GulusGammamon is the evil form of Gammamon, Hiro Amanokawa's partner, and the main antagonist in Digimon Ghost Game. He has a further stage in the form of Regulusmon.
He is voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro, who also voices Mosquito Girl in One Punch Man, Beelzebul from Genshin Impact and Daki in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba.
Appearance[]
GulusGammamon is a black humanoid reptile with pink stripes, a blue cape fastened with a black belt, a set of horns on his head (in particular, a large yellow horn in the front of his head), sharp teeth, a red gem in his chest, sharp, red claws, large talons, and a tail ending in a yellow, spiked tip not unlike his talons in appearance.
As Regulusmon, he is a jet-black dragon that looks a lot like Canoweissmon. He has navy blue wings, and his cape acts as two more wings. He is armed with a shield that contains three lasers and acts as an extra mouth. His tail end has two gold spears.
Personality[]
GulusGammamon has a sassy and cruel personality that is cold, fatalistic, and more mature than Gammamon. He outright rejects his Gammamon identity, and feels no loyalty or kindness toward Hiro or any of the others. He strongly believes that "eat or be eaten" are the only two rules in the Digital World. He is also very murderous, and is willing to kill any enemy Digimon who threatens Hiro and his friends.
Biography[]
In "The Sewn-lip Man", A large shadowy form of GulusGammamon later appears when Clockmon uses Chrono Breaker on Gammamon, with its appearance frightening and distracting Clockmon long enough for Hiro to save Gammamon from the attack.
In "Executioner", Bokomon's demise at the hands of Sealsdramon caused a furious Gammamon to Dark Digivolve to GulusGammamon, where GulusGammamon snatched Sealsdramon and hoisted him up into the air and asks about what he is up to, and kills Sealsdramon with his Dead-End Skewer attack. GulusGammamon then tried to kill the main protagonists, but after remembering Bokomon's death, he devolved back into Gammamon.
In "The Spider's Lure", as Arukenimon was about to consume Gammamon's brains for her meal, he Dark Digivolves to GulusGammamon once again. Just as Arukenimon was about to attack him, he immediately seizes her mouth and kills her with his Death Demona attack, saving Hiro and his friends and freeing them from Arukenimon's web. When Hiro tries to talk to GulusGammamon, he stops him and states that he will talk to Hiro later before reverting back to Gammamon.
In "Human Hunter", after Gammamon found out that the red Oboromon mortally attacked Ruli and Hiro and sacrifices them to enhance their scarf power, he become angry and persistently rushes to the five Oboromon, even though he was stabbed by the green Oboromon. Then Gammamon outrages and Dark Digivolves to GulusGammamon for the third time. GulusGammamon kills the red Oboromon, freeing Hiro and Ruli, and also defeating the other four Oboromon and eating their colors one by one. Hiro orders GulusGammamon to stop before reverting to Gammamon again.
In "Jiraiya", as ShogunGekomon knocks Gammamon away while trying to save Koshiro, he gets furious and Dark Digivolves to GulusGammamon for the fourth time. As ShogunGekomon attacks GulusGammamon, he grabs his arm and throws him down. Then he violently assaults the giant frog, only to be stopped by Gekomon. It was then forced by GulusGammamon to release the victims (including Koshiro) from ShogunGekomon’s body. He then proceeds to kill both Gekomon and ShogunGekomon, only for Hiro to interfere and stop him, not before stating it will be a matter of time before reverting back to Gammamon.
In "The Black Dragon of Destruction", GulusGammamon takes over for Gammamon when confronted by Bloomlordmon, it was revealed that the dark force that infected the Digital World was actually caused by GulusGammamon, who intends to build an army of infected Digimon that will devour everything. GulusGammamon taunts Bloomlordmon before Super Digivolving to his powerful Ultimate form, Regulusmon. Regulusmon battles BloomLordmon in a vicious fight. Suddenly, thanks to Gammamon’s quick thinking, Regulusmon was pulled into Gammamon’s inner world thanks to Hiro’s Digivice, and Canoweissmon and Regulusmon were split into two entities. Furious at being separated from Canoweissmon, he viciously attacks him but Canoweissmon evolves into Siriusmon and fights Regulusmon along with Amphimon and Darbittmon, but Regulusmon tricks Siriusmon into fake surrendering and blasts a hole into his chest.
In "The Devourer of All", Regulusmon fatally wounds Siriusmon and drives him to the brink of death, intending to take back his body. But, Hiro enters his mind and saves Gammamon from being deleted. Siriusmon fights Regulusmon alone, overpowering him with all of Gammamon's evolution forms, breaking his jaw shield. Infuriated, Regulusmon attempts to destroy Siriusmon with hos Gran Tres attack, but Siriusmon was able to pass through the attack defeats Regulusmon with his secret attack, Planet Punch, reverting back to GulusGammamon. Siriusmon then devours GulusGammamon, where he accepts defeat and Gammamon makes peace with this dark Champion form and develops a cure for the infected Digimon. Later, GulusGammamon takes control of Gammamon's body briefly to reveal his past and the threat of the Endbringer, the real reason he tried to build his army.

Trivia[]
- Unlike SkullGreymon, Megidramon, and Machinedramon, who don't talk, GulusGammamon speaks, and Regulusmon speaks too.
- Unlike his light counterpart, his emblem on the digivice is red.
- Each time GulusGammamon appears, black Digimon (BlackAgumon, BlackGargomon and BlackGrowlmon) watches secretly. Later it was said that they were the watchers of GulusGammamon.
- According to the Digimon Reference Book, Regulusmon boasts power reminiscent of Megidramon, one of the famed Four Great Dragons.
- He is the first main antagonist to not be destroyed during the final battle, but to be redeemed also. He is also the first major antagonist to not be at the Mega level.
- Several fans expressed some disappointment with Regulusmon being a major antagonist rather than his mega form, Arcturusmon.
- Lack of frequent communication between the writers of Ghost Game and Bandai Namco were apparently to blame for this. The designs for Siriusmon, Diarbbitmon, Amphimon, and Regulusmon were ultimately those created and intended to be used by the writers of Ghost Game. When Gammamon gained its own archetype in the TCG and had an expanded roster for it's Vital Bracelet BE -VV- model, of which included not just Arcturusmon and Proximamon, but also entirely new Ultimate Level forms alongside the existing ones. Bandai Namco designed all of the other new forms for the line that never factored into the anime. As a result, by the time the writers ever learned that Bandai designed more forms for Gammamon, the conclusion to the series was already written out and proceeding as planned, with no room to implement any last second changes like they did for the Vital Bracelet BE -VV- itself. The Vital Bracelet BE -VV- was introduced as a last second change to the original plan too, but as it was a relatively simple modification to the existing Vital Bracelet -V- in terms of appearance, its inclusion in the anime was much easier to implement even at a last second note.
