==Earthlings==
==Earthlings==
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 had human characteristics (walking upright and talking), they were classified separately from ordinary humans. All "Earthling" characters have been divided up into the following categories.

In addition to normal animals in the "Dragon World", there are also those that display human characteristics, some of which harmoniously live amongst humans. Even amongst these animal-types there are also those who have acquired unique powers, such as [[Oolong]] and the [[Carrotizor Bunny]].

==Aliens==
==Aliens==
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]].

Shenlong is the dragon that appears when all seven of the Earth's Dragon Balls have been gathered together. Shenlong, and the Dragon Balls themselves, have many restrictions and rules in place regarding the types and amounts of wishes. As a general note, be sure to know what you're wishing for in advance, as Shenlong can become quite impatient and irritable.

After Bora is revived, Upa promises to try and live each day as bravely and energetically as Goku.

: The guardian of the Karin Holy Land, and Upa's father. He handily defeats all the Red Ribbon soldiers who invade the land in search of the Dragon Ball located there, but is effortlessly killed by Tao Pai-pai. Goku revives him with the Dragon Balls, making him the first person to be brought back to life like this. He later helps Yajirobe and Goku get to the top of Karin Tower, and contributes energy to Goku's final ''Genki-Dama'' against Majin Buu.

; [[Gotan]]
: <small>'''Japanese VA:''' Masako Nozawa & Daisuke Gōri ([[Dragon Ball Z 2]])</small>
: A hypothetical fusion Son Goku imagines between himself and Mister Satan as he frantically searches for someone else to fuse with after Majin Buu absorbs Son Gohan.

; [[Vegetto]]
: <small>'''Japanese VA:''' Masako Nozawa & Ryō Horikawa</small>
: With no other warriors left on Earth, Son Goku pleads with Vegeta, who eventually agrees, to fuse with him before Majin Buu destroys the planet. It is quickly obvious that Vegetto embodies the cocky fighting attitude of the two Saiyans, and he makes it clear that there is no doubt his strength surpasses Majin Buu. However, Majin Buu takes advantage of his cockiness and absorbs Vegetto, breaking the permanent fusion.

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:
: Bulma tells Goku to beat up the gang members, since they're bad guys and they're flirting with her. After getting kicked around by both Goku and Yamcha, the now defeated Rabbit Gang must live out their lives pounding ''mochi'' on the moon.

Reason: Brief character descriptions.

The following fictional characters appeared in Dragon Ball, either in Akira Toriyama's original manga series or exclusive to Toei Animation's animated adaptation of it.

Earthlings

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

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:

Afterlife

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:
