History[]
Past[]
Great King Mons Drake of the Planet saw Dereputa's fighting skills and was impressed. Confronting him, he offers to make him his right hand man, which Dereputa gladly acceptted and waas been loyal to him ever since to the point that he aided him every time that Mons Drake used the Gravity Fall ritual.
Goseiger[]
During Warstar's initial invasion of Earth, Dereputa destroyed Heaven's Tower to hinder interference from the Gosei Angels before Alata attacks him immediately after. Since that time, Derepeuta becomes Gosei Red's nemesis for the rest of Warstar's attack after severely injuring his forearm in their initial confrontation. After the death of Mizogu of the Clump during the initial invasion of Earth, Dereputa confronts the Goseigers and introduces himself and Warstar before leaving.
Later, Dereputa uses his own monster Hidou of the Swift Runner to distract most of the Goseigers whilst he fights Alata alone. Although he initially gains the upper-hand, he ends up being caught off-guard by Alata in their next fight. Dereputa retreats after being hit by the Red Break whilst Hidou is killed.
When Mons Drake pushes his plans forward to use the Gravity Fall against Earth forward, Dereputa sets up the area for it but the Goseigers however, managed to stop the ceremony by sealing Mons Drakes' powers whilst defeating Dereputa with the Gosei Dynamic. Though enlarged by the Bibi Bugs per Mons Drake's orders, Dereputa is seemingly destroyed by Hyper Gosei Great's Hyper Headder Strike. This devastates Mons Drake and pushes him off the deep end when his plans to have Buredoran avenge him and later have Targate of the Satellite replace him both fail. The resulting final despirate plan would results in the end of Warstar.
However, Dereputa actually survived his explosion and discards his breastplate with a scar on his chest from the attack. He comes to the realization of acting on his own to prove his superiority. After Mons Drake's demise, Dereputa resurfaces to settle things with Alata while attacking his teammates to lure him into battle and ensure no interference. He and Alata soon duel one-on-one with the other Gosei Angels cheering Alata on. Despite a tough battle, Dereputa ends up being killed by Alata when they jump at each other and they slash each other. However, Dereputa unknowingly plays a role in the release of the Earth Condemnation Group Yuumajuu as the sealed Erurei Box is unearthed by a meteor shower that Dereputa created to draw Alata out.
Despite his death, Warstar is still at large and he is later succeeded as second in command by Deinbaruto of the Morning Star a while later but even he fails due to the Goseigers.
Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen[]
Dereputa is revived as a member of the Dai-Zangyack faction but is only seen when Marvelous orders the Gokaigers to hunt down Kamen Rider OOO, Birth, and ProtoType, with Mons Drake, Brajira, Brajira's clones, and the Dark Headers. He is last spotted with Mons Drake and Nanoma-Gatari trying to chase Hina-chan until Daiki Kaito shows up and blasts them. Dereputa of the Meteor and the other Goseiger villains are not seen again but they are presumed deceased.
Personality[]
Creepox was a ruthless, tyrannical, brutal and arrogant individual who would not stop at nothing to destroy the Goseigers and conquer the Earth for Warstar. He was an innate warrior who held a firm belief about ruling through strength and was easily angered by even the most trivial matters and openly expressed his discontent to those around him even towards Mons and Buredoran. Although utterly loyal to his leader, he was annoyed at how Buredoran was favored by Mons Drake and had very little patience when it came to planning and scheming as he perferred mindless violence and brute force. He also had a deep-seeded, personal rivalry with Alata as his over-inflated ego also bore a superiority complex towards humans, constantly bragging about the superiority of the Insect Monsters and belittling the Rangers. These traits made him the polar opposite of his cohort, partner and rival, Buredoran, who saw things with intelligence and usually kept his cool even under severe pressure. Dereputa was also highly and supremely arrogant and underestimated the Rangers, considering them weak which ultimately caused his defeat.
