There are large variety of animals (動物 dōbutsu) seen throughout the Dragon Ball series.

Overview[]

In the Dragon Ball series, 17% of sapient Earthlings are animal-type.[1][2] It is common to see anthropomorphic animals living among humans as city residents; the two most recurring animal characters being Puar and Oolong. Other significant anthropomorphic animals in the franchise include Captain Yellow (a high-ranking member of the Red Ribbon Army who is a tiger), Korin (a cat deity who lives atop Korin Tower), and King Furry (the King of the Earth, who is a dog). Man-Wolf, one of the eight finalists of the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament, is part animal as well as part Human.

Some animals are capable of speaking Human dialect without even being anthropomorphic, such as Turtle or the dolphin who gives Goku and Chi-Chi directions to Kame House.[3]

In Dr. Slump, the Dragon Ball manga, and Dragon Ball Online, humanoid animals were very common, but they do not appear as much in Dragon Ball Z. This is likely due to the more serious tone the series began taking. In an interview, Akira Toriyama stated that the reason why he draws animal-type characters so often, is because he likes animals, but basically, it is because it is easy to do a greater number of variations. Dogs in particular have an image of being more loyal and purer than humans, so he says he make good use of them (like King Furry or the World Tournament Chairman).[4]

In Dragon Ball Online, it is stated that an ethnologist named Doctor Hunbalt releases the Animal Data, a catalogue of animals of the Earth, in Age 974.

Animal species[]

Bat[]

Bat Colony

Bats in Pilaf's Castle

A Bat is show outside Bulma's Capsule House when Bulma discovers that Goku's tail is not fake. Bats are inside of Pilaf's Castle, as shown in "The Dragon Balls are Stolen!" Fangs the Vampire has the vampiric ability to turn into a bat. In Dragon Ball Z, a bat is seen in Diablo Desert when Chi-Chi and Ox-King travel through it to go to Kame House, and ask Roshi about her son (who is training under Piccolo at Break Wasteland). Another bat is seen in Break Wasteland.

Bats are common enemies in the video games Dragon Ball: Dragon Daihikyou, Dragon Ball: Shenron no Nazo, Dragon Ball: Advanced Adventure, Dragon Ball: Origins, Dragon Ball: Origins 2, and Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans. In Dragon Ball Z: Buu's Fury, the vampire enemies have the ability to turn into bats. It is common that the design of bats in video games are based on Oolong's bat transformation.

Bear[]

Yamcha&Bears

Bears in The Path to Power

Bears are big furry creatures that usually eat meat. The first time bears are seen is when an anthropomorphic Bear Thief tries to attack Goku so he can eat Turtle. A faction that consists of Bear Thieves called the Kuma Mercenary Clan (Kuma means bear in Japanese) exists in the video game Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku II. At the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament, Krillin defeats a British Karate Bear (Fighter 97) in the ring. An unnamed Bear Man working for the Red Ribbon Army can be seen several times talking to Commander Red in the command room of the Red Ribbon Army Headquarters (this Bear Man appears in Dragon Ball: Origins as an enemy in Oolong's mansion and Pilaf's Castle, and in the same role he had in the manga in Dragon Ball: Origins 2). Two other anthropomorphic bears are seen as Red Ribbon soldiers (a polar bear with a pink-haired soldier, and a brown bear with a soldier wearing goggles) when Goku attacks the base.

Bears in A Hero's Legacy

Another anthropomorphic bear, dressed in snow wear, is shown in the background with all the residents of Jingle Village when Goku departed to continue his journey (this anthropomorphic bear holds the Jingle Village shop in Attack of the Saiyans). In a filler in the episode "Kame House - Found!", while at the market, Krillin and Launch meet an anthropomorphic bear who runs a groceries shop; Launch sneezes and attacks him. Bulma in filler for Blue, Black and Blue attempts to distract General Blue in the Japanese version by claiming that there were a family of Panda bears having a picnic, although this backfired by causing Goku to look around just in time for Goku to get kicked by Blue. In Goku's Traffic Safety, an anthropomorphic bear speeding in a truck almost hits a boy who was playing with his toy car in West City; the Traffic Agent Lady quickly arrives and yells at the bear for driving really fast and not paying attention. At the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament, a black bear with a British accent is shown talking to an anthropomorphic tiger, which the tiger responds by saying he did not get a single thing he said. Another bear, who can speak fluently, is the commander of the Royal Military Army.

