The Infinite Emperor Dragon Gurenryu (無限帝王龍神グレンリュー) is an all-powerful ancient dragon and the partner of Kamen Rider Mugenryu, and later Kamen Rider Taki, the latter of whom he fuses into her, Mugenryu Taki.

It is later revealed that Gurenryu is created from Algol's anger and sadness over the loss of his son. The embodiment of the Hero King's lust for power made flesh.

History
to be added

Appearance
Gurenryu is a blue bodied dragon that has red markings on its throat and thickly scaled underside, sporting crimson wings with sharp white edges that also act as blades. He also donned a midnight-blue chest plate and a choker on the neck. Additionally, there are raised red ridges above its eyes with a blood orange coloration in its sclerae. Three flat fins protrude from either side of the head, possibly acting in the same manner that a would have. It has two pairs of pointed teeth, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower. Each of its short legs are equipped with midnight-blue colored armor that come with metallic yellow claws.

His alternate form is a bipedal humanoid warrior; allowing him to stand on his two rear legs, and causing the legs to expand into human-shaped legs and feet. His tail was disengaged from the main body. Gurenryu's dragon head removed itself from his neck, which in turn split into two, forming the arms. The front legs became his shoulder armor. And then, Gurenryu gains a humanoid head.

Personality
Gurenryu possesses two distinctive characteristics depending on either forms he takes on. In his quadrupedal state, like actual dragons, he is incredibly cruel, violent, and sadistic; he enjoys rampaging and causing wanton mayhem even at the slightest provocation. When adopting to his bipedal form, Gurenryu takes a calm and collected approach in combat while showing signs of restraint. Regardless of either forms, Gurenryu is extremely talkative, foul-mouthed, and a wisecracking anthropomorphic dragon who constantly insults other characters or makes digs at their expense, and even go so far as to underestimate his enemies.
