Animal-types and Animals

Bear Bandit ^D7
山賊クマ (sanzoku kuma)

A giant bear looking for his next meal, when his eyes find Umigame. The bear bandit requests that Goku hand him over, but he refuses. Goku fights to protect Umigame, and unfortunately for the bear, he never “saw” his defeat coming.

Big Fish
大魚 (taigyo)

One of the shortest lived characters to appear in Dragon Ball, we see the “Big Fish” alive for about 15 seconds. He most certainly learned his lesson; don’t try to eat Son Goku or you’ll become dinner yourself.

Carrotizor Bunny ^D7
兎人参化 (toninjinka)

A very unique rabbit with the ability to turn anyone he touches into a carrot. He is called to the scene by his defeated gang members, but he doesn’t last long against Goku and Yamcha either. After their defeat, he and his henchmen are promptly placed on the moon by Goku to pound mochi.

Crocodile
ワニ (wani)

After tearing Kame House apart and not finding a Dragon Ball, Pilaf, Shuu, and Mai confront the crocodile outside the house. Although he’s simply sunbathing and minding his own business, Pilaf threateningly questions him about Kame-Sen’nin’s whereabouts.

Dolphin ^D7
イルカ (iruka)

As Chi-Chi and Goku are trying to find Kame-Sen-nin’s island, they get lost somewhere over the sea. They decide to stop and ask the dolphin for directions. With the directions to Kame-Sen’nin’s island, they fly off thanking the dolphin for its help.

Giant Octopus ^D7
大タコ (ō tako)

After falling through a trap door in the sea-bottom pirate cave, Goku lands on this giant octopus. However, Goku thinks he’s a squid, and the octopus gets pissed. The octopus bangs Goku up against the cave wall to try and kill him, but Goku soon retaliates… And after baking him with a Kamehameha and turning him into takoyaki (“fried octopus”), Goku eats the octopus.

Martial Arts Temple Head Priest ^D7
武道寺管長 (budōji kanchō)

The grand personage who announced “bark” at the 21st Tenka’ichi Budōkai.

Milkman
牛乳屋 (gyūnyūya)

The milkman helps Kame-Sen’nin train Goku and Kuririn for the 21st Tenka’ichi Budōkai by allowing them to take over his milk delivery route for a while. However, Kame-Sen’nin makes the boys deliver the milk on foot, whereas the milkman typically uses a helicopter.

Oolong ^D7
ウーロン (ūron)

A perverted shape-shifting pig, Oolong terrorizes a small village and abducts their girls. As Oolong fights Goku, it is apparent that he doesn’t acquire any special skills from whatever he shape-shifts into, and that he can hold a form for no more than five minutes. It is soon obvious that Oolong is more of a spectator than a helper when it comes to fighting. He is also considered a coward by most, especially Bulma.

Pteranodon ^D7
プテラノドン (puteranodon)

While going to take a leak, Bulma becomes the prey of a hungry pteranodon. After tying Goku to a tree, he flies away, taking his meal with him. Unfortunately he doesn’t make it too far, as Goku saves Bulma with the help of his Nyoi-Bō and her Capsule No. 9 Bike.

Pu’er ^D7
プーアル (pūaru)

Pu’er is Yamcha’s shape-shifting friend and together they rob anyone that wanders into their desert. Like Oolong, Pu’er has the ability to change his shape into any form. Though unlike Oolong, Pu’er can hold that form an indefinite amount of time.

Red’s Pet Cat-like Animal ^D7
レッドの飼うネコみたいな動物 (reddo no kau neko mitai-na dōbutsu)

Commander Red’s very creepy pet, that looks like a cat, but has big ears, sharp fangs, and claws. And although it is fond of Red, it is ferocious toward anyone else.

Saber Tiger
サーベル・タイガー (sāberu taigā)

While passing by, he is hit in the head by an apple which Goku tosses out a tree after eating it. He chases Goku but ends up falling off of a cliff (Wile E. Coyote style) as Goku had grabbed a tree branch to avoid the fall. He becomes a recurring character, and even makes an appearance in the first episode of Dragon Ball Z, however this time he chases after Gohan.

Shuu ^D7
シュウ (shū)

One of Pilaf’s servants, Shuu dresses up in a ninja costume and aids Mai when she is given a task. He looks as tame as he fights, and he often ends up foiling Pilaf’s plans of getting the Dragon Balls.

Umigame ^D7
海ガメ (umigame)

Kame-Sen’nin’s trusty turtle, Umigame constantly complains about his master’s perverted actions. He tries to keep him in-line around the ladies, but his objections usually result in a scolding. He plays a relatively small part in the manga, but he has quite a few large roles in the anime.

West City Taxi Driver
西の都のタクシー運転手 (nishi no miyako no takushī untenshu)

The driver of a West City taxi. Goku naively gets in and asks the driver to take him to Bulma’s house, without knowing the way there, or even having any money. The angry driver yells at him to get out.
