Dorakiyans are an alien race from Planet Dorakiya in Universe 11. They possess bluish-gray armored plating over red skin and blank black eyes, with insectoid mouth structures. A Dorakiyan invaded Planet Daldon with a space monster called Araghne before being stopped by the Pride Troopers.
Dorakiyans are a race of aliens native to Planet Dorakiya in Universe 11. Their physical design is striking: bluish-gray humanoid outer plating covers red skin underneath, giving them a naturally armored appearance. Their eyes are blank and black, devoid of visible pupils or irises, and their mouths have an insectoid structure reminiscent of Cell's first form, though colored dark blue. Their overall design appears to draw inspiration from the Meatians of Universe 7.
The species possesses spacefaring technology, utilizing Dorakiyan Spaceships for interplanetary travel. This technological capability, combined with their ability to control or ally with powerful space creatures, marks them as a race with both the intelligence and ambition to extend their influence beyond their homeworld.
The only documented encounter with Dorakiyans in the Dragon Ball Super storyline involves an invasion of Planet Daldon. A Dorakiyan arrived on the planet with a space monster named Araghne under its control, threatening the local population. The invasion was thwarted by three members of the Pride Troopers: Top, Dyspo, and Kahseral, Universe 11's premier superhero team.
This incident was part of the broader introduction of Universe 11's heroes and their day-to-day responsibilities protecting the cosmos. While the Dorakiyan threat was resolved relatively quickly by the Pride Troopers, the encounter demonstrated that Universe 11 faces its own set of interplanetary aggressors and that the Pride Troopers serve a vital peacekeeping role.
The Dorakiyans represent one of the many hostile alien species that exist across the Dragon Ball multiverse. Their presence in Universe 11 helps establish that each universe has its own unique set of threats and defenders. While Universe 7 has the Z Fighters and, somewhat reluctantly, Frieza's forces maintaining a certain order, Universe 11 relies on the Pride Troopers to handle planetary invasions and cosmic threats.
Very little is known about Dorakiyan society, culture, or the broader population of their homeworld. The single documented individual demonstrated a willingness to invade other worlds and the capability to control dangerous space creatures, suggesting a species that is both strategically minded and comfortable with aggressive expansion.
