First Appearance
Lord Slug Film
Medamatcha serves as one of Lord Slug's top warriors in his Demon Clan. He is a short, round creature with a distinctive appearance. Despite his small size, he is a dangerous fighter thanks to his unique abilities.
His signature technique involves spawning smaller versions of himself called Medas. These miniature clones attach themselves to an opponent's body and drain energy from them, weakening the target over time. This ability makes Medamatcha particularly troublesome in prolonged fights, as his opponents gradually lose strength even while trying to fend off the main body.
During the events of the Lord Slug film, Medamatcha uses this draining technique against Gohan, latching multiple Medas onto the young Saiyan. Gohan struggles significantly against this assault, as the energy drain leaves him unable to fight effectively. Piccolo ultimately steps in to deal with Medamatcha, destroying the smaller clones and then finishing off Medamatcha himself.
