King Drasil is the mysterious host computer who rules over all of the "Digital World" on one Server of the Network.[1] Its primary form is that of the Server Tree, an enormous, sacred tree. Bagramon replaced its lost eyes and right half of its body, taken from it by God, with wood cut from the sacred tree.[2] It has created an avatar in the form of King Drasil_7D6, whose body has many unidentified details,[1] and Shakamon is rumored to be the being closest to King Drasil in the Digital World.[3] It gathered the Royal Knights in order to manage the world, and it seems that its will will eventually lead the Royal Knights to cross Servers to the Digital World: Iliad Server and meet the Olympos XII face-to-face.[4]

Design
King Drasil's design, showcased in Digital Monster X-Evolution, is a pristine crystalline sphere on a similarly-formed plinth.
The Server Tree's design is derived from the mythological Yggdrasill, an immeasurably large tree which supported the various worlds in Norse mythology. Although it resembles a mundane tree, the ivy growing over it are optical cables, its wooden trunk is inlaid with circuitry, and it contains chambers for the Royal Knights to gather. Several of King Drasil's crystals act as its security system, and possess the ability to fire beams of energy or absorb and reflect attacks.
Norn's design is derived from the mythological Norns, with her bound outfit being based on Gothic Lolita fashion, while her freed outfit is based on Magical girl fashion with details drawn from King Drasil_7D6's design.

Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth
In order to halt the Eater incursion in the Digital World, King Drasil sends Crusadermon and Leopardmon to destroy the human world via the Parade Lost plan, which opens a rift between the human and Digital Worlds. Conversly, Alphamon is sent to the Real World by King Drasil to act as a counter to Crusadermon and Leopardmon.
By the time Aiba, Arata Sanada, Yuuko Kamishiro and Nokia Shiramine arrive in the Digital World alongside Alphamon and Omnimon, the Mother Eater has eroded through to King Drasil's core and overridden most of King Drasil's functionality, causing the King Drasil_7D6 units to identify even the Royal Knights as intruders. Upon the Mother Eater's destruction and the reset of both the Digital and human worlds, King Drasil is restored.
