Terriermon

This article refers to the Terriermon featured in Digimon Tamers. For the Terriermon in Digimon Adventure 02, see List of characters in Digimon Adventure.

Terriermon is a fictional character from the Digimon media franchise. Terriermon is the partner digimon of Henry Wong. He appears as a main character in the Digimon Tamers anime series (as well as the two related movies Battle of Adventurers and Runaway Locomon).

Appearance

In the English dub, Terriermon was called a bunny because of his long ears and his similarity to Lopmon. However, he is actually modelled after a dog, and named after a group of dog breeds Terrier.

Description

Terriermon started out as a wild Digimon, fighting by the rules of the "survival of the fittest" doctrine in the harsh realm of the Digital World. 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. However, Gargomon lost control of his powers and Terriermon was nearly unconscious when he De-Digivolved, causing Henry to regret causing 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.

At first, Henry hid Terriermon from his family by making Terriermon act like a simple stuffed animal. Later, Terriermon met the other Tamers, and became fast friends with Guilmon (Takato's partner).

Terriermon has a laid back personality - and often uses the word "Momentai" (written as 無問題 or 无问题), a Cantonese phrase that means "take it easy " or more commonly, "not a problem".

Terriermon was the first digimon to digivolve into champion level in Digimon Tamers.

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.

Other forms

The name "Terriermon" refers to only the rookie form of this digimon. Throughout the series, Terriermon gains the ability to Digivolve into a number of more powerful forms (each with a different name). The rookie form, however, remains as his most common form.

Gummymon File:Gummymon.jpg Gummymon (グミモン Gumimon) Gummymon is Terriermon's In-Training form. After the final battle in Digimon Tamers, Terriermon De-Digivolved to Gummymon.

Gargomon File:Gargomon.jpg Gargomon (ガルゴモン Galgomon) 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. Attacks Gargo Pellets/Laser (Gatling Arm): Fires bullets or laser beams from the Gatling Arm gauntlets on his arms. Bunny Pummel (Dum Dum Upper): Uses his Gatling Arm as smashing weapons.

File:Rapidmon.jpg Rapidmon (ラピッドモン) Rapidmon is the Ultimate form of Terriermon. His upper body is metal except for his face and the base of his ears. His fur is a light cream color. When Henry slashed a "Blue Card", Gargomon became Rapidmon and used his attacks in a battle against Pajiramon and Vajramon. Rapidmon also appears later on in other battles against Vikaralamon, Beelzemon, Zhuqiaomon and some of the agents of the D-Reaper.

Miracle Missile (Atomic Blast): Fires missiles from his back rocket launchers. Tri-Beam (Golden Triangle): Forms an energy triangle in a formation and fires a green laser from it. Trinity Force (Trinity Burst): In this combined attack with WarGrowlmon and Taomon, Rapidmon turns into a crystal-like form, then a beam of energy, and then he combines with the other two (also in the form of energy beams at this point) into an energy arrow that resembles a crane.

MegaGargomon File:Megagargomon.jpg MegaGargomon (セントガルゴモン SaintGalgomon) MegaGargomon is the Mega form of Terriermon. His size and heavy arsenal gives him the appearance of a mecha. MegaGargomon was formed when Henry Biomerged with Terriermon during the fight against the Sovereign, Zhuqiaomon. In this form he was able to hurt the powerful Mega Digimon, but nevertheless lasted only a short time in the fight. He later participated in battles with the D-Reaper, and used the Juggernaut program downloaded by Hypnos to defeat it.
