Gurongi

The Gurongi Tribe (グロンギ族 Gurongi Zoku) are a fictional race creatures who act as the antagonists in the 2000 Kamen Rider Series Kamen Rider Kuuga.

Fictional history

The Gurongi is a mysterious ancient civilization consisting of beings that can transform into monsters to kill people for their ruthless game (ゲーム gēmu), which is translated into the Gurongi Language (グロンギ語 Gurongi-Go) as the "Gegeru" (ゲゲル). Attacking their rival civilization the Linto (リント Rinto), their leader was ultimately defeated by the original Kuuga, and all 200 of the Gurongi were seal away in the ancient past.

Also protecting the Linto at the same time were the Lords, who would later appear as the antagonists in Kamen Rider Agito.

In 2000, the newly resurrected Daguva revives his tribe and resumes the Gegeru on the human race, the modern-day descendants of the Linto, in order to bring about the "Ultimate Darkness" (究極の闇 Kyūkyoku no Yami), when humanity will become as violent as the Gurongi. They are referred to by the police as Unidentified Life Forms (also known as "Unidentified Creatures") (未確認生命体 Mikakunin Seimeitai).

Gurongi can assume human form, and are otherwise indistinguishable from humans, apart from possessing a tattoo that resemble their true animalistic forms, and unusual clothing choices. Unidentified Life Form #B1 is the only one to remain in human form throughout the series. Those seen to assume human form are labeled as "B" (B群 Bīgun).

Each of the Gurongi possesses a strange artefact in all of their bodies, similar to Kuuga's. Each Gurongi has a stylized buckle with the Geburon (ゲブロン) stone like Kuuga's Amadam stone on the Gedoruudo (ゲドルード Gedorūdo) belt in their true form, which if destroyed causes the Gurongi's destruction, as seen when one is hit with one of Kuuga's finishers, causing cracks to spread out from the site of the impact until it reaches their belt buckle, upon which light pours out of it and the Gurongi explodes.

The naming pattern of the Gurongi is "Group-Species-Creature type". The first part of their names indicates their rank. The second part is the personal name. The third part indicates what animals they resemble. "Ba" Gurongi are insects and arachnids, "Da" Gurongi are mammals, "De" Gurongi are plants, "Gi" Gurongi are fish and aquatic animals, "Gu" Gurongi are birds and other winged animals, and "Re" Gurongi are reptiles and amphibians.

Only 48 out of the 200 Gurongi were named, with 25 members appeared in the course of Kuuga's broadcast, while the remaining 23 were mentionerd in various Kuuga-related media.

Before resurfacing nine months later in his fully restored Perfect Form (完全体 Kanzentai), Daguva manages to slaughter 152 inferior Gurongi in Nagano before killing Gooma and falling off the radar after six days of being sighted. By the time he resurfaces, Daguva assumes the guise of a white-suited young man with an aura and is labeled as "Unidentified Life Form B13" (未確認生命体B群13号 Mikakunin Seimeitai Bīgun Jūsangō). Once Gadoru is killed, Daguva begins end game by causing an endless heavy rain before defeating Kuuga in his Amazing Mighty form while leaving massive damage in his wake. As he revealed to Baruba, he is giving Kuuga time to get stronger as a favor for giving him time to move around the country in peace. Once at Nagano, Daguva resumes the carnage before starting a systematic genocide of all humans in Japan as he tells Yusuke to meet him at Mount Kurō (九郎ヶ岳 Kurō-ga-take) for a final confrontation. But as he hoped, Daguva assumes his Gurongi form as he and Kuuga battle each other. After exhausting themselves to the point that they are too weak to maintain their fighting forms, they continue to fight as humans with their bare hands to the death until Daguva dies from the multiple fist injuries.