During the King Piccolo Saga, a father and son bear in Animal Village were bullied by Giran, when Tambourine arrives and kills the Giras. The two animals come out to thank Tambourine for saving them, but Tambourine kills (attacks in the Japanese version) the father bear mercilessly. Father Bear and Son Bear have similarities to Little Bear and Papa Bear from the show Little Bear. Another bear, who looks almost identical to the Bear Thief, is the captain of a crew of pirates seen in "Tien's Atonement". After King Piccolo death, Patrol 15 finds a bear killed by Tambourine's recently born younger brother Piccolo Jr.

Non-anthropomorphic bears appear on Mount Paozu at the end of the Kid Buu Saga, and in the movies Dragon Ball: The Path to Power and Dragon Ball GT: A Hero's Legacy.

Hungry Bear, Snow Bear, and Strong Bear are enemies in the video game Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans.

Bird[]

MuteCrows

Some crows

A lot of birds appear in the series, notably Ostrich Chicken. Master Roshi owned an Immortal Phoenix unseen during the series because the supposedly undying bird ironically died from being fed "tainted bird seed" prior to the events of Dragon Ball. There is at least one chicken on Training Island, seen in "The Turtle Hermit Way". Chickens are also seen in a farm in the East District, near Vodka's Fortress.[5]

Crows appear in the cave Master Roshi, Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu explored while searching the Dragon Balls during the King Piccolo Saga. They also appeared flying away from the energy of Goku and Vegeta's fight at Gizard Wasteland.[6] Chuu Lee's bird pet is called Pippi. Pippi ran away causing Chuu Lee to wait for it. Pippi is female in the Japanese version, but male in the English dub. The Hikui Bird is a rare and near extinct bird that dwells in volcanoes and appears in the episode "The Fire-Eater".

Owl with Cap 1

Owl with Cap

An owl wearing a cap is seen on Mount Paozu in the episodes "The Emperor's Quest" of Dragon Ball and "I'll Fight Too!" of Dragon Ball Z. An owl with glasses, like the one that appear in Dr. Slump chapter 12, is seen at the location where Tien Shinhan is training in the episode "Conquest and Power". Owls wearing caps appear as enemies in the video game Dragon Ball: Origins. A vulture is seen flying away when Goku begins his second quest for the Dragon Balls. Vulture are also enemies in Dragon Ball: Origins 2, and regular hawks are enemies in Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku II.

GiantBird

The Sand Eagle that attacked Gohan

In the very first episode of Dragon Ball Z, Gohan is looking at a blue bird on a log, but the bird flies away and the log spills into a river, sending Gohan flying off a waterfall for Goku to save him. Later in Dragon Ball Z, a Sand Eagle[7] attacks Gohan when he was at Break Wasteland, another one attacks him when he was in the desert, and a third of those giant eagles is seen leaving Paprika Wasteland right before the battle against the Saiyans.[8] Gigantic tree birds called Treedons live on Fake Namek. In the movie Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge, a Robin dies as a result of Cooler tearing the planet apart; when Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan, he revives the bird by picking it up and holding it in his hands. Birds also appear with Android 16, and a large beak bird appears after Piccolo and Krillin were turned into stone by Dabura in Dragon Ball Z.

Various seabirds appear in Dragon Ball Z: Broly - Second Coming when Goten, Videl, and Trunks attempts to locate a Dragon Ball they lost and are also almost attacked by various seagulls due to Goten accidentally sitting on one of the eggs. Seabirds also had a similar reaction in the main series just as Babidi awoke Majin Buu. Birds also live in the area surrounding Beerus' Castle.[9] Colm, the boy who tricked Oceanus Shenron, owns a seagull pet named Gull (ガル). Seagulls also appear in the sky of the Kame House stage in the video game Dragon Ball Z: Shin Butōden.

Strange-looking birds called Roks and Egg Layers are enemies in the video game Dragon Ball GT: Transformation.

After Arale Norimaki sends General Blue flying into the air, he lands in an Egypt-like land where he is seen riding on a camel. Camels also appear in the city where Mercenary Tao forced a tailor to make a new copy of his uniform for free.

