Appearance[]
Description[]
Terriermon started out as a wild Digimon, living by the doctrine of "survival of the fittest" in the harsh realm of the Digital World. It Came From the Other Side When Henry received a Digimon video game as a present from his father, he selected Terriermon to play with because he identified with him. During a battle between Terriermon and Gorillamon, Henry caused Terriermon to Digivolve into Gargomon, but Gargomon lost control of his powers and was nearly unconscious when he degenerated, encouraging Henry to regret Terriermon's digivolution. Soon after, the mysterious Blue Card was discovered among Henry's card collection. Henry swiped the card through his card reader, transforming it into a D-Power. Terriermon then Bio-Emerged into the Real World as Henry's partner. Because of Terriermon's near-death experience, Henry strongly discouraged fights, even against attacking Digimon. However, when they needed to protect a child from a rampaging Musyamon, Henry learned that there were some things worth fighting for, and eased off. Much Ado About Musyamon
At first, Henry hid Terriermon from his family by having Terriermon act like a simple stuffed animal, who his sister called "Princess Pretty Pants". Later, Terriermon met the other Tamers, and became fast friends with Guilmon (Takato's partner).
Terriermon also has a laid-back personality—and often uses the phrase, "Moumantai" (written as 無問題 or 无问题), a Cantonese phrase that means "take it easy ", "Relax " or more commonly, "not a problem".
Terriermon was the first Digimon to Digivolve into champion level in Digimon Tamers (though this was accidental due to the situation).
Attacks
- Bunny Blast (Blazing Fire): Terriermon fires energy blasts from his mouth. This can be in either a rapid round of tiny blasts, or in one large concentrated blast.
- Terrier Tornado (Petit Twister): Terriermon spins himself around and shoots a green tornado at his enemies.

Gargomon[]
Gargomon is Terriermon's Champion form. Terriermon accidentally Digivolved into Gargomon while Renamon and Guilmon were fighting in an indoor parking lot and went out of control. If not for Guilmon tackling him into a wall, Gargomon would have fired at Rika. The same problem happened when Henry was playing his online videogame and Terriermon Digivolved into Gargomon to drive off Gorillamon. It wasn't until the following battle against Musyamon that Gargomon was able to control himself and that Henry realized that there are times when one needs to fight in order to prevent disaster.

MegaGargomon[]
MegaGargomon is the Mega form of Terriermon. MegaGargomon was formed when Henry Biomerged with Terriermon during the fight against the Sovereign, Zhuqiaomon.

He later participated in battles with the D-Reaper, and used the Juggernaut program downloaded by Hypnos to defeat it. In combat, MegaGargomon demonstrates that as a whole, 'they' benefit from Henry's experience as a Tai Chi student, using martial arts in battle against opponents.
