Villains (Dragon Ball)

Saiyan Saga

• Raditz - One of the first Saiyans to reach Earth. He is the older brother of Son Goku, and when he first arrives on Earth, he is considerably more powerful than Goku. In fact, both Son Goku and Piccolo, former enemies, were forced to join forces to defeat him. They utilize teamwork to overwhelm Raditz, and at one point Goku grabs Raditz's tail to paralyze him (just like Goku, Raditz was born a low-level Saiyan and his tail was his weakpoint). Raditz was killed when trying to force Goku into destroying the Earth.
• Vegeta - The prince of the Saiyans. Besides him, Nappa and Raditz are the only other Saiyans left, besides Son Goku. Even without a race to follow him, Vegeta has all the arrogance and pride of a prince. He is an elite Saiyan, hailing from a dynasty of warriors and conquerors, and like all elite Saiyans he won't be incapacitated by being grabbed by the tail. Although he begrudgingly serves Freeza, Vegeta sees himself as the one who is truly destined to be the ruler of the universe. After Raditz was killed on Earth, he and Nappa came to destroy the Earth and use the Dragonballs. Fortunately he was defeated by Son Goku in an epic battle, but was allowed to leave the Earth in his spaceship, alive. He swore revenge and is still around at the beginning of the Freeza saga. Later he becomes a recurring character, and then an ally. Although ruthless, Vegeta seems to possess a degree of honor. He despises weakness and failure, however, as seen when he kills Nappa for failing to kill Goku.
• Nappa - Vegeta's original Saiyan underling. Nappa is a huge Saiyan with a bald head and a mustache. He's incredibly strong, though not as strong as Vegeta, but lacks intelligence and is prone to rage. Like Vegeta, he is an elite Saiyan and grabbing his tail will not weaken him. When he and Vegeta come to Earth for the Dragonballs, Vegeta sits aside while Nappa engages all of the Z-fighters by himself (except for Goku). He is so strong that he easily fights them all at once. However, when Goku arrived, he is quickly outclassed. Vegeta killed him for failing to defeat Goku.
• Saibamen - A small humanoid creature with razor sharp claws on its limbs. Saibamen are green and goblin-like, and are grown from seeds planted into the ground, like mutated plants. Nappa grows them upon arriving on Earth, and while he and Vegeta sit back, the Saibamen attack the Z-Fighters. Fortunately, the powers of the Saibamen are limited, as is their intellect, and they are defeated.

Freeza Saga

• Freeza - An evil alien who rules a vast interstellar empire called the Planet Trade. The Planet Trade finds planets and invades them, sometimes utterly destroying the native inhabitants and assimilating the planet into Freeza's empire. Through this, Freeza has become the most notorious and feared entity in the universe. He is very evil and takes pleasure in killing. Freeza has a variety of forms, but when first seen he is a short being with a large purple head, pinkish flesh, and a tail. He rides around in a floating chair. Later on, he transforms into a huge muscular form, and then a more monsterous form with an elongated head. His final and true form is a small, naked lizard-like alien with a bulbous head, childlike facial features, pale greyish-white skin, and patches of purple flesh on his head, chest, forearms, and shins. His long whip-like tail is prehensile and he often uses it in combat. Freeza's powers are vast, and he has the ability to destroy an entire planet with his own energy. He can also survive in deep space.
• Zarbon - A high-ranking officer in the Planet Trade and Freeza's righthand man. He answers directly to Freeza, and often collaborates with his colleague, Dodoria. In appearance, Zarbon resembles a human, but with light blue skin, long green hair, and yellow eyes. He has a very feminine appearance but is recognizably male. However, he can transform into a hideous monsterous form, whereby his power increases.
• Dodoria - A high-ranking officer in the Planet Trade and Freeza's lefthand man. He answers directly to Freeza, and often collaborates with his colleague, Zarbon. In appearance, Dodoria is a fat humanoid with bright pink skin, pointed ears, purple lips, and spikes on his head and forearms.
• Kiwi - A low ranking underling of Freeza, killed early on. Kiwi is a humanoid alien with dark purple skin and a catfish-like face.
• King Cold - Freeza's father.

