Whamon (Digiranger)

The Digirangers first encountered Whamon (ホエーモン Hoēmon) when they were on their way to the Continent of Server, though it was not in better condition. Whamon was infected with a Black Gear & he swallowed them. When they came to rest in his stomach, they discovered a Black Gear embedded inside him. Taichi used his Digivice to destroy it, freeing Whamon from its influence. He shot them out his blowhole, but their raft was shattered in the process. To make it up to them, he would take them to Server. When they asked if he knew anything about the Tags, he mentioned that he had seen Devimon hide something underwater once, some time ago. The kids climbed inside him, & he took them to an underwater cavern, where they found their Tags after freeing Drimogemon from the Black Gear. He then carried them the rest of the way to Server.

The Digirangers later meet Whamon again when they were cornered by the Dark Master MetalSeadramon. Whamon arrived just in time to save them, carrying them off to the depths of the Net Ocean. After evading the Hangyomon, Whamon then brought the Digirangers to the surface, but they were immediately attacked again by MetalSeadramon. Whamon used his Tidal Wave attack to wash away the straggling Hangyomon, & then, when War DigiOrange & WarGreymon was caught between MetalSeadramon's jaws, saved him by head butting the villain. Enraged, MetalSeadramon fired his Ultimate Stream attack at Whamon, ripping a hole through his skull & fatally injuring him. However, his death avenged right away as War DigiOrange & WarGreymon then used their Great Tornado, ripping through MetalSeadramon's body & killing him. As Whamon slowly died, he implored the Digirangers to save the world.

Whamon would later make a return appearance in Bouken Sentai Digiranger 02, saving most of the new Digirangers from being trapped in an offshore oil rig which was being attacked by a MegaSeadramon under the influence of the Digimon Kaiser.
