Slug

Slug is a tall Namekian with the usual green skin and pointed ears of his kind.

When he regains his youth, he becomes more muscular and much stronger.

He can also use the special Namekian power to become even bigger, towering over his enemies.

Slug has only evil in his heart.

He is very cruel, quick to anger, and shows no mercy to others.

He likes to rule with fear and often punishes his followers harshly if they disappoint him.

If someone makes him angry, even by accident, he does not hesitate to get rid of them right away.

When he was a child, Namek faced a terrible disaster, so Slug was sent to another planet, just like the Guardian of Earth.

He landed on Slug Planet, where his evil feelings grew even stronger.

He became a mutant—a rare Namekian who is evil through and through.

Slug gathered dark warriors around him, all weak to sunlight, and set out to conquer more worlds.

Slug is a warrior-type Namekian like Nail, so he has great fighting power.

He is so strong that even King Kai says he might be stronger than Freeza or a Super Saiyan.

Slug fights using stretchy arms and by making himself gigantic.

He can read minds just by touching his enemy, similar to the Grand Elder.

However, his biggest weakness is the sound of Earthling whistling—he can't stand it at all, which leads to his defeat.

This weakness was created by the original author just for Slug.

It’s said that most Namekians also dislike the sound of whistling.

Slug’s closest followers are the dark warriors Angira, Dorodabo, Zeeun, and Medamatcha, who all come from Slug Planet and hate sunlight.

Slug has no real friends—he rules by fear and does not value loyalty.

Invading Earth

Slug has already taken over many planets, but now he wants Earth as his new base.

He and his minions come to Earth to turn the planet into a giant spaceship for travel.

Because his team is weak to sunlight, Slug covers the planet with thick clouds to block the sun, making it cold and dark.

Wanting Dragon Balls

While fighting, Slug notices the Four-Star Ball on Gohan Son's hat and learns about the Dragon Balls.

He quickly gathers them with help from his team and wishes for eternal youth.

After becoming young again, Slug becomes even more powerful and easily beats down Goku.

He grows giant and attacks using his stretchy arms, making the fight very hard for Goku.

Slug's Defeat

Piccolo tells Gohan Son to use whistling, which causes Slug a lot of pain and gives Goku a chance.

Goku gets energy from Piccolo and uses Kaioken to punch a hole through Slug’s body, similar to how Piccolo Daimao was defeated long ago.

Slug shrinks back to his normal size and, even badly hurt, still tries to chase Goku.

Finally, Goku uses a Spirit Bomb powered by the sun, hitting Slug and destroying him along with the cloud-making machine.

Trivia

Slug is sometimes called the "god" of Slug's Moving Planet in special articles.

His name comes from the English word for "slug."

In video games, Slug appears as a strong boss, and sometimes as a revived ghost warrior with Turles, Cooler, and Freeza, especially in "Saiyan Extinction Plan."

Slug also appears in other games, sometimes in different colors with different names and stronger stats but similar attacks.

In "Dragon Ball Z: Sparking! NEO," the game lets Slug use his giant form, which was rare in earlier games.

He is part of events in "Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle," where his power and abilities can be upgraded and used in several categories, making him a key choice for teams like Namekian or Giant Form.
