Guilmon (Tamers)

Guilmon is a fictional character from the Digimon franchise. Guilmon is featured in Digimon Tamers (and the related movies Battle of Adventurers and Runaway Locomon) and is Takato Matsuki's partner.

Appearance
Guilmon appears to be relatively small, but when standing erect, he is actually the size of an adult human. Guilmon is a red dinosaur-like digimon who carries the black Digital hazard symbol on his chest.

Description


Guilmon is a curious and naive digimon, the youngest of the partner Digimon. He was created from Takato's imagination and brought to life by the Blue Card. At first, Guilmon had not been aware of the differences between humans and Digimon, calling his partner Tamer "Takatomon."

Guilmon is normally playful and friendly, proving to be quite popular with Takato's classmates for being a real live Digimon. Despite being portrayed as childlike, Guilmon does at times show deep insight. For example, when Takato didn't want Guilmon to digivolve, in fear that Guilmon would no longer be the same, Guilmon pointed out that Takato has changed over time as well, but he is still the same person.

Guilmon gets along very well with Terriermon and Calumon. His first meeting with Renamon was as enemies, but Guilmon does later acknowledge Renamon's knack for "being right" in combat situations.

Unlike previous seasons, Guilmon is not the first digimon to digivolve into champion level even though he belongs to the main character.

Attacks
 * Pyro Sphere (Fireball): Guilmon spits a concentrated blast of fire from his mouth.
 * Rock Breaker: Guilmon coats his claws in fire and slashes at his opponent.

Other forms
The name "Guilmon" refers to only the rookie form of this digimon. Throughout the series, Guilmon gains the ability to Digivolve into a number of more powerful forms (each with a different name). The rookie form, however, is his most common and preferred form.

Gigimon
Gigimon is Guilmon's In-Training form. The name "Gigimon" comes from the Japanese word "gigi", meaning doubt. Gigimon appeared when Guilmon De-Digivolved to Gigimon after the D-Reaper was defeated and was forced to return to the Digital World.



Growlmon
Growlmon is the Digivolved form of Guilmon. Guilmon first Digivolved to Growlmon during his fight against Devidramon. In this new form, Growlmon fought a fierce battle against the dark dragon and ultimately destroyed him.

Afterwards, Growlmon discovered that he wasn't able to regress. Takato tried various methods to make Growlmon use up his "surplus" energy, but failed. Growlmon eventually did De-Digivolve naturally after observing a rainbow with Takato. After a few more times of digivolution, Guilmon does learn how to de-digivolve.

 Attacks: 
 * Pyro Blaster (Exhaust Flame): Growlmon shoots a powerful fire ball from his mouth.
 * Dragon Slash (Plasma Blade): Growlmon charges the blades on his arms with energy and slashes his enemies.

WarGrowlmon
WarGrowlmon is Guilmon's ultimate form. WarGrowlmon first appeared when Mihiramon of the Devas appeared. Since Mihiramon was so much stronger than other Digimon, Takato had to use a Blue Card. Slashing this card allowed Growlmon to Digivolve into WarGrowlmon, who was then able to defeat Mihiramon. Growlmon later digivolved again to defeat the Devas Indramon and Vikaralamon.

WarGrowlmon's Japanese name MegaloGrowmon comes from Greek "μεγαλο-/megalo-" meaning 'big', 'tall' or 'great'. The english name "WarGrowlmon" is a reference to WarGreymon.

 Attacks: 
 * Atomic Blaster: Fires a strong energy beam from the two cannons on his chest.
 * Trinity Force: A combined attack with Taomon and Rapidmon. This attack turns all three digimon into crystal and then a giant phoenix beam.
 * Radiation Blade (Double Edge): He powers up the blades on his arms and fires them at the enemy.



Megidramon
Megidramon is a mega digimon whose name comes from the word "Megiddo", the place where Christians believe the final battle between good and evil will take place.

Megidramon is Guilmon's mega form when the full destructive power of the Digital Hazard is released, and as a result his existence endangered the very fabric of the digital world. Guilmon turned into Megidramon once when he Digivolved using Takato's anger. The death of Leomon at the hands of Beelzemon caused Takato to fill with blood lust. Jeri finally snapped him back to his senses and he became horrified by Guilmon's transformation (which also destroyed his D-Arc).

At first, Megidramon seemed to have the upper hand against Beelzemon and attempted to devour him. However, Beelzemon eventually won the battle by absorbing Mokuramon's data, beating Megidramon unconscious. Takato cried, knelt down by the unconscious Megidramon and wished that they could fight Beelzemon together as it should be. This resulted in him Biomerging with Guilmon to become Gallantmon. Takato then received an Ultimate (Golden) D-Arc.

Gallantmon
Gallantmon is the true Mega form of Guilmon. Gallantmon was the first Biomerged Digimon to appear. Gallantmon first appeared when Takato Biomerged with Guilmon in order to fight Beelzemon. In this new form, Gallantmon was able to defeat Beelzemon. Gallantmon's power was used in the battle against the D-Reaper. Gallantmon played a key role in confronting the D-Reaper and in obtaining the ARMS "Grani" as his mode of transportation.

 Attacks: 
 * Lightning Joust (Royal Saber): Gallantmon shoots out energy at the opponent from his Gram Lance.
 * Shield of the Just (Final Elysium): Gallantmon fires an energy beam from his Aegis Shield.
 * Spiral Saver (Sieg Saber): A spiral uppercut attack with the lance.
 * Dragon Driver: A joint attack with Grani - the two drive themselves right into their opponent.
 * Yuggoth Blaster: A joint attack with Grani - a blue tri-bolo energy attack that shoots from Grani's mouth.



Grani
Zero ARtifical MonSter Grani (Zero ARMS Grani) (ゼロアームズ・グラニ zeroāmuzu gurani) is a special type of Digimon who also serves as a transport vehicle. It was named after Sigurd's horse from Norse mythology. Grani mainly served as a "steed" for Gallantmon to ride on, and had Mitsuo Yamaki's Yuggoth Program installed. Grani was originally a rudimentary digital lifeform, but soon evolved into a sentient Digimon. It was created by the 'Monster Maker' team with the aid of Hypnos as an 'ark' to bring the children home from the Digital World. During this time, Grani developed a bond with Guilmon. Later the ark was modified and brought to the Real World by Henry Wong's D-Power in order to act as a flying 'steed' for Gallantmon in the fight against the D-Reaper. Its destruction gave Gallantmon the power to transform into "Gallantmon Crimson Mode" for the final battle against the D-Reaper.

Grani is voiced by Dave Mallow.

Gallantmon Crimson Mode
Gallantmon Crimson Mode is an advanced form of Gallantmon. It is said that this is his true form, in which the Digital hazard is fully contained, allowing him to wield the totality of his power. Gallantmon Crimson Mode appeared towards the end of Digimon Tamers. Gallantmon had found himself overwhelmed in his battle against the D-Reaper. Grani, whose body had already been deteriorating, arrived and claimed that its time with Guilmon and Takato had allowed it to feel as though it was truly alive. Grani gave the last of its power to Gallantmon, triggering the mode change. With this newfound power and the Balmung Sword and spear, Gallantmon Crimson Mode was able to defeat the D-Reaper's Agent-01. Gallantmon assumes this form again during the fight against the Parasimon

 Attacks: 
 * Crimson Light (Quo Vadis): Gallantmon Crimson Mode hurls his spear at his foes.
 * Final Justice: He fires an energy beam of light from his spear.
