CHARACTER
Name: Gabumon
Canon: Digimon Adventure
Age: At least four earth years. We was chosen as Yamato’s partner four years prior to Digimon Adventure. The Digital World and the real world were out of sync, with time in the Digital World passing much more quickly than in the real world, so Gabumon is much older if we’re going by Digiworld time.
Timeline: Post-Digimon Adventure

[CANON] Gabumon || Digimon Adventure || No Reserve || 2 of 3
Digimon Adventure Gabumon, like all Gabumon in general, is a shy monster who prefers friendship to fighting. Though he resists fighting, with other Digimon and with his partner, if he is pushed to his limit he will defend himself and anyone he cares about is threatened. This is why he and Yamato obtain the Crest of Friendship; whenever their friends are in danger, like the time Seadramon attacks the Chosen Children and captures Yamato, Gabumon is eager to evolve and launch an attack. Otherwise, Gabumon is a calm Digimon.
Speaking of Yamato, Gabumon considers him his most treasured friend. His loyalty and devotion to Yamato is so intense that when Yamato leaves the safety of the group, Gabumon does everything in his power to convince the boy to return. When he refuses, Gabumon promises to stay by his side and do whatever he can to help Yamato, which includes challenging the other Chosen Children and their Digimon. They go so far as to attack Taichi and Agumon, entering a battle against Wargreymon as Metalgarurumon. After the Chosen Children work out their differences, Gabumon gladly rejoins the team with Yamato and resumes fighting as their ally. His dedication to his friends is never broken, only put under stress.
When he warms up to people, Gabumon is a friendly and kind monster. At Yamato’s urging, Gabumon leaves his side to hold Yamato’s younger brother Takeru to keep him warm. Gabumon could have refused, but understanding that Yamato just wants to take care of his brother, follows his orders, but not without telling Yamato he should be a little more forward next time. Another time, Yamato falls ill while searching for Takeru on a cold, snow-covered island. Gabumon takes him back to a cave where he keeps a fire going, then covers Yamato with his pelt. Gabumon is very resistant to removing his pelt, being a modest Digimon, so giving up his pelt for anyone is a sign of great love. The next morning Gabumon develops a cold but doesn’t complain about it. He rarely groans about anything, and is more likely to suffer through a bad situation than make trouble for anyone else. Gabumon believes in sharing and equality, treating everyone he meets with respect as long as they aren’t making trouble.
Gabumon has a few fears and weaknesses. He can’t stand the thought of his friends suffering and being unable to help them. In general he would be sad to lose his friends, as anyone would. He is very sensitive about his pelt and nudity. When Taichi teases him about giving up his pelt, Gabumon runs away in fear. At another point in the series, the children enjoy a hot bath while Gabumon stands miserably around the corner. He has one hand on his shoulder, having removed the pelt from one of his arms, but does not undress any further. It can be assumed he never joins the other Digimon and their partners. After a difficult fight in which he does or does not evolve, Gabumon will revert to his in-training stage, Tsunomon. Whenever Gabumon loses his strength, he needs food and rest to repower. If he is hungry or tired, his Petit Fire attack is more like a matchstick lighting than an honest flame, and he cannot evolve. Gabumon also cannot evolve without Yamato or without a strong power source, as seen in 02 when Qinglongmon’s DigiCore gives Gabumon the ability to evolve to Weregarurumon after he’d lost that power.
Background: This has a decent summary, and there are episode recaps here.
[CANON] Gabumon || Digimon Adventure || No Reserve || 3 of 3
Gabumon has one ability in particular that he uses more than anything else, and that is his Petit Fire/Blue Blaster attack. He breathes blue flames from his mouth, working as a long-range attack. He is also able to attack with his horn, but Petit Fire is his choice of attack. Gabumon is also capable of evolving three times, each time becoming stronger, but without Yamato or another source to gain power from, he cannot evolve. If Gabumon loses enough strength, he will revert to his in-training stage, Tsunomon. He is particularly vulnerable as Tsunomon, being a weak baby Digimon, but with enough food and rest, he can gain enough energy to evolve back to Gabumon. Tsunomon’s only attacks are a bouncy tackle and spitting bubbles that aren’t particularly impressive.
