Guilmon (Tamers)

Guilmon is a fictional character from the Digimon franchise, a Reptile Digimon. He is featured in Digimon Tamers and is Takato Matsuki's partner. He is curious and naïve, the youngest of the partner Digimon. However, he is a brave Digimon and is not afraid to defend his friends.

He was voiced by Masako Nozawa (Japanese) and Steven Blum (English).

Description
Though Guilmon appears to be relatively small (about the size of Agumon) he is actually very large, the size of a human adult when standing erect. The pattern on his chest is that of a hazard symbol. It refers to Guilmon's potential to Digivolve into Megidramon, a Digimon so wild and volatile that it has the power to destroy the entire Digital World.

Digivolution

 * Fresh (Baby I) - Jyarimon
 * In-Training (Baby II) - Gigimon
 * Rookie (Child) - Guilmon
 * Champion (Adult) - Growlmon
 * Ultimate (Perfect) - WarGrowlmon
 * Mega (Ultimate) - Gallantmon, Megidramon
 * Mega (Ultimate) - Gallantmon Crimson Mode

Attacks

 * Pyro Sphere (Fireball): Spits a concentrated blast of fire from his mouth.
 * Rock Breaker: His claw becomes coated in fire, and he slashes at his opponent.
 * Neck Stretcher: An attack introduced in Rumble Arena 2, an uppercut with added flames.

Abilities
He is surprisingly fast (given his size) and is incredibly durable. This is proven when he is attacked by Renamon. (This occured early in the series, before the two became allies.) He holds his own without any help from Takato, even though Renamon is a far more experienced fighter.

In the Digimon World 4 video game, Guilmon can use the Kurenaimaru Sword as his weapon.

Digimon Tamers
Guilmon was a Digimon born from Takato's imagination, brought to life by the Blue Card. At first Guilmon called his Tamer "Takatomon", as he was not aware of the differences between humans and Digimon. Over time, Guilmon matured and learned to talk normally. He developed a taste for bread, especially from the Matsuda bakery. Despite his innocent nature, his pupils slit and he enters a feral state when he senses an enemy.

Digimon Story
Guilmon evolves from Kuramon, and can evolve further into Growlmon depending on its stats.

Trivia

 * Guilmon's evolutionary line bears similarities to that of Evangelion Unit 01 from Neon Genesis Evangelion. The strongest simililarites can be seen while examining the designs of WarGrowlmon and Gallantmon Crimson Mode.


 * Guilmon made an appearance in Digimon Battle Spirit and Digimon Rumble Arena 1 and 2, with BlackGuilmon as a secret character.
