The Boy in the Dream (夢の中の少年, Yume no Naka no Shōnen) is a visual representation of the skeletal Primitive Dragon (プリミティブドラゴン, Purimitibu Doragon), summoned through its respective Wonder Ride Book.[1] When possessing Touma Kamiyama, he can transform into Kamen Rider Saber Primitive Dragon (仮面ライダーセイバープリミティブドラゴン, Kamen Raidā Seibā Purimitibu Doragon).
History[]
The Story of Sorrow[]
The Primitive Dragon is the animated skeletal remains of the "Dragon of the Beginning", serving as the main subject of the book titled the Story of Sorrow (悲しみの物語, Kanashimi no monogatari).
Many millenia ago, the Primitive Dragon ruled over a clan of dragons and a kingdom of humans, forming a strong alliance between the two species. As the humans colonized with the rest of the world, they distanced themselves from the dragons, and the Primitive Dragon fell into a deep slumber. After an unknown amount of time, the dragons were approached by another group of humans, who mistook them for monsters and slaughtered them towards extinction. The dragons refused to fight back, remembering the bonds they had formed with their ancestors.
The Primitive Dragon awoke from its slumber and learned of the bloodshed from the humans' genocide of the dragons, much to its horror. Descending into despair, it wandered the world for millennia, slowly rotting away until only its skeleton was left remaining. Despite this, Primitive Dragon's soul itself exists as a young boy who continued to search for a new friend, unable to realize that its mortal body no longer exists.
The Boy Inside The Dream[]
In the present day, Storious was permitted by Master Logos to take Primitive Dragon's book in the forbidden library. When Touma Kamiyama confronted Storious, Primitive Dragon took notice of Touma's conflict against the Sword of Logos, bonding itself to him out of their shared feelings of betrayal. However, this causes Touma to be driven insane whenever he attempts to use its power, which is noted by Storious to be wildly uncontrollable to both the Megid and humans.
The Primitive Dragon Wonder Ride Book continued to forcibly latch itself onto Touma, transforming him against his will. When Touma fell into further despair after learning of Kento Fukamiya's new goal of sealing every Seiken in existence, Primitive Dragon took over his body once more. Inside Touma's mindscape, the Primitive Dragon tried to reach out to Touma himself and extended his hand. However, the novelist silently rejected the dragon's spirit and continued weeping, resulting in the Primitive Dragon further saddened for leaving him alone.
While inside Liberation, Touma repeatedly transformed to save the dragon's spirit from its everlasting sorrow. However, the Primitive Dragon refused all of his attempts. Knowing that the Primitive Dragon had been lonely for centuries over the loss of his friends, Touma told him a happy ending to the Story of Sorrow and how the elements of nature were always there for the dragon at his lowest. Feeling content from this realization, the Primitive Dragon thanked Touma for befriending him and allowed Touma to access Elemental Dragon. After Touma defeated Legeiel, the Primitive Dragon stood next to Tassel, who thanked him from saving the spirit from its misery when no one else could.
During the final battle against Storious, Primitive Dragon awakened once again to save Touma after he was thrown into a pit by Storious. The dragon remarked that he had wanted to hear more of Touma's stories, and transformed Touma into Saber Primitive Dragon as its foray into the final stand against Storious.

- Sword Crown (ソードクラウン, Sōdo Kuraun)
- Bone Visor (ボーンバイザー, Bōn Baizā): The skeletal-style visor. Filled with the urge to destroy, it recognizes everything it sees as an enemy.
- Berserk Sense (バーサークセンス, Bāsāku Sensu): The sensory organs. It is an organ that sensitively senses a wide range of surrounding information, but has a habit of reacting hypersensitively to hostility.
- Primitive Jaw (プリミティブジョウ, Purimitibu Jou): The facial plate. The breathing of the forbidden God Beast "Primitive Dragon" enhances the urge to destroy to the utmost limit.
- Sword Robe (ソードローブ, Sōdo Rōbu): The suit granted by the user of the Seiken Kaenken Rekka. Under the forbidden power of the Primitive Dragon Wonder Ride Book, the user's sword skills, physical abilities, and special abilities have been increased beyond the user's control.
- Void Talon (ボイドタロン, Boido Taron): The skeletal claw-style chest armor. It can expand and contract the dragon's huge claws to deflect all attacks and grab any object in sight.
- Primitive Dragon Bauld (プリミティブドラゴンボールド, Purimitibu Doragon Bōrudo, play on "Primitive Dragon Pauldron"): The right shoulder armor. It possesses the power of the forbidden God Beast "Primitive Dragon" and brings the power of the great ancient dragon that seeks destruction upon instinct.

- Cracking Bone Scale (クラッキングボーンスケイル, Kurakkingu Bōn Sukeiru): The exoskeletal armor. The articulated skeleton, which is composed of the robust skeleton "Primitive Bone" (プリミティブボーン, Purimitibu Bōn), makes a roaring sound and absorbs the impact when attacked. Even if it is crushed by a stronger attack, it can be recovered instantly, and it has the property of increasing its hardness each time it recovers.
