This article is about a monster in Kamen Rider, the original series. |
Crabubbler (カニバブラー, Kanibaburā, 19, 37 & Rider vs Shocker) - A crab monster. Can attack with a large claw on his left hand and release bubbles from his mouth that melt human beings upon contact. His combatants have machine guns that shoot similar projectiles. His personal emblem, worn on his combatants' masks, is a crab. Crabubbler attacked various locations around Japan, but Kamen Rider 2 eventually tracked his underwater base and faced him head-on. After his bubble attack failed, He was destroyed by Kamen Rider 2's Rider Punch.
Crabubbler was resurrected later, in episode 37, participating in an operation to kidnap children and test killer plants on them, coordinated by Colonel Zol. However, Kazuya Taki saved the kids and activated the killer plant on Crabubbler and his companions, destroying them.
Crabubbler also made a brief return appearance in the monster army of the Kamen Rider vs. Shocker movie but did not actually have an active participation there.
