List of Masked Rider monsters

In "Masked Rider", Count Dregon has monsters called Insectovores he uses in his plots. They are kept in jars which come to life when they are launched from the Spiderbase.

Monster List

Here is a list of monsters used by Count Dregon and his minions:

Destructosphere

* First Appearance: "Escape from Edenoi" Pt. 1 (9/16/95)
* Voice Actor: Rudy Luzion

A grotesque grasshopper humanoid with the ability to change into a ball or a spike. Destructosphere was the first monster sent after Dex, when he arrived on Earth. Prior to the attack, Destructosphere was a sphere dropped to Earth by Count Dregon, in a scrapyard where he absorbed some junk to create his body. He proved very strong, but was defeated by Dex and his Rider Kick attack.

NOTE: He was taken from Kamen Rider ZO rather than Kamen Rider BLACK RX.

Beetletron

* First Appearance: "Escape from Edenoi" Pt. 2 (9/16/95)
* Voice Actor: Richard George

A large robot with hand-mounted cannons and tank treads instead of legs and feet. He spoke in a robotic monotone. His mission was to eliminate Combat Chopper and Magno so Dex could be outnumbered by Dregon's forces. He can attack with the guns on his body called Beetle Blasters. Combat Chopper tried to attack it and failed. He had Dex in a pinch until Magno rammed him and later knocked him on his side. He was the first to be destroyed by Dex's Electro Saber.

Larvatron

* First Appearance: "License to Thrill" (9/23/95)
* Voice Actor: Billy Matsuda

A robotic Insectovore that impersonated Dex's driving instructor Mr. Li (portrayed by Billy Matsuda too). He can attack with his laser cannon arm and shoot a red beam from the red part of his head. Passing off as Mr. Li, Larvatron tried to run Dex over, but Dex held onto the car until he found a safe place to let go. After Larvatron dropped his disguise, Dex became Masked Rider and severed the robot's head with the Rider Kick. However, Larvatron had a backup head: a powerful four-way cannon. He fired the cannons on Dex, who then enlisted the aid of Combat Chopper. While on Combat Chopper, Dex managed to destroy him with his Electro Saber.

Mandible

* First Appearance: "Pet Nappers" (9/30/95)
* Voice Actor: Gardner Baldwin

A monster composed of jaw-like pincers who assisted Nefaria and Gork in Count Dregon's plan to capture Ferbus and steal the Masked Rider powers. It can emit a vine from its mouth and launch its jaw-like pincers. Once Dex rescued Ferbus, he engaged Mandible and Gork in battle. When he got caught on Mandible's vine, he called for Combat Chopper and broke free from his vine. While riding on Combat Chopper, Dex destroyed Mandible with his Electro Saber.

Mothitron

* First Appearance: "Bugs on the Loose" (10/7/95)
* Voice Actor: Glen McDougal

A three-eyed green moth monster who has the ability to use moths to turn humans into Insectovores. He can also shoot lasers from his eye and wrap anyone in his long tongue. Count Dregon had Nefaria send the Maggots to lure Hal and Albee towards Mothitron during their bug hunt. Once that plan worked, Mothitron used his moths to infect the two of them. Slowly, Hal and Albee, who were immobilized by the attack, took on the characteristics of an Insectovore (claws, green skin, bug eyes, etc.). Ferbus, though, was able to escape and warn Dex. Using a butterfly Ferbus had caught, Dex created an antidote. As Masked Rider, Dex took Magno and the antidote to Hal and Albee's location, but then he was ambushed by Mothitron. During the battle, Magno tackled Mothitron and took Masked Rider to the cave. Once inside, while looking for Hal and Albee, Dex was attacked by Mothitron again. Dex chopped off Mothitron's tongue, but Mothitron still overwhelmed Dex. Magno tunneled into the cave to save Dex. Magno tackled Mothitron before Dex destroyed him with the Electro Saber and used the antidote to restore Hal and Albee. Mothitron fits the category of Double Face's unit.

