|
Culex Worm (キュレックスワーム, Kyurekkusu Wāmu, 29 & 30): Posed as Ichiro Ikesu (生簀 一郎, Ikesu Ichirō), a master of the dark cooking arts that can manipulate emotion. He was armed with a proboscis that could drain humans of blood and use mind control by injecting a virus from his left hand stinger. Using the legendary Black Knife, Culex Worm/Ichiro intended to take over the world with his cooking. But Soji Tendo stopped him, regardless of having attained the legendary White Knife. Culex Worm intended to kill Tendo to obtain the memories of his cooking skills, only to be destroyed by Kabuto's Rider Kick.
Kamen Rider Decade
A Culex Worm was part of a group of four Worms that attempted to kill Natsumi Hikari, first appearing to her while copying her form, during the destruction of the worlds before Tsukasa Kadoya became Decade for the first time. They were all quickly destroyed by Decade as Kamen Ride: Kabuto. [Rider War (episode)]
Kamen Rider Wizard
A Culex Worm was one of Amadum's monsters in the world within the Magic Stone. It first appears as one of two Salis Worms that try to take the chest containing the 13 Rider Rings to Amadum, while it is held by Haruto. They grab him and drag him holding the chest, quickly moving through various points throughout the city. When the young boy summons Faiz and Kabuto, the two Worms let go of Haruto and molt to their stronger forms (Culex Worm's fellow molting to the Cammarus Worm), speeding off to face the Riders. Joined by Musca Worm, they fight Faiz Axel and Kabuto in a super-speed battle across the city which ends right next to Double and Fourze's battle with Masquerade Dopants and Stardust Ninja Dustards. Culex Worm and Cammarus Worm are destroyed by Kabuto's Rider Kick. [The Kamen Rider Rings]
