- This article is about the race. For the planet Yardrats live on, see Planet Yardrat.
Yardrats (ヤードラット星人 Yādoratto-seijin, lit. "People from Planet Yardrat"), also called Yardratians are a race that exists in both Universe 7 and Universe 2. In Universe 7, they are from Planet Yardrat. They are a physically weak race, but possess the ability to manipulate space and time. The Yardrats are responsible for teaching Goku the Instant Transmission technique.
Overview
The race is first encountered by Goku after the defeat of Frieza on Namek. The Yardrats are mentioned in the Dragon Ball manga, and they are seen in a flashback in Dragon Ball Z, as well as in video games.
Types
The first Yardrat type to appear are pink with large heads, pointed ears, bulbous eyes, and two whisker-like appendages on the sides of their heads. They first appear in anime filler. The Universe 2 Yardrat appear similar to this type, though they lack whiskers and lack wrinkles.
The second Yardrat type are shorter, lacking ears and having rounder heads and smaller eyes. Their skin tone now varies from several different colors, including blue and green. This type first appeared in the video game Dragon Ball Online and were designed by Akira Toriyama. While they usually appear without whiskers, the elder is of this type and possesses them. Both types appear in Dragon Ball Super when Vegeta and Irico visit Yardrat during the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga.
While most Yardrat are weak in raw power level, a combat type Yardrat named Soba appears in Dragon Ball Z: Sagas. This type resemble the first type albeit tall, muscular and dark blue in color. Soba was also accompanied by smaller combatant Yardratians in battle which do not resemble the other types aside from having whiskers.
Despite being different from each other, most Yardrats wear the same clothing. Goku is given a Yardrat outfit, and he is wearing it when he returns to Earth after his battle with Frieza and Vegeta wears a Yardrat outfit during his training under Pybara. In the Funimation dub, Goku states that they have appetites that could rival Saiyans', more specifically his own.[2]
Universe 7
Goku arrives in one of the Ginyu Force's abandoned space pods that had already been pre-programmed to travel to Planet Yardrat, as the Yardrats had been under attack by the Ginyu Force before Frieza called them over to Namek had they not been defeated. Goku spends a year with the Yardrats as they nurse him back to full health and repair his ship, he also learns the Instant Transmission technique from them before returning to Earth. A Yardrat named Soba makes an appearance in the video game Dragon Ball Z: Sagas. He confronts Goku before the latter leaves the planet, seemingly in order to test his abilities.
By the time of events depicted on Resurrection ‘F’, a Yardrat soldier can be seen among in the second manga chapter adaptation of the film as part of Frieza's army of 1,000 Frieza Force soldiers to be defeated on Earth by the Dragon Team.
During the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga, after leaving New Namek Vegeta has the Galactic Patrolman member Irico take him to Yadrat to train under the Yadrats in order to hopefully learn one of their strange techniques to use against Moro and his followers. It is there where Vegeta is trained by the Yardrat elder, Pybara.
Universe 2
A Yardrat named Jimizu is present in Universe 2. When Team Universe 2 lost in the Tournament of Power, the Yardrats were erased with the rest of Universe 2. They were later revived when the erased universes were restored.

Video Game Appearances
Yardrats appear in Dragon Ball Z: Sagas, Dragon Ball Z: Harukanaru Densetsu, and Dragon Ball Online. In Dragon Ball Z: Sagas, Goku confronts the Yardrat Soba as a final test before leaving the planet.
The Yardrats are mentioned by Olibu in Dragon Ball Z: Buu's Fury, when Goku uses his Instant Transmission to pass the wall made of Katchin inside the Cave of the Ancients. Olibu says that he once met a Yardrat who used that technique.
In Dragon Ball Online, the Yardrats are mentioned in the timeline, saying they improve the transportation system in Age 900. According to the game's timeline, many Yardrats have moved to Earth after the destruction of Planet Yardrat by Mira. The Yardrat are featured as a mode of transportation. They have stands all over the world and teleport people to other places, provided the player has visited them previously. The green Yardrats offer a bank storage service, and are usually located near the teleporters.
"I learned how to use the technique Instant Transmission from the Yardrats. The Yardrats are really strange. They're not strong at all, but they have crazy techniques! I owe a lot to the Yardrats for teaching me how to use the Instant Transmission. I also owe them big time for saving me after I was injured in Planet Namek's explosion! I should go thank them again sometime." — Goku talking about the Yardrats in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 |
In Dragon Ball Xenoverse and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, the Yardrat clothing Goku wore appears as an outfit called Goku's Yardrat Clothes which can be obtained and worn by the Future Warriors in both games.