Crimson Creeper

* First Appearance: "Arcade Ace" (10/14/95)
* Voice Actor: Steve Cassling

A black-haired crab monster with a strong-clawed right arm. He also has a toxic breath attack. While Dex was helping Albee train to beat the arcade ace Henry Wall, Count Dregon sent Crimson Creeper down with Double Face to capture Dex in order to steal the Masked Rider powers. Dex fought both of them in the first battle and called upon Combat Chopper for help. During a challenge against Henry Wall, Combat Chopper alerted Dex that Magno detected the Crimson Creeper attacking an amusement park. He chopped off Crimson Creeper's arm before he used his breath on him. Dex counter-attacked with the Rider Kick before destroying Crimson Creeper with the Electro Saber. He fits the category of Double Face's unit.

Robo Rider

* First Appearance: "Super Gold" Pt. 1 (10/28/95)
* Voice Actor: Winston Story

Dex's friend Doneas was sent to Earth to give him the Super Gold upgrade. However, Doneas was captured by Maggots and then brainwashed into being Dregon's servant. Dregon had been working on an artificial Masked Rider power, but it was too dangerous to test on himself, so he used it on Doneas to turn him into Robo Rider. Robo Rider was silver and black with green eyes. He also held two swords in battle. Dex was able to defeat Robo Rider, thus breaking the spell over Doneas and returning him back to normal.

NOTE: In the Japanese version, this was Shadow Moon who is Kamen Rider BLACK and Kamen Rider BLACK RX's biggest rival.

Edentada

* First Appearance: "Super Gold" Pt. 2 (11/4/95)
* Voice Actor: Bob Papenbrook

A savage anteater-like creature with crab-like claws. Edentada is a creature that feasted on Edenoites. The Edentada was a fierce digger. Count Dregon had absolutely no control over the creature when he launched it after Robo Rider's defeat. Masked Rider used his new Super Gold powers and destroyed Edentada with his laser pistol.

Termasect

* First Appearance: "The Grandma Factor" (11/11/95)
* Voice Actor: John C. Hyke

A blue robotic insect monster that was accidentally sent to Earth by the Stewart's grandmother when she was accidentally captured by Maggots (who were actually attempting to capture Albee and Molly in order to lure Dex into a trap and steal the Masked Rider powers). Masked Rider destroyed it in his Super Gold form.

limeasect

* First Appearance: "The Grandma Factor" (11/11/95)
* Voice Actor: Ross Bolen

A slithering grayish-white blob-like monster with tentacles for arms.

Recyclotron

* First Appearance: "Something's Trashy" (11/18/95)
* Voice Actor: Kirk Thornton

Cyclopter revived several parts of fallen robots to create a metallic mummy. Recyclotron's head had a built in cooling system that kept the monster from overheating. In addition, he also had the power to control any electrical appliance. Using two cars, he seemingly killed Masked Rider. Hal took it upon himself to go after Recyclotron with a weapon he invented. Masked Rider made a comeback and defeated Recyclotron by causing his head to overheat beyond the coolant's capacity. He fits the category of Cycloptor's unit.

Fire Bug

* First Appearance: "Water Water Everywhere" (11/25/95)
* Voice Actor: Paul Schrier

A robotic monster that can manipulate fire. When the Stewarts were at the community pool for the day, Count Dregon stationed Fire Bug at a factory that emitted green hynoptic gases that took over the minds of the people at the pool. Dex engaged Fire Bug at the factory and defeated Fire Bug using Super Gold and stopped the gas flow.

Hydrasect/Arachnida

* First Appearance: "Stranger from the North" (1/27/96)
* Actor: Balinda English (Hydrasect, U.S. Footage)
* Voice Actor: Andrea Harmon

Hydrasect is a colorful female bee-like monster that mistook a foreign exchange student for Dex. Hydrasect had the ability to fly with the wings on her head. Hydrasect can shapeshift into an even more powerful form known as Arachnida, the second form of Hydrasect. Arachnida was a large 4-legged inhuman spider woman who has a set of spider legs on her back and two spider legs for a left arm. Arachnida can shoot strong webbing to entangle Masked Rider. The monster was unlike any Dex ever encountered. During combat with the monster, he learned that her spider legs were hollow. By snapping one, it instantly killed her.

