Yummy (Kamen Rider)

A is a fictional monster and an antagonist featured in the 2010-2011 Kamen Rider Series Kamen Rider OOO. A Yummy is created when one of the beings known as the Greeed approaches a human and asks what the human desires. A coin slot called a , which is also used on the Ride Vendor, appears on the human, and after the Greeed inserts a mystical object called a into the slot, a Yummy is created from the human. Each Greeed has a different method of producing a Yummy: the monster can start off as a humanoid , be parasitic to the human host, begin as a roe-like mass from which multiple Yummy are hatched from, or be born directly from the Greeed with a Cell Medal. All of these types are the incarnation of its host's desire, feeding that person's object of desire and "digesting them" into Cell Medals. White Yummy-like creatures that are not fully developed, and contain only half of the normal Cell Medals, most of which are broken, are known as . These Waste Yummy are far weaker than White Yummy, but can be easily created by the Greeed for grunt work without need of a host at all.

Once consuming enough of the desire, a Yummy can assume its complete form, modeled after the animal on the Cell Medal used in its creation, named after the Japanese name for the animal and sporting multiple hand-like projections. Similar to the Greeed, Yummy are composed of Cell Medals and thus "bleed" Cell Medals when wounded, or explode into a shower of them when destroyed. According to Ankh, the more desire a Yummy consumes, the stronger it becomes. More powerful Yummy produce more Cell Medals upon their destruction; White Yummy do not produce any. These Cell Medals are able to power up the Greeed, but the Kougami Foundation also seeks out Cell Medals, as they have created devices which run off of their power.

There are also rare cases when a host's desire has two parts to it, causing the Yummy to split into two similar beings. While the original Yummy will continue with first part of the host's desire, the new Yummy feeds off the true desire.

The name "Yummy" comes from both the English word "yummy", referring to how it eats objects of desire, and the English word mummy, as the White Yummy form resembles an Egyptian mummy.
