Cacao on Earth
Cacao was originally a battle Cyborg built on planet Ikonda to fight in an interstellar war. After this, he became a galactic lone-wolf bounty hunter and volunteers to join the Turles Crusher Corps. In addition, his cyborg body is made from a special metal that makes him immune to ordinary attacks,[1] including Yamcha's Spirit Ball.
Cacao has a large array of weapons at his disposal, which helps him swiftly defeat Yamcha during an encounter with the Dragon Team on Earth. He is killed during Goku's Kaio-ken rampage against him and his comrades when Goku gives Cacao a solid knee-kick to his chest.

Trivia
- Cacao's name is based on cocoa, a type of bean used to make a variety of products, mostly chocolate.
- The mannerism and effect used for Cacao's voice varies with each dub. In the original Japanese version of The Tree of Might, he says da, the Russian word for 'yes'. In the AB Groupe dub, Speedy dub and uncut Ocean Group dub, he only grunts, while in the studio's edited dub, as well as FUNimation's dub, he speaks in full-fledged sentences and has an electronic-garbled voice (though his mouth remains closed).
