Caterpy is a caterpillar-like humanoid alien that fought in the Otherworld Tournament.
Biography
Caterpy is from the South Quadrant of the Northern Galaxy. Caterpy is actually not very strong and he tries to get Goku to give up by tickling him to everyone's exasperation. (Olibu remarks, "South Quadrant must be a very peaceful place.") After Goku hits him, he further displays his weakness by whining about it. Caterpy then attempts to go into his pupa state. As South Kai tells Goku and the crowd, Caterpy would morph into his ultimate form upon hatching. However, the cocoon would take 1,200 years to hatch, so Grand Kai declares Goku the winner by default.