Cat[]

Cats (猫, Neko) are feline animals who like to eat fish and rodents. They are common domesticated animals often kept as pets.[10]

Cats

Cats shown in the beginning of the episode "Goku vs. Sky Dragon"

Puar is considered by Toriyama to be a mix between a cat and a rabbit. Korin is a major character in the cat race. In the fillers of Dragon Ball, Commander Red has a pet cat, which he frequently used to attack the Red Ribbon Army personnel entering his office to test their reflexes, such as Colonel Silver. It is also implied in the English dub that any soldier who fails to effectively evade the cat (such as one soldier who allegedly lost an eye due to not reacting quick enough) is executed. Dr. Brief has a black cat named Scratch that is frequently seen on his shoulder. Mr. Popo owns a cat that looks very similar to Puar, as it is seen in the filler episode "Quicker Than Lightning". A stray cat was in Tapion's hideout in the movie Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon. The Destroyer Beerus, who appears in the movie Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, is a purple sphinx cat-like humanoid, as is Beerus' counterpart Champa. In the "Future" Trunks Saga, when Future Trunks goes to check on Future Mai in a old run down apartment, Mai shares food with Trunks while also feeding Future Scratch.

The Neko Majin race are anthropomorphic cats and the main characters to Akira Toriyama's Nekomajin manga. In the spin-off manga Dragon Ball Heroes: Victory Mission, the Majin Hero Kabra has a Neko Majin pet named Abra who usually hangs atop his head. Contrary to most animals, cats are not enemies in the video games they appear in: Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku, The Legacy of Goku II, and Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans.

Chicken[]

Chickens appear as one of the few domestic animals featured in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. There are two types the common Chicken and Bantam. Common Chickens are kept as kept as livestock for their eggs and meat though some have run away and been reintroduced into the wild such as those found living around Grandpa Gohan's House. Common Chickens often leave behind eggs as they wander around thus eggs can often be acquired where they are found such as Grandpa Gohan's House, the Capsule Corporation's atrium, or farms. Bantam are a type of chicken that come in a variety of colors and sizes but the one featured in the Z Encyclopedia is known for its earthy coloring. Bantam eggs are used in gourmet food, particularly in meat bowls.

Chicken Types in Kakarot
  • Chicken - A common chicken. Originally kept as livestock, some have run away and been reintroduced into the wild. It often leaves behind eggs as it wanders around.
  • Bantam - A type of chicken. It comes in a variety of colors and sizes, but this one is well known for its earthy coloring. Its eggs are highly valued as a gourmet food, particularly in meat bowls.

Crab[]

Crabs are shown to live incoastal areas and the bottom of the ocean. Goku saw several of them when he went to investigate the Pirate Cave, finding one as big as him. Years later, on Master Roshi's island; another is seen playing Rock-Paper-Scissors with the young Gohan and then blows bubbles at him after losing.

A giant crab appears on Namek in "Destination: Guru", and is shown to be extremely territorial and protective of its offspring, as evidenced by it attacking Bulma when she discovered its eggs, as well as when Blueberry and Raspberry mistook its eggs for a set of Namekian Dragon Balls and attempted to steal them. This crab looks versy similar to the giant crab that appear in Toriyama's 1981 manga Pola & Roid.

NamekCrab

The giant crab from Namek

When Frieza is torturing Vegeta and holding him underwater, after he separates him from the water a crab is crawling on Vegeta's head, Frieza plucks it off him and eats it.[11] Later, several crabs appear as Goku gathers energy for the Genkidama that he intended to use against Frieza. A crab is seen on the beach where one of the Dragon Balls was during the Cell Games Saga.[12]

In video games, Crabs appear as enemies on Mount Paozu in Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku, and in the Mushroom Forest in Dragon Ball: Origins and Dragon Ball: Origins 2. In Dragon Ball: Origins, giant crabs terrorize the population of Training Island; as part of their training, Goku and Krillin have to fight a giant crab everyday and deliver its meat to the population of the island. Giant crabs are also enemies in Dragon Ball: Shenron no Nazo, Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans, and Dragon Ball Online. Ice Crabs are enemies encountered on Polaris in Dragon Ball GT: Transformation.

