"I'm making my special pasta, and you two are the meatballs! There's nothing like human meat! If it's cooked right, it just melts off the bone! And I'm famished."

Personality[]

In her human guise, she acts as a friendly woman who rescues Puck and Goku Jr. from wolves, though this was due to her planning to eat them herself. Despite her devious personality, her vanity makes her vulnerable to having her appearance complemented whether its her true form or human form. She takes great pride in her hair and is enraged at Goku Jr. and Puck for cutting it. However she reacts positively to Torga's compliment about her looking better with short hair.

Like her comrades, she is terrified of Lord Yao who abuses them when they fail to kill Puck and Goku Jr. After Super Saiyan Goku Jr. defeats Lord Yao she and her cohorts flee showing she has no loyalty towards Lord Yao and is terrified of the young Super Saiyan upon witnessing his superior strength.

"You really thought I was pretty?"

Mamba-disguise

Mamba disguised as a human

Mamba lives in the forest near Mount Paozu, and saves Goku Jr. and Puck from wolves, only to attempt to cook them later. She nearly kills Goku Jr. by strangling him with her hair, but he is able to knock her down, and Puck cuts him free so they can make their escape. This ruins her hair, and she pledges to follow and kill them both. Later, Mamba, Torga, and Susha catch up with Goku Jr. and the bear, chasing them for a while until they all run into Lord Yao. After Goku Jr. becomes a Super Saiyan and defeats Lord Yao, Mamba and the other monsters run away.

Power[]

Mamba is a powerful demoness and witch who is strong enough to kill normal humans that wonder into her territory. However she tends to rely on deception to kill her prey while they are sleeping and had trouble dealing with Puck and Goku Jr. on her own. She is weaker than Lord Yao who abuses her and her cohorts for failing to kill the two boys. Additionally she is no match for Super Saiyan Goku Jr. She also relies on weapons such as Knives, Axes, and her Demon Scythe. Like most Demons, she can create weapons via Magic giving her easy access to weapons.

Trivia[]

  • Mamba bears an uncanny resemblance to Zangya, but behaves more like Princess Snake, using disguises to trick travelers into coming into her home. She also wears a similar headpiece tiara and arm warmers that strike a heavy resemblance to that of Zarbon's.
    • Due to the fact Miki Itō voices her in the Japanese version (and Leena earlier on, although she's not a fighter), she also bears resemblance to Android 18 (or Future Android 18 in this case) as being a deadly beauty.
  • Mamba is also similar to Mai in that they are female henchwomen of a main villain (Lord Yao and Emperor Pilaf). Additionally she has more in common with Mai (DBE) as both are female shapeshifters who serve a Demon Lord/Demon King (Lord Yao and Lord Piccolo).
  • Out of the four Mount Paozu Demons, Mamba is the only female demon and the only one who's appearance isn't based upon an animal (Lord Yao resembles a boar, Susha resembles a frog, and Torga resembles a rooster).
  • She is a sucker for compliments. When Goku Jr. tried talking her out of killing him and Puck by telling her she looked much better as a Human, she reverted to her human form and recognized its beauty, which gave Goku Jr. and Puck sometime to sneak out (though not enough as she caught them in the act in her mirror). Later, she again fell for a compliment when she was told that her hair looks better short.
  • Mamba shares many traits with Baba Yaga, the cannibal witch of Russian folklore who often lured lost travelers (usually children) back to her chicken-legged hut to kill and eat. She is also similar to the witch in the German fairy tale Hansel and Gretel, who attempted to eat the two titular protagonists of the story.
  • Mamba is the first character and Demon in the series to wield a scythe, with the second being Shroom from Dragon Ball Heroes. The third character overall in the series to wield a scythe is Goku Black from Dragon Ball Super.
  • Her name is a likely a reference to the Yamanba, or Yamauba, of Japanese folklore, whose best-known version is extremely similar to her, as a creature that will take a human form to lure in travelers to stay with her, then devour them during the night.
