>>716956718Digimon (ใใธใขใณ, Dejimon), short for Digital Monster (ใใธใฟใซใขใณในใฟใผ, Dejitaru Monsutฤ), are mysterious lifeforms that are the main focus of the eponymous Digimon franchise. The vast majority of Digimon reside within the Digital World, a region of pseudo-cyberspace that was created on the Network, and originated from the Net Ocean, the birthplace of life within the Digital World. There are many different species of Digimon, some of which have their own subspecies, as well as unconfirmed and new generations that have yet to be revealed.
Digimon have been depicted in many different continuities, but some of the settings have differed slightly in each work. That is because interpretations of Digimon differ from creator to creator. For instance, in Digimon Adventure, Digimon are depicted as creatures that have existed from ancient times, and they are half bodies of โSpiritsโ that have bonds with humans. On the other hand, in LCD games Digital Monster and Digimon Tamers, Digimon are distinctive entities that self-evolve, and are seen as AI programs in the Digital World created by humans.
In the setting of Digimon Survive, due to existing without a connection to digital data, Digimon are instead referred to by humans as Kemonogami, while they have no name for themselves. However, a year after the ending of the Moral and Truth routes, their world is sustained through the belief created in the internet to replace their previous religion, thus through digital data, which causes them to be rechristened by Minase Akiharu as Digital Monsters, or Digimon for short, and their previously-unnamed world as the Digital World.
