Digimon (Digital Monsters) are fictional creatures made by Bandai in 1997. These creatures live in a digital world, which is a parallel universe, however it is seen in the show some Digimon are able to slip into the real world. In each season new kids get digivices which enables them to enter the digital world. These kids are called "DigiDestined" and they recieve one Digimon partner (though some are seen with more later on). Digimon are shown to be intellegent as they can speak english language fluently. It's believed that Tyrannomon was the first Digimon created.

There are other Digivolutionary stages that Digimon may have, but in the card game are equated to one of those listed above.
Armor[]
Debuting in Digimon Adventure 02, Armor Digimon are equated to Champions in the card game and most video games, and Ultimates in the Digimon Story games. Digimon can reach this stage using a Digi-Egg (though a different kind than Digimon are born from). There are 9 Armor Digi-Eggs (Courage, Friendship, Love, Sincerity, Knowledge, Reliability, Hope, Light and Kindness), as well as 2 Golden Digi-Eggs (Miracles and Fate).
Hybrid[]
Debuting in Digimon Frontier, Hybrid Digimon are Digimon that humans and Digimon alike can access through use of the Legendary Spirits. There are 10 elements of spirits (Flame, Light, Lightning, Wind, Ice, Water, Steel, Earth, Wood and Darkness), each with human and beast varieties. Human Hybrids are equivalent to Champion Digimon, Beast Hybrids are equivalent to Ultimate Digimon. When two spirits belonging to the same element are used at the same time a Fusion Hybrid is formed and on the same level as Mega Digimon. When five pairs of spirits are used at the same time a Unified Hybrid is born.

There are many Digimon that have no level. The majority of these Digimon were introduced in Digimon Fusion, which abandons the classic Digivolutionary stages in favor of having Digimon fuse together to create new, stronger Digimon.
