{{Dablink|Kaio (''Kaiō'') is also a [[Japan]]ese surname. It can refer to several people or fictional characters, including [[Michiru Kaioh]], a character in [[Sailor Moon]].}}
This is a list of [[Deity|deities]], [[legendary creature]]s and other [[Supernatural|beings of unexplained origin]] that appear in the [[anime]] and [[manga]] [[fictional universe|universe]] of the ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' [[metaseries]], including the [[Dragon Ball Z movies]]. Following some characters bio are external links that focus on that character.
==
'''Annin''' is the Guardian of the Furnace of Eight Divinations at the border between [[Dragon World|Earth]] and the afterlife. In the [[FUNimation Entertainment|FUNimation]] [[anime]] dub, she is given the [[Pseudonym|alias]] of '''Tajaro''' in order to hide the Furnace Keeper's true identity. When [[Son Goku (Dragon Ball)|Son Goku]] and [[List of Earthlings in Dragon Ball#Chichi|Chichi]] sought to put out the fire of the furnace, he is stopped by Annin. She tells Goku that if he puts out the fire, all the evil spirits will remain on Earth and total darkness will destroy the planet. It also takes roughly 200 years to reignite the furnace. After seeing that Goku had the Bashō Sen (Bansho Fan), she finds a way and helps Goku enter the furnace and fix the hole causing the fire to leak out. She doesn't appear in the manga.
'''{{nihongo|Dende|デンデ|''Dende''}}''' is a [[Namekian]] who takes the role of the [[Earth (Dragon Ball)|Earth]]'s god after [[#Kami|Kami]] fuses with [[Piccolo (Dragon Ball)|Piccolo]]. He is first introduced in the [[Namek Saga]] when [[Son Gohan]] and [[Kuririn]] save him from [[#Dodoria|Dodoria]]. He gets his power unlocked by their elder, giving him [[List of fictional characters who can heal|the power to heal]]. He aids the warriors during the fight with [[Freeza]] until he is killed by the tyrant. After being revived by [[#Dragons|Shenlong]], he lives on New Namek until [[Son Goku (Dragon Ball)|Son Goku]] [[List of Dragon Ball special abilities#Shunkan Idō|can teleport there]] during the [[Cell Saga]] to ask a Namekian to become the new God of Earth and revive the [[Dragon Ball (artifact)|Dragon Balls]]. Dende accepts, and continues to serve as the God throughout the rest of the series.
He is voiced in the original Japanese version by [[Tomiko Suzuki]].
'''Enma Daio''' (''Enma Daiō'') (FUNimation dub: '''King Yemma''') is a giant red [[Oni (folklore)|oni]] who judges the dead. Residing in the Other World, it is his job to decide whether dead people go to [[Heaven]] or [[Hell]]. In the English [[anime]], his name is '''King Yemma'''. He is based on the Hindu deity [[Yama (Buddhism and Chinese mythology)|Yama]]. He is first seen when [[Son Goku (Dragon Ball)|Son Goku]] is killed. He was until then the only person who has ever run all the way along [[Serpent Road]], but grants Goku permission to attempt this. He is apparently skilled to some degree in fighting, as he claims he bested [[List of Saiyans in Dragon Ball#Raditz|Raditz]] when the latter attempted to fight him while passing through his realm. According to [[#Deities|Kami]], North Kaio is much stronger than he is.
He is voiced in the original Japanese version by [[Daisuke Gōri]].
'''Gozu''' ("Ox-Head") and '''Mezu''' ("Horse-Head") (FUNimation dub: '''Goz''' and '''Mez''') are a pair of ''[[oni (mythology)|oni]]'' ([[ogre]]s) that appear only in [[anime]] [[Filler (media)|filler]] who attempt to help [[Son Goku (Dragon Ball)|Son Goku]] find his way back to Serpent Road after he falls down to [[Hell]] in the anime. However, in order for Goku to leave, he must "play" with them first. They squabble over which one of them will get the chance to play with the stranger first. After having rollicking games such as rock, paper, scissors, repeatedly launching Goku back to Serpent Road with a [[catapult]], and a wrestling match, they eventually show Goku a way back but he ends up in [[#Enma Daio|Enma Daio]]'s desk drawer meaning he has to start all over again. These two characters are never described or given an appearance in the [[manga]] by [[Akira Toriyama]], but their designs are fashioned from two of Toriyama's ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' characters, [[List of Earthlings in Dragon Ball#Shen|Shen]] and [[List of Earthlings in Dragon Ball#Man-Wolf|Man-Wolf]] (in his human form).
'''{{nihongo|Kami|神|''Kami''}}''' known respectfully in [[Japanese language|Japanese]] as Kami-sama as a title meaning "God". Kami was the good half of the Namekian that came to be the God of Earth, with his evil half becoming the [[#Piccolo Daimao|Piccolo Daimao]]. In the [[anime]], he competed with [[#Garlic|Garlic]] for the position and won. 300 years later, Garlic's son [[#Garlic Jr.|Garlic Jr.]], bearing a perpetual grudge, attempted twice to fight for the title and lost. He then watched over the planet for centuries to ensure its safety.
Seeing the spawn of his other half [[Piccolo (Dragon Ball)|Piccolo]] threatening the planet, he goes to Earth in secret and competes in the [[Tenka-ichi Budōkai]] by [[List of Earthlings in Dragon Ball#Shen|possessing a human]]. After advancing to the semifinals he battles Piccolo, trying to trap him in a bottle using the [[List of Dragon Ball special abilities#Mafūba|Mafūba]]. Piccolo is able to overcome it by reversing the attack, trapping Kami in the bottle himself. He then swallows the bottle for safe keeping before losing Kami in his match with [[Son Goku (Dragon Ball)|Son Goku]]. During the [[Android Saga]], Kami agreed to merge and rejoin Piccolo so they would be a match for the androids.
He is voiced in the original Japanese version by [[Takeshi Aono]].
'''{{nihongo|Karin|カリン|''Karin''}}''' (English dubs: '''Whiskers the Wonder Cat''', '''Korin''') is a ''Senbyō'' ([[wiktionary:仙|仙]][[wiktionary:猫|猫]] ''immortal cat'') who has lived at the top of Karin Tower for more than 800 years. The tower is located right underneath [[Earth (Dragon Ball)#Kami's Lookout|Kami's Lookout]], which is a few hundred meters{{Verify source|date=May 2007}} higher than Karin's tower and can be reached by [[Son Goku (Dragon Ball)|Son Goku]]'s [[Ru Yi Bang|nyoi-bō]]. Karin is a deity just below the rank of Kami, and plays a large role in ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' when he trains Goku during the [[Commander Red Saga]] to defeat [[List of Earthlings in Dragon Ball#Tao Pai Pai|Tao Pai Pai]]. At later points in the series and in ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'', Karin lends his assistance periodically to Goku and the other characters by growing them Senzu, which only grow in a tree in his tower.
