The original , also known as the or retaining its original name as Ten Warriors, were a group of ten Mega-level Ancient Digimon possessing ultimate strength that existed only in the distant past and represent the ten elemental attributes. The group fought to save the ancient Digital World from Lucemon, and in their past crusade against it, only AncientGreymon and AncientGarurumon survived to the end to seal the angel away. Each of them passed on their abilities to various Digimon Types, and their might to the thirty-two Variable-attribute Digimon who inherited their Spirits and title.
Their heirs, the modern Ten Legendary Warriors, are divided both into two subgroups defined by their alignment, and into ten subgroups defined by the Ancient Digimon whose legacy they continue. Each of these ten subgroups consists of at least one Human Hybrid-level Digimon and one Beast Hybrid-level Digimon, and sometimes includes the Warrior's Rookie-level form, a half-beast, half-man Digimon produced when their Human forms lose power, their Hybrid-level ,In the Digital Monster Card Game, "Fusion-species" are called . which has inherited all the might of that attribute's original Warriors by combining its Human and Beast Spirits, or additional Human and Beast forms. The Warriors of Flame and Light also each have a Hybrid-level ,In the Digital Monster Card Game, "Transcendent-species" are called . who possess power that has surpassed even the might of the original Ten Legendary Warriors by combining the Spirits of five different attributes together.

===Digimon ReArise===
In the distant past, the Ten Legendary Warriors fought against in an attempt to stop its rebellion. During the fight, eight of them were killed and the remaining two sealed Lucemon away. Though they died, they were able to leave some of their power behind in a cave in the hopes that it could be used to stop Lucemon if it were to cause trouble again in the future.
Many Digimon try to obtain the power, though they do not give them said power finding them unworthy due to their great sadness or anger.
When Lucemon does indeed become unsealed, it plans to destroy the Digital World once again and travels back in time to obtain Millenniummon's power. acquires the help of , , and then travels to the cave in the hopes that someone would come to obtain the power of the Ten Legendary Warriors. and , having been told about the legend by , arrive in the cave and end up coming across Rasielmon who tells them it is up to them to gain the power and help save the World from Lucemon. They accept this and are summoned into an alternate dimension by the remaining power of AncientGreymon and AncientGarurumon, who test the duo to see if they are worthy of the power. Upon being told that the Legendary Warriors would give them the power they desire, the duo chicken out of it as they're scared and don't want to be the ones to be in charge of saving the World. The two Legendary Warriors laugh and watch their memories, then after seeing their personalities decide they are worthy of obtaining the power. Goblimon and Raremon turn it down again though and instead ask the Legendary Warriors to stop Lucemon from destroying the World. They use their powers to travel back in time and reach Lucemon, taking Rasielmon with them, and upon reuniting with it see that it is not powerful enough on its own to destroy the World which is why it needed Millenniummon's power. Since Goblimon and Raremon had asked them to stop Lucemon, not kill it, they decide to instead seal away Millenniummon and are able to do so with the help of Mastemon and Rasielmon. Angered, Lucemon defeats the Angels and the Legendary Warriors (with the Legendary Warriors's power running out, causing them to disappear) though this outburst of anger is enough of a distraction for Crusadermon and Dynasmon to attack and kill Lucemon (who had travelled back in time with Lucemon).
