Born from fragments of the original Buu, these creatures come in a range of body types and temperaments but share a common rubbery physiology and immense latent power.

These beings, sometimes referred to as Makaioshin or simply demons, possess inherent dark magical abilities and exist outside the jurisdiction of the gods who govern the mortal universe.

The Metalmen are a species of living metal beings from Planet Galactic, known for their liquid metal bodies and a peculiar emotional vulnerability.

Auta Magetta, who fought in the Universe 6 tournament, is their most famous representative.

The Metamorans are an alien race who developed one of the most celebrated techniques in Dragon Ball history: the Fusion Dance.

Goku learned the technique in Other World and taught it to Goten and Trunks, producing the legendary fused warrior Gotenks.

The Moginaians are an alien species in the Dragon Ball universe, known primarily through their representative in the Galactic Patrol.

The Mouma are an alien species that appears in Dragon Ball's expanded universe.

Their existence adds another thread to the rich tapestry of species that gives the Dragon Ball cosmos its sense of scale.

The Namekians are a green-skinned, slug-like alien species from Planet Namek who hold a unique place in Dragon Ball mythology as the creators of the Dragon Balls.

Their most famous representatives, Piccolo and Kami, shaped the entire trajectory of the Dragon Ball story.

Namekian Frogs are a species of frog native to Planet Namek.

Ogres are the bureaucratic inhabitants of Other World in Dragon Ball, serving as the administrators and staff of the afterlife under King Yemma's authority.

Despite their imposing appearance, most Ogres are desk workers first and fighters a distant second.

The Mamono Ogres are a distinct type of ogre-like demon encountered in Dragon Ball, separate from the afterlife bureaucrats who staff Other World. Drawing from the Japanese concept of "mamono" (a general term for demons or evil spirits), these beings represent the more traditionally monstrous side of ogre mythology, serving as combatants and antagonists rather than paper-pushers.

The Okakaume-seijin are an alien species from the Dragon Ball universe whose most notable member is Pui Pui, one of Babidi's warriors during the Buu Saga.

Their most infamous moment came when one killed Yamcha with a suicide attack, one of Dragon Ball's most iconic and meme-worthy deaths.

The Saiyans are a warrior race of extraterrestrials and the single most important species in all of Dragon Ball. Originally from Planet Sadala, the Universe 7 Saiyans eventually settled on Planet Vegeta, served under Frieza's empire, and were nearly wiped out when Frieza destroyed their homeworld. The survivors, most notably Goku and Vegeta, went on to become the most powerful fighters in the universe and the driving force behind nearly every major arc in the franchise.

A race of reptilian humanoids who have served in the Frieza Force since the era of Chilled, making them one of the oldest species in the galactic army. Their most notable member, Tobi, served the tyrant's ancestor directly.

Divine birds capable of creating time itself. Raised by candidates for the Supreme Kai of Time position, Tokitoki are among the most cosmically significant species in the Dragon Ball universe, with the power to birth entire new universes through their eggs.

Gigantic alien tree-birds native to Fake Namek. These creatures disguise themselves as dense forests, revealing their true nature only when disturbed. They turned out to be illusions, part of the elaborate trap set to deceive the Z Fighters.

An alien race from Universe 7 whose homeworld was destroyed when twin Gods of Destruction Beerus and Champa fought over a birthday treat. Their entire civilization was collateral damage in a sibling squabble over the Puff Puff Fruit.

An ancient alien race of three-eyed beings from which Tien Shinhan descends. Also known as the Three-Eyed People, no pure members have ever been seen in the series. Their third eye is said to grant godlike perception and powers, though their most famous descendant lost access to these abilities due to his upbringing under the Crane School.

The natives of Planet Tritek, a world conquered by Saiyan warriors. Though never seen on screen, the Tritekians gave Vegeta and Nappa enough trouble to earn a mention, with Nappa calling it a "crazy battle." Their existence is exclusive to the English dub.

A highly advanced technological civilization native to Planet Plant who shared their world with the Saiyans until a brutal war of extermination wiped them out. Their scientific achievements, including the invention of scouters, outlasted their civilization. The Tuffle legacy lived on through vengeful creations like Dr. Lychee's Hatchiyack and the bio-weapon Baby, who sought to avenge his creators against the Saiyan race.

Centipede-like aliens from an unnamed planet in Universe 7 who attempted to poison Beerus during a feast. When the God of Destruction uncovered their plan, they attacked him in desperation and were destroyed, rendering their species extinct in Age 778.

Purple mushroom-headed aliens from a planet attacked by Lord Slug in a Dragon Ball Heroes promotional movie. Their peaceful civilization was nearly destroyed by Slug's Demon Clan before being saved by Goku, Beat, and the Frieza Clansman Froze.

Massive carnivorous creatures native to Planet Vampa who disguise themselves as parts of the landscape. They serve as both the dominant predators and, through Broly's childhood friend Ba, an emotional anchor in Dragon Ball Super: Broly.

Giant parasitic mites native to Planet Vampa that drain nutrients from living beings through syringe-like tongues. They served as both predators and primary food source for Broly during his decades-long exile, providing sustenance despite their foul taste.

Blood-sucking undead monsters that roam the Earth in the Dragon Ball universe. They retain classic vampire traits like bat transformation, weakness to garlic, and aversion to religious symbols, but unlike traditional vampires they are not vulnerable to sunlight.

Two nearly identical alien races from the planets Vewon and Sinkle that serve in the Frieza Force. Similar to the Mixxileeans in appearance, they are featured in Dragon Ball Online with their most notable member being the elite soldier Archie.

Wolf-like humanoids found in both Universe 7 and Universe 9, with a Majin variant dwelling in the Demon Realm. Their most prominent representatives are the Trio of Danger, three wolf brothers who fought as Universe 9's champions in the Tournament of Power.

A physically weak but spiritually gifted race from Planet Yardrat who mastered the art of Spirit Control. They nursed Goku back to health after Namek and taught him Instant Transmission, one of the most iconic techniques in Dragon Ball history. Decades later, Vegeta traveled to Yardrat to learn their secrets, gaining abilities that would prove crucial against the planet-eater Moro.

A race of blue-skinned transforming aliens whose most famous member, Zarbon, served as one of Frieza's top lieutenants. They possess the ability to shift between an elegant humanoid form and a powerful reptilian monster form, trading beauty for raw combat power.

Reanimated dead creatures that roam the Dragon Ball universe, appearing most notably in Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn when the barriers between the living and dead worlds shattered. They range from mindless shambling corpses to intelligent undead capable of commanding armies.

Aliens from Planet Zoon where gravity is ten times stronger than Earth's, the same level as Planet Vegeta. Their most notorious member is Pui Pui, one of Babidi's minions who fought Vegeta in the Majin Buu Saga, and they also serve as Babidi's standard Majin Soldiers.
