Thetismon is an Aquabeast Digimon. It is a Digimon that has taken the form of a woman. It was discovered in the deepest trenches of the Net Ocean, the birthplace of Digimon. Thetismon brings peace and tranquility to its own vast territory and lays down the law on any Digimon that dare to disturb it. It has an ingrained need to help the weak and weaken the strong. As such, while it shows no mercy to Digimon who threaten its territory, it is kind to those in need of help, guiding them to safety. Thetismon eliminates invaders with its special moves.[3]
