Worm (Kamen Rider)

The antagonist of Kamen Rider Kabuto. These creatures came from meteorites of unknown origin. There are two seperate groups of Worms, the first ones called Native which arrived on Earth 35 years prior to the series and the second group which came from a meteor destroying the city district of Shibuya seven years prior to the series' timeline. It was mention in the movie that the second meteor is actually just fragment of larger one.

Worms attempt to blend into the human population by copying the bodies of their victims along with their memories. They only need to look at the human to copy their image, but once done so, they attempt to kill the original. However, the Worms believe the person that was mimicked now exists as a part of them due the fact they also acquired their victims' personalities. Despite being able to copy both image and memory, they are unable to copy certain things such as scent; in addition, their disguises can be neutralize by chemicals, such as makeup.
