Mantaraymon

Mantaraymon is a Sea Animal Digimon. It armor-digivolved through the power of the "Digi-Egg of Reliability". Based on its appearance, it looks like an offensive speed-type Digimon, but actually it's the opposite; it is a Digimon with a calm disposition that elegantly swims in the vast Net Ocean. However, it is difficult to capture on radar because of its unique figure and is called the "Stealth of the Deep", and it is often used for reconnaissance or treated as an underwater bomber among those who abuse Mantaraymon. For that reason, it is said to be overfished and threatened with extinction. Also, Digimon that assault Mantaraymon are counterattacked with an intense blow from the "Stun Needle" on its tail.
