Tongue Stretcher is a Wolf-level Mysterious Being, once a man consumed by his obsession with reptiles. He preys on beautiful women, yet crumbles into sobbing surrender the instant the hero King crosses his path.
Chameleon-like in build, Tongue Stretcher sports oversized eyes, a trailing tail, and a notably long tongue. His outfit is ordinary by contrast: jeans paired with a plain white shirt worn beneath a green jacket.
He is a predator who hunts young, attractive women in hopes of forcing them to bear his children. For all that menace, one look at the hero King empties his nerve, and he drops to begging and weeping for his life. He is a liar besides, later puffing up the tale of his so-called clash with King for the benefit of other Mysterious Beings.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
Before his change, Tongue Stretcher was simply a man with a fierce fondness for reptiles, a fixation that eventually twists him into the monster he becomes. Newly transformed, he sets about attacking women until he runs into the S-Class hero King. The sound of the famous King Engine floods him with dread, and he instantly gives up, shaking and sobbing as he pleads for mercy. Much later, during the Psychic Sisters Arc, he breaks out of his Hero Association cell alongside Beer Bellee and Man-Eating Capybara after Tatsumaki's rampage tears the building apart, only for the trio to freeze at the sight of assembled heroes, mutter an apology, and quietly shut the door again. An omake finds him on a prison bus claiming King as the one who beat him; when the others marvel that he survived the strongest man, he points to a bruise on his head, actually left by a woman who stepped on him, and calls it his badge of revenge. His powers are modest, in keeping with a Wolf-level threat. He can shoot his elongated tongue from his mouth at high speed, its saliva sticky enough to trap prey, and he is strong enough to overpower five grown men without trouble. In the webcomic, he dies after being caught up in the brawl between Tatsumaki and Fubuki.
