Overview
Namek Saga
Moori destroying all of Frieza's scouters
Moori was born as a son of Guru on Planet Namek some years prior.
Although Moori's fighting power isn't high, but he is very clever. He manages to destroy all of Frieza's scouters with his Finger Beams. This causes Frieza's collection of the Dragon Balls to be seriously delayed. When Frieza orders Moori to be slain, Moori told Dende and Cargo to run away. Just when Moori attempted to perform a move that would have avenge his slain Namekian breathen, a blast (either Frieza's Death Beam in the manga or Dodoria's Mouth Blast in the anime) was fired straight past Moori, slaying Cargo. Then, Dodoria sadistically carries out Frieza's order by breaking Moori's neck with his bare hands.
Frieza Saga
Dodoria eliminates Moori by brutally snapping his neck
Moori is included in the wish to Shenron to bring back those killed by Frieza and his men on the dying Planet Namek then was teleported due to the wish to Porunga to teleport everyone to Earth expect for Goku and Frieza. On Earth, Moori was named as the new Grand Elder by Guru before the latter died for the second time as Elder Tsuno was not brought back by Shenron's wish since him and his village was wiped out by Vegeta. As the new Grand Elder, Moori says that the Dragon Balls will shine again. After the Z Fighters used Porunga's three wishes to bring back to life Krillin and Yamcha 130 days later and two of Porunga's wishes to bring back Chiaotzu and Tien another 130 days later, Moori and his people used the third wish to teleport to a new planet similar to Planet Namek.