NOTE #1: Hydrasect was taken from Kamen Rider J rather than BLACK RX. Arachnida was taken from Kamen Rider ZO rather than BLACK RX. Hydrasect was also one of only two monsters to be used in U.S. Footage (the other being Robo Rider).

NOTE #2: Arachnida was most memorable as the only monster to ever be claymated.

Robosect

* First Appearance: "Dance Crazy" (2/3/96)
* Voice Actor: Scott Page-Pagter

A robotic humanoid insect monster. This Insectovore was the closet Insectovore to destroying Masked Rider. If it weren't for Dex's Super Gold powers, he might not have won the battle against Robosect.

The Skull Reapers

* First Appearance: "The Green-Eyed Monster" (2/10/96)
* Voice Actors: Mike Reynolds (Skull Reaper #1), Kirk Thornton (Skull Reaper #2 and Skull Reaper #3)

A robotic insectoid monster whose heat manipulation abilities caused an immense heat wave. Dex destroyed it using Super Gold.

Electrosect

* First Appearance: "Know Your Neighbor" (2/24/96)
* Voice Actor: Steve Cassling

A black and white robot with the ability to harness electricity. He had two long bowed horns on his head and a sword, all of which served as lightning rods. Dregon was furious to see the Stewarts on a televised game show. For that, he had Cycloptor and Electrosect lure Dex away from the game show to take him on in a two vs. one battle. He fits the category of Cycloptor's unit.

Tentaclon

* First Appearance: "The Dash" (2/24/96)
* Voice Actor: Mike Reynolds

A jellyfish-like mutant with lots of tentacles. Dex destroyed him using the Electro Saber.

Blue-Fanged Louse

* First Appearance: "Battle of the Bands" (4/27/96)
* Voice Actor: Ross Bolen

A louse monster that drained energy from any machinery with its mouth-like hands. When Dregon learned that Dex was participating in a band contest, he sent Blue-Fanged Louse and some Commandoids incognito as a band named Battle Cry. Battle Cry's music was causing immense tremors around the arcade. Dex discovered their true forms and plans and defeated the monster. He fits the category of Gork's unit.

Cyborsect

* First Appearance: "Ferbus Maximus" (5/4/96)
* Voice Actor: Lex Lang

A gray humanoid robot monster whom Dregon called his favorite monster. He could launch his fist like a powerful missile in battle. He fits the category of Cycloptor's unit.

Tripron

* First Appearance: "Unmasked Rider" (6/15/96)

A red robotic monster that could split into three opponents and unite into one robot. Meanwhile, Doneas came back to Earth to give Dex the Super Blue upgrade. With the Super Blue powers, Dex defeated Tripron.

Turtletron

* First Appearance: "Ferbus' Day Out" (6/22/96)
* Voice Actor: Robert A. Kline

A turtle monster that can stretch its' neck and head to attack Dex. Turtletron went down to battle Dex on Earth alongside Double Face. Double Face wanted to test his new "Super Sword" and Dregon wanted to make sure Double Face would succeed. Masked Rider beheaded Turtletron and finished him off with the Electro Saber. He fits the category of Double Face's unit.

Liquisect

* First Appearance: "Jobless" (6/29/96)
* Voice Actor: Brad Orchard

A monster used by Count Dregon at the time Dex got a job at Moon Dude's arcade. He could liquefy himself and shapeshift similar to a shadow. Dex destroyed him using Super Blue.

Water Bug

* First Appearance: "Back To Nature" (7/6/96)
* Voice Actor: Kim Strauss

A brown lobster-like monster with octopus tentacles on his hips. When the Stewart Family went camping, Dregon had sent him to blow up the Leawood Bay Bridge. He ran afoul of Masked Rider, but he was eventually destroyed by the Electro Saber.

Fleazoid

* First Appearance: "Testing 1, 2, 3" (7/13/96)

A purple flea monster with a red exoskeleton. Nerfaria's plan was to get Chalmers to uncover Dex's true identity. However, her plan was far from successful. Dregon then lost patience and sent Gork and the Fleazoid monster to attack the electric power plants in town. Dex escaped Chalmers testing facility and battled Fleazoid, but was also greeted by a small army of Commandoids with bazookas. The Commandoids blasted/bound Dex with plastic making him immobile to Fleazoid's attacks. Dex managed to turn to Super Blue to escape from Fleazoid, then defeated him with the Super Blue powers. He fits the category of Gork's unit.

