Do Namekians need sleep?

[floofychan333]

You'd think they might do music, but whisteling already hurts, so why bother at all. Maybe King Piccolo's spawn was in a band though. They are named after instruments after all. WAIT, PICCOLO IS A FLUTE INSTRUMENT This makes no goddamn sense. But yeah, Namekians MUST be so boring that they don't even sleep. They MUST be.

I would be down to make a Namekian-themed band with whoever wants to. We'd dress up like Namekians and cover DB insert songs as well as do instrumentals of Kikuchi BGMs.

And that's when the Saiyans drop in doing metal covers of Falcouner music!

So we shoot Makankosappos up their monkey asses.

Ow! Like, a normal Ki attack would hurt, but the spiral-drill look of a Makangosappo would be especially painful!

We would, of course, be doing this live on stage. The Saiyajins would be welcome to fight back.

You know, I sometimes think people take the slug thing a little too seriously? Toriyama literally said he didn't think too hard about it when coming up with the name and only made the connection because of the antennae. I mean, Saiyans aren't vegetables either...

My comment about applying a slug's sleep schedule to Piccolo was more tongue in cheek, really. I just like the idea of Piccolo sleeping while he's "meditating".

[Smilodon]

The old Piccolo sleeps (with open eyes) and he eats tons of food too....

[Gog]

I know, I know.. Namekians are already the most boring people imaginable; they don't eat, only drink water, have only one gender, they all look alike, no hair, no music, no art in any way, shape or form, the most boring planet ever etc. That planet even has 3 suns so they never even experience nighttime on Namek!! This last point got me thinking though, in my memory I've never seen a Namekian sleeping.. Do they even need sleep? Their homes don't even seem to have beds right? What do you guys think?

Namekians are similar to Plants and Slugs their food comes from the air, the sun, and water, to them that's enough. The Namekians have a lot of differences between them from a biological stand point, they all don't look the same, Dragon Ball has never explored the Namekian culture on a whole, for all we know they have a varied and interesting culture, and their planet was just devastated by a natural disaster which nearly wiped out the Namekians on a whole, and most of the species on a whole. The Namek which we see in the series is a shadow of it's former self.

It depends, I say they'd sleep because sleep is a process which allows us to solidify and consolidate our memories of the day. Sleep's also a process where our body's is revitalized, so I'd say they'd need some sleep, their sleeping patterns would be different. But, at the end of the day Namekians are a species which are capable of turning into the size of a mountain, fusing with one and the other, stretching their limbs and regeneration, so who knows?

Also yeah, they most likely don't poop, since they only need water. Namekians, that eat, probably need to poop though.

I always figured that a species that only lives on water wouldn't even have the parts for making solid waste (unless maybe they evolved from a species that did need to eat/poop and just haven't completely lost that side of their digestive system yet), so instead of pooping a Namekian would sweat out all the impurities from whatever they ate. So they'd just have extra smelly sweat for the next day or so after eating. Piccolo does seem to be shown sweating quite a lot from what I remember, and we know Daimao and Kami both ate, so maybe Piccolo did too until he found out about the "we only need water" thing later on.

I LOL'd at "extra smelly sweat"

The strange thing is though that I just started noticing Piccolo eating in several different occasions in Super. What you said about the species evolving but not yet completely losing their digestive system is the most convincing thing I've heard yet, nice one.

This is the single BEST idea for a themed band I've ever heard! When do we start?

When you say it like that they seem pretty awesome! Too bad it's just a trap and they're still boring

Whenever we have the financial resources to buy instruments and costume supplies as well as find a bunch of other musicians who want to be in a Dragon Ball band.

I disagree, Namekians are an interesting race, on a whole they just haven't been explored beyond the surface details. Hell, some of the best characters from the franchise came from the Namekians, Piccolo, God, and Piccolo Jr.

[Okora]

Probably not, although I like to imagine that's what Piccolo is doing when he meditates.

He's obviously sleeping

[Arugela]

Pretty sure Krillin and Dende slept, when they were on their way to the Grand Elder's.
Also yeah, they most likely don't poop, since they only need water. Namekians, that eat, probably need to poop though.

The question is how do they poop. Do they have orifices. And since we know they shoot eggs our their mouths does this mean they can't shoot eggs out their bums(like other egg layers) and ergo have to shoot poo out their mouths? Assuming they can't digest and use it all.

Of course there is still that whole original namekians from DB that looked nothing like piccolo... Why doesn't he do that again in the series. He could mass and army for fun. You would think they coudl be useful for training if nothing else. If he's strong enough he could use them to help train the lower players if nothing else.

And the answer is no. That is how they always win and survive. They wait for their enemies to fall asleep then make their move! That is why piccolos move don't need to worry about time.
