ZARBON
Home Planet: Unknown
Race: Unknown
Fusions: None
Appearances: Dragon Ball Z

Zarbon, the tall, handsome, green alien, has been Freeza's right hand man since the days of Bardock. A bit on the prissy side he (and it may be wrong, but I've heard rumors that he is supposed to be a she), he never fails to at least attempt to do everything stylish and professional. His expensive jewelry and hair thats rarely ever even a strand out of place is a testament to this.

While he's no match for Freeza, or even Rikum of the Ginyu Force, he's always been at Freeza's side, running errands. He's more or less of a yes-man, as he rarely ever goes against Freeza's word, obviously out of fright.

Like all of Freeza's henchmen, he delights in the suffering of others. He never hesitates to attack a weaker being, even if they are on his side (one time one of Freeza's underlings was hurled in Zarbon's direction, and instead of catching him, he side-kicked him away).

Zarbon was first introduced (along with Dodoria) in the scene where Freeza attacks some Namek-sei-jin villiage. However, as stated above, he was around way before then. He was still Freeza's subordinate back in the days of Goku's father's revolt, and probably even before that.

He's cocky and arrogant, and with good reasons - for this beauty is hiding a beast within. When it became apparent that Vegeta had a higher fighting level than him, Zarbon laughed, fixed his hair, and calmly explained to Vegeta that he'd soon have his head handed to him on a platter. While Vegeta didn't believe him and simply laughed back, Zarbon didn't mind.

Suddenly, Zarbon screams, and his body nearly triples in size. His gorgeous face is disfigured as his nose vanishes, his mouth is twisted into a devilish pair of chomps similar to that of a crocodile, and he is covered from head to toe in warts. He has no trouble beating Vegeta to a bloody pulp.

However, Zarbon's idiocy and cockiness proves to be his downfall. Forgetting that Saiya-jins become stronger after being beaten severely, he leaves Vegeta for dead, when he, in fact, is still alive. After being yelled at Freeza for not bringing Vegeta back and assuring that the Prince is dead, Zarbon returns to the site of battle and takes Vegeta back to Freeza's ship.

Vegeta escapes from Freeza's ship, which Freeza blames on Zarbon. Freeza gives Zarbon a very linear set of instructions: "Bring Vegeta back in one hour or die." A very scared Zarbon scrambled away from the angered Freeza, and started on a search for Vegeta. Blinded by rage, fear, and nervousness, Zarbon didn't find Vegeta - that is, until a streak flashed across the sky.

Zarbon stopped, overjoyed that he found Vegeta. However, when he took a closer look, he found out it was the earthling (Kuririn) that had freed the Namek-sei-jin kid (Dende) earlier. Lucky for him, the Saiya-jin Prince wasn't too far behind the bald Earthling.

The three landed on the island that Bulma had been hiding on. While Kuririn and Bulma cowered in fear, Vegeta and Zarbon faced off for a second time. Vegeta suggested that Zarbon go ahead and transform, and Zarbon, not wanting to waste any time, went ahead and did so. Bulma and Kuririn were appalled by the grotesque monster, but Vegeta just kept laughing. A fight ensued, and Zarbon soon learned that Vegeta had gotten stronger. This became quite apparent when Vegeta punched straight through Zarbon's armor and a good distance into his belly.

They stood there for a while, in an awkward position. Zarbon couldn't believe it. How could this stupid Saiya-jin, who'd been weaker than him all his life, do such a thing? Zarbon pleaded for his life, but Vegeta opted for blasting a crater in him, and the prissy warrior dropped into a nearby lake, dead.

And to think, none of this would have happened had he just confirmed Vegeta's death....

