The Legendary Lifeform (伝説の生き物) is a minor, yet influential Gaiatchi character that debuted in the Tamagotchi! anime series.
Appearance[]
The legendary lifeform resembles a massive fish. Its body is a gradient of colors, starting with dark blue at the front, then lighter blue, green, yellow, and orange scales. It has two protruding blue and orange whiskers at its front, as well as small, purple eyes. Hidden from view is a small, yellow beak at the bottom of its head.
Inside it is a cavern of twisted stone brick, grass, and trees. It has a special control panel that allows any Tamagotchi standing on it to interact directly with Tamagotchi Planet. The creature is not only capable of traversing the vast oceans, but also can swim in the sky and in outer space.
Personality[]
Being a powerful mythical creature, the legendary lifeform spends most of its time in solitude, far from contact with the rest of the Tamagotchis. However, if the Planet is in danger, it will make itself known to help save it.
In the Anime[]
Tamagotchi![]
The legendary creature was first mentioned in the episode "The Adventures of Young Papamametchi". Papamametchi recalls to Mametchi a story from his youth, when he went out in search of the legendary creature. A storm damages his ship's sails, leaving him stranded in the open sea with a dwindling food supply. As he begins to lose hope, the creature suddenly swims under his ship, splashes out of the water, and them swims away in the sky. Awed by the experience, Papamametchi realized there were many more mysteries to the Tamagotchi Planet, and dedicated his life to researching them.
The creature is referenced again in a flashback in "Man of the Sea! Captain Goutchi Arrives". Captain Goutchi invites Papamametchi to sail with him again so they can both find the legendary creature in the southern sea, but after seeing how much Papamametchi cares for his son, decides it's better for him to stay.
GO-GO Tamagotchi![]
In "When Tamagottsun Ends", the legendary creature calls out to Mametchi as the distraught Tamagotchi Planet sparks more Tamagottsun events. Mametchi discovers a damaged Kuchipatchi of Truth outside of DoriTama School, leading him to find the legendary creature inside a water-filled cavern. Mametchi gathers his friends and classmates to the cavern, and they board the creature, which swims up the current of the Planet's tears into outer space.
In "Laughing, Laughing, Another Gottsun!", the group uses the control panel to interact with the Planet, until they eventually help the Planet become happy again. The creature thanks Mametchi and his friends before returning them to the Planet and departing to an unknown location. Following the end of Tamagottsun, Mametchi invents the DoriTama Rainbow, a train that travels between Tamagotchi Town and Dream Town, inspired by the creature.