He is voiced in the original Japanese version by [[Ichirō Nagai]] and then later by [[Naoki Tatsuta]].
'''{{nihongo|Mr. Popo|ミスター・ポポ|''Misutā Popo''}}''' is an [[immortality|immortal]] [[Genie|djinn]] who lives with [[#Kami|Kami]] in [[Earth (Dragon Ball)#Kami's Lookout|Kami's Lookout]] and is bound there eternally as the gardener and caretaker. He has served every other Kami (God/Guardian) of the Earth since the beginning of time. He was trained by the recent Kami himself and trained Goku for 3 years in order to fight [[Piccolo (Dragon Ball)|Piccolo]].
To some, Mr. Popo is claimed to be a variant of [[Blackface|darky iconography]], a [[racist]] style of caricature known as [[blackface]]. [http://www.ferris.edu/jimcrow/newforms/] In May of [[2000]], an article written by children's book author [[Carole Boston Weatherford]] claimed that Mr. Popo, along with the [[Pokémon]] [[Jynx (Pokémon)|Jynx]], were derogatory stereotypes. [http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1:63650354/Japans+bigoted+exports+to+kids~R~(Opinion).html] In [[2004]], [[Viz Media|Viz]] began to downsize Mr. Popo's large lips digitally in the American re-release of the ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' [[manga]] [http://www.daizex.com/general/ask/archive/2004_07_04.shtml#2].
He is voiced in the original Japanese version by [[Toku Nishio]].
==Kaio==
The '''Kaio''' (''Kaiō'') are upper-level gods of the fictional ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' universe. The name Kaio is a conjunction of the word for "kai" for 'World' and "o" for 'King'. There are five per galaxy, with one presiding over each of the four quadrants in a galaxy, and the last (the '''Dai Kaio''' or '''Grand Kai''') overseeing them all. The Kaio are responsible for the lower-level gods, who rule over individual planets. The Kaio reside in the [[Shinto#Afterlife|heavens]] (Other World in English adaptations).
(FUNimation dub: '''Grand Kai''')
'''Dai Kaio''' is above the ruler of other Kaio, including Son Goku's trainer North Kaio. He's portrayed as an aged hipster, wearing jeans and a denim jacket and constantly listening to rock music on his boom box. His home is the Dai Kaio's Planet. He's stronger than the other Kaio, but although he never admits it, he is not in the same league as Goku. He is reputed to be the greatest fighter in the universe, but he has been out of training for centuries.
Even though he is the teacher of the greatest warriors in the multiverse, Dai Kaio (much like North Kaio) is more of a sweet and a kind grandfatherly figure than a traditional disciplinarian. Paying no heed to respectful-but-cold formality, he lovingly treats his social-inferiors as equals and dotes on them as if they were his own grandchildren. In the Japanese version, he affectionately addresses younger warriors with suffix of "-chan", a term of endearment usually reserved for young children. (e.g., Goku-chan, Paikuhan-chan)
Although he doesn't appear in the manga, a Dai Kaio is mentioned. His characterization in the anime was suggested to the production staff by [[Akira Toriyama]] himself.<ref>Published in [http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4088735463 ''Son Gokû Densetsu'' Anime Guide Book]; referenced in [http://www.daizex.com/index.shtml Daizenshuu EX Podcast #0054].</ref>
'''East Kaio''' (FUNimation dub: '''East Kai''') The only female Kaio. This Kaio is a woman with pale lime-green skin and orange-blonde hair at the After-Life Budoukai, though she had one participant from her quadrant that passed the preliminaries. Her quadrant is known for having fast fighters, like Globe. She rides around on a hover bike, and is always looking for a good challenger. She's also very hard on all her pupils. An anime-only character.
She is voiced in the original Japanese version by [[Keiko Yamamoto]].
'''{{nihongo|North Kaio|北の界王|''Kita no Kaiō''}}''' (English dubs: '''King Kai''', '''North Kai''') is the Kaio of the quadrant of the galaxy where the planets [[Earth (Dragon Ball)|Earth]] and [[Namek]] reside. In the English [[manga]], he is also known as ''Kaiô-sama'' or ''Lord of the Worlds''. Claiming himself to be very humorous; he will only teach his subordinates if they laugh at his non-comedic jokes (''really'' bad puns in the original Japanese). He can only train those who can reach the end of Snakeway. He trained Goku, who succeeded in doing so and taught him very powerful techniques that have been essential to many of his battles: including the [[List of Dragon Ball special abilities#Genki Dama|Genki Dama]] (''Spirit Bomb'' in English dubs) and the ''Kaio Ken''.
He is voiced in the original Japanese version by [[Jōji Yanami]].
'''{{nihongo|Bubbles|バボルス|}}''' North Kaio's pet monkey Bubbles serves as Goku's first training exercise, which is to catch Bubbles. It seems easy, but the gravity on Kaio-sama's planet is 10x Earth's gravity and Bubbles is perfectly used to it. It takes Goku three weeks to catch Bubbles, but only a few seconds for [[Piccolo (Dragon Ball)|Piccolo]] to catch him. He is killed when [[Cell (Dragon Ball)|Cell]] self-destructs on Kaio-sama's planet. He was named after [[Michael Jackson]]'s pet chimp [[Bubbles (chimpanzee)|Bubbles]].
He is voiced in the original Japanese version by [[Naoki Tatsuta]].
'''Gregory''' [[#North Kaio|North Kaio]]'s motor-mouth [[grasshopper]], he only appears in the [[anime]] and in a couple of movies. He's very respectful of his master and always speaks highly of him, but he'll talk trash to anyone he doesn't believe is better than him. He was the main objective in North Kaio's test and the point of the test was to catch and hit Gregory on the head with a hammer (he is very fast). He is killed when [[Cell (Dragon Ball)|Cell]] blows up on North Kaio's planet. Although Gregory did not appear in the [[manga]] by [[Akira Toriyama]], he was one of the many [[Filler (media)|filler]] characters designed by Toriyama for the show [http://www.daizex.com/guides/rumors/].
'''South Kaio''' (FUNimation dub: '''South Kai''') The only other Kaio to appear in the [[manga]], South Kaio is a rival of [[#North Kaio|North Kaio]]. He claims his pupil, Papoi, would mop the floor with [[Son Goku (Dragon Ball)|Son Goku]]. In the [[anime]] [[Filler (media)|filler]], South Kaio also makes light of North Kaio for being deceased. His quadrant has the reputation of being a peaceful area of space because all the fighters from this quadrant are comparatively weak.
