Granute Chooul (グラニュート・チョール, Guranyūto Chōru) is a part-timer working for Stomach Inc..
History[]
Granute Chooul has lured and kidnapped people by pretending to be a woman chasing after her scarf which was blown away by the wind, he specifically targets kind and polite victims. After handing his Human Press cache to an Agent, Chooul became agitated by receiving only one Dark Snack, prompting him to gather more humans after eating his sole Dark Snack. Adopting his female form, Chooul targeted Sachika Amane, who was looking for one of Chooul's victims Takeshi Mitarai, letting Sachika retrieve the scarf. Chooul was prepare to transform and turn Sachika into a Human Press until Shoma and Hanto Karakida, whom both surmised the kind of people Chooul was targeting, arrived unexpectedly, forcing the the Granute to abandon his target and left only to be tailed by Shoma's Zakuzakuchips Gochizo.
Proceeding to a bridge undersection, Chooul spotted Granute Lage Nine, mistaking him for a human, and attempted to turn him into a press. Lage Nine shrugged Chooul off and assured to him they're on the same side. Both Granutes waited for Shoma and Hanto to arrive, with Chooul engaging them first after reverting into his Granute form. The riders engaged after transforming into Gavv Poppingummy and Valen Bushel, working in sync to counter Chooul's aerial combat skills and overpower him as they readied their respective Rider Slash finishers. Lage Nine walked in the way, forcing the riders to aim their attacks elsewhere while freeing Chooul, who revealed Lage Nine is assigned to protect him as the new Granute shocking transformed into Kamen Rider Vram Pudding Custom and proceeded to overpower Gavv and Valen. [Caramel Tentacles Taste Like Happiness] As Gavv transformed into his Caking form for an edge, Vram continued to dominate both riders and felled Gavv's Whipped Soldiers with a Pudding Crush Rider punch, allowing Chooul a window to escape. The next day, Chooul attempted to collect more humans, but was shocked to discover that people knew of his intentions and fled on sight due to a drawing of himself in human form with a warning posted by Shoma and Hanto.
He went to a roof lamenting his scheme failing as Lage Nine asked if Chooul wanted Dark Snacks that badly, which the Granute confirmed and expressed the sensation of eating the Dark Snacks. Reverting to his Granute form, Chooul enacted a new plan and took to the sky. Using his wind ability, Chooul began gathering humans in powerful winds and turn them to Human Press until he unknowingly brought Shoma and Hanto to his location. Lage Nine arrived to assist Chooul and all three riders transformed before engaging in combat, leading to Chooul attempting to flee with his collection with Gavv chasing him while Valen and Vram continued fighting. Nearing the open sky, Chooul is intercepted by Gavv Fuwamallow and was forced back to the ground to face the rider, who proceeded to counter Chooul's attacks in his Zakuzakuchips form. Chooul's lust for the Dark Snacks made him attempt to fly again, but was brought down and covered in icing from Gavv Caking's Gavvwhipir, preventing the Granute from flying. Chooul was ultimately slain by Gavv's Caking Breaking Rider Thrust and his Human Press collection taken by Gavv. [Extremely Strong! The Pudding Bodyguard]
