 This article is about an ally/monster in Kamen Rider Amazon.
|
Mole Beastman (モグラ獣人, Mogura Jūjin) was a mole-themed Beastman, otherwise known as simply Mole (モグラ, Mogura). He was meant to be executed after his failure to defeat Amazon, only to be rescued by Amazon and escape. Branded a traitor, he redeemed himself and became an ally of Amazon. He would later be poisoned and pass away in order to create an antidote for Mushroom Beastman's posion.
History[]
The Mole Beastman was originally working for Gedon and was sent after Amazon, only to fall back due to police interference. After getting a chance to redeem himself, he goes after Masahiko in order to set a trap for Amazon which ended up with his arm dislocated and many other injuries before he escaped.
As a punishment for his faliure, he is exiled to the surface and chained up, left to die of a sun stroke. Amazon, taking pity on the monster, rescues him from his cruel fate.
Mole would soon develop friendships with Amazon and his allies, becoming a reliable ally to them. He would asist in reporting important intel to Amazon and his allies about Gedon and later, the Garander Empire's schemes that he witnessed digging up to the surface. He would also asist Amazon in more dangerous situations, such as escorting civilians from danger and even engaging in battle as a distraction.
"Tomb of the Warrior of Courage, Mole Beastman"
When the Garander Empire began the Tokyo Mold Destruction Operation, Mole pretended to offer his services to Garander to take the mold in order to create a vaccine. However, Mushroom Beastman expected it and poisoned Mole, living long enough to make his way to the doctor, but when Amazon attempted to give the vaccine to him, he refused saying it was now no good for him but told Amazon he should take it so he doesn't get infected by Mushroom Beastman's mold, before he died in Amazon and Masahiko's arms.
Soon after avenging him, a memorial is built in honor of Mole, with the tomb reading, Tomb of the Warrior of Courage, Mole Beastman (勇気の士モグラ獣人の墓, Yūki no shi Mogura Jūjin no haka).
Kamen Rider Decade[]
Eijiro as Mole Beastman.
When the Hikari Studio arrived in the World of Amazon, becoming Amazon's base, Eijiro Hikari, donning a fake mole nose while holding sunflowers, proclaimed himself to be Amazon's helper Mole Beastman and chanted Mole Beastman's signature chant. Whether a real Mole Beastman existed in the World of Amazon is unknown. [Amazon, Friend]

Behind the scenes[]
Portrayal[]
Mole Beastman was voiced by Ryuji Saikachi (槐 柳二, Saikachi Ryūji), who previously voiced Man Spider, the first Shocker kaijin fought by Kamen Rider in the first episode of Kamen Rider, the original series.
Notes[]
- He is the first kaijin who became an ally to a Kamen Rider.
- The concept of a Beastman who sided with Amazon was present from the planning stage.[2][3] For its motif, mole was chosen due to the impression Mogurang of Kamen Rider left on staff.[4]
