Komanoto (ガードッグ Gādoggu) is the Adult form of Komainu. It evolves from Komainu, its Child form, and evolves into Komadoros, its Evolved form. Komanoto is a Spectrobe of the CoronaProperty in the first two games, and is a Spectrobe of the Fire Property in the third.
Komanoto is a red dog-like Spectrobe, with curly fur and large, curled ears (similar to the curl of a cinnamon bun). It has fangs, teeth and claws like any other dog, however its lips are light green. Also, it has 4 light-green shards between its brows, giving it a signature look when compared to other dog-like Spectrobes (such as Shimanoto).
Webisodes[]
A Komanoto appears in the Spectrobes webisodes starting with episode 8. Rallen had dug up a second Komainu before the events of the episode, and in it the Komainu is ready to evolve. The Komanoto battles with Rallen against the Krawl in episode 9, and he uses it in the final battle against the boss Krawl after using the Ultimate Form on it in episode 10.