'''West Kaio''' (FUNimation dub: '''West Kai''') A tiny monocle-wearing Kaio with purple skin who acts as [[#North Kaio|North Kaio]]'s adversary during the Ano-Yo-Ichi Budōkai [[Filler (media)|filler]], usually mocking North Kaio about being a "dead" Kai. His greatest student is [[Paikuhan]], and he always boasts about how much stronger Paikuhan is than any other Kaio's pupils, particularly those of North Kaio, despite Goku defeating Paikuhan in competition and far surpassing him later, to North Kaio's glee. He doesn't appear in the manga by [[Akira Toriyama]].
He is voiced in the original Japanese version by [[Bin Shimada]].
<br style="clear:both">
==Kaioshin==
Above the Kaio are the '''Kaioshin''' (in the English anime dubbed '''Supreme Kai'''), who look after the entire universe. Similar to the regular Kaio; there is one for each quadrant of the universe and a '''Dai Kaioshin''' to preside over them. Or at least that was the established order, until [[Majin Buu]] killed or absorbed most of the Kaioshin, with only the East Kaioshin surviving.
<br style="clear:both">
'''Dai Kaioshin''' (FUNimation dub: '''Grand Supreme Kai''') God of all Kaiōshin, Dai Kaioshin was a fat, kind being. He is arguably the strongest non-fused character in the DBZ universe. In a flashback, he is shown easily beating Kid Buu in a fight, which is the strongest version of Majin Buu, a version which proved to be even stronger than Goku at super saiyan stage three. Buu, realizing that he is outmatched, attempts to absorb the Dai Kaioshin, an act which usually makes Buu's strenght increase in proportion to the strenght of whomever he abosorbs. The Dai Kaioshin is absorbed by [[Majin Buu#Kid Buu|Kid Buu]], and because Dai Kaioshin was so good, Buu actually became weaker and slightly more susceptible to control. His losing power is due to Kid Buu being a creature of pure evil, and any good distorts his nature and nullifies that power. Dai Kaioshin is never released by Majin Buu like some other absorptions. Being the highest deity mentioned in Dragon Ball, Dai Kaioshin is the God of the ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' [[fictional universe]]. When Elder Kaioshin is released from the Zetto Sword, he takes over this role instead.
'''{{nihongo|East Kaioshin|東の界王神|''Higashi no Kaiōshin''}}''' (FUNimation dub: '''Supreme Kai''', '''East Supreme Kai''') is the supreme ruler of the Eastern Quadrant of the Universe along with his best friends, and under his superior, [[#Dai Kaioshin|Dai Kaioshin]] (Grand Supreme Kai). He is short, purple skinned with white hair, dressed in a posh Kaio outfit and always accompanied by his ever-loyal bodyguard and friend, [[#Kibit|Kibito]]. East Kaioshin survived [[Majin Buu]]'s assault on the Kaioshin Kai to become the only surviving Kaioshin. Afterwards, he is typically called only Kaioshin, since there are no others to confuse him with. During the Buu saga, he becomes fused with Kibito to form [[#Kibitoshin|Kibitoshin]].
He is voiced in the original Japanese version by [[Yūji Mitsuya]].
'''North Kaioshin''' (''North Kaiōshin'') (FUNimation dub: '''North Supreme Kai''') is one of the rulers of the universe in the [[anime]] of ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]''. He is old in appearance, looking similar to the familiar [[#East Kaioshin|East Kaioshin]], but with a larger head, and a [[moustache]].
According to the [[Filler (media)|filler]], North Kaioshin was peacefully fishing one fine day on the Kaiōshin Kai, when [[Majin Buu#Kid Buu|Kid Buu]] attacked. All four Kaiōshin fought back against the monster, but the only survivor was East Kaioshin. North Kaioshin was one of Buu's first victims.
'''South Kaioshin''' (''South Kaiōshin'') (FUNimation dub: '''South Supreme Kai''') is a tall, muscular, red-haired Kaiōshin with the greatest power out of them all. He was able to fight evenly with [[Majin Buu#Kid Buu|Kid Buu]] when he attacked the Kaiōshin Kai, but was eventually absorbed, causing [[Majin Buu]] to [[Shapeshifting|transform]] into a taller and more muscular version of himself (known sometimes as '''Mega Buu''', '''Super Kid Buu''' or '''Buff Buu''' to fans). Majin Buu only assumes Super Kid Buu form twice: once after absorbing South Kaioshin, and a second time for a brief moment when reverting to his true form of Kid Buu.
'''West Kaioshin''' (''West Kaiōshin'') (FUNimation dub: '''West Supreme Kai''') is one of the rulers of the universe in the anime DBZ. She is the only female Kaiōshin, very much similar to the familiar East Kaiōshin only with female features and longer hair.
She was the second strongest of the Kaiōshin, able to fight with Kid Buu for a time, before being the first Kaiōshin to be killed.
'''{{nihongo|Ro Dai Kaioshin|老界王神|''Rō Daiō Kaiōshin''}}''' (FUNimation dub: '''Elder Kai''') is a Kaioshin who came out of the Z sword, in which he had been trapped by an old enemy. He resembles the East Kaioshin, but with an older, wrinkled face, and a small mustache. [[Son Gohan]] releases him during the [[Majin Buu Saga]] when he breaks the Zetto sword, while trying to cut a block made of the strongest material in the universe. After being released, he agreed to help Gohan unlock his full potential so he could defeat [[Majin Buu]], but only in exchange for getting to caress and fondle an [[Earth (Dragon Ball)|Earth]] woman, whom Goku suggested that it should be [[Bulma]] ([[Vegeta]] yelled at him for this suggestion later on). "This guy is a hentai", he admits, [[Perversion|perverse]] alike to [[Muten-Rôshi]] in a manner, but is even more knowledgeable and powerful with no comparison.
Centuries ago, he used to be quite handsome by his own standards, but a hideous witch came up to him and stole one of his [[Fusion (Dragon Ball)#Potara Earrings|Potara Fusion Earrings]] and put it on. Ro Dai Kaioshin was instantly combined with the witch permanently. While he lost his looks, he gained more magical power. In the [[Majin Buu Saga]] he sacrifices his life so [[Son Goku (Dragon Ball)|Son Goku]] can live, and gives him the Potara earrings to fuse with Gohan on Earth. However, as he was already residing in heaven, his death had little effect aside from producing a halo over his head.
In the [[Baby Saga]] of ''[[Dragon Ball GT]]'', he helps Goku become much stronger by helping him regrowing his tail, a painful process involving a giant set of pliers. After Goku has his tail back, he is able to turn into a [[Super Saiyan#Super Saiyan 4|Super Saiyan 4]] and defeat [[Baby (Dragon Ball)|Baby]].
