Garudamon

Profile Name & Etymology Debut Design & Analysis Digimon Reference Book Digimon Life Virtual Pets Anime & Manga Video Games ⇨ Japanese A Bird Man Digimon that has gigantic talons and wings that let it dance freely through the sky. Garudamon honors justice and order, and is a guardian deity of the land and wind that loves nature. Its intelligence and combat ability are the highest among Bird Digimon, and it is admired due to it being said that only chosen Digimon can evolve to it. It is thought that if the order of the Digital World is disturbed, it will suddenly appear out of nowhere, and quell the source of the unrest. Also, it is matchless friends with the hero Leomon, who possesses the same will. Its Special Move is unleashing a vacuum blade at super-speed, chopping up the opponent (Shadow Wing). Because of the speed of Shadow Wing's residue, its true shape cannot be confirmed, and it can only be seen as a silhouette shaped like a black bird.

Digimon World: Digital Card Arena

Garudamon appears in Flame City's Battle Café after beating Yagami Taichi, alongside her partner, Takenouchi Sora. She explains to the player that they met before in Sage Tower, where she was Birdramon. Afterwards, she asks the player how he's doing, and points out that he must've found what he was looking for. She then challenges the player to a battle, pointing out that Sora will not fight him before he beats her, and that she will win if he hasn't improved since Sage Tower. Garudamon plays the Sun Goddess deck, a Red/Flame deck with 4 attack, 4 defense and 3 evolution speed that's well-balanced and uses Recovery cards. Upon being defeated, she's surprised she lost and asks Sora for forgiveness, but nonetheless accepts the battle was fair and holds no grudge, so she's sure he'll have a great match with Sora and wants a rematch herself.

Garudamon later appears as the fourth opponent of Sage Tower's second and third Battle Arenas. Before the first match, she tells the player she's glad to see him again, then points out that the previous battlers could not stop him, but she's not like them and won't let him go any farther. Upon being defeated, she accepts she's no challenge for the player and tells him to continue, but with care as the last two Card Tamers, Metal Garurumon and War Greymon, are stronger than the rest.
