Biography

MedameArmor1 — Medamatcha holding the Dragon Radar

Upon arriving on Earth, Medamatcha locates the Dragon Balls for Lord Slug along with Angila, Wings, and three other soldiers in less than one hour, finding the One-Star ball in a nest.

When Gohan and Piccolo come to fight against Slug and his minions, Medamatcha takes on Gohan and fires Continuous Energy Bullets at him. Medamatcha then uses his ability to release small clones of himself from his body to exhaust Gohan's energy. After Piccolo shields Gohan from Medamatcha's Full Power Energy Wave, Medamatcha uses his absorption technique on Goku, but it fails and Goku pummels him into the air, then exterminates all the Medas, and grabs Medamatcha when he falls back down, allowing his limp body to fall to the ground, dead.

Along with countless other Dragon Ball antagonists, Medamatcha and the Medas make a cameo appearance in the 1995 film Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn, in which the residents of Hell make their escape to the Earth.

Trivia

The part where Goku arrives and kills Medamatcha is similar to the way Goku incapacitated Nappa during the Saiyan Saga.
The clothes he wears are almost identical to that of the Mutated Namekian minions created by King Piccolo in Dragon Ball. This, along with Wings telling Piccolo that they were "from the same demon-clan", supports the idea that Lord Slug can summon Mutated Namekians.