(FUNimation dub: Kibito)
'''Kibit''' is the greatest ally of East Kaioshin. He, like [[#Dende|Dende]], has [[List of fictional characters who can heal|the power of healing]], which helps the [[Z Fighters]] in many situations. Kibit was to fight [[Son Gohan]] in the 25<sup>th</sup> Budokai but instead asked him to reveal his full power. He was killed by [[#Dabra|Dabra]] during reconnaissance on [[#Babidi|Babidi]]'s ship, but is later brought back to life due to the [[Dragon Ball (artifact)|Dragon Balls]]. He has the ability to heal and restore strength to other beings and [[List of Dragon Ball special abilities#Shunkan Idō|the ability to teleport to any planet]] without the use of an energy signature called ''Kai Kai''.
Kibit ultimately fuses with the East Kaioshin permanently to create '''Kibitoshin'''.
'''Kibitoshin''' (FUNimation dub: '''Kibito Kai''') is the result of [[fusion (Dragon Ball)|fusion]] between [[#East Kaioshin|East Kaioshin]] and [[#Kibit|Kibit]] via [[Fusion (Dragon Ball)#Potara Earring Fusion|Potara fusion earrings]]. He becomes very helpful in the [[Kid Buu Saga]]. Added to Kibitoshin's fighting ability would be East Kaioshin's [[psionic]] moves and Kibito's teleporting and healing abilities. Nevertheless, Kibitoshin never fights in the series. In the [[manga]], his name is known as "Kibitokai".
Unlike other fusions, Kaiōshin seems to be in control and speaks with one voice. The character is also known by the names Kibitokai and Kaiobito.
He is voiced in the original Japanese version by [[Yūji Mitsuya]].
<br style="clear:both">
==Dragons==
'''Black-Star Shenlong''' (FUNimation dub: '''Black Star Shenron''') was made by [[#Kami|Kami]] when he and [[#Piccolo Daimao|Piccolo Daimao]] were still one entity. He can only be summoned by the "Black Star Dragon Balls". This dragon can grant any wish, including killing someone, something neither Porunga nor Shenlong can do. After the wish has been made, the [[Dragon Ball (artifact)|Dragon Balls]] spread around the universe; if the balls aren't brought back to the planet on which the wish was made, in a standard year, the planet will explode.
'''Evil Shenlong''' (FUNimation dub: '''Black Smoke Shenron''') - In ''[[Dragon Ball GT]]'', after the death of [[Super Android 17]], [[Son Goku (Dragon Ball)|Son Goku]] and his friends put together the seven [[Dragon Ball (artifact)|Dragon Balls]]. Instead of [[#Shenlong|Shenlong]], a cigar-smoking black dragon appears, that represents the minus energy that accumulated for many years (because the Dragon Balls use positive energy). This dragon is then divided into seven evil dragons, one for every Dragon Ball and wish that was made in 20-30 years ago in the past. Evil Shenlong pays homage to the blue dragon seen in the intro for ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]''.
<br clear="all" />
'''{{nihongo|Porunga|ポルンガ}}''' is [[Namek]]'s wish granting dragon, summoned when all the [[Dragon Ball (artifact)|Dragon Balls]] of Namek are gathered. He is more brutal looking than the dragon of [[Earth (Dragon Ball)|Earth]], [[#Dragons|Shenlong]], with a heavily muscled upper body and traits that resemble a [[Namekian]], although he acts a bit friendlier. He is 3x bigger than Shenlong.{{issue}} He is also somewhat stronger and can grant three wishes instead of one, so long as it doesn’t exceed his creators power, his creator is still alive, and each request is delivered in the Namekian dialect.
Initially, Porunga had ability to bring only one person back to life at a time (though he could bring people back multiple times), as compared to Shenlong who can bring back an unspecified number of people but can only do so once. Later, Porunga's power is strengthened to bring back as many lives as needed. A powerful god known as [[#Rou Dai Kaioshin|Rou Dai Kaioshin]] criticized this as "a blasphemous act that disrupts the order of nature" but did not seem to mind after that.
He is voiced in the original Japanese version by [[Masaharu Satō]].
(English dubs: '''Dragon God''', '''Eternal Dragon''', '''Shenron''')
'''{{nihongo|Shenlong|神龍|''Shenlong''}}''' (''lit.'' "Dragon God" or "Divine Dragon"), is the wish granting dragon of Earth. The Shenlong of the Black Star Dragon Balls is red, opposed to the Shenlong of Earth who is green.
Shenlong can be summoned by gathering all seven of the Dragon Balls of Earth. Shenlong can bestow any wish as long as it does not exceed the power of his creator, who must be still alive (i.e. [[#Kami|Kami]] or [[#Dende|Dende]]). Multiple times in the ''Dragon Ball'' series, Shenlong threatens to kill the summoner if they do not say a wish on time, or if they do not say a wish at all. Shenlong cannot bring back a person from the dead more than once. The Dragon Balls cannot be used for 365 Earth days after a wish is made, as they turn to stone. The Earth Dragon Balls are relatively small, each about the size of a large orange, much smaller than the namekian Dragon Balls, which are the size of beach balls.
The base for Shenlong is a stone statue kept by his creator. If Shenlong is killed, the Dragon Balls turn to stone. The statue also shatters. If the creator or another Namekian wishes to, they can rebuild the statue to give life back to Shenlong and the Dragon Balls. This happened after Shenlong granted [[#Piccolo Daimao|Piccolo Daimao]]'s wish for youth.
While Kami and Piccolo weren't merged, Shenlong could only grant one wish. After Dende brought him back to life, he was able to grant two wishes (three if the first does not revive more than one at a time). If the summoner wants, he can only make one wish. This makes the Dragon Balls turn to stone for only six months.
He is voiced in the original Japanese version by [[Kenji Utsumi]] (DB, DBZ up to latter part of Freeaza Saga, and [[List of Dragon Ball video games|Video Games]]) and [[Masaharu Satō]] (DBZ end of Freeza Saga and on).
==Evil Dragons==<!-- This section is linked from [[Vegeta]] -->
(FUNimation dub: '''Shadow Dragons''')
The '''Evil Dragons''' are a group of characters from ''[[Dragon Ball GT]]''. They were born from overusing the [[Dragon Ball (artifact)|Dragon Balls]], as every wish creates negative energy that takes many years to dispel. Despite warnings from Rō Dai Kaiōshin, the [[Z Fighters]] have used the Dragon Balls much more often than that, and too much negative energy built up. This meant that the Dragon Balls had cracked, and when the Z Fighters tried to summon [[#Dragons|Shenlong]] at the end of the [[Super Jinzōningen #17 Saga]], the first Evil Dragon appeared instead, Evil Shenlong informs the Z Fighters about the negative energy, and then split himself into seven more Evil Dragons, one for each Dragon Ball and now the Z-fighters must defeat their greatest ally. The Evil Dragons are listed in order of the number of stars of their respective Dragon Balls.
