Trailmon

Trailmon is a Digimon from the Digimon series. They serve as the transportation in Digimon Frontier. They resemble trains and have the ability to connect the real world to the Digital World. There are several types of Trailmon who differ vastly in appearance; however there are sometimes more than one Trailmon of each type, as shown when the DigiDestined encounter an old Angler in a Trailmon graveyard. All of the Trailmon (except Ball the Trailmon who has no dialogue) are played by Dave Wittenberg in the US Dub.

The latest model of Trailmon appeared in Digimon Next.

Worm the Trailmon
Japanese voice actor: Yanagisawa Eiji
 * Name origin: Worm slightly resembles a sort of caterpillar.

The Worm Trailmon carried all of the Digi-Destined except Koji Minamoto (who rode on Angler instead) to the Digital World for the first time. Worm also wins the Great Trailmon Race with Takuya. He also seems to be able to breathe fire as an attack or defense mechanism. The Digi-Destined hitched the most rides on Worm Trailmon among all the other Trailmon.

Angler the Trailmon

 * Color: light blue with one red eye
 * Seiyu: Kamibeppu Hitoshi(1st one), Daisuke Ishikawa (3rd)
 * Name origin: An angler is a type of fish with a phosphorescent appendage growing out of its head to lure its prey to it. This appendage looks exactly like the light sticking out of Angler's head.

Angler is the train that took Kouji to the Digital World. He is quite fond of chocolate. Another one was in the Trailmon Graveyard, where Zoe, J. P., and Tommy went to find information on the Rose Morning Star.

NOTE: Dave Wittenberg voices Angler the Trailmon in the style of Heimlich the Caterpillar from A Bug's Life.

Franken the Trailmon

 * Name origin: Frankenstein

Franken carries Kouji around the Digital World. He likes to sleep.

Mole the Trailmon

 * Color: pink with two green eyes
 * Seiyu: Romi Park
 * Name origin: He resembles a mole.

Mole is the only Trailmon that won't carry passengers because he is very ticklish. However, he does let Zoe Orimoto ride him during a race among the Trailmon.

Buffalo the Trailmon

 * Color: dusky purple with one green eye and three yellow horns
 * Seiyu: Tomoyuki Shimura

He laughs a lot and nearly runs over the DigiDestined in episode five - however they take a ride on him later, in episode 17. He bullies Worm during the race.

Ball the Trailmon

 * Color: lime green with one blue eye
 * Name origin: He's shaped like a ball.

The DigiDestined are shown riding Ball in the beginning of the movie Revival of the Ancient Digimon/Island of the Lost Digimon, and he is the first Trailmon to appear on a battle card (#Bo-99t). His attacks are Cool Running and Break Spark, and he can evolve from Hagurumon, ToyAgumon, or Solarmon.

Kettle the Trailmon

 * Color:yellow with two blue eyes
 * Seiyu:Sakaguchi Daisuke
 * Name origin: kettle

Kettle helps the DigiDestined - and Seraphimon's egg - escape from the evil human-spirit Digimon. However, Grumblemon and Arbormon spy on him and trace his route back to the DigiDestined.

Raccoon Dog the Trailmon

Raccoon Dog first appears in the Trailmon race.

Dark the Trailmon

 * Color: black with 5 red eyes
 * Seiyu: Kouji Ishii
 * Name origin: He is dark in color, and he runs from the Dark Terminal to the Digital World.
