Nicky, along with Ginger and Sansho, served as one of Garlic Jr.'s Three Lords. The trio ambushed Piccolo early in the film and appeared to defeat him, then traveled to Goku's house to steal the Four-Star Dragon Ball and kidnap Gohan.
Nicky was assigned to guard Gohan at Garlic Jr.'s castle. He proved gluttonous and somewhat careless; in the Funimation dub, he complained about nearly missing lunch. When Gohan ate an intoxicating fruit from the courtyard, Nicky panicked, unable to control the drunken child. Like his comrades, Nicky could transform into a larger, more powerful form for combat.
When Goku arrived to rescue his son, Nicky fought alongside Ginger against him. Despite their combined efforts and transformations, neither could match Goku's power. Nicky was killed when Goku's Kamehameha launched Ginger into him, destroying them both. His name is a reference to the Japanese word "nikki," meaning cinnamon, continuing the spice-themed naming of Garlic Jr.'s henchmen.
