>>20477687>>20477732In digimon there is not a "one true evolution line", even if it kinda looks like it.
Salamon can evolve, among others, into a Gatomon, Black Gatomon, Angemon, ExVeemon, Veedramon, Mikemon, Nefertimon, Lynxmon and Unimon.
Considering Salamon evolves into Gatomon, the new choices are Angewomon, Nefertimon, WereGarurumon, Bastemon, Betsumon, Jagamon, Lilamon, Lilymon, Pandamon, Sanzomon, LadyDevimon and NeoDevimon.
Now let's assume Gatomon goes the Angewomon line. Now, the choices are Magnadramon, Ophanimon, Lilithmon, Babamon, Clavis Angemon, Rosemon, Seraphimon, among others.
And keep in mind those lists aren't exhaustive, they're just examples.
Now, regarding lore, Magnadramon has no holy ring, so it's the result of Gatomon evolving without the ring on its tail. Ophanimon on the other hand is the result of Gatomon evolving with the holy ring.
