Profile

An Armor Aquatic Digimon that has Digivolved with the Digi-Egg of Reliability. Mantaraymon’s form resembles that of an aggressive speed-type Digimon, but it is a calm creature that swims leisurely through the wide Net Ocean. Even so, its special shape makes it difficult to pick up on radar, earning it the nickname “Stealth of the Deep.” Many abuse Mantaraymon by putting it to work for reconnaissance or underwater bombing raids. This is said to have led to its overfishing, almost to extinction. Digimon who attack Mantaraymon are countered by a ferocious strike of the electroacupuncture Stun Needle on its tail. Its special move Paralyze Tail uses the Stun Needle to stab the bodies of enemy Digimon.

■Effects of the X Antibody on Mantaraymon’s DigiCore:
Any and all stealth capabilities have been improved to prevent it from being discovered by other Digimon. The level structure of its body makes Mantraymon (X Antibody) harder to detect on enemy radars, and it uses emissions to confuse their sense of smell, as well as its ability to move while barely making any sound. Its body is not invisible, however, so its eyesight has improved to enable it to spot enemies first, and it now makes evasive maneuvers in advance of an approaching foe. These abilities make Mantaraymon (X Antibody) hard to capture even if you know there’s one nearby. Even so, one can instantly grasp its whereabouts from the light of Stun Needle, as well as the electrified explosives of Paralyze Bomb, its new special move.
