Worms

The Worms are the villains in the Kamen Rider Heisei series Kamen Rider Kabuto. They are an alien life form that came from a meteor that destroyed the city district of Shibuya years prior to the series' timeline. However, the Worms known as Natives existed prior to the coming of the Shibuya Meteorite, through another meteorite that came 35 years ago.

The Worms were designed by Yasushi Nirasawa, who designed the Undead for Kamen Rider Blade, the Horrors in GARO, and later designed the Imagin for Kamen Rider Den-O. These designs were later detailed in Worm Works: GITAI.

Shibuya Meteorite
Years ago, a mysterious meteorite crashed into Shibuya; this brought along the extraterrestrial creatures known as Worms. During episode 41, Riku Kagami explains that another meteorite carrying the Natives arrived on Earth thirty-five years ago, explaining why fragments of the meteorite similar to those of the Shibuya Meteorite existed so long ago. The Natives that arrived on Earth worked with humans to create the Masked Rider System in order to fend off the threat of other Worms that would arrive later.

World of Kabuto
The Worms also exist in the A.R. World of Kabuto, where they are also fought by ZECT and its Kamen Riders. Similar to the originals, they are an alien menace that blends into the human population by copying the faces of their victims along with their memories and personalities. While most are in pupa form known as a Salis, few Worms molt into an adult form with the ability to Clock Up.

Dai-Shocker
As one of the races of the Nine Worlds, the Worms are part of the Dai-Shocker alliance, a coalition of all villain organizations fought by the Kamen Riders, who have ambitions to conquer the multiverse.

The Coleoptera Worm Aeneus, Coleoptera Worm Croceus, Coleoptera Worm Argentum, Geophilid Worm, Subst Worm, and Cassis Worm Gladius, were part of the Dai-Shocker army that was fought and wiped out by a gathering of 25 Kamen Riders in the World of Decade after Dai-Shocker started their invasion of the worlds.

The Brachypelma Worm Aurantium, Brachypelma Worm Viridis, and Tarantes Worm Purpura, were among the Dai-Shocker members who appeared in the World of Black RX.

The Camponotus Worm Maxilla was among the Dai-Shocker members who appeared in the World of Amazon. He was destroyed by Decade's Dimension Kick.

The Sectio Worm Acuere was a member of the Dai-Shocker remnant, Super Shocker, that appeared in the World of the Rider War.
