"How can I fix what just isn't broken?!"
— Dragon Ball Z: Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan

Krang (タコ科学者, Tako Kagaku-sha) is a purple alien scientist who works for Paragus.

Appearance

Although he usually wears a black cloak, his true form resembles a combination of an octopus and a brain, with several tentacles and a mustache.

Biography

Dragon Ball Z

Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan

Main article: Dragon Ball Z: Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan

When Broly enters a rage when he sees Goku, Paragus has trouble controlling him, so he takes his control device to Krang and asks him to fix it, although Krang claims that the device is not broken and Broly must be acting out on his own. Unlike the Dragon Team and the slaves, Krang and Paragus' soldiers were not taken to Piccolo's ship when Comet Camori crashed into New Planet Vegeta, so he was presumably killed when New Vegeta was destroyed or he may have been among the henchmen Broly killed during his rampage.

He was only named in the credits.

Voice Actors

Japanese dub: Naoki Tatsuta
Funimation dub: Kent Williams

Trivia

He resembles Krang, a villain from the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, in both in his appearance and name. Due to the popularity of the series in Japan, it is likely this is a purposeful reference, though the name "Krang" was only given in the Funimation dub of the movie, and he is unnamed in the Japanese version. Presumably his English name is a homage to Krang due their similar appearance.
