Gesomon is a Mollusk Digimon. It has the shape of a squid and inhabits the depths of the Net Ocean. Although it is feared as the "White Demon of the Depths", it is highly intelligent and will not harm Digimon outside of its territory. However, if they seem to cross into its territory even for a moment, it will attack them like a fierce, raging god. For its attack style it specializes in "Hit and Away", in which it inflicts a single blow and then immediately withdraws.^[2]

Attacks

• Coral Crusher^[3] (Devil Bashing): Unleashes a barrage of attacks that capitalizes on its many legs.
• Coral Crusher^[4] (Deadly Shade) Attacks with a powerful squid ink that will completely numb the opponent's vision for a long time if they get hit by it.
