Giromon is a Machine Digimon. It patrols within the Computer Network while floating lightly in the air, and is also known as the "Net Keeper". It is surely a frightening Digimon, as when it judges an intruding Digimon to be an opponent, it will repel them with all the attacks it is able to muster, and if it is driven into a predicament, it will completely annihilate the intruder by blowing itself up.[2]

In File City, Giromon builds a jukebox for the restaurant which can play all of the game's music tracks.
