Description
Biyomon resembles a large, pink bird with blue-tipped feathers on her head, and a ring on one of her legs. In the Japanese version of the anime, Biyomon often talks in the third person tone and saying "Sora is" where one would normally say "You are".
Attacks
- Spiral Twister (Magical Fire): Biyomon flaps her wings and creates a green flame, which is shot out as a spiraling inferno.
Appearance
Biyomon first appears in her In-Training form, Yokomon before she digivolves to protect Sora from Kuwagamon. Soon after, through her bonds to Sora, Biyomon gains the ability to digivolve to Birdramon, and then Garudamon with Sora's Crest of Love. Biyomon also appears in the sequel season Digimon Adventure 02. In this season, Biyomon had lost the power to Digivolve into Garudamon. When the Digimon Emperor was conquering the Digital World, Biyomon was among the old generation Digimon who helped the new Digi-Destined team out. Like many of the first generation Digi-Destined, she became the protector of a certain area in the Digital World. Biyomon later appears in the real world in Christmas Day as a "present" for the original Digi-Destined organized by Davis and the other newer Digi-Destined. With the power from Azulongmon's Digi-Cores, she gains the ability to Digivolve to ultimate again.
Other forms
The name "Biyomon" refers only to the Rookie form of this Digimon. Throughout the series, Biyomon 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 her preferred form and the one she spends most of her time in, due to the amount of energy required to stay in a higher form.
Nyokimon
Nyokimon (ニョキモン)
Nyokimon is Biyomon's Fresh form. Nyokimon is a small black seed with green leaves sprouting out of her head. Her name comes from the Japanese word "nyokinyoki", meaning "plants sprouting one after another". Nyokimon appears in Digimon Adventure as Biyomon's Fresh form during a flashback of when the Digi-Eggs first hatched on File Island.[2]
Attacks

Yokomon
Yokomon (ピョコモン Pyocomon)Yokomon is Biyomon's In-Training form. The name "Yokomon" comes from "pyokopyoko", a Japanese word meaning to dance and hop about. Yokomon is a pink bulb-shaped Digimon with a big blue flower blooming on her head.
Biyomon was in this form on when she first met Sora before she digivolved into her preferred form to protect Sora from Kuwagamon. From then on, Biyomon temporarily reverted to Yokomon only when she ran out of energy as Garudamon and could not sustain her Rookie form. In that case, during the battle with Myotismon's group, Yokomon pretended to be a stuffed animal to conceal their secret.[3]
Attacks
- Bubble Blow: Fires out pink bubbles at enemies.
Birdramon
Birdramon (バ-ドラモン )Birdramon is a giant bird Digimon that is Biyomon's Champion form. phoenix-like in appearance, Birdramon's body is covered in flame and she is both brave and strong in battle. Biyomon Digivolved into Birdramon for the first to defend the Yokomon Village from a Meramon who was controlled by a Black Gear. She also appeared to fight against Devimon, Etemon, Myotismon and the Dark Masters. Biyomon digivolves again to Birdramon in Digimon Adventure 02 to help destroy the Digimon Emperor's Control Spires.[4]

Garudamon
Garudamon (ガルダモン)Garudamon redirects here. This section refers to the Garudamon featured in Digimon Adventure/02. For the Garudamon in Digimon Savers, see Biyomon (Savers).Garudamon is a Birdman Digimon that is Biyomon's Ultimate form. Her form and name are derived from the mythological Hindu creature Garuda. Garudamon possesses giant talons and wings that let make able to fight on land and air. Though poisoned by DemiDevimon's dart, Biyomon's determination to protect Sora from Myotismon causes her partner to realize what love is and she gives her the power to digivolve to Garudamon, managing to get the DigiDestined away from Myotismon. Since then, Garudamon was used to battle Myotismon and then the Dark Masters and Apocalymon. When Sora used the crest power to free the Digimon Sovereigns, Biyomon lost the power to become Garudamon until three years later, when Azulongmon gave one of his DigiCores to the DigiDestined Digimon. This allowed them to Digivolve to their ultimate forms again. Garudamon appeared this time in Moscow to help the Russian DigiDestined fight against a swarm of Flymon and a stampede of Mammothmon. [5]
