[[Category:(Ja:) Aquatic, Aquatic Mammal
(En:) Sea Animal type]]

Whamon is a Sea Animal Digimon. It lives in the deep oceans of the Net, and has a large build. Its enormity is of the highest class in the Digital World, and due to that enormity, it carries a volume of data that couldn't be processed by a normal computer. Although it has been possible to confirm it as the same species as those in File Island's coastal waters, this Whamon, which lives off of Folder Continent's coast, and whose appearance is totally the same, has surpassed the previous in both offensive ability and vitality, and accomplished a digivolution to Ultimate.[7] There is a phantom "White Whamon", which is being pursued by Hookmon.[8]

Attacks

  • Blasting Spout / Jet Arrow: Shoots a jet of water from his blowhole.
  • Tidal Wave: Generates a giant tidal wave that destroys everything.
  • Mouth-clamping Attack (口ではさむこうげき Kuchi de Hasamu Kougeki?)

Design

Whamon is essentially a large sperm whale-like Digimon that has a brown shell on its head and back with visible spinal cord and ribs. It's eyes have degenerated[9] and it has cables in place of them. It has three pairs of fins with the dorsal fins being the largest. The phantom "White Whamon" pursued by Hookmon is a reference to Moby-Dick.

In Digimon Fusion, KingWhamon is whitish grey. The only known land mass of the Island Zone, King Whamon Island, is fused with its shell which has expanded to cover its lower jaw. This is likely a reference to the mythical aspidochelone.
