Dolphmon is a Sea Animal Digimon. A unique signal that originated within software for researching communication between different kinds of groups changed into Dolphmon, a Digimon with a unique existence. Due to its habitat being limited to the sea, it became able to move about the sea at high speeds. As expected from its appearance, it possesses advanced intelligence, but its form of thought is too complex for a normal person to understand. Although it is a species that doesn't like useless battles, it won't go easy against an opponent that comes and challenges it.[3]

Digimon Adventure:
Digimon Liberator
During a Deep Savers NPC's duel against Close, the NPC had used EX8-020: Dolphmon at some point. CHAIN OF LIBERATION (Part 1) It also had a EX8-027: Plesiomon in its Breeding Area, who was a Dolphmon at some point. CHAIN OF LIBERATION (Part 2) The NPC has Dolphmon attack Close directly, with it checking EX8-050: Gogmamon. Dolphmon was weaker, but survived due to the inherited Jamming effect of EX8-017: Crabmon. It then digivolves Dolphmon to EX8-024: MegaSeadramon CHAIN OF LIBERATION (Part 1). Later in the duel, Close uses the effect of EX8-055: Pyramidimon to trash three of P-144: Gotsumon (X Antibody)'s digivolution sources. These were two EX8-051: Proganomon and a EX8-048: Landramon. They used their trash effects, with the Proganomon de-digivolving Plesiomon back down to Dolphmon — with Landramon's effect then destroying Dolphmon. CHAIN OF LIBERATION (Part 2)
