Guilmon (Tamers)

Guilmon is from the Digimon Tamers series. A Reptile-type Digimon, he is Takato's partner. At times, he can seem naïve and a bit babyish. Guilmon is very strong and will protect his friends.

Though Guilmon appears to be realtively small (like the size of Agumon) He is actually very large, the size of an adult when standing erect. He is likely stronger than Agumon, as Takato made him that way, even saying a line when drawing him, "he'll be stronger than even Agumon!"

He was voiced by Masako Nozawa (Japan) and Steven Blum (US).

Abilities
Guilmon's primary attack is Pyrosphere, which is a more concentrated blast of heat than Agumon's Pepper Breath.

He is also surprisingly fast (given his size) and is incredibly durable. This is proven when he fought Renamon for the first time, and without help from Takato, he was able to hold his own, even though Renamon was a far more exprienced fighter than he was.

In the Digimon World 4 Game, Guilmon could 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 seemed not be aware of the differences between humans and Digimon at the start. Overtime, Guilmon matured on a mental basis and talks normally. He developed a taste for bread, especially from the Matsuda bakery. However dispite his cute and cuddly nature, his pupils slit as he enters a feral state when he senses an enemy.

Fandom
Guilmon, being the lead digimon of the series, has a fair amount fan attention. Although nowhere near as much as Renamon. Usually, fans find him to be lovable, but a few others find his naïve or "stupid" manner, annoying.

Officially, digimon are genderless, but this has not deterred fans from forming relationships between digimon. Guilmon is no exception. He is primarily paired up with Renamon, but there are a few fanfics that pair him with Takato, Terriermon, or even Impmon.

Guilmon is also commonly used in lemon fanfiction, often with Renamon.

 * Guilmon's evolutionary line bare similarities that of Evangelion Unit 01 of Neon Genesis Evangelion. The simililarites are much strongest while looking at the designs of WarGrowlmon & Gallantmon Crimson Mode.
