Disk Animal (ディスクアニマル, Disuku Animaru), or DA, is a support monster used by the Oni Kamen Rider, a kind of Shikigami that uses the soul of animals. It usually 'sleeps' as a silver disc, but when it is activated by the sound of a transformation devices, it transforms into a unique color and even into an animal figure.

Each has a recording function (some types have its own recording style), and plays an active part in enemy searching and information gathering. Depending on the application, types such a hawks, wolves, monkeys and crabs can be used properly. Each has a dog-cat intelligence.[1]

Overview[]

Produced mainly for reconnaissance purpose, the Disk Animals or Onshikigami (音式神) are an advanced version of the shikigami that Oni had used in the past. The Disk Animals can switch between their "compact discs form" and "animal forms" like origami, and can turn invisible at will. They record the noises made by Makamou and return to their master to reveal the monsters' location in the area.
