Werewolf

Werewolves, also called wolf people, are wolf-like humanoids who exist across multiple universes and even the Demon Realm. They stand at similar heights to Earthlings but possess distinctly lupine features including elongated snouts, pointed ears, and fur-covered bodies.

Their biology varies significantly by universe and type. Universe 9 werewolves have developed remarkable special abilities that go beyond simple physical combat. Some can absorb damage and convert it into power. Others naturally produce poison. The Majin variant found in the Third Demon World can shift between humanoid and full wolf forms at will.

Diet and Abilities

Universe 9 werewolves are known to consume Drug Fruit, a substance that dramatically enhances their power and musculature. Their ki is completely undetectable by standard sensing methods, giving them a tactical advantage against opponents who rely on energy detection to track enemies.

The species' defining moment in Dragon Ball comes through the Trio of Danger: brothers Bergamo, Lavender, and Basil, who fought as Universe 9's strongest warriors in the Tournament of Power. Each brother possesses a unique biological ability that sets them apart from ordinary fighters.

Bergamo, the eldest, can absorb damage dealt to him and redirect it as increased power, growing larger with each hit he takes. Lavender, the middle brother, naturally secretes poison from his body, which he can inflict on opponents through physical contact, a tactic that temporarily blinded Gohan during their exhibition match. Basil, the youngest, becomes vastly more powerful and muscular after consuming Drug Fruit.

Their signature team attack, Dangers' Triangle, allows them to trap opponents in a coordinated assault that capitalizes on each brother's unique abilities. Despite their considerable power, they were ultimately eliminated from the Tournament of Power, and Universe 9 was subsequently erased before being restored by the Super Dragon Balls.

Beyond Universe 9, wolf people appear in other contexts. Shosa of Universe 4, the twin universe to Universe 9, is a wolf-like humanoid who likely belongs to the same species. In Universe 7, werewolves exist but receive less narrative emphasis. The Demon Realm houses Majin werewolves with shapeshifting abilities, appearing in Dragon Ball Daima.

The werewolves also possess impressive versatility in Dragon Ball Heroes media, where some members can shapeshift into copies of any Dragon Team member, including Beerus and Whis, and use their techniques while disguised.

The species' prominence in Universe 9, a universe defined by its low mortal level and chaotic nature, fits thematically. Wolves are predators by nature, and the Trio of Danger embody a universe where survival demands aggression, cunning, and the willingness to consume whatever gives you an edge.
