— "Last Defense"

Moori is an elder of a Namekian village and brother of Nail, Cargo and Dende.

Overview

Description and biography

Moori's fighting power isn't high, but he is very clever. He manages to destroy all of Frieza's scouters. This causes Frieza's collection of the Dragon Balls to be seriously delayed. Frieza later orders Moori to be slain. Dodoria carries out Frieza's order, and breaks Moori's neck with his bare hands.

Moori is included in the wish to bring back those killed by Frieza and his men. Shortly before Guru dies again, he names Moori as the new Grand Elder (as Elder Tsuno, another elder who was older than Moori, was not brought back by the wish since his village was wiped out by Vegeta), saying that the Dragon Balls will shine again. Moori and his people eventually travel to a new planet similar to Planet Namek with the help of the Dragon Balls.

The next time Moori is seen is on New Namek when Goku is looking for a new guardian of Earth to replace Kami. Moori suggests Dende. During the Cell Games, Moori, as well as his fellow Namekians, sensed Super Perfect Cell's power all the way from Earth.

Moori appears again when the Namekian Dragon Balls are needed to solve the Majin Buu crisis. It is revealed that Moori has powered up the Namekian Dragon Porunga — giving Porunga the ability to bring multiple people back to life with one wish.

Other Appearances

Moori also appears in Dragon Ball Z: The Return of Cooler, in which he is seen chained up along with his fellow Namekians by Cooler's Cyclopian Guards. When a Namekian warrior breaks free and attacks the robotic guards, Moori pleads for him to stop, but to no comply. Luckily, the Z Fighters arrive and Gohan saves the Namekian warrior and Moori and the Namekians are set free for the time being.

Abillites

The ability to create objects from nothing (Note: Moori has the ability to create new Dragon Balls because he is a member of the Dragon Clan).
