Full biography · Contains spoilers
Race: Namekian Piccolo is a fictional character from the Dragon Ball series. He is introduced in the late stages of Dragon Ball as the main antagonist of the final saga and is a ruthless enemy of the protagonist Son Goku. He carries a very cold, menacing demeanour and is not afraid to show his evil nature, he is characterized wearing his weighted clothing, cape and turban. He is considered both the son and reincarnation of Demon King Piccolo and was spawned to save himself from certain death at the hands of Son Goku. Like his father, he appears as a tall green humanoid creature with pointy ears. After his narrow defeat against Goku, Piccolo is soon forced to form an at first uneasy alliance with Goku and his friends against newer, more dangerous threats. Out of necessity he also takes it upon himself to train Goku's child Son Gohan, forming a powerful bond which ultimately redeems him when he sacrifices himself to save the child's life. After his resurrection he fully joins Goku and the others in their struggles against ever more powerful villains.