Twister Bug

* First Appearance: "Showdown at Leawood High" (7/20/96)
* Voice Actor: Chuck Kovacic

A black ant humanoid with long white hair that was loyal to Gork. Twister Bug could cause tornadoes and other disastrous winds by simply twirling himself in circles. During Dex's first confrontation, his Super Gold form proved useless against Twister Bug as the monster clogged all of Dex's joints with dirt. As Super Blue, Dex could easily maneuver against Twister Bug. During their second fight, Twister Bug almost had Dex trapped by burying him alive in a large ant hill. Magno raced to save the day by running down Twister Bug and plowing Dex free from the ant hill. Dex escaped and defeated Twister Bug. Fits the category of Gork's unit.

Boulder Beetle

* First Appearance: "Power Out" (7/27/96)
* Voice Actor: Brad Orchard

A plant-covered rock monster that wore an orange loin cloth. Boulder Beetle's heart had the power to emit Negative Proton Rays that can drain Dex of his Masked Rider powers, making the mission easier for Dregon. With ability to manipulate soil, Boulder Beetle used it to restrain Dex and continue draining him. Dex eventually escaped. Later, Dex was given a recharge from Magno, Chopper and King Lexian to make him immune to Boulder Beetle's effect. Boulder Beetle's heart could also allow him to regenerate from Dex's attacks. Boulder Beetle was finally destroyed when Dex destroyed his glowing, stone heart by throwing the Electro Saber towards it.

Reptosect

* First Appearance: "Power Out" (7/27/96)
* Voice Actor: Ezra Weisz

Double Face was jealous that Nefaria and Boulder Beetle was picked over his plan. He called upon a green lizard/mantis monster with black hair and big steel teeth known as Reptosect to assist him in battle. After Boulder Beetle's destruction, Reptosect stepped in with Double Face (whom was wielding a War Saber), but Reptosect was rather quickly destroyed by Super Gold. He fits the category of Double Face's unit.

Ultivore

* First Appearance: "Saturday Morning Invasion" (9/9/96)
* Voice Actor: Alonzo Bodden

A gold, cybernetic, battle machine Insectovore turned giant. Count Dregon captured a stranded midget alien with the power to shrink and enlarge anything. Dregon then forced the alien to enlarge a monster that would destroy Dex and the entire city of Leawood. Dex was outmatched by Ultivore's height, but the alien evened things out by making Masked Rider into a giant as well, much to the dismay of Dregon. With a giant-sized Rider Kick, Dex destroyed the Ultivore and saved the alien.

NOTE: This monster was taken from Kamen Rider J rather than BLACK RX. It was also the main villain of the movie and was known as the Fog Mother.

olarsect

* First Appearance: "Passenger Ferbus" (9/10/96)
* Voice Actor: Darren Wilson

The Stewart family was on their way to visit Grandma and planned to travel by plane. Since Dex was going to be on a plane, it meant that he wouldn't be able to protect the city from Solarsect without revealing his identity. Solarsect was a sword-wielding humanoid mutant dressed in a green and yellow helmet, silver armor, and a black cape. His ability was to harness the sun's rays and use them as a weapon. Eventually, Dex was able to engage in battle with Solarsect. Dex's Electro Saber was enough to take this monster down.

Dregonator

* First Appearance: "Mixed Doubles" (9/11/96)
* Voice Actor: Ken Merckx

A powerful golden robotic clone of Dregon. After the success of cloning an evil Stewart family, Dregon promptly made a clone of himself that was more evil and powerful in battle than himself. The Dregonator lived up to the real Dregon's expectations until he was destroyed by Dex's Electro Saber.

NOTE: In Kamen Rider BLACK RX, this monster was not a robot, it was actually General Jaaku/Count Dregon in a powered up form. Similar to other Saban tokusastu adapts at the same time, there was a deliberate attempt to avoid permanently killing the central cast of villains, saying that the dead in Japanese footage were robots or were only temporarily hurt.

