The Roidmudes (ロイミュード) are the antagonists of Kamen Rider Drive. They are a race of 108 artificial life forms that plot to destroy the world, evolving by absorbing information and stealing the best physical attributes of human beings. If the target is too weak, the Roidmude cannot evolve, and so to circumvent this, a Roidmude can control their targets to enhance their desires and lead to evolution, though this is not a very stable evolution.

The Roidmudes are capable of slowing down time itself to a crawl known as the Heavy Acceleration phenomenon, which slows down everything in it except for Roidmudes and Kamen Rider Drive and his equipment. They are covered by a membrane similar to the human cerebral cortex that allows them to disguise themselves, as well as camouflaging the particles emitted from the Heavy Acceleration phenomenon that the Roidmudes are so fond of exploiting.

They are given numbers to distinguish themselves from each other (and are pronounced individually; i.e., 029 is Zero-Two-Nine), to which literally ties into their life, functioning like souls. If these numbers, called Cores (コア) by the Drive Driver, are destroyed, the Roidmude is dead permanently, but so long as the Core is still around, a Roidmude can respawn after some rest.

So far, there are three types of Low-Class Roidmudes (下級ロイミュード): Cobra types, Spider types, and Bat types.

Like Drive's method of transformation, minor Roidmudes evolve using dark versions of the Shift Cars called Viral Cores (バイラルコア), which evolve the specific type of Roidmude tied to the Viral Core into a Advanced Roidmude (上級ロイミュード). If minor Roidmude use more than one Viral Cores at one time, they will change into a more bigger and powerful form known as a Giant Form (巨大形態). Doing so, it will increase the Roidmudes' strength but it will cost their intelligence.

Another way of evolving without the Viral Cores is by forming a pact with a human. By granting the host's desires, the Roidmudes can evolve into a unique evolution. However, the Roidmudes' evolved form is much more unstable so they must keep fulfill the host's desires. After their transformation is stable enough however, the Roidmudes won't hold back to kill their host.
