Cube Whale (キューブホエール Kyūbu Hoēru) is the red Zyuoh Cube of Zyuoh Whale, which is known as the Legendary Megabeast (伝説の巨獣 Densetsu no Kyojū), modeled after a sperm whale. It can transform into the robot form named Dodekai-Oh and it also can combine with nine Zyuoh Cubes and the main four auxiliary Zyuoh Cube into Wild Tousai Dodeka King, forming the upper body and head of the combination.
Overview[]
Armed with a pair of Torpedo Cannons, Cube Whale is able to travel either underwater or through the sky while its massive size enables it to smash through enemies or deliver a tail slap powerful enough to break apart ZyuohWild Special. It also possesses innate sacred abilities, being able to purify a wide expanse of coastline that had been contaminated by Bangray's poison.

History[]
Long ago, when the Zyumans first appeared on Earth and before their emigration to Zyuland, a fearsome monster attacked the Earth. When a lone Whale Zyuman named Cetus chose to stand against it, the Earth bestowed upon him the Whale Change Gun along with Cube Whale, allowing Cetus to become Zyuoh Whale, the first Zyuohger.
Centuries later, Cube Whale resurfaced when the modern day Zyuohgers found the Whale Change Gun but when approached by them reacted with hostility, considering them a group of upstarts who felt entitled to his help simply because they had found Cetus' weapon. Ultimately, after Yamato understood the bond that Cube Whale shared with Cetus and it saw that the Zyuohgers truly shared Cetus's desire to protect the world and all forms of life in it, Cube Whale finally accepted them as its comrades, and with Yamato's help became Dodekai-Oh for the first time to destroy Gift Custom.
Despite joining them as a new ally, the Zyuohgers were very reluctant in letting it join them in a fight, particularly when Bangray was still out hunting for it. As a result, it became resentful and at one point even angrily rammed Yamato in the face when they returned. This ended up making the Zyuohgers resort to tying Cube Whale in Yamato's room to keep it safe, though Yamato himself would soon be captured. For the safe return of Yamato, Bangray ordered the Zyuohgers to hand Cube Whale over at Mutsume Valley. Cube Whale escaped the Atelier Mori and attempted to go alone but was stopped by the Zyuohgers with Misao understanding Cube Whale's devotion, Yamato being the first friend he had made in a long time, as the team made a plan to recover him together. Arriving as told at noon, Cube Whale, who was forbidden from growing to full size lest Yamato be killed, was handed over to Bangray by Amu. Though the Zyuohgers were seemingly annihilated by the firepower of the Yaban Great piloted by Quval thereafter, having anticipated that Bangray would not keep his promise, they soon made their return from behind having had Cube Mogura allow them to escape underground. With Bangray taken off-guard as Yamato was set free by the Zyuohgers, Cube Whale forcibly escaped his grasp before assuming its true size, proceeding to engage the Yaban Great which was soon destroyed by his Torpedo Cannons. When Bangray enlarged after being defeated by the Zyuohgers, Cube Whale became the centerpiece of the ultimate combination, Doubutsu Dai Gattai Wild Tousai Dodeka King, as it was formed for the first time, allowing the Zyuohgers to finally destroy Bangray.