'''Yi Xing Long''' (FUNimation dub: '''Syn Shenron''', '''Omega Shenron''') (Ocean's dub: '''Ii Shenron''') '''{{nihongo|Yī Xīng Lóng|一星龍|''Īshinron''|''lit.'' "One-Star Dragon"}}''' is by far the most powerful Evil Dragon, considering how he was made. Liang Xing Long, San Xing Long, Si Xing Long, Wu Xing Long, Liu Xing Long, and Qi Xing Long were created by a certain wish, all of them different. Yi Xing Long is all of the negative energy of the universe put into one being. When he first fights [[Son Goku (Dragon Ball)|Son Goku]], he takes a beating, but then gets desperate and absorbs all the other [[Dragon Ball (artifact)|Dragon Balls]] to reach his ultimate form: Super Yi Xing Long (almost a fusion between all seven Dragon Balls, his form was nearly the same but he wielded all the abilities of the Evil Dragons). This is the most powerful villain in the Dragon Ball Universe, and apart from the [[Super Saiyan|Super Saiyan 4]] [[Gogeta]] (who failed due to his own cockiness) the most powerful fighter at the very end. He was finally defeated by a giant Genki Dama with energy gathered from all over the universe. Note: If he was created by a wish it is supected to be the one that revived those killed by Freiza on Namek during the Namek conflict.
He is voiced in the original Japanese version by [[Hidekatsu Shibata]].
'''Liang Xing Long''' (FUNimation dub: '''Haze Shenron''') ''{{nihongo|Liǎng Xīng Lóng|二星龍|''Rianshinron''|''lit.'' "Two-Star Dragon"}}'' is a dragon-like [[villain]] and the first of the seven Evil Dragons to appear. Liang Xing Long came into being when [[Son Goku (Dragon Ball)|Son Goku]] used the Dragon Balls to bring Bora back to life after Taopaipai had killed him. When Goku made his wish, Negative Energy increased within the Dragon Balls, particularly within the ''Èr Xīng Qiú'' (''Kanji'': 二星球; ''katakana'': アルシンチュウ, ''Rōmaji'': Arushinchū, ''English'': Two-Star Ball). When the Dragon Balls became completely corrupted by Negative Energy, the Er Xing Qui flew into a lake and transformed into Liang Xing Long.
The Evil Dragon's power was to use his Negative Energy to pollute water and slowly kill all surrounding life. He claimed to be the most powerful of the Evil Dragons but [[#Wu Xing Long|Wu Xing Long]] claimed to be the strongest as well. Wu Xing Long also said that Liang Xing Long was really the weakest. Another was Qi Xing Long (the strongest was really [[#Yi Xing Long|Yi Xing Long]]).
<br clear="all" />
'''San Xing Long''' (FUNimation dub: '''Eis Shenron''') ''Sān Xīng Lóng'' (三星龍 ''Sanshinron'' "Three-Star Dragon") is the Dragon of Ice and is also Si Xing Long's brother. San Xing Long joins the fight against Son Goku. San Xing Long was born when the Z warriors made the wish to cancel the deeds of Majin Buu from the memories of those who were not involved in the struggle against Buu (Anyone except the Z warriors and their families and friends and possibly anyone who Buu was kind to eg the blind boy that Buu gave his eyesight back to). This was done so that Good Buu/Mr Buu (the good half of Fat Buu and the good prescence within Super Buu and briefly Kid Buu (In the Super Buu state the good and evil halves did not share as the good half was a prisoner and the evil half ruled with some inluence from the good. In Kid Buu Good Buu was like a "bug" that prevented him from harming Mr Satan by giving the memories of Mr Satan's kindness to Buu) He is much more dishonorable and cowardly than his brother, hiding behind Pan's unconscious body when convenient, and blinding Son Goku in order to make the fight easier. Son Goku eventually proved he didn't need to see in order to beat him, and killed San Xing Long while still blind. He also has the power to manipulate ice and moisture.
<br clear="all" />
'''Si Xing Long''' (FUNimation dub: '''Nova Shenron''') ''Sì Xīng Lóng'' (四星龍 ''Sūshinron'' "Four-Star Dragon"), the Dragon of Fire, was born when [[#Piccolo Daimao|Piccolo Daimao]] wished for youth when [[Son Goku (Dragon Ball)|Son Goku]] was around fifteen years of age. Si Xing Long controls the fire element and is able to both use strong fire attacks and be unaffected by them. Initially his skin is covered by a magma-looking armor that boosts his defense but slows him down, eventually he gets rid of that shell and reveals his orange colored skin. He watches his brother (San Xing Long) fight Goku, but is killed by Yi Xing Long before he can fight Goku again. He is temporarily revived when Goku eats the Four-Star Dragon Ball, but is soon killed and absorbed by Yi Xing Long again. Of all the dragons he is the only one which shows compassion towards other beings (this is due to the fact that he has a sense of honour and does not like to fight and win unfairly, this trait would eventually lead to him reforming and befriending Goku during the battle. Even though Goku won the fight in the end he spared Nouva's life because he spared Pan when he could have killed her. He tries to help Goku and Vegeta but was killed yet again and his dragonball was reabsorbed by Yi Xing Long in the final battle.

'''Wu Xing Long''' (FUNimation dub: '''Rage Shenron''') Despite his small size, ''Wǔ Xīng Lóng'' (五星龍 ''Wushinron'' "Five-Star Dragon") carries the power of electricity. He creates a slimy substance that draws the energy out of any object that it touches; the energy is then transferred to his body as strength. The more Wu Xing Long absorbs, the larger he gets, which turns out to be his downfall. Just as he is about to kill [[Son Goku (Dragon Ball)|Son Goku]], rain starts to fall. It turns out that he expanded himself too large and had nowhere to hide from the precipitation, which ultimately [[short circuit|short-circuited]] him out. Although Wu survived the short-circuit, Goku killed him as soon as it was apparent that Wu Xing Long still wanted to eliminate Goku, and the [[Dragon Ball (artifact)|Dragon Ball]] embedded in the dragon was restored.
Wu Xing Long was born when [[Son Goku (Dragon Ball)|Son Goku]] was wished back to life before [[Vegeta]] and [[Nappa (Dragon Ball)|Nappa]] landed on planet [[Earth (Dragon Ball)|Earth]].

