"You've really outdone yourself this time boss."
— "The Heavens Tremble"


Salt, known as Zold (ゾルド Zorudo) in the original Japanese version, is a member of the Spice Boys.

Appearance[]

Salt is a short, red humanoid Serpent with long pointed ears, whiskers, two small protruding fangs from the top of his mouth, and two small peduncle-like appendages coming out from both edges of his jawbone. He wears a brown Mongolian-style fur hat which looks like the cap of a condiment bottle (Vinegar also wears one, though smaller, beige in color, and adorned with a pair of small white horns) and a yellow fur collar which ends in a long "tail". He wears a battle jacket very similar to a Frieza Force soldier, which is black with light green shoulder guards and abdominal section. He wears a shirt under it that is the same shade of green. Salt also has white gloves, wears light blue pants, and has white and brown boots.

Personality[]

Salt is obnoxious, aggressive and cocky. He opportunistically attacks Gohan when his guard is lowered before Garlic Jr. gives him permission. When seeing Gohan's true power, he uncharacteristically suggests that Mustard should fight Gohan alone and agreed with Mustard's idea that they should take him on together. Like the other Spice Boys, Salt is cruel, sadistic and merciless, enjoying himself greatly when violently beating and taunting Gohan, laughing at the injured Krillin with Mustard after Krillin shielded Gohan from his Surprise Blast and fighting dirty.

When Piccolo intervenes Salt fights with the others.

Later on, Salt and Mustard fight Gohan and Krillin atop the Lookout. He fights against Gohan and almost wins.
