The Amazonz (アマゾン), disparagingly refered to as vermin (害虫), are the main antagonists later then turn into the a part Rider army of Kamen Rider Amazons. Amazonz is a generic name of the human-size homunculi created by Nozama Pharmacy, which are grown from a virus-size artificial lifeform called the Amazon Cell (アマゾン細胞). Their instinct to consume more human-based proteins so they usually hunt humans, or cannibalizing the other Amazonz in extreme cases.

History
Two years ago, there was an accident in Nozama Pharmacy's laboratory and about 4,000 human-eating Amazonz were unleashed in the city. To cover this accident, the Nozama Pharmacy formed a team of Amazon hunters, under the front of Nozama Peston Service, to hunt down the escaped Amazonz.

Later, Operation Tlaloc was designed and carried out in a bid to wipe out all of escaped Amazonz in one go. After the operation, the surviving Amazonz were led by Haruka Mizusawa along with Mamoru off to an unknown place to begin life anew.

About five years later. Mamoru spread the lysogenic Amazon cells in Aroma Ozone water dispensers.infecting humans by drinking the water, causing them mutate into new Amazonz.

Chou Super Hero Taisen
A Bat Amazon was among the Shocker army of the Game World led by Shocker Leader III, the boss of the Chou Shocker Taisen bonus stage. The army was ultimately wiped out by a combined force of Kamen Riders and.

Amazonz
There are a variety of types of the Amazonz. At least 4 types are confirmed.

Experiment Amazonz
These are the first created Amazonz, there are total of about 4000 of them.

These homunculi are entirely capable of blending into human society and feeding on a normal diet if their human-eating instincts are suppressed by specialized drugs. However, once the cells fully awakens, their instinct to consume humans take over and they become human-eating monsters. To make things worse, the process is entirely irreversible, resulting in killing them being the only way to avoid further casualties.

They are equipped with Amazonz Registers,which act as the supplier for specialized drugs and double as a marker,each of the registers have a unique "secret code" for the Nozama Peston Service to eliminate them.

Amazonz Riders
These type of Amazonz are not part of the 4000 experiment Amazonz released during the accident. They are of a unique type and created with unique different procedures.

All of them possess Amazons Driver to control their transformation.This Amazon type can have their physique strengthened with an Amazons Driver, changing their Amazon appearance from a wild beast-like appearance to a more streamlined humanoid-like appearance.With this,they can efficiently utilize their Amazon physique as a weapon. Therefore, they prefer not to transform without Drivers just like the other Amazonz.
 * Jin Takayama - Amazon Alpha, originally a human, he became an Amazon by injecting himself with Amazon Cells. Does not require an Amazonz Register to control the Amazon Cells.
 * Haruka Mizusawa - Amazon Omega, the third-generation Amazon to be created by Reika Mizusawa, created by genetically engineering Amazon Cells to include human DNA--her own genes in this particular case. Requires drugs within Amazonz Registers to control the Amazon Cells.
 * Chihiro - Amazon Neo, a natural half-Amazon possess human DNA.Requires an Neo Amazonz Register to control the Amazon Cells.

Sigma Type Amazonz
These type of Amazonz are created from human corpses,by transplanting a modified version of Amazon Cells into the body, reanimating and turning them into an Amazon devoid of emotion and sensation,unable to feel physical pain. they can be controlled through unknown means, but they do retain memories from their previous life. This Amazon type costs cheaper and can be developed faster, as there is no need to grow them from scratch. instead feeding on natural proteins, they are required continuous medical maintenance and examination.

Being corpse-based organisms,a side effect of of Sigma Type Amazonz is they can suppress the hunger of Amazonz by leaking their the presence. The more closer they become,the more hunger they will lose.This ability is often used on other Amazonz to fully control their hunger so they can eat whether they feel like it.

The procedure to create them was developed before the accident 2 years ago, but was subsequently discarded due to ethical problems
 * Jun Maehara - Amazon Sigma, a supposedly improved product of a project that was once scrapped due to ethical issues.Does not require an Amazonz Register to control the Amazon Cells. Yugo Tachibana from the Nozama Pharmacy restarted the research and has planned to collect more data to improve the project,thus able to mass-produce this type of Amazons, producing a batch of Amazonz soldiers. However the plan has been cancelled following Amazon Sigma's defeat, due to Takaaki Tenjo considering all living with no need to feed being less than garbage.
 * Iyu - Crow Amazon, the first Sigma Type created post-project. Due to confirmed deceased after operation,she is revived as an Amazon by injected with Amazon Cells. Requires an Neo Amazonz Register to control the Amazon Cells and transformation.

New type Amazonz
This type of Amazonz appears in Season 2 of the series, which is a type of Amazonz developed from humans infected by lysogenic Amazon cells. They sport thick black veins along the neck and shoulder area when the infection turns active, and get overwhelmed by urge to consume humans soon after, taking on their Amazon forms, killing and eating any humans they can find nearby. Unlike the case of Jin Takayama, who has no urge to feed on humans and very much in control of his Amazon nature and powers, the new type Amazonz have no control over of their Amazon nature and are human-feeding monsters, just like the 4000 Amazonz that escaped the laboratory. As with how the human-feeding urge gets irreversable in the usual Amazonz once their Amazon nature awakens, there is no cure for new type Amazonz once their infection become active, with killing them being the only way to stop further casualties.

As the lysogenic cells are responsible for the infection die immediately in an environment devoid of water, infections are incapable to take place through touch or airborne routes. These Amazonz are also confirmed to be incapable of infecting other humans, thereby confirming all infections share a single source. The said source was confirmed to be a small water dispenser company called Aroma Ozone, as background checks of all infected individuals indicated that they have all drank from water dispensers from this company. Half of the samples seized from a raid on one of the company's sales department have also been confirmed to be contaminated with these lysogenic cells.
