Zarbon is an intellectual adviser with a battle power of approximately 23,000 who serves as one of Freeza's close aides. Though commonly mistaken for a woman due to his beauty, he can reluctantly transform to unveil his true monstrous form. Zarbon is the person responsible for suggesting the extermination of the Saiyans, and appears alongside Freeza during the act in Dragon Ball: Episode of Bardock to suggest that he has long served as a part of his organization. In Age 762, he uses his secret transformation to defeat Vegeta, but as a consequence of not finishing him off, he dies later to a powered-up Vegeta. In Dragon Ball GT, he is one of the dead who escapes Hell and wreaks havoc through the city. Zarbon appears in Dragon Ball Super: Broly as King Cold announces his transfer of power to Freeza, insinuating that Zarbon's tenure may extend to before Freeza's reign.

Biography

TBD

Name

Like many of Freeza's initial minions, Zarbon's name pun comes from a fruit: the pomelo (ザボン, zabon), a citrus fruit common in Southeast Asia.

In issue #7 of the Viz monthly Dragon Ball Z comic, an advertisement for Dragon Ball Z on VHS used "Zardon" as the character's name. It is not known whether this was a typo or an abandoned dub name for the character.
