Type: Shaman Digimon
Family(s): Unknown


Mercurimon is the Olympus Twelve who is named after Mercurius (the Latin of Mercury), the Roman Messenger of the Gods. Mercurimon is one of the fastest Digimon, and is rarely seen since it is often rushing across the Digital World. In Digimon Savers, he demonstrates 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] Digimon Savers

Mercurimon is a character in the digimon anime season Digimon Savers. In Digimon Savers, Mercurimon is a powerful ruler of the Digital World who lives in the frozen mountains somewhere in the Digital World. He meet Suguru 10 years ago in the past, believing his words that humans and Digimon can co-exist. But his faith towards humans turned into animosity when a group of humans led by Kurata appeared in the Digital World and begun to delete Digimon. Mercurimon was also the one who raised the human Ikuto Noguchi to hate other humans.

Mercurimon first appeared when he decided to go to the human world after learning that Falcomon had travelled there to find Puwamon. He arrived just in time to save Falcomon from GeoGreymon's Mega Burst attack. After been attacked by Masaru, Mercurimon proceeded to defeat GeoGreymon, Gaogamon and Sunflowmon. He was also able to reverted Biyomon (Puwamon's evolved form) back into a Digi-Egg.

Mercurimon then tempered with Biyomon's Digi-Egg, attempted to 'purge' the human influence from it. He was unsuccessful, and the egg hatched again into Biyomon. Biyomon was now fixated on Chika (Masaru Daimon's sister). Biyomon then Digivolved into Aquilamon and escaped to wreck havoc in the human world. DATS discovered Mercurimon's signal mixed with Biyomon's data, leading DATS to believe that Mercurimon is responsible for breaking down the boundary between the human and Digital Worlds. Masaru and his group was sent off to investigate and put an end to Mercurimon.

Cherrymon reveals that Mercurimon and those working for him entered the Real World via the Digital Gate located within Mercurimon's palace. Although Mercurimon was warned by his minion Gotsumon, he did not regard the DATS members as a threat. Mercurimon easily defeats the DATS digimon, but before he can finish them off, he sees Hiroshi Yushima, another familiar face. Hiroshi and Gawappamon hold Mercurimon at bay while the others escape. 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. This resulted in SaberLeomon deciding to take matter into his own hands, with Gotsumon leaving Mercurimon's side to aid him.

Mercurimon eventually learned the truth of what truly occurred as Kurata used his Gizmon AT to perform a sneak attack on Mercurimon, telling the Digimon that Suguru was a fool to trust Digimon. Gizmon AT became Gizmon XT, and Mercirumon sacrificed his life to damage XT to protect Masaru, Ikuto, & the others with a renewed faith in Suguru's dream. Mercurimon was destroyed in that battle, and so was his Digi-Egg.

  • Spiritual Enchant: Mercurimon can summon apparitions with his knife Azteca.
