The Kwami cage was a set of technological cages that Monarch used to hold the Kwamis after creating the Miraculous rings.
Monarch could make any one of the fishbowl-like cages levitate towards him by speaking the Kwami's name and speaking the phrase: "your power is now mine". He could also call multiple cages at once by speaking the names of all the Kwamis' he wants to bring forward and speaking the phrase: "your powers are now mine".
Monarch could then plug the corresponding Miraculous ring into the Miraculous symbol at the base of the Kwami's cage, causing the Kwami to be absorbed into the ring. Once an akumatized villain has been defeated, the Kwami will return to its cage with its energy used up and in need of food.
The cages were also able to dispense food for the Kwamis when Monarch snaps his fingers.
In "Re-creation" and "Miraculous London", after Gabriel's sacrifice and death, Marinette managed to find the Kwamis that were held captive and trapped in the cages in Gabriel's lair. Once Marinette found the kwamis, she destroyed the cages using Cat Noir's Miraculous by Cataclysm, freeing them from their prison, and ensuring that they don't fall into the wrong hands.
Appearance[]
The cage array was dark silver, large and circular, divided into three rings. There were 18 floating fishbowl-like cages within these rings; 8 in the outer ring, 8 in the middle ring, and 2 in the center. At the base of each cage is a platform with the corresponding kwami's Miraculous symbol on the front.

Trivia[]
- The two cages in the inner ring were empty, as were the ones located in the "outer ring, bottom half, right side, lower space" and the "middle ring, top half, left side, lower space". If they were not simply there for the sake of symmetry, then they were presumably reserved for Tikki, Plagg, Duusu and Fluff should Monarch ever capture their Miraculouses.
- It's unknown why the kwamis couldn't phase through the glass of the cages.
- Considering the kwamis captured by Kwamibuster couldn't phase through the canister of her vaccum cleaner due to be empowered with magic, it's possible the cages where imbuded with a mix of technology and magic to prevent the kwamis from escaping, or simply because Monarch commanded them not to.
