Four Great Dragons
The Four Great Dragons (四大竜 "Yondairyū"?) are a group of four Ultimate-level Dragon Digimon that is composed by Qinglongmon, Goddramon, Holydramon and Megidramon.[1][2] These Dragon Digimon posses such immense power that they came to be known as the Four Great Dragons, but they don't work as a team. They can never be ignored by Digimon of the same ilk, as they will set trials for the other Dragon Digimon.[3] It is said that Slayerdramon's form is one that can only be attained by those who complete the training that is called the "Trial of the Four Great Dragons", which can only be challenged by Dragon Digimon.[4]
It's considered that Qinglongmon is the most deified existence in the group,[1] while Goddramon has the strongest magical power among the four.[5] On the other hand, Megidramon has a personality so fiendish that it doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to the other three.[2] He boasts the fiercest, most evil destructive power among the Four Great Dragons.[6]

Digimon ReArise[edit]
One day, Megidramon lost control causing all kinds of destruction. However, Qinglongmon, Holydramon and Goddramon intervened by attacking their companion, causing him to regress to Guilmon.
Despite Goddramon's arguments to eliminate Guilmon, fearing that he would become Megidramon again, Qinglongmon and Holydramon chose to leave him alive, in the hope that living with other Digimon would change his heart. However, Goddramon continued to watch him from afar, ensuring that he would eliminate him if Megidramon lost control once again.
After several unfortunate events, Guilmon, who lost his memories, once again became Megidramon, after seeing his friend Sagittarimon being hurt. Goddramon appeared and started a new fight, but Megidramon remained motionless, saying that he wanted to use his power to protect the weakest.
Back in Guilmon's form, Goddramon instructed him to take a journey around the world helping the weakest. This journey would lead Guilmon to become a Holy Knight in the future.

Trivia[edit]
The Four Great Dragons are derived from the Chinese myth of the Four Dragon Kings who rule over the four seas surrounding China, and manifest as its four great rivers. The Dragon Kings appeared prominently in the Ming dynasty epics Journey to the West (西遊記 "Xīyóujì"?) and Creation of the Gods (封神演義 "Fēngshén Yǎnyì"?).
Although the group has been mentioned in the Japanese card games and the Digimon Dictionary profiles, it has not appeared in any of the franchise serials.
