[edit] Abilities

Being fast, it was said that only the afterimage of Mercurimon is seen most of the time and actually encountering him face to face is difficult. Also, Mercurimon is rarely seen due to the fact that he is often rushing across the Digital World.

In Savers, he shows the ability to launch energy blasts from his fist, and create waves of wind with a simple wave of his hand. He also has command over lightning.

[edit] Attacks

Thousand Fist: Using his speed, he can get close to enemies enough to unleash a super-barrage.
Spiritual Enchant: Using his knife, Azteca, Mercurimon can summon apparitions to him.

[edit] Appearances

[edit] Digimon Savers

Mercurimon is a powerful ruler in the Digital World who lives in the frozen mountains somewhere in the Digital World, and has an animosity towards human beings after what happened 10 Years Ago in the Digital World when a group of humans led by Kurata appeared in the Digital World and they were deleting Digimon, after Mercurimon was promised peace between their two races by Suguru Daimon. He approached Frigimon when she was raising a younger Ikuto Noguchi. He later raised the human Ikuto to hate them as well because of what Kurata's group did to Frigimon, being the only human Mercurimon accepted to live among the Digimon. In his first appearance, he decided to go to the human world after he learned that Falcomon had traveled there to find Puwamon, who had entered the real world in the form of a Digi-Egg. He arrived just in time to save Falcomon from GeoGreymon's Mega Burst attack, and then defeated him, Gaogamon, and Sunflowmon after Masaru attacked him. He reverted Biyomon, who had digivolved from Puwamon, into a Digi-Egg, and returned with Falcomon to the Digital World. Mercurimon then tried to purge the human influence from the Digiegg (which he described as "evil"), but was unsuccessful. The egg hatched into Biyomon, who was now fixated on Chika, Masaru Daimon's sister, and near-mindless. He zapped Biyomon, trying to turn him back into an egg, but instead Biyomon Digivolved into Aquilamon, and escaped. After Aquilamon began to wreck havoc in the human world, DATS would discover Mercurimon's signal mixed with Biyomon's data, leading DATS to believe Mercurimon is responsible for breaking down the boundary between the human and Digital Worlds - forced to send Masaru and the others to investigate and put an end to him.

It was revealed by Cherrymon that Mercurimon and those under him entered the Real World via the Digital Gate located within Mercurimon's palace, Infinity Ice Ridge. Though warned by his minion Gotsumon, Mercurimon doesn't regard the DATS members as a threat seeing their interaction with humans as a mistake that constantly repeats itself. When Masaru and gang did face Mercurimon, he revealed that he knew Sururu Daimon 10 Years Ago whom was looking for Yggdrasil: The God of the Digital World to ask it's permission to take Ikuto back with him and to solve the impending human/Digimon conflict. Also around that time, he recapped to them about the events that happened 10 Years Ago before easily defeating the kids' Digimon. But before he finished them off, he sees Hiroshi Yushima, another familiar face. Hiroshi and Gawappamon hold Mercurimon at bay while the others escaped.

After that, Gotsumon tries to convince Mercurimon that Ikuto is a traitor and that he and the Humans must be destroyed. However, Mercurimon refuses to believe Ikuto actually betrayed him and had no intention to attack the humans. The results allowed SaberLeomon to take matter into his own hands, with Gotsumon leaving Mercurimon to aid him.

When encountered by the DATS group and Kurata's group, it was revealed that he also knew Kurata 10 Years Ago when his group appeared to delete some Digimon. At that time, Mercurimon destroyed some of Kurata's Gizmon and Kurata escaped. After that story, Kurata signaled his Gizmon AT to do a sneak attack on Mercurimon. When it became Gizmon XT, Mercurimon sacrificed his life to damage XT and was destroyed in battle. Thus, his Digi-Egg is destroyed.
