Gesomon

Gesomon is a fictional creature, a Champion level Mollusk Digimon looking like a squid. The name "Gesomon" is derived from a Japanese sushi-making term for squid legs.

Description
Gesomon essentially looks like a white giant squid. However, His mouth is shaped like that of a lizard rather than a true squid. Not very large, but deep, it opens right under his body. Several bone-like structures jut right above it in a half circle. This mouth has only three teeth on the bottom jaw, but many on the upper jaw. There are black markings and cybernetic-lloking pieces of ring pipe where his "face" would normally be. He has ten tentacles, height of which are short and seem to lack suckers. Two other tentacles are much longer, equaling his entire body in lenght. They end in vaguely hand-like structures with red suckers in the palm and three black claws each several feet long.

Gesomon is amphibious and can swim at great speed underwater. He also can shoot ink, likely as one of his attacks, altough the precise effects are unknown.

Digivolution
Gesomon was never given a precise evolution line in the anime. In the card and video games, however, he may evolve from any of Crabmon, Guilmon, ModokiBetamon, Syakomon, Gomamon, Penguinmon, SnowGoblimon or Gizamon.

In the Digimon CCG Gesomon may evolve, through DNA-Digivolution, to Scorpiomon (with Ikkakumon), Dragomon (with Seadramon) or directly to MarineDevimon and WaruSeadramon.
