| ==Main Characters (Warriors)== | | ==Earthlings== |
| The warriors listed below are those typically seen at the forefront of battle throughout the series. They are often referred to as the "Z Warriors". | | The word "Earthling" (地球人; ''chikyūjin'') in ''Dragon Ball'' refers to any being of terrestrial origin. Since the majority of the series is spent on Earth, it is no surprise that this group is the largest character base. Akira Toriyama, a nature-loving person himself, used many inhabitants of Earth for the basis of his characters, not just humans. Although some of these non-human Earthling characters have human characteristics (walking upright and talking), they are classified separately from ordinary humans. All "Earthling" characters have been divided up into the following categories: |

| | ==Aliens== |
| : <small>'''Japanese VA:''' [[Ryō Horikawa]]</small>
| | Aliens, or extraterrestrials, in the "Dragon World" are beings not originally from the Planet Earth. After Akira Toriyama had exhausted all of the Earth's strongest warriors, he decided to expand to the rest of the universe. From that point on, the series was never the same. Toriyama was now able to create a much wider variety of characters at will, specifically ridiculously strong opponents for Goku and friends to face off against. In addition, many of the Earth's greatest warriors turned out to be aliens themselves, including the main protagonist, [[Son Goku]]. All "Alien" characters have been divided up into the following categories: |

| | These divine figures inhabit the afterlife of the "[[Dragon World]]" and it is their job to oversee its mortal inhabitants, both as they live their lives and in the afterlife. While the majority of them are quite powerful in their own right, they are not necessarily the strongest beings in the universe, with many of the Z Warriors surpassing them. Like many hierarchies, each divine figure oversees a specific region and reports to a superior that oversees those collective regions. In a ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'' anime-only filler story arc, the [[Dai Kaiō]] is shown to oversee the [[Afterlife Tournament]], held between numerous deceased warriors from the universe's four galaxies. All "Afterlife" characters have been divided up into the following categories: |

| : <small>'''Japanese VA:''' [[Naoki Tatsuta]]</small>
| |
| : 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.

However, Majin Buu takes advantage of his cockiness and absorbs Vegetto, breaking the permanent fusion. | |
