[edit] Piccolo Daimaō Related Characters
[edit] Cymbal
Cymbal is Piccolo Daimaō'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 half with his katana, then roasts him over a fire and eats him.
[edit] Drum
Drum is Piccolo Daimaō's fourth minion. Even though he's 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 Goku arrives, at which point Goku flies at him and knocks him out with one kick, killing him.
[edit] Piano
Piano is Piccolo Daimaō's first minion. The longest living member of Piccolo Daimao's mutant spawns. He's a pterodactyl humanoid figure, and is very bright. He's killed by Piccolo Daimao's crushing weight when Goku kicks Piccolo into him.
[edit] Tambourine
Tambourine is Piccolo Daimaō's second minion. Piccolo Daimao's second most powerful servant, his orders were to hunt down and assassinate all contenders who participated in the World Martial Arts Tournaments 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 pickup up any Dragon Balls he sees along the way if he happens to come across any. Tambourine kills Kuririn by chance, along with many other participants of the past World Tournaments. He even beat up kid Goku because he was weak from his battle with Tenshinhan and blinded with rage because of the fact that Tambourine had just killed his best friend. Tambourine also destroyed the Kinto'un cloud for good, until Goku got a new one from Karin later in the series. Tambourine was vaporized to bits by Son Goku's Kamehameha Wave.

[edit] Cargo
Cargo is the twin brother of Dende who is breath blasted by Dodoria in the anime, but finger blasted by Freeza in the manga. His death mobilizes Gohan into saving Dende. He is brought back to life with the rest of the Namekians killed by Freeza and his wife Freezina.
[edit] Dende
[edit] Saichuro
Also known as Guru and Great Elder. He is a Namekian from Planet Namek.
Guru is the oldest and wisest remaining Namek in existence and the sole survivor of a cataclysmic climate shift several hundred years prior to the events in the series. All current Nameks alive on the planet are descended from him. (It was revealed that he had at least 108 children, though some may not have still been alive at the time of the Freeza Saga. Piccolo / Kami are descended from a Namek that died in the cataclysm: Katatsu.) He was also in control of the Dragonballs of Planet Namek (though he may not have created them). He had many powers similar to that of Kami on Earth, but it is never stated whether he was the local Kami of Namek.
Note that "Guru" and "Great Elder" are just titles. The actual name of the character is never revealed in the series. After the death of Guru on Earth, the position was passed on to the village elder of the Dragon Clan, Moori.
Morbidly obese in his old age, Guru sits stationary in his chair during the Dragonball Z series. He dies before Freeza is defeated, of a broken heart but not before unlocking the hidden power of Kuririn and Son Gohan. He is briefly brought back to life on Namek and brought to Earth, but dies of old age before the population could be moved again to New Namek.
In the Manga it is revealed that he knew about the Super Saiyans.
[edit] Moori
Moori (also sometimes spelled Muri) is the elder of the Namekian village that Kuririn and Gohan first saw Freeza attacking. His fighting power isn't high, but he is very clever. He manages to destroy all of Freeza's scouters. This causes Freeza's collection of the Dragonballs to be seriously delayed. Freeza later orders Moori to be slain along with his younger brothers Dende and Cargo. (It is stated that ALL the current Namekians on planet Namek are the direct children of Guru, and thus are all brothers). Dodoria carries out Freeza's order, and breaks Moori's neck with his bare hands.
Moori, of course, is included in the wish to bring back those killed by Freeza and his men. Shortly before Guru dies again, he names Moori as the new Great Elder, saying that the balls will shine again. Moori and his people eventually travel to a new planet similar to Namek with the help of the Dragonballs.
Moori appears again in the Buu Saga, when the Namekian Dragonballs are needed to solve the Buu crisis. It is revealed that because of Freeza's past attack on Namek, that Moori has powered up Namek's Porunga Dragon--giving it the ability to bring multiple people back to life with one wish.
[edit] Nail
Nail is a Namekian who looks exactly like Piccolo, apart from the clothes. He is described as the lone 'fighter class' Namekian left. He is the personal bodyguard to Saichourou (Guru), and is very strong for a Namek. His Official maximum fighting power is stated as being 42,000.
During the Freeza Saga, Nail had to stall Freeza by himself in order to prevent him from obtaining the passcode to unlock the Dragonballs and killing Saichuro. Even though Freeza was in his lowest power level, Nail was no match for the tyrant, and even lost an arm (which he regenerated using Sai Sei) during the battle. Before Freeza could finish Nail off, Nail revealed that this fight was to delay Freeza so Dende could get the Namek Dragon Ball's password to the Earthlings, Kuririn and Son Gohan. An enraged Freeza immediately left and Nail is left for dead on the ground.
Shortly afterwards a newly resurrected Piccolo arrives and finds the disabled Namek. Nail is still able to speak, and asks Piccolo to fuse with him in order to increase his chances against Freeza, and at the same time save his life. Piccolo agrees after some questioning of Nail's motives, and indeed his power level increases dramatically.
[edit] Lord Slug
Lord Slug is the main antagonist of the fourth DBZ Movie, Lord Slug. He was one of the Ancient Nameks who discovered the key to unlocking a higher consciousness within. Known as Super Nameks, they soon became intoxicated by their new power and began to misuse it. With the power of the Dragon Balls, the people of Planet Namek were able to banish the Super Nameks from their planet for good, but the tyrannical Lord Slug continued conquering planets until he reached Earth where he used the Dragon Balls to restore his lost youth. Another part of his plan was to freeze the planet to make it a home for his soldiers, but in the end he was killed by Son Goku. It's interesting to note that in the Japanese version of Movie 4, Lord Slug doesn't tell people that he's a Namekian, and possibly doesn't even know. The back story about Slug being a Super Namekian is added into the English dub, and isn't in the Japanese version. He is voiced by Brice Armstrong In the English dub of the movie and Budokai Tenkaichi 2.
He appeared in a video game for the first time in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2.
