This article is about an evil organization in Kamen Rider Amazon. |
Gedon (ゲドン ) is the evil organization based in the Amazon before moving to Japan, bent on world dominion and fueled by human blood.
History[]
The Gedon organization was formed in the jungles of the Amazon, coming to Japan to pursue Amazon as they need the Gigi Bracelet to enable its leader Golgos to rule the world.
Badan Empire[]
Gedon's Centipede Beastman was one of several monsters who were revived to serve the Badan Empire led by the Great Leader, now known as the Generalissimo of Badan. The Beastman was one of several monsters destroyed by Badan's own Spacetime Rupture System. [Birth of the 10th! Kamen Riders All Together!!]
Shocker Greeed[]
In an alternate timeline caused by Ankh leaving a O-Medal behind in the year 1971, Shocker achieved its goal of dominion of Japan with the Shocker Greeed. Gedon, represented by Yum Cimil, was among the various organizations that forms a partnership with Shocker. [OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders]
World of Amazon[]
Gedon also exists in the A.R. World of Amazon, where it is fought by an alternate Kamen Rider Amazon. By the time the Hikari Studio arrived in this world, it was taken over by Dai-Shocker, with the leader of Gedon, Jyumenki Yum Cimil, serving as Dai-Shocker's designated ruler of the World of Amazon, developing the mindset that Kamen Riders are the enemies of the human race, rather than Gedon. He has the GaGa Armlet and seeks Amazon's GiGi Armlet to gain their full power and use the unlimited ancient Inca powers to complete his master plan of converting humans into monsters. Though he gains the GiGi Armlet, he loses both it and the GaGa Armlet to the Kamen Riders with Decade Complete Form weakening him with Faiz Blaster Form before Amazon destroys him with the Super Wild Slash.

Gedon Beastman[]
Gedon's Beastmen (獣人, Jūjin) are based on animals, insects, and arachnids. Gedon creates its Beastmen by abducting people and taking them to the Beastmen modification room. There they are transformed into Beastmen by going through cybernetic surgery using incan science and magic. Golgos can also create Beastmen using the power of the Gaga bracelet. Among the Beastmen are:

Notes[]
- Gedon is the first evil organization in the Kamen Rider Series whose monsters do not wear belts with the insignia of their organization; their Garander successors likewise lack the staple, making them an anomaly among the Showa Kamen Rider Series prior to Kamen Rider Black.
- The motifs of the Dai-Shocker monsters which appear in the World of Amazon correspond with several Beastmen from the original Gedon.
- Go·Jalaji·Da corresponds with Porcupine Beastman.
- Propheta Cruentus corresponds with Mantis Beastman.
- Camponotus Worm Maxilla corresponds with Ant Beastman.
- Bakeneko corresponds with Black Cat Beastman.
- Yobuko corresponds primarily with Crocodile Beastman and, to a lesser extent, Snake Beastman.