Lavasect

* First Appearance: "Million Dollar Ferbus" (9/16/96)
* Voice Actor: Alfred Thor

A powerful creature that lived underground and appeared as a giant head. Lavasect had numerous red eyes and tentacles, which he could bind Dex with in battle. Destroyed by Dex's Electro Saber.

NOTE: In Kamen Rider BLACK RX, he was the main villain and was known as Lord Crisis.

Manosect

* First Appearance: "Ectophase Albee" (9/17/96)
* Voice Actor: David Greenlee

A red Asura-like monster that was sent to attack Albee, who accidentally gained the ability to become Masked Rider. Count Dregon sent him to capture Albee so Dregon can take the Masked Rider powers. Albee used the Super Gold ability to destroy Manosect. However, the events of Albee turning into Masked Rider and monster Manosect only occurred in a dream while Albee was unconscious.

Dread Dragon

* First Appearance: "Ectophase Albee" (9/17/96)

An scaley ostrich/dragon-like creature that had small dragon-like heads for hands and an extra mouth on its belly. When Albee accidentally gained Dex's powers, Dregon sent the monster to destroy the novice hero. Albee managed to destroy it instead with the Electro Saber. However, the events of Albee turning into Masked Rider and monster Dread Dragon only occurred in a dream while Albee was unconscious.

Cyborgator

* First Appearance: "Ectophase Albee" (9/17/96)
* Voice Actor: Bob Papenbrook

An alligator monster with poisonous fangs and a constricting tale. Albee gained the ability to become Masked Rider when bumping into Dex. Dregon took advantage of the inexperienced hero by using this deadly Insectovore. When climbing the side of a cliff during battle, Albee punched Cyborgator in the left eye causing him to fall off the cliffside and be destroyed in the fall. However, the events of Albee turning into Masked Rider and monster Cyborgator only occurred in a dream while Albee was unconscious.

NOTE: He was taken from Kamen Rider J rather than BLACK RX.

Revenator

* First Appearance: "Race Against Time" (9/26/96)
* Voice Actor: Chuck Kovacic

A robotic race car monster. He was sent to Earth as a regular race car that was given to Albee as a present. Count Dregon called Revenator the "car that cannot lose." Dregon used him to lead his forces to Dex's cave to destroy Magno and Combat Chopper.

Parasect

* First Appearance: "Cat-Atomic" (10/14/96)

A black bat monster. Before Catatron was created, Dregon's minions tried their new invention on an ordinary vampire bat, turning it into a monster. Parasect had small-but-long bat wings for ears that covered its head (unless he's flying), and had an eye on each hand much like Destructosphere. Parasect could extend its fingers to form wings. Its name is taken from the Bandai America toyline.

NOTE: Parasect was taken from Kamen Rider ZO rather than BLACK RX.

Catatron

* First Appearance: "Cat-Atomic" (10/14/96)
* Voice Actor: Paul Pistore

Dregon developed a device that could turn anything into a monster. He then set his sights on Leawood High's tiger mascot costume. While Herbie was repairing the torn costume, Maggots stole the tiger costume and brought it to life with the device, turning it into a tiger monster named Catatron. Catatron had a tiger's fury and tossed small black boomerangs in battle. After Dex suspected the costume wasn't human, he went after Catatron. Catatron was a very powerful monster indeed, proving to be too much for even Super Gold. However, Dex was able to defeat him with the Super Blue powers, and thus the costume was reverted back to normal. He fits the category of Double Face's unit.

pearavore

* First Appearance: "Indigestion" (10/21/96)
* Voice Actor: Tony Smyles

A pink-colored baboon/mosquito monster who was quickly destroyed by a single swipe from Dex's Electro Saber.

pace Monkey

* First Appearance: "Indigestion" (10/21/96)
* Voice Actor: Brian Tahash

A white primate monster. While Dex was recovering from a poison slipped in his food, Count Dregon took advantage by unleashing this monkey monster to take out the weakened hero. He attacked Dex not long after Dex had defeated the Spearavore. Assisting the Space Monkey was an army of Ninja Apes. As Super Blue, the Space Monkey was defeated. Fits the category of Double Face's unit.