Crocodilian[]

Crocodilian 1

An alligator

Crocodilians are a family of reptiles that usually eat meat. They are alligators and crocodiles. An alligator that seems to know Master Roshi is shown sunbathing on a beach chair next to Kame House when he is interrogated by Emperor Pilaf and his gang. Pilaf pulls a knife on him asking where Master Roshi is. The threatened alligator points out the location of Master Roshi to the two henchmen and their boss.[13] The alligator with sunglasses is later seen in a group of fighters waiting outside Fortuneteller Baba's Palace,[14] and later again in a team of three criminals trying to burglarize Kame House.[15] Pilaf himself keeps several alligators at his place as seen when he is treating Mai in "The Dragon Balls are Stolen!"

Crocodilian 2

Emperor Pilaf's alligators

An anthropomorphic crocodile/alligator is seen as one of General Blue's soldiers who is ordered to sanitize a work area of another soldier executed for picking his nose. An alligator kills two of Colonel Violet's men after she throws them overboard so that she can escape with the Dragon Ball those two henchmen found.

The crocodile who attacked Gohan

In Dragon Ball Z, a crocodile is seen trying to attack Gohan during his survival training under Piccolo. On Namek, alligator/crocodile like aliens served as low-class soldiers under Frieza. Bulma got followed by one of them, Blueberry.

In addition, alligators appear as common enemies on the Tropical Islands stage in the video game Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku II.

Deer[]

Deer 1

Deer on Mount Paozu

Deer are seen living at Mount Paozu in "The Secret of the Dragon Balls", "Goku's Alive!!", and "I'll Fight Too!" In the movie Cooler's Revenge, several are shown to have survived the bombardment of the area by Cooler's Armored Squadron (targeting Goku and Gohan) and they later watch over Goku (who had been wounded by Cooler) alongside Krillin and Oolong. Later in the film, when making a final ambush attempt on the Dragon Team, Salza compares their situation to being like "deer caught in the headlights."

Bambi&Pan2

Pan surprised when the baby deer attempts to breast feed in GT

Although not seen, the animal is mentioned by a hunter during the Z Fighters pursuit of Dr. Gero in the Northern Mountains, where he accidentally shot the evil android due to mistaking him for the animal.

In Dragon Ball GT, Pan plays with a baby deer on planet Pital while exploring the hospital grounds, though it humorously attempts to nurse by sucking on Pan's breasts, which the Baby possessed Alien Boy claims is due to the baby deer thinking Pan was its mother (implying the deer had imprinted on her).

Video Game Appearances

In Kakarot, there are three subspecies of Deer that can be found on Earth. The subspecies native to Mount Paozu in the Southeast Mountains Area are known as Mountain Deer which represent the Deer seen in the main series. Like Wolves and Gazelle, Deer can be hunted by the Dragon Team for their meat. Though their antlers make them appear intimidating, Deer are docile creatures that will flee rather than fight hunters though can be easily outrun by the protagonists. Caribou/Reindeer are are known to live in the Northern Mountains in the forests around Darlinge Polynya, Bells Village, and the site of Dr. Gero's Lab.

Deer Subspecies in Kakarot
  • Mountain Deer - A white-spotted deer found in valley plains. Though its large antlers are quite intimidating, it is a very docile creature. Males use their antlers to complete for females' attention.
  • Giant Golden Deer - A deer with golden fur. It looks similar to the mountain deer, but is at least twice its size. Not many have seen this creature, so its true habitat remains a mystery.
  • Large-Antlered Caribou - A reindeer with gigantic antlers. Its thick fur keeps it warm in arctic regions where it's found. It uses its antlers not to attack, but to dig through snow and find food.

Dog[]

AngryPilafDogs

Shu's Dog Police

Dogs are often kept as obedient pets. Most dogs walk on all fours, but some dogs in the series stand on their hind legs.[10] An anthropomorphic dog is the Chairman to the World Martial Arts Tournament. Emperor Pilaf's minion Shu is the most recurring character of the species; specifically, he resembles the Shiba Inu species. Anthropomorphic dogs occasionally appear as soldiers in the Red Ribbon Army. The king of Earth, King Furry is an anthropomorphic dog as well. Another anthromorphic dog, is seen as an admiral leading a fleet of ships in an attempt to defeat Nappa.

