Tamers' Digimon return to the Digital World, but the portal appears in the tunnel.
Shining Army
Calumon's Shining Digivolution. It allows some Digimon to digivolve and rendezvous with the Sovereigns.
Ark/Grani
Voiced by: Masami Kikuchi (Japanese); Dave Mallow (English)
The Ark was originally devised by the Monster Makers to extract the tamers from the Digital World, as any portals that had opened in the aftermath of Vikaralamon's rampage had closed before or shortly after the Tamers set out. It was created using the same artificial intelligence program designed for the Digimon. Once it was prepared, it was sent into the Digital World where the Tamers arrive, with instructions to wait forty minutes before heading for the Real World. After Takato and his friends arrive to board the Ark, they return home. Although the Ark was attacked by the D-Reaper, Takato spoke to it in encouragement, and it threw off the program and completed the journey. When the D-Reaper enters the Real World, the Ark gets trapped and loses power. Some time later, the Ark contacts Yamaki, asking for instructions. The program was still functioning and seemed to have grown sentient, like the Digimon. The Monster Makers thus put it to use as a weapon, creating chrome digizoid plating and armed it with a Yugoth Blaster, rechristening it Grani. It quickly developed an attachment to Gallantmon as a steed. Later, a dying Grani fuses with Takato and Guilmon into Gallantmon Crimson Mode.
Behemoth
Beelzemon's motorcycle, which would possess anyone else who rode it, resulting in the rider becoming destructive and evil. Initially, it appeared to be driven by a MetalKoromon and attacking the Mudfrigimon village. However, Guilmon replaced MetalKoromon as the motorcycle's rider for a brief moment, before Leomon intervenes the motorcycle to save Guilmon. Though the motorcycle remains inactive, Beelzemon wields it until Gallantmon destroys it. It also appeared in "Runaway Locomon".

He proceeds by assuming human form as Ryuji Tamashiro (玉城 隆二, Tamashiro Ryūji), the president of the Okinawan VP Laboratories. He soon becomes famous for his part in marketing the V-Pet, a digital pet that he modified to cause other Digimon to Bio-Emerge and become his servants. Takahito Uehara, the original creator of the V-Pet, detects Mephistomon’s virus and creates a vaccine program which he implants into the original V-Pet, which manifests as Seasarmon. When Mephistomon finds out about the vaccine, he uses his servants to kidnap Takehito and find out the vaccine's location. Mephistomon discards his guise once learning the vaccine is within Seesarmon, taking the Tamers to an apocalyptic dimension modeled after his intentions for the Real World. After the Tamers defeat him as the vaccine program purges the virus, Mephistomon Digivolves into the dark beast Digimon Gulfmon and overpowers the Tamers until Calumon Digivolves their partners to their ultimate forms to destroy Gulfmon with a powerful team attack.