'''Liu Xing Long''' (FUNimation dub: '''Oceanus Shenron''') The Dragon of Water and Wind, ''Liù Xīng Lóng'' (六星龍 ''Riushinron'' "Six-Star Dragon"), dons the persona of Princess Oto. Because she captures schools of fish and rains them down on the villagers, the fishermen don't have to fish, and the people in this small fishing village worship her as a god. However, a young villager is suspicious of her, since the [[seagull]]s had been acting strangely since her arrival. When asked which wish she was born from, Liu Xing Long becomes angry and embarrassed. This is because she was born when [[Oolong (Dragon Ball)|Oolong]] wished for a pair of women's [[panties]]. Her powers revolve around [[hurricane]]s: She can generate a hurricane as defense, with the wind diverting any attack that hits it, as well as for offense, with the wind causing damage to anything and anyone it touches. Liu Xing Long can also use wind to put up a disguise to make herself appear far more beautiful (in the form of Oto) than her true appearance, which is closer to an [[ogre]].

'''Qi Xing Long''' (FUNimation dub: '''Naturon Shenron''') ''Qī Xīng Lóng'' (七星龍 ''Chīshinron'' "Seven-Star Dragon") is one of the seven Evil Dragons, and is the [[dragon]] of [[earthquakes]]. He is also the dragon of the ''Qī Xīng Qiú'' (''Chīshinchū'' "Seven-Star Ball"). Qi Xing Long was born when [[Bulma]] wished for the people killed by [[Vegeta]] in the Tenkaichi Budōkai to be revived. When [[Son Goku (Dragon Ball)|Goku]], [[Pan (Dragon Ball)|Pan]] and [[Giru]] were searching for the Dragon Balls, Qi Xing Long was the 4th Dragon they found. Goku easily defeated Qi Xing Long, but then the evil dragon tricked Pan and absorbed her. He gained much power, but due to cockiness (a flaw of many Dragon Ball characters) Goku was able to retrieve Pan, destroy Qi Xing Long and get the Qi Xing Qiu.

==Demonic creatures==
'''{{nihongo|Babidi|バビディ|''Babidi''}}''' was determined to resurrect Majin Buu so that he could continue his father's work, namely conquering the universe, and thus make him proud. Babidi took over the minds of [[#Dabra|Dabra]], [[List of aliens in Dragon Ball#Pui Pui|Pui Pui]], [[List of aliens in Dragon Ball#Yakon|Yakon]], and [[Vegeta]] to help him in this cause. Babidi's mental abilities are very powerful, surpassing those of various mystical individuals who reside in Other World such as the telepathic [[#North Kaio|North Kaio]], and illusionist Princess Snake. After Buu is released, Vegeta nearly kills Babidi when trying to destroy Buu. When Buu is seemingly destroyed, Piccolo bisects Babidi and leaves him for dead. After Buu revives himself, he finds Babidi who then orders Buu to revive him. Babidi orders Buu to kill Dabra, Supreme Kai, Gohan, Piccolo, Goten, Trunks, Vegeta (before his sacrifice) and whoever else stands in his way. As Buu is very disobedient, Babidi can only control him by threatening to seal him up. After an encounter with Super Saiyan 3 Goku, Buu learns that he is stronger than Babidi. Realizing this, Buu strangles Babidi (so Babidi can't say the spell to seal him up), and then punches his head off in rebellion. Babidi is seen in hell with Cell and Freeza but wanted the Z fighters to win after having created a grudge against Majin Buu. Babidi will be a playable character in the upcoming Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3.
He is voiced in the original Japanese version by [[Jōji Yanami]].
(FUNimation dub: '''Dabura''')
'''{{nihongo|Dabura|ダブラ|''Dabura''}}''' is the king of a Demon Realm, and Babidi's right-hand man, being placed under his control by a spell. Dabura has the special power of turning his enemies to stone, simply by spitting on them. His name is originally taken from a Japanese pronunciation of the last half of the incantation [[Abracadabra|"Abraca<u>dabra</u>"]]. He fights Gohan in both his normal and Super Saiyan forms to gather energy for Buu, but before they can finish, he notices Vegeta has evil within him. This allows Babidi to grant him power. When Buu is released, Dabura tries to kill him, but is turned into a cookie and devoured by Buu. (Upon his death in the anime, Enma Daiō decides that the usual punishment of exile to Hell is what Dabura would actually desire, so he instead sends him to the most peaceful region of Heaven.) In the anime, Dabura is later seen wandering as a "good-spirited" soul consumed with love (creeping out anyone who meets him). It is mentioned by Goku that Dabura is as strong as Perfect Cell.
He is voiced in the original Japanese version by [[Ryūzaburō Ōtomo]].
<br clear="all" />
'''{{nihongo|Bibidi|ビビディ|''Bibidi''}}''' is a short wizard who brought [[Majin Buu]] into existence millions of years ago. Quite likely drunk with the power of commanding such a creature, Bibidi embarked on a quest to dominate the universe. This quest involved the elimination of most of the Kaioshin that ruled the universe at the time. When Buu became disobedient, however, Bibidi prudently sealed Buu within a large purple Egg while going from world to world. He is eventually killed by [[#East Kaioshin|East Kaioshin]] after setting Buu's egg on planet Earth. He isn't seen at all in the manga and is only seen in a few flashbacks during the anime of the [[Buu Saga]]. His name is part of a [[word play]] from the classic [[Walt Disney Pictures|Walt Disney]] motion picture, [[Cinderella]]: ''Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo'', which in turn was based on European folklore.
He is voiced in the original Japanese version by [[Jōji Yanami]].
'''Garlic''' - The father of [[#Garlic Jr.|Garlic Jr.]] He competed with the original [[Piccolo (Dragon Ball)|Piccolo]] for the seat of [[#Kami|Kami]], but was not able to ascend to the throne because the previous Kami saw his evil ambitions. He revolted, but was sealed away in a negative space.
<br style="clear:both">
===Garlic Junior===
{{nihongo|'''Garlic Junior'''|ガーリック・ジュニア|Gārikku Jyunia}} is a demon that appears in [[Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone]], and was the main villain during a filler saga in the anime. His father was imprisoned by [[#Kami|Kami]] in the realm of darkness, leaving Garlic Jr. with a deep feeling of resentment and desire for revenge. He collects the Dragon Balls, effectively gaining immortality. He is defeated when faced with an angry Gohan, who pushes Garlic Jr. into the Dead Zone, an alternate dimension he can freely open. Though defeated, he later reappears in the [[Garlic Jr. Saga]] in the gap between the [[Freeza Saga|Freeza]] and [[Trunks Saga|Trunks]] sagas, and battles once more against the combined efforts of [[Kuririn]], [[Piccolo (Dragon Ball)|Piccolo]], and [[Son Gohan]]. He uses his power source, the Makyo-sei, to escape the Dead Zone, and uses the Black Water Mist, which causes those who breathed it in to become mindless demon slaves under his rule. He is stopped after Gohan destroys the Makyo-sei, which drains his power, leaving him trapped in the Dead Zone once again.
