Formicaalubus Worm Oculus (フォルミカアルビュスワーム・オキュルス, Forumikaarubyusu Wāmu Okyurusu) is a termite-like Worm that mimicked Tatsuhiro Wakabayashi.
History[]
It imitated the appearance of a talented surgeon, Tatsuhiro Wakabayashi, and tried to get rid of the real one after mimicking him by following the general behavior of the Worms. After that, it was busy with the surgeon's job and decided it couldn't get rid of the original Tatsuhiro Wakabayashi, however, at the same time, he claimed to have saved human lives by killing humans everywhere.
Later, when the one month time limit ended, Formicaalubus Worm Oculus alongside other sub-class Worms appears in front of Tatsuhiro, claiming to kill him. They begin to fight with Kamen Rider Kabuto, Kamen Rider Drake and Kamen Rider TheBee, after get hit by Drake's Rider Shooting, Formicaalubus Worm Oculus tries run away, but soon found by Arata Kagami and Kabuto. Formicaalubus Worm Oculus is quickly destroyed by Kabuto's Rider Kick.
Personality[]
Like other Formicaalubus Worm sub-class, Oculus mimicked Wakabayashi and inherited his memories and personality, so they both have the same alcoholism behavior and medical skills. Sometimes he would go to the Oden mobile stall with the real Wakabayashi to drink and eat together.
However, Oculus' nature is still a Worm, when Wakabayashi is not available, Oculus will find the right opportunity to run out at night to attack humans. After a month, he and other Formicaalubus Worms decide to kill Wakabayashi mercilessly, using the excuse that they saved many human lives with their medical skills.