Shu is also shown to have a non-anthropomorphic Dog Police that were used to hunt down Goku and the others after they ruined Pilaf's wish. During the Piccolo Jr. Saga, Piccolo Jr. blasted away the dog of Tai's family, thereby discovering some of his power.[16] In the episode "Clash of the Super Powers", Bikini mentions that she used to have a poodle that got lost. A dog is seen in the Other World when Goku telepathically communicates with his family thanks to King Kai. Another regular dog is Bee, the dog that was saved and adopted by Mr. Satan and Majin Buu. The specific type of dog Bee is would be a Labrador Retriever. A dog-like creature is Lord Jaguar's pet in Dragon Ball Z: Bio-Broly. Although no dogs appear in Dragon Ball Z: Super Android 13!, Dr. Gero did reference them just before being killed by a rebellious Android 17, where he cited him and his sister as being worse than them and that unlike them, dogs at least held obedience to their masters.

Dogs appear in Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku II, but they are not enemies. Stray Dog, Red Ribbon Spy Dog, and Super Watchdog are enemies in the video game Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans.

Dogs that died and went to afterlife are heard in Goz and Mez (Evil dogs though only in the japanese version) and the manga only version of Strongest in the Heavens! (Good dog, with body) when Goku is talking to his son (for some reason the dog is cut in the anime version).

Video Game Appearances

In Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, Dogs are among the couple of domestic animals seen in the game. There are two breeds the common Dog and Black Dog. Both subspecies of Dog resemble Bee in overall appearance though the common Dog breed represents Bee's particular breed which is apparently a popular one. A Black Dog can be found in the Capsule Corporation's atrium. Additionally, during Sub Story: "Animorphaline Accident", Bulma reveals that King Furry was originally a Human-type Earthling who used the popular drug Animorphaline to attain his Dog-type Beastman form, indicating he is not a natural born dog Animal-type Earthling like Shu.

Dog Breeds in Kakarot
  • Dog - A popular breed of dog that makes a great pet. It is extremely loyal and easy to train.
  • Black Dog - A mutt with pitch black fur. It is very docile and great around people of all ages.

Elephants in the savanna

Elephants appear a few times in the series. One is seen leaving Paprika Wasteland along with other animals during the Vegeta Saga.[8] A herd is seen in the savanna where Goku finds the Two-Star Dragon Ball during the Cell Games Saga.[12]

Elephants are also used as a "unit" of measurement by Mr. Satan's disciples, Pirozhki having a strength that rivals 20 elephants according to Miss Piiza.

The Universe 10 God of Destruction, Rumsshi, is an anthropomorphic elephant.

Fish[]

JFish

Fish in Mei Queen Castle

Fish (魚, Sakana) are shown throughout the series. A notable type of fish in the series is the Giant Fish, who are ofter caught by Goku and his sons for dinner. During their first day on Training Island, Launch prepares a puffer fish for dinner, and Krillin, Master Roshi, and Launch soon feel ill as puffer fish is poisonous. Different type of fish are in an aquarium in Mei Queen Castle. Some of these fish, resembling Ocean Sunfish, observed a Bio-Warrior that got knocked into the aquarium during 18, Goten and Trunks' aiding Mr. Satan against several of them. Small fish live in the river of the Sacred World of the Kai, as shown in a flashback when the North Supreme Kai catches one. As he is a gourmet, the temple of the God of Destruction, the cat-like humanoid Beerus, is stocked with fish and other food.[17] Also in the movie, a fish which has prophetic powers, the Oracle Fish is the one who helps Beerus to find Goku, the one who defeated Frieza. A fish named Yamada Haruo is Neko Majin's pet in the manga Nekomajin. Fish also appear on planet Pital, and one even tries to eat Giru. Goku and Trunks also catch fish while on Pital, though they later tell Pan that the fish they caught tasted terrible.

Video game appearances

In the video game Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku II, fish can be found by killing enemies next to bodies of water (within the same frame of the map) with there being only one type of fish available. In Dragon Ball Z: Buu's Fury, there are 3 different types of fish that can be caught: small fish, big fish, and red snappers. However, the fish in Buu's Fury are obtained through a fishing system in specific locations (fishing docks over water), rather than defeating enemies like in The Legacy of Goku II. If the heroes give Korin fish in The Legacy of Goku II, he will trade Senzu Beans in a 1:1 ratio up to a limit of three Senzu Beans in the inventory, while in Buu's Fury, he will give money or Holy Water. Fish are seen jumping out of water in the background of the Namek battle stage in Super Dragon Ball Z. In Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z, Launch's handmade Fugu Hot Pot is an item that decreases all abilities.

In Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, several types of fish appear as food items that can be feed to Majin Buu and his children in the Majin Buu's House Time Miniature anomaly. One of them is called Pitalian Freshwater Fish which due to its name are presumably the same species of fish native to Pital in Dragon Ball GT. Additionally Artwork 105 depicts the 4-Star Dragon Ball underwater on Namek with a Namekian Whitefish (a species of fish native to Namek in Kakarot) investigating it along with a Namekian Frog.

DB Legends Dragon Ball Legends X Dragon Ball Z Kakarot Crossover Event - The Saiyan Raised on Earth Energetic Fish (Exchange Item Description)

Energetic Fish icon & description in Dragon Ball Legends

"A small schooling fish. Delicious whether grilled, baked, or fried, it's a staple in any household!"
Energetic Fish description in Dragon Ball Legends

In Dragon Ball Legends, Energetic Fish appears as an Exchange Item along with Apple and Prime Marbled Dino Meat for the Dragon Ball Legends X Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot crossover Event, "The Saiyan Raised on Earth". They can be exchanged for different items or Zeni at the Event's Exchange Shop. Additionally 100 Energetic Fish can be purchased from said shop in exchange for one unit of Prime Marbled Dino Meat, while 1 Energetic Fish can be purchased in exchange for 50 Apples. It is based off the Energetic Fish that appear as a type of small fish in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot.

In Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, several fish species and subspecies appear. Energetic Fish, Great Energetic Fish, and Golden Energetic Fish are small fish that can be caught while diving underwear along with Fish Eggs, High-Quality Fish Eggs, and Premium Golden Fish Eggs. However larger fish species like the iconic Giant Fish (called Big Fish in the game though the Z Encyclopedia entries for two of its subspecies refer to it as Giant Fish) must be caught at fishing holes by using Artificial Saiyan Tails (used by Goku and Gohan who utilize the tail fishing method Goku devised as a child) or Fishing Rods (used by characters such as Piccolo, Vegeta, and Future Trunks). After being catch while fishing, the fish will yield different items depending upon the species caught which includes cuts of their meat, teeth, scales, or even rare gems. Their meat can be used in Campfire Cooking or for cooking single dishes. Fish Eggs and Energetic Fish type items can also be used to cook single dishes. Each species of fish had a Golden subspecies that appear rarely, during a Frenzy event, or attracted by certain types of bait. These Golden Fish yield rarer items and materials that can be sold for a high price. In addition to the Fish found on Earth, Namek is home to the Namekian Whitefish and its subspecies the Black Namekian Fish and the Golden Namekian Fish. Due to the Namekian's water based diet, fish native to Namek are not accustomed to fishermen trying to catch them and thus are more susceptible to getting caught by non-native aliens fishing on Namek. Save for Energetic Fish and its subspecies, all fish caught while fishing at Fishing Spots have an entry in the Z Encyclopedia's Bestiary section. However Energetic Fish and its subspecies are described in their corresponding Item Info descriptions.

Fish Species and Subspecies in Kakarot
  • Energetic Fish - A small fish that swims in large schools. Can be cooked in a variety of ways, all of them delicious.

    • Turquoise Trout - A fish known for its deep blue almost turquoise coloring. Its flesh is tough but surprisingly flavorful. Not many fishermen have been able to catch this sought-after creature.

Foxes have only appeared as anthropomorphic animals in the Dragon World. Donbe and his girlfriend Kitsuneko from Dr. Slump are foxes. Another fox is seen as one of General White's Red Ribbon soldiers who accompanied a human sergeant while searching to kill Goku in Jingle Village. Konkichi is the most well-known character of the species; Goku met this green fox while on his way to the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament.

In Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans, three types if anthropomorphic foxes appear as enemies: Thief Fox, Veteran Fox, and Racketeer Fox.

