And whileDigimonfans already have their favorite creatures, some Digimon immediately trump others in terms of thedesigndepartment. In turn, certain Digimon just make themselvesiconic in terms of creature design or sheer awesome fashion taste.
Updated on August 10, 2025 by Rhenn Taguiam:WithDigimon Surviveand its 2022 release marking a unique take on the Digimon formula, it’s expected for fans of the Digi-Destined and their digital monsters to look back at the likes of Agumon and pals and see how they fare in terms of visuals in the tactical RPG/visual novel. And considering how there are more than 1,450 Digimon ever released, it makes sense to anticipate that not all of them will make it in Digimon Survive’s Digivolution ladder.
However, for fans of the various Digimon anime,certain designs will just remain iconic in their imagination. Among these are forms exclusive to Digimental Evolution, a fusion-specific form, a Digivolution that oddly resembles a character from JoJo, and a rather “simple” Mega-level Digimon that serves as the poster child of the Digivolution concept.
15GraceNovamon
It’s unsurprising for a Digimon to reach otherworldly heights of power due to their nature as digital creatures, butGraceNovamonperhaps reaches the apex oftrue power in theDigimonfranchisedue to its origins. At its core, GraceNovamon is an Ultimate-Level Galaxy Digimon possessing the Vaccine attribute, created through the fusion of Danamon and Apollomon - practically representing the unity of the sun and the moon.
This resulted in an aesthetic that resembles more of a god-like figure than a combative Digimon. In terms of appearances, GraceNovamon resembles an armored knight of white and gold plating, with red details and blue spherical crystals. Notable to the Digimon is its possession of blade-like legs and large, sharp claws with electrified orb-palms. Perhaps what makes its appearance iconic is its possession of wavy, flaming hair, a set of energy blades that form a circle around its body, and a cape that contains outer space.
14Magnamon
When the likes of XV-Monundergo Digimental Evolutionthrough the Digimental of Miracles, they can becomeMagnamon. Considered an Armor-level Holy Knight Digimon, this Metal-attribute Digimon is said to boast incredible defensive and offensive ability that may put him on par with other Ultimate Digimon. Considered a part of the Royal Knights, Magnamon is designated to be one of the heroes to protect the Digimon World.
Similar to its Armor Evolution companions, Magnamon is notable for its golden armor aesthetic. At its base is a blue-skinned tailed humanoid resembling that of XV-Mon, this time covered in extremely large shoulder plates and skirt-tails that have exhaust fans. Notable in Magnamons appearance is its feet, as it has quarter-circle, gear-like toes resembling that of the Digimental of Miracles.
13Gankoomon
Fans oftheDigimonfranchisewould probably recall how edgy SkullMeramon looks with its flame-skull-chains aesthetic, which makes its Digivolution into Gankoomon quite a surprise. This Mega-level Holy Knight Digimon has the Data Attribute, with his classification as a Virus Buster explaining his rather odd affinity to flames.
What perhaps makes Gankoomon incredibly designed is how “civilian” it seems compared to other Mega-level Digimon. Its nature as a wandering savior is apparent in his aesthetic. At its base, Gankoomon wears an all-black suit with traditional Japanese geta sandals, as well as red gauntlets burning yellow with flames. Aside from its cool mask, Gankoomon also boasts a white cape and from the fires surrounding it lies the afterimage of a winged Digimon, resembling a Stand fromJoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.
12Omnimon
Fusion is acommonly-used concept inDigimonwhen it comes to the Digi-Destined using their will of goodness to save the day. This time around, Virus Busters WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon can combine their energies to create the Royal Knight known asOmnimon. As the name implies, Omnimon is considered the Legendary Warrior, boasting the Vaccine Attribute that makes it capable of eliminating even the toughest of bosses.
Its nature as a savior is apparent in its aesthetic. Aside from boasting an extremely slender body with sleek white armor, Omnimon also has a flowing red cape, as well as thin yellow details in the form of horns and claws on its toes. Perhaps most notable to Omnimon are its arms, which essentially carry the aesthetic of both WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon, with their heads serving as gauntlets.
11WarGreymon
Whereas Agumon is practically themascot of theDigimonfranchise, it’s the Greymon evolutionary tree that serves as the core representation of how expansive the Digivolution concept can become. And when push comes to shove, the little Agumon can becomeWarGreymon, perhaps the epitome of what a humanoid Digimon can look like.

This Mega-level Digimon has the Vaccine Attribute, making WarGreymon capable of dispatching the most dangerous Digimon. What perhaps makes this design so iconic is its classic usage of theDigimonaesthetic combination of metal, tech, and beastly. WarGreymon boasts the core body of a humanoid Greymon, complete with oversized feet that have large claws. Afterwards, the rest of the upper body is covered with gold plating, including gauntlets that end with large claws. Other notable components include red hair, the trademark Greymon grey mask, and the tubes that cover some parts of its limbs.
10Angemon
Angemon makes an indelible mark in the early days ofDigimonthat a Digimon can, in fact, Digivolve into a humanoid. And despite being the Champion-level form of Patamon, Angemon becomes the prime representative of the Angel Digimon genus.
Being the archetypal angel, Angemon boasts six shining wings, gold highlights, and the iconic purple loincloth over a white suit. It possesses the Hand of Fate, capable of striking the opponent with a beam of gold energy. While it evolves into the more striking Angewomon or its Devil counterpart Devimon, it’s Angemon that has the more recognizable appearance.
9Beelzemon

It is leather-clad in black biker clothing - a muscle shirt, a leather jacket that shows his musculature, and various metallic body pads. Aside from its Berenjena handguns, it boasts spike-tipped boots and a purple bird-like mask. Befitting its biker archetype, Beelzemon summons Behemoth, a digital motorcycle.
8Gallantmon

Moreover, the Knight Digimon possesses a Chrome Digizoid holy armor that can withstand most attacks, a Gram lance thatpierces through most armors, and the Aegis shield to protect its comrades from fierce strikes.
Gallantmon boasts one of the best appearances inDigimonmedia. Despite its appearance as the archetypal knight, its white-red-gold motif has its own majesty to behold and marvel. The “holy” nature of Gallantmon is reflected with this minimalist approach, and it can rival the more overcomplicated designs of its peers.
7MirageGaogamon
MirageGaogamon grew a long way from the bipedal boxer motif of its predecessor, Rookie-level Gaomon. This time around, Mega-level Beast Knight not only boasts a knightly appearance, but its Chrome Digizoid armor allows it tomove tremendous speeds. As with its name, MirageGaogamon moves too fast that it leaves afterimages in the form of mirages.

Moreover, it has sharp metal claws that denote its aggressive, close-quarters combat style. Among its wolf-like peers, MirageGaogamon definitely has a more refined appearance.
6Tactimon
Tactimon is a Mega-level Demon Man Digimon, a warrior said to possess remarkable swordsmanship courtesy of the Sword of Storms. According to myth, a star collapses whenever Tactimon draws the sword - and in turn, it always does battle withthe massive swordin its sheath.

As with its swordsmanship motif, Tactimon bears the appearance of a samurai. Its black armor has a recognizable flame design, with its helmet bearing a flame-like crest. Among the darker-aligned Digimon, Tactimon certain boasts a compelling warlord motif that fits its atmosphere.
