Acarina Worm Amber (アキャリナワーム・アンバー, Akyarina Wāmu Anbā) was a Worm who posed as Daisuke Kazama in a both ZECT/Worm plot to kill off the real Daisuke and seize the power of Kamen Rider Drake.

History

He imitates Daisuke and fakes its death in human form to convince the other Riders that the real Daisuke is a Worm. After losing to the other four Riders, Daisuke lost the Drake Glip. Kageyama made it look like he was returning the Grip to Daisuke, but the Acarina Worm Amber instead takes the Drake Glip while disguised as Kazama and transforms with it. After Kabuto knocks the Drake Zecter Gun out of the Worm's hand, the Zecter flees, undoing the transformation, and Gon retrieves the Grip, returning it to the real Daisuke, who defeats the Worm. He was defeated by Drake's Rider Shooting and destroyed by punches then being slammed into the ground. When wielding the Drake Glip in battle, the Worm was left-handed while the real Daisuke was right-handed.

Drake's Masked Form (マスクドフォーム, Masukudo Fōmu) is a heavily armored form resembling a nymph that has very little offensive capabilities. This is the default form until the user pulls a trigger on the end of the Drake Zecter, initiating the Cast Off (キャストオフ, Kyasuto Ofu) command. Drake's Masked Form also has significant underwater capabilities.

Drake's Rider Form (ライダーフォーム, Raidā Fōmu) is the sleeker, faster, and more offensive form of Drake that morely resembles the dragonfly motif. In this form, Drake has access to the Clock Up (クロックアップ, Kurokku Appu) command which allows Drake to travel at near-light speeds to match the speeds of the Worms. However, he was more expertive in wielding the Drake Glip in left handed rather than right handed (real Daisuke) By folding back the wings on the Drake Zecter (the top halves forming a "scope" that can be used for targeting), Drake activates the Rider Shooting (ライダーシューティング, Raidā Shūtingu) attack.