His other evolutions are:
Garurumon, a wolf-like champion stage Digimon whose fur is incredibly strong. In this form, he is much faster and more powerful. His choice of attack is Fox Fire/Howling Blaster which is an upgrade of his rookie form’s Petit Fire. Fox Fire’s flames are strong, powerful and reach farther than Petit Fire. Garurumon can also tackle his prey, though he uses Fox Fire more than anything.
Weregarurumon, an ultimate stage Digimon who looks just like a werewolf. Weregarurumon sacrifices his previous stage’s movement speed for quick punches and kicks, increased strength in all limbs and improved defense. Weregarurumon’s jump is also very impressive because while he has lost speed, he still retains Garurumon’s strong hind legs. In this form he has two attacks: Circle Moon Kick/Garuru Kick and Kaiser Nail/Wolf Claw. When he uses Circle Moon Kick, Weregarurumon creates a shockwave with just one kick. Kaiser Nail causes the nails on Weregarurumon's hands to glow and is used to slash his opponent.
Metalgarurumon, a cyborg wolf Digimon in the mega stage. Metalgarurumon becomes speedy again while also becoming stronger because its body is a massive weapon. The blades sticking out of his shoulders give Metalgarurumon the ability to fly as seen later in the series, but he stays mainly on the ground. He has four attacks in this form: Cocytus Breath/Metal Wolf Claw breathes a breath so cold whatever it touches freezes and, assuming the opponent is weaker, dies. Grace Cross Freezer/Ice Wolf Claw launches weapons from different compartments hidden on Metalgarurumon’s body. Freeze Bomber/Giga Missile opens a compartment on his chest and launches a freezing bomb. Metal Wolf Snout fires four lasers from the laser sights on Metalgarurumon’s snout.
First Person:
[audio]
Hello? [Quiter.] Is this how you do it? Maybe it’s this one— Oh, it’s working!
[Speaks in a normal voice.] Hello! The sign at the train station says I should introduce myself to everyone here. I’m not sure if this is a good idea, but I think should say it now so none of you get the wrong idea. I don’t want to scare anyone.
My name is Gabumon and I’m a digital monster from the Digital World. You can call me and others like me Digimon. I’m a good Digimon so you don’t have to worry about me making any trouble. I’d rather be friends if that’s all right. I can even cover myself if it makes it easier. Just let me know.
Third Person:
Gabumon gripped the silver watch in one hand while he picked up one of the blankets at the station. He wasn’t cold; his Garurumon pelt warded off any chill he might have felt. With one corner gripped in each hand, he threw the blanket up and over his head so that it covered his horn and body. It was better than the coat he’d hidden under in Odaiba, but no less ridiculous. This way, he thought, he could reach shelter and not risk alarming the rest of the city. The people patrolling the station didn’t seem to mind him, but they were only part of a larger mass whose tolerance Gabumon couldn’t judge.
The coffee shop labeled on the map was open to newcomers, but Gabumon hesitated at the thought of people staying in the same space. If there were people staying there, they would ask questions and demand to know what was under his blanket. Worse, they might take it from him and then fly into a panic. The last time he had wandered around a city, just the sight of a Digimon terrified people. At that time the city was under the control of an evil Digimon, but Gabumon didn’t think he was excused from taking precautions just because of that situation. He wanted to play it safe and keep everyone satisfied.
Anyway, he was a Digimon; he’d spent most of his life living in a forest, and lived in many different places after that. He could survive with simple shelter and food even if it wasn’t ideal. After securing his own space, he could work on gradually introducing himself to other residents until he didn’t need the blanket anymore. If he integrated himself, he would have a better shot at figuring out how to get home. Humans, he thought, would be more likely to help him if they knew he was no threat.
It seemed like a good plan to Gabumon, who nodded to himself. He would have to start immediately if he had any hope of getting home soon. Quickly he gathered some of the available supplies in another blanket, wrapped it up and hugged it to himself while still clutching the other blanket close. When everything felt secure, the Digimon left the train station in search of a new home.