Frog[]

A frog is first seen in the Dragon Ball episode "Look Out for Launch". Later, after his first battle against Tambourine, Goku wakes up in Yajirobe's Prairie to a frog licking his nose.[18]

CaptainGinyuFrogEp107

Captain Ginyu at the Capsule Corporation

Frogs also live on Planet Namek. Captain Ginyu was trapped in a frog's body when Goku tossed a Namekian Frog within the trajectory of his Body Change technique. Re-colored versions of the Namekian frog appear as regular enemies in Dragon Ball: Origins and Dragon Ball: Origins 2. In Dragon Ball Super, Frog Ginyu manages to switch bodies with Tagoma during Frieza's revenge, resulting in Tagoma becoming trapped in the body of the Namekian Frog that Ginyu previously inhabited after Ginyu is killed in Tagoma's body by Vegeta.

Before the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament, while Gohan is teaching Videl how to control her energy, Goten tries to catch a frog with a net.[19]

Kibito mentions a planet inhabited by frogs that have golden yellow droppings, Planet Popol, when he brought Gohan back to Earth for the battle against Super Buu.

Frogs appear as enemies in Dragon Ball: Origins and Dragon Ball: Origins 2. Despite being native to Earth, these frogs somewhat resemble Namekian Frogs.

In Dragon Ball Online, Towa leads the Time Breakers in attempting to eradicate Planet Namek's Namekian Frog population in Age 762 to prevent Captain Ginyu from being trapped in the body of one. However one manages to survive and Towa is forced to use her magic to make Frog Ginyu giant sized though he is ultimately defeated by the intervention of the Time Patrol.

In Dragon Ball Xenoverse, Namekian Frogs can be found living in Toki Toki City in Age 850 near the Dragon Ball Pedestal. However after Toki Toki City's destruction by the Dragon accidentally created by Chronoa while using her power on the Dragon Ball Pedestal's Dragon Statue, no Namekian Frogs can be seen in Conton City which was built over the ruins of Toki Toki City, indicating they either died out or were relocated.

"A common frog found on Planet Namek. It has two antennae, but what they're used for is unknown."
Namekian Frog Z Encyclopedia entry in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot

In Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, Namekian Frogs can be found on Planet Namek. Additionally a Namekian Frog spawning ground can be found on a small island. At this spawning ground the food item Gelatinous Eggs can be found.

Gazelle[]

Gazelle are among the many species of animal native to Earth featured in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. There are four subspecies of Gazelle in the game which can be hunted by the Dragon Team for their meat. Like Deer, they will flee if they spot Dragon Team members hunting them though can easily be outrun by the protagonists and can be stunned using Ki Blasts. Interestingly, Gazelle as a species contribute a great deal of energy to Goku's Spirit Bomb.

Golden Gazelle Antler is one of the ingredients required to make Popo's Antidote in Cell Saga Sub Story: "Animorphaline Accident".

Gazelle Subspecies in Kakarot
  • Prairie Gazelle - A gazelle with a black banded pattern on its body. It is a very timid creature and will dart away if spooked. Oddly enough, this species contributes a great deal of energy to Goku's Spirit Bomb.
  • Desert Gazelle - A gazelle found in deserts and other arid regions. It is similar in appearance to the black gazelle, but its brown fur provides better camouflage against the sand.
  • Black Gazelle - A gazelle with black fur. It is known for its twisted antlers and mild demeanor. It can be found all over the world.
  • Golden Gazelle - A rare gazelle with golden fur. Its close similarity to the prairie gazelle has led many to believe it is a rare mutation of that species. Its meat is much richer than that of the prairie gazelle.

BigLizard

The big lizard inside the dark caves of Mount Kiwi

Another big lizard was seen in Mount Kiwi's volcano. Although he is very aggressive towards intruders, Goku easily calms him down by petting him. Shu later tries to do the same, but he starts to jump repeatedly while trying to reach the lizard's head to pet him. The lizard on the other hand thought Shu was being hostile and bites Shu's paw.[25]

Monty, the young son of X.S. Cash who appears in Dragon Ball Z: Bojack Unbound, has a small pet lizard. Goten finds a huge lizard while Gohan is training.[22] Other small lizards are seen on Krillin's statue in "Next Up, Goku", on Goten's head after Majin Buu's Angry Explosion in "The Warrior's Decision", and another frightens Mr. Satan when he arrives at Majin Buu's house.

