Chemies/Malgams

Chemies (ケミー, Kemī) are monsters that were accidentally created by alchemy, normally serving as familiars of Kamen Riders that are summoned from their respective Ride Chemy Cards. They were stolen away from the Alchemys Union (錬金連合, Renkin Rengō) by Fuga, who was forced to release them into the world after entrusting the Chemies' safety to Houtaro.[1][2] Chemies who end up being exposed to malice-consumed humans are merged with that human host to become a single corrupt humanoid monster called a Malgam (マルガム, Marugamu), with Gotchard extracting the Chemy from its host while purifying them. However, a human host with goodwill can merge with a Chemy into a purified variant of their Malgam form anytime, even when their corresponding Ride Chemy Card is used by a Kamen Rider. If a Chemy merges with a Malgam, it becomes a weapon-like Mixtus (ミクスタス, Mikusutasu) form.[1][7][11]

Each Chemy/Malgam is based on their sub-species categories; Insect (インセクト, Insekuto), Job (ジョブ, Jobu), Vehicle (ビークル, Bīkuru), Animal (アニマル, Animaru), Artifact (アーティファクト, Ātifakuto), Plant (プラント, Puranto), Occult (オカルト, Okaruto), Ancient (エンシェント, Enshento), Cosmic (コズミック, Kozumikku), Fantastic (ファンタスティック, Fantasutikku), and Legend Rider (レジェンドライダー, Rejendo Raidā).
