Trailmon

Trailmon is a Digimon from the Digimon series. They serve as transportion in Digimon Frontier. They resemble trains and have the ability to connect the real world to the Digital World. There are several types of Trailmon who differ vastly in appearance; however there are sometimes more than one Trailmon of each type, as shown when the DigiDestined encounter an old Angler. All of the Trailmon (except Ball the Trailmon who has no dialogue) are played by Dave Wittenberg.
