- Dokugander (larva) (ドクガンダー（幼虫）, Dokugandā (yōchū), 20 & Rider vs Shocker) – A caterpillar monster. Can breathe explosive gas and also assume the human appearance of a gentleman with a black top hat and coat. His personal emblems, worn on his Combatmen' masks, are a caterpillar and a moth. Capable of spewing mouth webs that form his cocoon. Dokugander could not keep up with Kamen Rider 2 in direct combat and was defeated by Kamen Rider 2's Rider Kick. Rider 2 saw a white shell emerging from the river afterward, and assumed Dokugander had not died yet. A second Dokugander in larva made a brief appearance in the monster army of the Kamen Rider vs. Shocker movie but did not actually have active participation in the movie.
- Dokugander (imago) (ドクガンダー（成虫）, Dokugandā (seichū), 21, Rider vs Shocker) - Dokugander's moth monster form. The form Dokugander took after breaking from its white cocoon. Flight capable, able to release explosive blasts from his fingers, and also recreate the cocoon using mouth webs. His human form was remodeled to match the dead Professor Koizumi (小泉教授, Koizumi Kyouju). Dokugander captured and forced the real Koizumi's research partner, assistant professor Yoshioka (吉岡助教授, Yoshioka Jukyouju) to help with his studies of cocoons, accelerating the creation of an army of Dokuganders for Shocker. However, Yoshioka sabotaged the experiment. Even in his new form and using various hostages, Dokugander was still no match for Kamen Rider 2. He was destroyed by Kamen Rider 2's Rider Kick. The explosion created by the attack destroyed Dokugander's entire base alongside it. Dokugander would return later in the movie Kamen Rider vs. Shocker. He helped a kidnapping operation proceed smoothly, but was left behind alone, fighting Kamen Riders 1 and 2. He was finally destroyed by Kamen Riders 1's and 2's's combined attacks.