His resemblance is of a much earlier villain in the series, [[List of Earthlings in Dragon Ball#Pilaf|Pilaf]]. The two sound and almost look identical to each other, both being cunning villainous dwarves voiced by [[Chuck Huber]] and [[Shigeru Chiba]]. However, whereas Pilaf is a mere [[comic relief]] character, Garlic Jr. is a much more serious villain, a clear reflection of the change in the tone of the entire ''Dragon Ball'' series as a whole.
Garlic Jr. appears as a [[Player character|playable character]] in ''[[Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2]]'' with his super form as a transformation.
He is voiced in the original movie by [[Akira Kamiya]].
====Garlic Jr.'s minions====
All of Garlic Jr.'s minions have names that are puns of spices, like Garlic himself. Likewise, all of them share Garlic Jr.'s ability to increase their mass and muscle size, and their power (with this ability and possibly otherwise) seems to be amplified by their proximity to the planet '''Makyo-sei''' (literally '''Devil Star Planet''', known as the '''Makyo Star''' in the FUNimation dub), though none of them are as strong as he is.
In ''Dead Zone'', Garlic Jr. has three minions known as the '''''Three Patrons of Garlic''''', who help him gather the Dragon Balls so he can wish for immortality. They also attack Piccolo at the beginning of the movie in an attempt to kill Kami.
*'''Ginger''', the leader of the ''Patrons'', a short, dark green demon with red eyes who can pull swords out of his arms to fight with. He is killed (along with Nikki) by Goku's Kamehameha. {{anime voice|Kōji Totani}}
*'''Nikki''', a blue-skinned, white-haired demon with a taste for ripe fruit. Similar to Ginger, he can pull a sword out of his thigh to fight with. He fights against Goku alongside Ginger, and is killed by Goku's Kamehameha that also kills Ginger. {{anime voice|Shigeru Chiba}}
*'''Sansho''', the biggest and most intimidating of the trio, Sansho is arguably the strongest in terms of raw power but seems less intelligent than the other two. He ends up fighting alone against Piccolo, who easily kills him in revenge for attacking him at the beginning of the movie. {{anime voice|Yukitoshi Hori}}
Following Garlic Jr.'s escape from the Dead Zone, he is assisted by four new minions, the '''''[[Four Heavenly Kings|Four Monarchs]]''''' (called the '''''Spice Boys''''' in the English dubs), in his plan to plunge the world into darkness by pouring a demonic Aqua Mist (called Black Water Mist in the FUNimation dub).
*'''Gashyu''', the unofficial leader of the four, who has blue skin and white hair. He possesses the ability to grow his hair out very long to ensnare an opponent. His name is '''Spice''' in the FUNimation dub.
*'''Vinegar''', the largest of the four, who has purple skin and long brown hair.
*'''Tado''', a large, bovine-like being with long red hair and horns. His name is '''Mustard''' in the FUNimation dub.
*'''Salt''', the smallest member of the group, who has red skin and blonde hair.
Salt and Tado fight against Gohan and Kuririn and severely injure the latter. In revenge, Gohan kills both of them simultaneously. Gashyu and Vinegar last a little while longer. In a later fight, Vinegar gets imbedded into a wall by a punch from Gohan, whilst Gashyu is impaled on a spike. Both of them are seemingly killed here, but are revived by the rays of Makyo-sei, and, like their predecessors in ''Dead Zone'', bulk up to become almost as large as Garlic himself. Despite their increased power, however, they are both still killed again by Gohan, this time for good.
<br style="clear:both">
===Hildegarn===
(FUNimation dub: '''Hirudegarn''')
'''{{nihongo|Hildegarn|ヒルデガーン|''Hirudegān''}}''' is the enormous monster and main villain in the Dragon Ball Z movie, [[Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon|Wrath of the Dragon]]. He was created by a group of black magicians who cast a spell of negative energy on a menacing statue and brought it to life over 1,000 years before the time line of the Dragon Ball series on the planet Konats. Before it could destroy Konats, two brothers, Tapion and Minosha, managed to freeze the monster in his tracks by each playing their divine ocarina. This gave a priest the opportunity to cut the monster in half with a divine sword. Since Hildegarn couldn't be killed at the time, his upper-half was sealed in Tapion and the other half in Minosha. However, fearing that the monster might reappear someday, the brothers were separated, each sealed in a music box oracle, and were shot into opposite ends of the galaxy far away from each other. He has eventually revived on the planet Earth where Son Goku defeats him for good.
He is able to undergo a metamorphosis of sorts, and emerge a more powerful insect-like creature with the ability of [[Flight#In fiction|flight]]. Hirudugarn is only tangible when he's attacking, otherwise, he can instantly teleport away. In the movie, Hirudegarn makes his change over the ruins of a crushed building that looks like [[Tokyo Tower]]. This is nod to the classic Japanese movie monster [[Mothra]].
===Janemba===
(FUNimation dub: '''Janempa''' and '''Janemba''')
'''{{nihongo|Janemba|ジャネンバ|''Janenba''}}''' is the main villain of ''[[Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn|Fusion Reborn]]''. He is a being of pure evil created when a teenage ogre named Saike accidentally destroys all of the evil purifying tanks in Hell. The evil forms around him to create a giant, yellow, and childlike being that turns Hell into his own paradise. [[Son Goku (Dragon Ball)|Son Goku]] and [[#Paikuhan|Paikuhan]] are sent out to deal with him. Eventually, Janemba is beaten by Goku, but this forces Janemba to transform into a second state, which easily defeats Goku. Vegeta shows up to save him, and the two defeat Janemba by fusing into Gogeta, who purifies Janemba, turning him back into Saike.
His first form is chubby and very large. Janemba's intelligence is limited; the only word he knows how to say is his own name. His attacks involve things such as creating miniature versions of himself and of Goku, creating dimensional portals, and shooting [[Ki (Dragon Ball)|ki]] blasts from the 4 holes on his chest. After being defeated, Janemba transformed. The second form is more powerful and, unlike his previous form, is deadly serious. It was stated by that he had the power to destroy the universe (our universe as well as Heaven and Hell alike). This form is able to use a deconstruction/reconstruction teleportation known as the "Bunkai Teleport", portals with which he can attack through, stretch his arm at lengths, turn objects into deadly weapons, project his opponents' own ki back at them through portals, and wield a powerful sword capable of shooting beyond god-like ki energy out in strikes. He also has the power to sense any being in the universe as well as raise the dead. His powers also include [[Flight#In fiction|flight]], matter control and [[List of fictional characters who can warp reality|reality alteration]], a very powerful form of [[Psychokinesis|telekinesis]] and the power to infuse others with his evil force. Time and space are a mere play thing for him. Yet, strangely, he, and the barriers he creates around the entrance to the afterlife, have a weakness against harsh words. When yelled at or insulted, a thin layer of him is broken off like glass. However this weakness proved to only wound him as heaven's prize fighter Paikuhan could not destroy Janemba after exploiting this weakness.
