=Characteristics=
 * Garudamon's name comes from Garuda, a hindi God who is a half-man half-eagle. Thus Garudamon's appearance heavily reflects this. Garudamon stands at about 45 feet with a wingspan of about 100 feet. I imagine she weighs around 15 tons. Garudamon wears a large helmet that covers her whole head, with her blonde hair sticking out the back. She sees through two large eye holes, she has great green eyes. Garudamon also has symbols on her shoulders, and around her thighs. I don't know what these symbols mean, but similar ones can be seen all around the digital world. Garudamon's wings are obviously quite large to support such a huge frame. Her pinion is yellow with an orange stripe along the middle.
 * As for accessories, there's the afor mentioned helmet. Garudamon also wears two braids on the side of her head that stick out from under the helmet. Garudamon wears a red sash tied around her left arm, similar to the one Beelzemon wears. She also has many patterns on her person that I've yet to decide whether they are patterns or actual seperate items. Like on her 3 middle fingers there are orange rings that I tend to think are just pigment patterns. Then above her wrists are two bands with patterns on them that I can't discern either.

First season (Digimon Adventure)
Garudamon first debuted when Myotismon made himself known to the DigiDestined. Biyomon, weakened from DemiDevimon's dart, was determined to protect Sora. Sora's refusal to allow her to fight made her realise that she did know what love was and that she felt it for Biyomon. This caused Sora's crest to glow and Birdramon to digivolve to Garudamon, who managed to stop Myotismon and get the gang out of there.

Garudamon was involved in several battles with Myotismon's henchmen and was involved in the final battle with the villain himself. Garudamon was also a needed ally in the fight against the Dark Masters Puppetmon and Piedmon, as well as Apocalymon.

Second season (Digimon Zero Two)
When Sora used the crest power to free the Sovereigns, Biyomon lost the power to become Garudamon. That was until three years later, on Christmas Day, Biyomon and the other old generation Digimon had that power restored to them by one of the DigiCores of Azulongmon. Garudamon, with Aquillamon and their human partners, when to Moscow to help the Russian DigiDestined with a swarm of Flymon and a stampede of Mammothmon.

But during the fight against SkullSatamon of the Daemon Corps, Garudamon and the other Ultimates were defeated and regressed due to the strain of their stay in the Real World for so long. Biyomon sacrificed her power again to energise Imperialdramon, allowing him to Mode Change to his Fighter Mode.
