Horsefly Fangire

The Horsefly Fangire (ホースフライファンガイア, Hōsufurai Fangaia), also known as Kaede, whose true name was The Decaying Fish and the Poetry Anthology Filled Cradle (腐敗した魚と詩集の詰まった揺籃, Fuhai shita Sakana to Shishū no Tsumatta Yōran) and she was from the Insect Class. In her Fangire form, she could fire energy stingers and teleport by dissolving into dust.

History

She was captured and used as a test subject by ex-Wonderful Blue Sky Organization scientist Dr. Kanda (神田博士, Kanda Hakase) in his Evolved Lifeform Research Lab. Kanda fed Kaede the life energy of other Fangire so she would become stronger, allowing her to severely wound Rising Ixa. However, Kaede revealed that she was using Kanda killed him because she no longer needed him. The Horsefly Fangire then kidnapped Mio Suzuki to become even more powerful. However, this act angered Taiga Nobori, who destroys Kaede for her cannibalism and attempt to kill Mio.

A male version of the Horsefly Fangire is among the Fangires revived by Bishop, attacking Keisuke Nago and Megumi Aso until Wataru Kurenai intervened and Nago killed the monster as Rising Ixa.