He is voiced in the original Japanese version by [[Tesshō Genda]].
===Majin Buu===
{{main|Majin Buu}}
===Piccolo Daimao===
(English dubs: '''King Piccolo''')
'''{{nihongo|Piccolo Daimao|ピッコロ大魔王|''Pikkoro Daimaō''}}''' was originally introduced as the great demon king, being the evil half of the god of Earth ([[#Kami|Kami]]). It is later discovered that his biological heritage is extraterrestrial and not demonic, being from the alien race who inhabited the fictional planet called [[Planet Namek]]. He came into being after the original Namek that Daimao and Kami used to be split into two halves to rid himself of evil. Being formed of pure, concentrated evil, he designated himself as the Great Demon King (''Daimaō'') and laid siege to the world; at some point he also gave himself the name ''Piccolo'', which at first was a reference to the wind instrument, but then referenced as meaning "from another world" in the Namekian language. Eventually, the Demon King was imprisoned by [[List of Humans in Dragon Ball#Mutaito|Mutaito]] in an electric rice cooker for centuries by the suicidal [[List of Dragon Ball special abilities#Mafūba|Mafuba]] technique.
After being released from his confinement by Emperor [[List of Earthlings in Dragon Ball#Pilaf|Pilaf]], Piccolo decides to kill all the current and former finalists of the [[Tenkaichi Budokai|Tenka'ichi Budôkai]], thereby removing all those who might be able to learn the [[List of Dragon Ball special abilities#Mafūba|Mafuba]] attack in which would seal him away again. To aid him in this, he spawns several minions. Many people, including [[Kuririn]], are killed by his minions, making Goku and his friends seek revenge. Goku eventually confronts him, only to easily be beaten.
Piccolo is then able to gather the Dragon Balls to summon [[#Dragons|Shenlong]], allowing Piccolo to wish for the restoration of his youth, becoming more powerful than since he was returned to his physical prime. Piccolo then kills the dragon to prevent anyone else from making a wish that could stop him. With no one left who can properly challenge him, Piccolo overthrows the King of the World and becomes the ruler of the Earth. He institutes several evil policies such as releasing all criminals and a planned system of destruction. Goku ends up facing him, leading to his death. Before dying, he regurgitated one last egg that becomes [[Piccolo (Dragon Ball)|his son and reincarnation]] that sought revenge on Goku for years to come.
He is voiced in the original Japanese version by [[Takeshi Aono]].
====Piccolo Daimao's minions====
Piccolo Daimao created several offspring after his escape, however there is some inconsistency to them, and the reproduction of regular Nameks. However, it can be assumed that the offsprings demonic appearance can be a result of Daimao being pure evil, and therefore supernatural in nature.
'''Piano''' is [[#Piccolo Daimao|Piccolo Daimao]]'s first minion. The longest living member of Piccolo Daimao's mutant spawns. He is a [[pterodactyl]] humanoid figure, and is very bright. He is killed by Piccolo Daimao's crushing weight when Goku kicks Piccolo into him, killing him instantly.
He is voiced in the original Japanese version by [[Masato Hirano]].
<br clear="all" />
'''Tambourine''' is [[#Piccolo Daimao|Piccolo Daimao]]'s second minion and second most powerful servant, his orders were to hunt down and assassinate all contenders who participated in the [[Tenka-ichi Budôkai]] from the most recent dating back to the past ten and a few years so that Piccolo's hostile takeover is a smooth one. He was also ordered to pick-up up any [[Dragon Ball (artifact)|Dragon Balls]] he sees along the way if he happened to come across any. Tambourine kills [[Kuririn]] by chance, along with five other participants of the past tournaments. He even beat up a young [[Son Goku (Dragon Ball)|Goku]] because he was weak from his battle with [[Tenshinhan]] and blinded with rage because Tambourine had just killed his best friend. Tambourine also destroyed the Kintoun (Nimbus) cloud for good, until Goku got a new one from [[#Deities|Karin]] later in the series. Tambourine was vaporized to bits by Goku's Kamehameha.
He is voiced in the original Japanese version by [[Ryūsei Nakao]].
<br clear="all" />
'''Cymbal''' is [[#Piccolo Daimao|Piccolo Daimao]]'s third minion. He resembles a humanoid plump dragon. He is sent by Piccolo to search for the Dragon Balls. He is killed by [[Yajirobe]], who slices him in three with his [[katana]], then roasts him over a fire and eats him.
He is voiced in the original Japanese version by [[Daisuke Gōri]].
<br clear="all" />
'''Drum''' is [[#Piccolo Daimao|Piccolo Daimao]]'s fourth minion. Even though he is the shortest-lived evil spawn of Piccolo Daimao, up to this point he was the strongest since Piccolo created him when he was in his prime. Piccolo spits him out just as [[Tenshinhan]] arrives to try and trap Piccolo in the Mafu-ba. Drum attacks Tenshinhan, and clobbers him quite easily until [[Son Goku (Dragon Ball)|Son Goku]] arrives, at which point Goku flies at him and kills him with a single kick to the head.
He is voiced in the original Japanese version by [[Daisuke Gōri]].
<br clear="all" />
===Princess Snake===
'''Princess Snake''' is, in actuality, a giant [[snake]] [[temptress]] who lures people into her castle on Serpent Road. She also goes by the name Jadōshin. She became the Snake Princess in 739 B.C. and the only person who she ever tried to capture was Enma Daio about 500 years ago. When Goku comes along, she tries to steal his heart, but his sense of loyalty to his family and friends is of course far too strong (and the fact that he is completely clueless about things like love), so, she just turns into a giant fire-breathing snake and tries to eat him. It is unknown whether [[Piccolo (Dragon Ball)|Piccolo]], [[Tenshinhan]], [[List of Earthlings in Dragon Ball#Chaozu|Chaozu]], and [[Yamcha]] were also captured by her on their way to meet [[#Deities|North Kaio]], or they simply ignored her castle and moved on, or she remained tied up where Goku left her. It could be possible that the Serpent Road has more relation to her, rather than to North Kaio. She does not appear in the manga by [[Akira Toriyama]].
