Gaomon

Gaomon is a Beast Digimon who resembles a bipedal dog with a fluffy tail. This particular Gaomon is Shard's Digimon partner. In Arc 3, Shard gave him her old headband when she got a new outfit. He has worn it since.

Personality
Gaomon is serious and smart, calm and collected, but often finds himself at a loss for words based on his Digidestin's actions. He has the uncanny ability to remain calm under pressure, except when that pressure is Shard-related, in which he becomes rather exasparated. Jakan suspects that he may have feelings for her, and he does seem to care about her a lot, doing everything in his power to protect her. Gaomon is a constant source of information regarding facts in the Digital World, since he has a lot of knowledge regarding it. He is also afraid of heights.

Digivolving
Gaomon is able to digivolve into Gaogamon with the help of his partner, Shard. Upon using her digivice, Gaomon was able to digivolve in order to help Ebidramon defeat Shellmon. After using it this first time, he was able to use it multiple times when needed in times of crisis.

After Shard was able to activate her crest in Primary Village, Gaomon was able to learn how to digivolve into his ultimate form, Machgaogamon. Using this form, he was able to defeat a falsely digivolved Megakabuterimon. After learning to do this, he is able to access this form whenever it is needed.

He also eventually learned how to digivolve to MirageGaogamon.

He also learned to Surge Digivolve to MirageGaogamon Burst Mode
