Whamon is a Sea Animal Digimon. Whamon inhabits the "Net Ocean" (the Network's ocean where Digimon are born). Since it lives in the deepest parts of the Net Ocean, it is rarely ever encountered (the organs in parts of it equivalent to its eyes have degenerated). Due to its ferocious personality, it will attack by generating an enormous tsunami.[5] There is a phantom "White Whamon", which is being pursued by Hookmon.[6]

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. Its eyes have degenerated[5] and it has cables in place of them. It has three pairs of fins with the pectoral fins being the largest. The Champion version appears to be slightly smaller than the Ultimate version. The phantom "White Whamon" pursued by Hookmon is a reference to Moby-Dick.
