The creatures that live in the Digital World are known as Digimon. This is a shortened term for Digital Monster. They are born from Digi-Eggs. A freshly hatched Digimon will be at either the In-training or Rookie stage depending on what Digivolutionary line they belong to. As a Digimon grows more experienced it can transform into a different stronger form. This is known as Digivolving.
- There are 6 different stages of Digivolution.
Digi-Egg* 
In-Training Rookie Champion Ultimate Mega
* It is not possible to Degenerate back into a Digi-Egg.
Most Digimon have multiple options for what they can Digivolve into. On the other hand, they have only 1 option when Degenerating.
New Digimon and changes[edit]
As with Digimon World DS, Dawn and Dusk introduce several new Digimon to the franchise. Chicchimon is a new Bird based Fresh/In-Training Digimon. Grimmon, ChaosGrimmon, and EXO-Grimmon also make their first appearances in the game as the main enemy. Grimmon seems to have a connection with Chronomon Destroyer Mode, a boss from the first game.
Dawn and Dusk also complete the Digivolution lines of the Digimon from the Digimon Data Squad anime, with the likes of ShineGreymon and MirageGaogamon, after having been left out in the first game. DotShineGreymon and DotMirageGaogamon make their debut, with DotAgumon and DotFalcomon returning from the first game and also includes DNA Evolution to obtain stronger Digimon.
