Profile

Unlike the partner version of Gammamon, the Gammamon that would evolve into Gulus Gammamon had black, pupil-less eyes. They are visible when he possesses Gammamon to act on his own.

He is also significantly stronger than Hiro's Gammamon and can easily kill even Digimon a level higher than his own with simple attacks. His Perfect form can fatally injure Ultimate-level Digimon in combat.

He is not considered a Dark Evolution despite the similarities and is a separate entity from Gammamon.

Digimon Ghost Game

Gulus Gammamon in Digimon Ghost Game.

Before Digimon Ghost Game, the Gammamon who was known as Gulus Gammamon was a sinister force that once dominated the Digital World who died through unknown means. His consciousness somehow ended up in the Gammamon that would be later given to Amanokawa Hiro, and remains dormant for most of the time. Whenever Gammamon's mind was in grave distress or if he is backed to a corner however, Gulus Gammamon will possess Gammamon's body to act autonomously without any input from the latter's partner, usually to kill any Digimon who became the source of Gammamon's distress.

The shadow of Gulus Gammamon first appears in Episode 1, "The Sewn-lip Man" when Clockmon uses Chrono Breaker on Gammamon, attempting to age him, but his appearance frightens Clockmon long enough for Amanokawa Hiro to save Gammamon from the attack. The same shadow later appears when Clockmon attacks again in "Warped Time", but this time it lashes out at Clockmon, reflecting his attack and critically wounding him.

Gulus Gammamon makes his first real appearance in "Executioner" after Bokomon's death by the hands of Sealsdramon pushes Gammamon into this Evolution. In sharp contrast to Gammamon, Gulus Gammamon has an aggressive and cruel personality, believing entirely in the philosophy of "eat or be eaten." He effortlessly defeats Sealsdramon and initially tries to convince Hiro to partner with him to finish off Sealsdramon. Still, when Hiro refuses, Gulus Gammamon kills Sealsdramon himself with Dead-end Skewer and attempts to leave, attacking Hiro and the others when they interfere. However, his memories of Bokomon stop him, making him revert to Gammamon.

Gulus Gammamon's existence is alluded to in "The Witching Hour" when Piccolomon attempts to go back in time to erase Betel Gammamon from existence, but quickly returns, seriously injured.

Gulus Gammamon reappeared in "The Spider's Lure" after Gammamon evolves again when Hiro was in danger and killed Archnemon with his Desdemona. Before Hiro could talk with him, Gulus Gammamon calmly told Hiro to stay back and that it wasn't time yet before devolving back into Gammamon.

Gulus Gammamon reappeared again in "Human Hunter" after Gammamon forced himself to evolve to kill the king Oboromon and consumed the energy of its companions before Hiro stopped him. Gulus Gammamon accepts Hiro's judgement and devolves back to Gammamon. Afterwards, the surviving Oboromon recognize him as the "Jet-Black Tyrant".

He is indirectly mentioned in "The Crimson Harvest Festival" when Witchmon seems to recognize Gammamon as the Jet-Black Tyrant, and again in "Ghost Taxi", after Lilithmon realizes he exists based on Gammamon's resistance to her curse. When Siriusmon refuses Lilithmon's offer to join her, she muses that his other side might feel differently.

Gulus Gammamon reappeared once more in "Jiraiya" after Tonosama Gekomon mercilessly assaulted Gammamon and triggered his evolution. He turned the tables against the Perfect Digimon before threatening to kill him, Kiyoshiro, and the humans absorbed into Tonosama Gekomon's back if Hiro didn't sync with him. Gekomon begged Gulus Gammamon to spare his master, and he reluctantly accepted both Hiro's and Gekomon's judgment and asked that they sync up one day before devolving back into Gammamon.

In "The Black Zone of Death", Gulus Gammamon's consciousness managed to speak to Siriusmon as the latter was losing against a corrupted Rafflesimon, persuading him to do everything he could to save Hiro and his friends, which resulted in Gulus Gammamon temporarily taking control of his alter ego as they were absorbed by Rafflesimon. With his help, Siriusmon was able to defeat her and expelled himself, Hiro, Ruli, Symbare Angoramon, Kiyoshiro, Tesla Jellymon, Hover Espimon, and all the Digimon Rafflesimon absorbed, including Saberdramon, due to Gulus Gammamon attacking Rafflesimon from the inside.

Gulus Gammamon reappears in the following and final episodes, "The Black Dragon of Destruction" and "The Devourer of All", finally making direct contact with Gammamon, seemingly plunging him into despair and taking control. Bloom Lordmon recognized Gulus Gammamon as the source of the corruption of the Digital World, which the latter confirmed and revealed the corruption to be the Gulus Realm Burst (GRB), which strengthens Digimon but causes the infected Digimon's fighting instincts to take over and run wild. Gulus Gammamon then revealed he scattered GRB Factor all over the Digital World during the period Gammamon traveled with Amanokawa Hokuto to create an army of powerful Digimon, before declaring that the time had come and evolving into Regulusmon to fight Bloom Lordmon.

Gulus Gammamon as Regulusmon in Digimon Ghost Game.

As Regulusmon, he reiterated his philosophy is to eat or be eaten, and that he had spread GRB to enforce that philosophy. During the fight, Hiro syncs with Regulusmon as a ruse to allow him to bring Gammamon back, which resulted in the group and Bloom Lordmon being brought into Gammamon's internal dimension, where Regulusmon and Canoweissmon separate into two entities. Enraged, Regulusmon confronts Siriusmon, Amphimon, and Diarbbitmon. During the battle, a furious Regulusmon can fatally injure Siriusmon despite being Perfect Level and make his last attempt to take his body back, but Hiro reconnected with Gammamon and healed him with the aid of Quantumon. Gammamon then lands a series of successive attacks in his various evolved forms, before evolving to Siriusmon again and finally defeating Regulusmon with his ultimate move, Planet Knuckle.

Upon his defeat, Regulusmon would revert to Gulus Gammamon. Although he intended to continue fighting, Gulus Gammamon was swiftly consumed by Siriusmon, uniting the two personalities within Gammamon once more. He realizes that Gammamon's true intention is to become friends with him because they are also part of each other, like siblings. Having decisively lost and by his worldview, Gulus Gammamon would reluctantly abide by Gammamon's rules and released a cure for the GRB corrosion, restoring the Digital World. His personality later reemerged as Gammamon during the meeting with Quantumon, explaining that he had come from a distant planet and had spread the GRB in anticipation of the apocalyptic threat that had destroyed his planet and would arrive on Earth in the distant future.
