Garudamon

Group: Bird - Level:  Ultimate  - Type:  Vaccine  - Attack Technique: Wing Blade, Phoenix Claw Garudamon is the  Digivolved  form of  Birdramon, the  Champion  level  Digimon  partner of  Sora  of the  DigiDestined. Birdramon first Digivolved to Garudamon when  Myotismon  first appeared to attack the kids. Sora, having a bad relationship with her mother, initially had tried to prevent  Biyomon  from getting close to her, in case their relationship wound up the same way. DemiDevimon  had told her that her  Crest  would never glow because she didn't know what love was. Despite Sora's attempts to make it glow by proving her love for the other DigiDestined, it seemed DemiDevimon was right. When Myotismon attacked the team, Biyomon had been wounded by DemiDevimon's Demi Dart attack, but was determined to protect Sora from Myotismon. Sora's refusal to allow her to fight made her realise that she did know what love was, and that she felt it for Biyomon. Biyomon Digivolved to Birdramon, and then Sora's love allowed her to Digivolve to Garudamon to beat Myotismon back. When the kids returned to the real world to stop Myotismon's plans to destroy the Eighth Child - the predestined eighth member of the DigiDestined - Biyomon accompanied her, and Digivolved to Garudamon several times to fight Myotismon's henchmen. Garudamon partook in the final battle with Myotismon. Biyomon then returned to the  DigiWorld  with everyone else and Digivolved to Garudamon for the first battle with the  Dark Masters. She Digivolved again to battle  Puppetmon  and his mansion, and then again to battle  Piedmon (wherein she was transformed into a key chain, but restored by  MagnaAngemon )and  Apocalymon. In May 2000, Biyomon and the other Digimon lost the ability to Digivolve to Ultimate, when Sora and the other kids gave up the powers of their Crests to seal the DigiWorld off from evil. Four years later, on Christmas Eve, Biyomon and the other Digimon had their lost ability restored to them by  Gennai, who gave them a power boost from one of Azulongmon 's Digi-Cores. Biyomon then travelled to Russia with Sora,  Yolei  and  Hawkmon, where she Digivolved into Garudamon, and battled a swarm of Flymon  with help from  Aquilamon , and the Russian DigiDestined  Anna ,  Sonya  and  Yuri , and their Digimon. She then helped take down a squad of Mammothmon. Garudamon returned to  Odaiba  to help out in the battle with  SkullSatamon, one of  Daemon 's minions. However, she and the other Ultimate were defeated, and sacrificed their power again to energise  Imperialdramon, allowing him to  Mode Change  to his Fighter Mode and destroy SkullSatamon. With her power to go Ultimate gone once more, Biyomon did not become Garudamon again. Garudamon first appears in "Sora's Crest of Love." Her voice is supplied by Melodee Spevack. Note that at no point during Digimon Adventure 02 do we get to see her Digivolution sequence. Name: "Garuda" was a half-bird, half-human creature in Hindu mythology.
