WereGarurumon

WereGarurumon is a fictional character in the Digimon anime. He is an Animal Digimon, the ultimate form of Gabumon. He is modeled after data on werewolves. In Digimon Adventure and Adventure 02, he is voiced by Kirk Thornton in the US, and Mayumi Yamaguchi in Japan. In Frontier, his American voice actor is the late Bob Papenbrook.

Description


WereGarurumon resembled a Garurumon, only upright and with an anthropomorphic build. He wears a belt across his upper body along with a shoulderpad, in addition to blue jeans. In addition, a sort of glove covers one arm, and on each hand, he has bladed knucklers. A skull is stiched on one of the legs of his jeans. Finally, he has earrings, and bandages on various parts of his body.

Though he's now bipedal, and less quick than Garurumon, he has greater attack and defensive power. Its intelligence is higher, allowing him to learn strategies. He is also faithful and obedient, making him an excellent partner.

ShadowWereGarurumon appears just the same way, just with black fur and white stripes. His jeans are military camo instead of blue, and his arm glove is brown.

WereGarurumon X, which is a WereGarurumon modified by the X-Antibody, has armor on his legs, arms, and upper body, and has sharper, more dangerous-looking claws. What's more, he has blades on his shoulders.

WereGarurumon is a fierce fighter with powerful legs and arms. These all add up to making him an extremely capable melee fighter.

Digimon Adventure
Gabumon reached this form successfully when Matt and Joe were forced to work at a Digimon restaurant, due to the scheming of DemiDevimon. But when Matt deided to leave, the owner of the restaurant, Digitamamon, violently attacked the DigiDestined. Garurumon Digivolved to WereGarurumon, KO-ing Digitamamon.

WereGarurumon would later help in the resulting battles with Myotismon, first helping the DigiDestined to escape to the real world by battling Dokugumon. He even battled the villain himself, alongside Angemon. Later, in addition to giving his power to Angewomon to help her destroy Myotismon, he would face the vampire when he was reborn as VenomMyotismon. Nevertheless, his power was insufficient, and Gabumon was forced to Warp Digivolve into MetalGarurumon and fight him, along with WarGreymon.

After returning to the Digital World, he participated in the initial battle with the Dark Masters. After this, WereGarurumon did not appear for the remaineder of the series (outside of Gabumon's Warp Digivolution sequence).

Digimon Adventure 02
When Matt used the crest power to free the Sovereigns, Gabumon lost the power to become WereGarurumon. That was, until three years later, on Christmas Day, when Gabumon and the other old generation Digimon had that power restored to them by one of the DigiCores of Azulongmon. WereGarurumon, with Stingmon and their human partners, went to Mexico to help the Latin American DigiDestined with their Digimon there.

During the fight against SkullSatamon of the Daemon Corps, WereGarurumon and the other Ultimates were defeated and regressed due to the strain of their stay in the Real World for so long. Gabumon sacrificed his power (which were later restored yet again) to energize Imperialdramon, allowing him to Mode Change to his Fighter Mode.

Digimon Frontier


ShadowWereGarurumon was a participant in the "Great Trailmon Race", along with his fiendish sidekick, Dogmon. The two of them tried all manner of dirty tricks to get ahead during the race, only to be defeated by Takuya Kanbara and his racing partner, Worm. Later on in the series, they would reappear, trying to escape the Autumn Leaf Fair before the coming of the Royal Knights.