 

DODORIA
Home Planet: Unknown
Race: Unknown
Fusions: None
Appearances: Dragon Ball Z

As with Zarbon, Dodoria has been at Freeza's side since (and probably before) the revolt of Goku's father. Dodoria seems to be of lesser rank than Zarbon is (maybe he's Zarbon's underling?) but he's always hanging around Freeza and Zarbon anyway. He's big, fat, ugly, pink, and has a weird head with a little spiky bowl thing on the top. He's gruesome, merciless, strong, and a bit of an idiot.

He was also introduced, along with Freeza and Zarbon, when Freeza's band attacked some Namek-sei-jin village. From there, they went on the Dende's village, where the group savagely attacked the group of helpless Namek-sei-jins in one of the most gruesome scenes ever shown in Dragon Ball.

First, Dodoria showed his gruesomeness and lack of mercy when he fired a blast from his mouth and made crispy crunchies out of Kargo, one of the Namek-sei-jin children. However, when three warrior Namek-sei-jins attacked and started taking out the weaker underlings of Freeza, Freeza figured enough was enough and ordered Dodoria to clean things up. He lumbered 'round for a while, getting ready to fight. However, this whole while, a clever Namek-sei-jin elder was plotting....

Suddenly, the elder leaped into the air and blew the Scouter off of Dodoria's face. He then went on to take out two others laying around the corpses of the slain underlings. Dodoria at first laughed - he'd have to use stronger attacks than that if he wanted to win - then it registered with his (relatively slow) brain.

Enraged that the Elder had deliberately destroyed his scouter, Dodoria rose up in an eruption of rage. "LET'S MASSACRE THEM!!!!" he rallied, and charged the Elder. However, Freeza stopped him and suggested that he took care of the three warrior Namek-sei-jins first. Deciding it might be a little fun, he agreed.

The three warriors were too cocky. They figured that since it was a three on one fight, they'd win, no problem. That changed when Dodoria stuck his arm through one, smeared another up against the side of a mountain, and savagely murdered the last.

Horror-stricken, the Elder ordered his children to flee. However, in an instant, Dodoria was upon him, beat up on him, then snapped his neck three different ways. The Elder dropped to the ground, and Dodoria turned his gaze on the sole survivor of the villiage - little Dende.

However, this whole time, Dodoria was completely oblivious to the fact that he was being watched. He got the point when Gohan jumped out of no where and sent the tub of lard reeling into a building. Gohan wanted to fight, and Dodoria was more than happy to take up on his offer, but before he could, everyone's favorite Buddhist monk jumped from behind and sent him flying for the second time. Taking the child, the Earthlings fled.

Freeza, disgusted with Dodoria's failure, ordered him to follow and kill the escapees. A chase ensued, but Dodoria's prey went in to hiding. Dodoria gave them a fair warning, and what's a guy to do? He had wasted enough time, and they weren't coming out of hiding, so he decided to blow up everything within a half-mile radius. Satisfied with his work, he went off to rejoin Freeza.

However, while Dodoria was enjoying his flight back, he was struck once again from his back. He plumetted to the waters below, and when he pulled himself out, he found himself at the feet of Vegeta. He tried to stay the dominating man of the two, but he was terrified of Vegeta. He ordered Vegeta to hand over his scouter, and was probably quite relieved when Vegeta dropped the scouter on the ground.

However, his emotions did a complete 180 when Vegeta stomped on the scouter. Enraged, Dodoria charged, but with no visible effort, Vegeta was behind Dodoria, pulling his arms back in a submissive stature. Dodoria, utterly terrified, tried to reason with Vegeta. He offered to share the true history of the planet Vegeta if his life was spared. Vegeta agreed, and Dodoria was released.

Dodoria told the tale of how Freeza destroyed the planet while Vegeta was away deliberately, and then tried to cover it up with the cheap story of a meteor striking it. Dodoria, noticing that Vegeta was obviously affected by this revelation, slowly backed away as he talked. Non-chalantly, he took to the skies, still talking. However, as he was about to fly off, Vegeta went back on his word and vaporized the cowardly tub of lard.

Yeah, real big loss.
