Cheetahkatatsumuri (チーターカタツムリ, Chītā Katatsumuri, lit. "Cheetah Snail") is a cheetah/snail monster of Shocker. He is also the alternate reality version of Genpachiro Otta.
History[]
Super Hero Taisen GP[]
In an alternate world created by the History Modifying Machine where Kamen Rider 3 killed the Double Riders 1 and 2, Shocker managed to achieve complete world domination. Genpachiro Otta is a lieutenant of Shocker and had been remodeled as one of their cyborg monsters, Cheetahkatatsumuri.
During the Kamen Riders' final battle against Shocker, Cheetahkatatsumuri immobilizes Deadheat Mach with his slime, allowing an opening for several Shocker monsters to bombard Mach with their combined power, resulting in Go's death. However, Cheetahkatatsumuri is soon after confronted by the three Riders, #3, #2, and #1. Beaten back by the former Shocker cyborgs, Cheetahkatatsumuri is destroyed by their combined Rider Triple Kick. [Super Hero Taisen GP: Kamen Rider 3]
Kamen Rider 4[]
When the timeline was seemingly fixed, Shocker still remains in existence, and Cheetahkatatsumuri (no longer being an identity of Genpachiro) as well responsible in one of Go's death during Shinnosuke's Déjà vu.

Notes[]
- Along with the Arimammoth, they are the only two yellow-boots monsters who has the Shocker Belt.
- Being the combination of cheetah and snail, Cheetahkatatsumuri's existance is ironic, since both individual components have great differences in their reputations for their speed.
- While the explosive death of monsters, a common trope in tokusatsu, has been previously been shown to be a dangerous phenomenon, particularly with the Gurongi in Kamen Rider Kuuga, Cheetahkatatsumuri is the only monster known to have exploited his impending doom to take out someone else.