• Ginyu Force
• Captain Ginyu - The leader of the Ginyu Force. He answers directly and only to Freeza. Ginyu is a human-like alien with purplish skin and two straight horns jutting out of the sides of his head. His forehead is rather bulbous and veiny. Captain Ginyu has the ability to switch bodies with another being, whereby he possesses their body and the victim ends up in his own. However, just because he now has a new body doesn't mean he can necessarily control it.
• Jeice - A member of the team who is about average in all areas. Jeice isn't remarkable, although he is still a formidable and dangerous foe just by virtue of being on the Ginyu Force. Jeice resembles a human, but has dark orange skin and bright white hair. His hair is long and resembles a heavymetal star's hair style.
• Burter - A member of the Ginyu Force, Burter is the fastest member of the team. Burter is capable of moving so fast that he is but a blur to the outside observer, and to him the rest of the world moves in slow-motion. While all powerful beings in the DBZ universe are capable of incredible quickness, Burter seems to be the most remarkable when it comes to the Ginyu Force. Burter is a tall creature that looks somewhat reptilian, but with blue skin, red eyes, and nose-less face. He has a patch of yellow flesh with horizontal stripes on his forehead.
• Recoome - A member of the Ginyu Force and the physically strongest. Recoome is the most human-looking, and looks exactly like an Earth human but is very tall and powerfully built, and is brutish-looking. He has a small mop of red hair on his head.
• Guldo - A member of the Ginyu Force and the physically weakest member of the team. However, Guldo makes up for it by possessing some useful skills. For instance, he has the ability to temporarily freeze time, and can also read minds. In addition, he can paralyze opponants. Still, he is very weak.

Cell Saga

• Android 16 - An android created by Dr. Gero, made to be the perfect machine. While the other androids are more like cyborgs, Android 16 is a complete robot, with no organic parts. Beneath his human-like exterior he has a Terminator-esque endoskeleton. On the outside, Android 16 is a tall muscular human with a small mowhawk of red hair. He has an infinite energy source and is incredibly powerful. However, he isn't as mischevious or hostile as the other androids; his only business is with Goku, whom he is programmed to kill. Later, when Cell appears, Android 16 becomes an ally to the Z-Fighters.
• Android 17 - A black-haired male android. He is a young teenage boy who, like his twin sister, Android 18, is mischevious and care-free. He only wants to have fun, although his idea of fun may differ from others. After being activated by Dr. Gero, he and Android 18 escape. According to Trunks, Android 17 and Android 18 are the two androids responsible for the apocalypse in his timeline. They wreak havoc on the Earth, killing for their own amusement. However, in this timeline, he and his sister seem far less evil, and are more delinquent than anything else. He has an infinite energy source within him.
• Android 18 - A blonde female android. She is a young teenage girl who, like her twin brother, Android 17, is mischevious and care-free. After being activated by Dr. Gero, she and Android 17 escape, during which Android 18 goes "shopping" for clothes (shopping is in quotations because she doesn't actually pay for the clothes). According to Trunks, she and her brother were responsible for the apocalypse in his timeline. However, in this timeline, she and her brother seem far less evil, and are more delinquent than anything else. She has an infinite energy source within her. She is so beautiful that Krillen falls in love with her. Later on, she marries Kuririn (Krillin) and the two of them have a daughter.
• Android 19 - An energy absorbing android model by Dr. Gero. Unlike the earlier androids, Android 19 doesn't have an infinite energy core, but instead must extract energy from other beings. He does this through special energy-absorbing receptors on his palms. Although he can easily become weakened by being denied energy, Android 19 has an advantage in that he can absorb energy attacks, such as the Kamehameha. Goku fights him, and initially Goku outclasses him, but through his energy-absorbtion he eventually gains the upper hand (although to be fair, Goku was also starting to succumb to the heart virus he had contracted). Android 19 nearly strangled Goku until destroyed by Vegeta. Physically, Android 19 is a fat human-like android with white skin, and an almost clown-like appearance.
• Doctor Gero - The head scientist of the Red Ribbon Army that created all the androids. After Goku defeated the Red Ribbon Army years ago, Dr. Gero went into hiding, swearing revenge. During those years between the defeat of the RRA and the years following the Freeza Saga, Dr. Gero was deep within his secret lab, observing Goku and the other Z-Fighters from afar using tiny insect-like robots, which spied on them. Collecting data from all of Goku's battles, Dr. Gero set about creating the perfect warriors. The result of those years of hard work are the Androids 16, 17, and 18. In addition, Dr. Gero also created Android 19, and then finally, he turned himself into Android 20. As Android 20, Dr. Gero has the same energy-absorbtion receptors on his palms, and can glean energy from other beings. However, he is far less powerful than the earlier androids, 16, 17, and 18, and when he is defeated by the Z-fighters, he desperately revives them. In revenge for their imprisonment, Androids 17 and 18 immediately destroy their creator. In appearance, Dr. Gero was basically an old man with a white mustache. After turning himself into Android 20, he looks the same except wears a tall hat with the "RR" insignia of the Red Ribbon Army.
• Cell - A bioengineered creation of Dr. Gero using the DNA of various Z Fighters. Right alongside his creation of the androids, Dr. Gero also set about creating a purely organic life-form. This being was to combine all the best aspects of the Z-fighters, as well as Freeza and Vegeta. Cell is a mutant being and has all the abilities of the Z-fighters. However, to achieve his true form, he must absorb the androids, 17 and 18, which will power his evolution. In his first form, Cell is a strange lizard/insect creature with green skin, black spots all over his body, a strange crested head, and a long tail with a stinger. He uses the stinger to absorb the androids, but also uses it to extract the life out of various human victims. His second form is similar, but taller and more powerful. His final form is the most human-like, but he retains the strange crest on his head, as well as beetle-like carapace on his back, and of course, the stinger-tail. In his final form, Cell is capable of going head to head with multiple Super Saiyans, and can also spawn miniature Cell Jrs. to fight for him. It should be noted that Cell comes from a third timelime, seperate from both Trunks' and the main storyline. When he awoke from Dr. Gero's lab in his own timeline, the androids were nowhere to be found, and so he was forced to time-travel into the past. After achieving his final form, Cell creates the Cell Games in order to challenge Earth's champions. However, his main interest is in fighting Goku.
• Cell Junior - The "children" of Cell, they were essentially smaller versions of him with a different color. While Gohan fights Cell in the Cell Games, Cell unleashes them on the Z-fighters.