Fluffy

* First Appearance: "Dex At Bat" (10/31/96)

A flying squirrel-resembling bat monster. Albee was pet sitting his friend's bat, but it was accidentally released from its cage. Fact picked the disturbance at the Stewart home and Dregon quickly turned Fluffy into an Insectovore. Dex and Albee went to find the missing bat only to find it attacking the public. By playing loud music, Fluffy became disoriented long enough to be changed back to normal.

Banantex

* First Appearance: "Dex At Bat" (10/31/96)
* Voice Actor: Kermit Beachwood

A green and white-furred shaman monster with bat wings for ears. He wields a staff and is armed with bananas. Banantex used his bananas to infiltrate a gold deposity to steal rare explodium gold. Dex watched the news report and recognized the banana as a Borneo banana. After some detective work, Dex learned about a weird guy who bought them en masse. The weird guy was Banantex in disguise, meaning Count Dregon was in possession of the highly explosive metal. Dex defeated Banantex using Super Blue.

Bruticon

* First Appearance: "The Invasion of Leawood" (11/4/96)
* Voice Actor: Bob Papenbrook

A bird-like super-monster that was one of the strongest Insectovores in Dregon's army. He can shoot an electrical beam from his right claw and turn into energy. It ruled a galaxy that Count Dregon conquered. He was so powerful, in fact, that one Masked Rider alone wasn't enough to defeat it. King Lexian then decided to enlist the aide of the legendary Masked Rider warriors, AKA the Masked Riders that came before Dex. It arrived on Earth in a ball of fire and attacked the Radio Astronemy Center on Harbor Island. When with Double Face, Bruticon prevented Dex from using his Electro Saber on him and overwhelmed him until the Masked Rider Warriors arrived. While the warriors dealt with Bruticon, Dex went one-on-one with Double Face. After Double Face retreated, Dex joined the fight against Bruticon. Bruticon proved too strong for even Super Gold, but Dex reasoned that perhaps Bruticon wasn't as tough on the inside as he was on the outside; he then used his Super Blue power to ride a torrent of water inside and destroy Bruticon from within. Fits the category of Double Face's unit.

NOTE: In production order, the episode containing Bruticon was to be the final episode of Masked Rider...but in airing order, it wasn't.

Ocusect

* First Appearance: "The Eye of Edenoi" (11/5/96)
* Voice Actor: Rebecca Forstadt

A multi-eyed hag creature from an Edenoi fairy tale. According to Dex, any Edenoite who stared into the eye of Ocusect would be frozen with fear forever. Dex was deathly afraid of the Ocusect when he was young. Dregon decided to bring Dex's worst fear to life by creating a real one. Ocusect could imprison anyone within its main eye. As Super Blue, Dex overcame his fear and destroyed Ocusect.

Lobstatron

* First Appearance: "Exit Nefaria, Enter Barbaria" (11/18/96)
* Voice Actor: Mike Reynolds

A lobster-resembling monster with scythe-blades for hands and lobster legs between its upper back and shoulders. Dex destroyed him using the Electro Saber.

Predavore

* First Appearance: "Exit Nefaria, Enter Barbaria" (11/18/96)
* Voice Actor: Randy Elliot

A monster with long horns sent to battle Dex during the temporary reign of Barbara turned Barbaria. Dex destroyed him using the Electro Saber. Fits the category of Double Face's unit.

Brain Mite

* First Appearance: "Detention" (11/20/96)
* Voice Actor: Ezra Weisz

Dregon tried a new approach by attacking Dex from within his head. Brain Mite was a bluish imp monster with a pitchfork-like weapon. He was implanted into Dex's brain by the Maggots, and he took over Dex's body while Dex was in detention. He then took over Dex's speech, causing Dex to mouth off at Principal Chalmers. Dex tried to extract Brain Mite with his Super Blue power, but Brain Mite punctured Dex's brain, causing the Masked Rider to fall unconscious. Once Brain Mite came out, Masked Rider recovered and finished him off.
