Pybara became acquainted with Goku after the Saiyan and Vegeta defeated the Ginyu Force, who had been planning to terrorize Planet Yardrat. Recognizing Goku's potential, Pybara taught him Instant Transmission, the signature teleportation technique of the Yardrat people. Goku would carry this skill with him for the remainder of the series.
Years later, during the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga, Vegeta traveled to Yardrat seeking new power to combat Moro. Pybara took on the role of Vegeta's instructor, teaching him Spirit Control. This discipline allowed Vegeta to manipulate his ki at a fundamental level, culminating in the ability known as Forced Spirit Fission. Through this technique, Vegeta could separate energy that had been absorbed or fused, which proved essential in the battle against Moro.
Despite his small true stature, Pybara typically appears much larger than other Yardrats due to his use of Gigantification, a Spirit Control application. He is wise, perceptive, and good-natured, often using his abilities to play harmless jokes on visitors.
Pybara is the elder of Planet Yardrat and the master who taught Goku the Instant Transmission technique. He later trained Vegeta in Spirit Control during the conflict with Moro, playing a pivotal role in two separate arcs of the series.

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....

Dragon Ball handed us a protagonist with no history and the internet named him John Dragon Ball. So we built him somebody to talk to....