Buu Saga

• Babidi - A very powerful and evil sorcerer. He utilizes dark magic to enslave other beings. A being that has been brought under his control is known as a Majin, and can be identified by a stylized 'M' on their foreheads. Babidi comes to Earth with his minions to awaken Buu, a demon of great power. He is the son of of Bibidi, who was the original sorcerer who controlled Buu ages ago.
• Bibidi - The original creator of Buu, and father to Babidi. ("Bibidi Babidi Buu" from Cinderella)
• Buu - A polymorphic creature that can absorb the bodies and powers of others. Originally, Buu was a small imp-like creature with pink flesh and a small tentacle-like appendage on his head. This primary form is called Kid Buu. However, when Buu absorbs other beings, he takes on their traits, both physical and mental. The original Kid Buu was an insane, mindless creature who loved destruction, but as he assimilates other beings his character changes. When he was imprisoned by the Kaioshin, Buu had become Fat Buu, a playful but infantile being who loved to eat. After being revived by Babidi years later, Fat Buu further changes into newer forms. His most powerful form presents itself when he absorbs Piccolo, Gotenks, and Gohan. In his battle against Vegetto, Buu is a much smarter and more articulate being, a far cry from the gibbering madness that he originally was. All forms of Buu, however, have an intense love of sweets and candy, and Buu's favorite method of absorbing other beings is to transform them into a treat of some sort (like a cookie or chocolate), and eat them.
• Dabura - The King of the Demons, Dabura is a devilish-looking being who has red skin, large bat-like ears, and slit pupils. He is brought under Babidi's control through dark sorcery, and is Babidi's strongest minion. However, when Fat Buu is revived, Dabura foolishly challenges the creature and is killed. Dabura has the ability to petrify other beings with his own saliva, and with this method he turns both Krillin and Piccolo into statues by spitting on them.
