==Description==
Gaomon first appears in episode three of [[Digimon Data Squad]]. He and his partner Thomas had arrived in Japan as a bunch of [[DemiMeramon]] where being found in the country. Gaomon is a very calm and quiet; in his first appearance in the Japanese version, his only dialogue consisted of answering "Yes master!" or "Sir yes sir" (in [[English language|English]]) to Thomas's orders.<ref>{{cite episode | title = Genius Tohma has returned!

* '''Rolling Upper''': Jumps into the air, spinning and striking his opponent with his fist.
* '''Speed Jab''' (''Gao Rush''): Rapidly punches an enemy.

==Other forms==
The name "Gaomon" refers to only the [[Digivolution#Digivolutionary Levels|rookie form]] of this digimon. Throughout the series, Gaomon gains the ability to [[Digivolution|Digivolve]] into a number of more powerful forms (each with a different name). The rookie form, however, is its most common and preferred form.

[[Image:Gaogamonscreenshot.jpg|thumb|Gaogamon (ガオガモン)]]

[[List of Champion Digimon (Part 2)#Gaogamon|Gaogamon]] is Gaomon's Champion form. His name is a combination of the [[Japanese language|Japanese]] [[onomatopoeia]]s "''Gao''" and "''Ga''," which are used to describe the sound of a growl. He resembles a large blue [[Akita Inu]] dog.

Gaomon first Digivolved to Gaogamon in order to fight a pack of [[DemiMeramon]]. From then on, he appears in battle often. He started off being rivals with [[GeoGreymon]], [[Marcus Damon]]'s Digimon partner. This rivalry caused them to let an enemy [[Drimogemon]] escape. The two later settled their differences in the fifth episode of the season, and was able to finish off Drimogemon (who, at that point, had digivolved into Digmon) together.

'''Attacks'''
* '''Spiral Blow''': Gaogamon shoots a tornado from his mouth.
* '''Dash Double Claw''': Gaogamon slashes his enemies with his claws in an "X" pattern.
* '''Flaming Tornado''': A twin attack with GeoGreymon. GeoGreymon fires his Mega Flame and Gaogamon fires his Spiral Blow which it fused together. Although they never use the name, that's what Marcus calls it because of its visual appearance.
* '''Gaoga Hound''': Grips the opponent with a bite.
