[edit] Appearance
This Agumon has a slightly different design to the original Agumon in Digimon Adventure. He is taller, with more teeth, longer claws, wider forearms, bigger muscles and red training bracers. Where Digimon Adventure's Agumon had well-defined nostrils and pectoral muscles, this Agumon has just two oval-shaped holes on the front of his muzzle and a flat chest. He is also much larger than previous Agumon, being almost as tall as a human adolescent.
A mistake can be seen occasionally throughout the series where Agumon has the same number of teeth of an original Agumon in Digimon Adventure.
[edit] Description
Agumon adores his partner Marcus, and considers himself to be "Marcus's employee" (follower in the original). He even refers to Marcus as his Boss (aniki in Japanese)
In the first episode, he is referred to by the code-name of Raptor-1 by DATS.
This Agumon in particular holds true to the given description of a common Agumon being somewhat aggressive.
Being the main digimon character in the series, Agumon is always the first amongst the partner digimon to reach a new level. Unlike the other partner digimon in Digimon Data Squad, Agumon was easily accepted into Marcus' family when he was discovered, and is even given free rein of the Damon household [1].
In the final episode, Marcus' DNA gives Agumon a new appearance. An outline of a dragon surrounds him, and he is given fiery bird-like wings and a dragon-like tail. In addition, Marcus can ride him, using straps attached to Agumon's wristbands to control his movements. Whether this is a super charge of Marcus' DNA or a new digivolution stage is unknown. Fans like to refer to him as "Agumon Burst Mode".
Attacks
- Pepper Breath (Baby Flame): Agumon shoots an orange fireball of varying strength from his mouth.
- Spitfire Blast (Baby Burner): This attack uses a more powerful stream of fire than Pepper Breath.
[edit] Other forms
The name "Agumon" refers only to the Rookie form of this Digimon. Throughout the series, Agumon gains the ability to Digivolve into a number of more powerful forms, each with a different name and special attack. However, the Rookie level is his preferred one and the one he spends most of his time in.
[edit] KoromonThis section refers to the Koromon featured in Digimon Data Squad. For the Koromon in Digimon Adventure/02, see Agumon. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the Koromon seen in Digimon Adventure is identical to that in Digimon Savers/Data Squad
Koromon is Agumon's In-Training form. The name "Koromon" derives from the Japanese word "Korokoro", meaning “something small, round, and rolling.” He is a pink, ball-shaped Digimon with floppy ears, bright-red eyes and sharp teeth. He is approximately a foot tall. Agumon appears once in this form during the fight against Belphemon. Attacks

[edit] Agumon Burst FormAgumon Burst Form was only seen against King Drasil, in this form both Agumon and Marcus Damon were able to destroy King Drasil in its true form. Like ShineGreymon Burst Mode he glows a fiery red. He also grows a fiery bird-like tail and wings. [edit] GeoGreymonGeoGreymon is Agumon's Champion (adult in the original japanese) level form. GeoGreymon's appearance is similar to Greymon, but with red markings on the sides of his helmet and arms, a more well-defined chest, a longer tail, and different body markings. GeoGreymon first appears during Agumon and Marcus' fight against a large Kokatorimon. This is when Marcus activated his DNA for the first time. Marcus was given his Digivice iC, and with it, he was able to help Agumon digivolve into GeoGreymon for the first time. GeoGreymon's name comes from the Latin word "Geo," meaning "Stone," or "Earth," and "Grey," which is most likely a misspelling of the word "Great." Attacks

[edit] RizeGreymonRizeGreymon is Agumon's Ultimate (perfect in the original japanese) form. During digivolution to RizeGreymon, Marcus' digivice iC reads Perfect Evolution, most likely in accordance with the Japanese name. RizeGreymon first appears during the fight against Garudamon. Marcus' own frustration over the uneasiness of his friends and family caused him to evoke the power GeoGreymon needed to digivolve into RiseGreymon[2]. RiseGreymon is the Savers equivalent of Tai's MetalGreymon, featuring similar aspects. More than half of RiseGreymon's body is mechanical. Attacks

[edit] ShineGreymonShineGreymon is Agumon's Mega form (ultimate in the original japanese). ShineGreymon is first seen during the fight against Kurata's group of BioDigimon. Marcus' DNA super-powered RizeGreymon, causing a silhouette of ShineGreymon to appear around RizeGreymon. ShineGreymon was properly introduced in the next episode, along with MirageGaogamon and Rosemon after the Digimon Data Squad team learns how to harness this new power could be compared to WarGreymon from Digimon Adventure/01.

[edit] ShineGreymon Ruin ModeShineGreymon Ruin Mode is said to be the corrupted form of his Burst Mode. The first time ShineGreymon changed mode, it was into Ruin Mode, a corrupted version of the true Burst Mode. This occurred during ShineGreymon's battle with MirageGaogamon, when Marcus' dark emotions caused ShineGreymon to go through Burst Digivolution. ShineGreymon Ruin Mode went out of control until it regressed back to a Digi-Egg (which later hatches into Agumon's In-Training form, Koromon). This dark ruin digivolution could be likened to the occasion in Digimon Adventure when Greymon dark digivolved into SkullGreymon, as well as the occasion in Digimon Tamers when WarGrowlmon dark digivolved into Megidramon. The biggest link was that all three dark digivolutions fed on the negative emotions of their human partners. Attacks

[edit] ShineGreymon Burst ModeShineGreymon Burst Mode is the Burst Digivolved form of ShineGreymon. Marcus manages to activate ShineGreymon's true Burst Mode again later in the battle against Belphemon, this time, ShineGreymon properly transforms into his Burst Mode and manages to defeat Belphemon. Marcus activates his DNA again during the DATS team's first encounter with the Royal Knights, allowing ShineGreymon to enter his Burst Mode again. However, this time, he is defeated by Gallantmon. He appeared later on facing the Royal Knight Craniummon in a one on one duel, but was defeated, until the rest of the Dat's arrived together defeating the Knight. He last appeared in the final confrontation against Yggdrasil along with the other DATS Digimon. ShineGreymon obtains this mode in episode 38. Attacks
