Tapirmon

The first Tapirmon the kids met was a waiter in Digitamamon’s Chinese restaurant. He served Mummymon and Arukenimon their soup, but refused to divulge its contents when they wanted to know the recipe. When the DigiDestined arrived, a fight almost broke out, but Arukenimon and Mummymon left to chase down the fleeing Digitamamon and Tapirmon. They followed them to a nearby forest, where they came across a natural spring – the spring where Digitamamon got his soup from, which had been transformed by the power of the final Destiny Stone. As Mummymon bent over to sample it, Tapirmon and Digitamamon burst from the bushes to stop him, but he bandaged them up and drank from the spring, causing the Destiny Stone to come to the surface. When the DigiDestined andBlackWarGreymon arrived on the scene, Tapirmon and Digitamamon held of Arukenimon and Mummymon so the kids could protect the stone. Later, Digitamamon invited them all back to the restaurant for a meal.

Another Tapirmon appeared during the final battle with MaloMyotismon.

A Tapirmon first appears in “Stone Soup.” It's voice is supplied by Paul St. Peter.