Monkey[]

Monkey

Monkeys

Monkeys mostly live in jungles and forests and their diet consists of fruit. They have been seen to be very friendly towards Goku since they share common traits, like his tail, which many times Goku is seen playing with them. Goku learned to strengthen his tail by having monkeys swing off his tail; Goku is called "monkey boy" when he is a kid, and Frieza and his henchmen frequently refer to Saiyans as monkeys in a derogatory manner. Parzan has a pet monkey named Cheeta that appears with him in Dr. Slump and the Dragon Ball anime. King Kai has a pet monkey named Bubbles.

Monkeys appear in Dragon Ball: Origins 2, stealing Goku's Power Pole in level 1-1. In the bonus level 6-5, because there was a lack of soldiers in the Red Ribbon Army, Colonel Silver's soldiers kidnapped monkeys in the forest they burnt in order to brainwash and train them at the Red Ribbon Army Headquarters. After Commander Black's defeat, Bulma tells Goku that someone is still using the Battle Jacket in the Red Ribbon Headquarters. Goku finds that a monkey is controlling it and after defeating the brainwashed monkey, he brings all the kidnapped monkeys back to their forest.

In Dragon Ball Z: Buu's Fury, a monkey steals Goten and Trunks' bandanas while they are in the Thieves Den trying to get the One-Star Dragon Ball, thus obliging them to fight the bandits there.

Mouse[]

Mice are seen when Turtle first appears in the series (only in the manga).

MouseGeneralBlueSaga

Mousey in the Pirate Cave

Mice appear in the Pirate cave, the most famous one is called Mousey named by Goku. Mousey startled Blue and made his telekinesis on Goku wear out giving Goku the upper hand again. After Krillin and Bulma go ahead of Goku while he gets the Dragon Ball, he stops to save him and runs off with him in his mouth, intending to repay him for his involvement in saving him. When they reached the surface again and ended up at General Blue's Camp, they let Mousey go. The English dub implied that Mousey was actually a rat due to General Blue while panicking over its presence specifically noting its tail size when citing it wasn't merely a mouse.

In a flashback told by Frieza soon after he has destroyed Planet Vegeta, a young Vegeta is seen blasting a mouse inside his ship.

A purple mouse is seen in the sewer Mr. Satan tried to use to escape Battle Island 2.

Octopus[]

Bunny Costume is a provocative bunny themed outfit commonly worn by women which feature a pair of fake rabbit ears attached to a headband known as Bunny Ears and a fluffy fake rabbit tail. Bulma is forced to borrow one from Oolong when she runs out if clean clothes. Oolong himself would later shapeshift into Bulma wearing the Bunny costume to trick Master Roshi at her behest but took things too far for her tastes. Upon reaching the town controlled by the Rabbit Mob, Bulma found the townspeople frightened of her due to the costume causing her to be mistaken as a member of the Rabbit Mob, forcing her to acquire new clothes leading her to swap her Bunny costume for the Arabian Outfit she wore for the rest of the Emperor Pilaf Saga. Additionally in Dragon Ball Super, Puar shapeshifts into a girl wearing a red bunny costume to help Master Roshi learn to control his perverted impulses in preparation for the Tournament of Power.

In Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, wolves appear as animals that can be hunted. There are three species of wolf that can be encountered in the game, common Wolf, White Wolf, and rare Golden Wolf. Packs of the generic Wolf can be found in plains and wastelands where they can be hunted for Wolf Meat, High-Quality Wolf Meat, and Beast Fang. Packs of White Wolf tend to be found in arctic regions such as the Northern Mountains Area and can be hunted for White Wolf Meat. The Golden Wolf rarely appears in certain locations among packs of either generic Wolf or White Wolf as it is known as the "boss of all wolves" due to it surpassing all other species of wolf in every way including size as it is larger than the other two species, and can be hunted to obtain Prime Golden Wolf Meat or Golden Wolf Fang. Additionally despite King Kai's occasionally warning the Z Warriors that wolves bite (among the different telepathic messages that can be received from him while hunting wolves) wolves in Kakarot will only howl then flee if they spot them or hear one of their pack mates howl.

Wolf species in Kakarot
  • Wolf - Found in plains and wastelands. It travels and hunts in packs which have strict pecking orders. Though a skilled hunter, it is relatively calm in demeanor.
  • White Wolf - A wolf found in many different regions, though it is often spotted in arctic regions, as it is better at handling the cold than other species.
  • Golden Wolf - A wolf with golden fur. The so-called boss of all wolves, it surpasses all other species in every way.
