[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yardratians_dbe_ep_123_001_1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:The Yardrats as they appear in ''Anime/DragonBallZ'']]
A race of aliens with the ability of the Instant Transmission. They were planned to be conquered by the Ginyu Force, but were saved indirectly by Goku and Vegeta during the Planet Namek incident. After Namek's destruction, Goku arrived there, and the Yardrats taught him the Instant Transmission technique and took care of him for half a year.
For some reason, the Yardrats also exist on [[Characters/DragonBallUniverse2 Universe 2]], and one of them is part of Universe 2's team during the Tournament of Power.
----
* ADayInTheLimelight: Long before its return in ''Dragon Ball Super'', Planet Yardrat was given the privilege of being home to its own level in ''VideoGame/DragonBallZSagas'', which depicts Goku dueling with the warrior-type Soba prior to his return to Earth.
* AscendedExtra: While an individual Yardrat (with the pink Toei design) served as a notable member of Team Universe 2 during the Tournament of Power, the Yardrats of Universe 7 finally become relevant again in the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga as Vegeta travels to their planet in order to learn their mysterious techniques.
** They also bear relevance in ''VideoGame/DragonBallOnline'', having been commissioned to mass produce time machines for Earth as early as 100 years before the start of the game.
* TheGhost: They never appear directly in the manga, with the anime adaptation of ''Z'' creating a design for them. Amusingly, Creator/AkiraToriyama's design for them in ''VideoGame/DragonBallOnline'' looks very different. They finally appear in person in the Galactic Prisoner Arc when Vegeta needs help to deal with [[TheChessmaster Moro]].
* KiManipulation: They're capable of this, but in a very unique way. Rather than mastering the physical augmentation the heroes did, they studied the nature of Ki, which they call Spirit, and as a result, have mastered techniques like Instant Transmission. This is why Vegeta heads here to learn from them to counter Moro.
* MesACrowd: Their Spirit Control allows them to multiply at will. Unlike Multi-Form, however, this is something they're capable of spamming in large numbers and were able to effectively fool someone capable of ki sense into thinking they're separate beings.
* SizeShifter: Their Spirit Control allows them to increase their size at will, and maintain it casually.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Before Jimizu appeared alongside Universe 2's team in ''Super'', they never directly appeared in the series, but they taught Goku the Instant Transmission technique, which helped him save the day on many occasions.
* WeakButSkilled: They are a rather weak race when it comes to fighting, but they have control over space and time, and their Instant Transmission technique is among the most useful techniques in the series. They explain in the Galactic Prisoner Arc that this is because they've studied the nature of Ki itself, which they call Spirit, and while weak in terms of their actual power level, are far, far more skilled in what they can actually do with it compared to the heroes.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/c/c9/Yadorats_3.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170613152435 They look quite different when they reappear in]] ''VideoGame/DragonBallOnline''. The Galactic Prisoner Arc eventually explains that they're two different subspecies of Yardrats that both live on the planet.

[[folder:The Tuffles]]
!!Tuffles (ツフル人, ''Tsufuru-jin'')
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tuffles.png]]
-> ''"The only people who can handle weapons like these are the Tuffles. A race that was destroyed by my old man. Planet Vegeta was originally inhabited by them, but when the Saiyans stumbled on their world, they wiped out all of the Tuffles, and took the planet for their own."''
-->-- '''Vegeta'''
Before King Vegeta conquered what would be known as Planet Vegeta, there was Planet Plant, with its inhabitants known as the Tuffles. The Tuffles were a highly advanced race of pacifist HumanAliens, who had to coexist with the violent Saiyans. They were exterminated by King Vegeta, making their race extinct.
In the OVA ''Anime/DragonBallPlanToEradicateTheSaiyans'', the last surviving artifact made by the Tuffles, [[Characters/DragonBallZMovieVillains Hatchiyack, and the ghost projection of Doctor Lychee]], plans to have RevengeByProxy by destroying the last surviving Saiyans and the Earth. In ''Anime/DragonBallGT'', the Tuffles appear again in [[Characters/DragonBallGTVillains Baby]], who thanks to the Tuffle technology, managed to retain the genetic memory of every single Tuffle.
For some reason, the Tuffles appear to also exist on [[Characters/DragonBallUniverse2 Universe 2]], and one of them is part of Universe 2's team during the Tournament of Power.
----
* AlternateHistory: In ''VideoGame/DragonBallHeroes'', the Tuffles used to exist in Universe 6, but have a much different history than the ones in Universe 7.
** The Saiyans never occupied their planet and lived beside the Tuffles since they never destroyed their original home planet, Planet Sadala.
** The origin of Neo Machine Mutant Tuffles like Baby is different. Instead of being created to avenge the Tuffles, they were simply created to be the {{Ultimate Lifeform}}s.
** The demise of the Tuffle race is different. Instead of being exterminated by the Saiyans, they were wiped out by their own creations, Neo Machine Mutant Tuffles Oren and Kamin.
* CanonImmigrant: The Tuffles were never mentioned in the original manga, first appearing in ''Z'' filler, though the backstory of the Tuffles and Saiyans comes from a memo by Toriyama. They are a canon species as of ''Super'', where a member of its race fights in the Tournament of Power for Universe 2.
* EdibleThemeNaming: The Japanese name is a pun on the loanword for "fruit" ("Tsufuru" is an anagram for "furutsu", the Japanese pronunciation for "fruits").
* TheFarmerAndTheViper: According to Dr. Lychee, the Tuffles tried to help the Saiyans but were instead exterminated by them. It should be noted, however, that this account isn't exactly backed up by what we see in flashbacks: while the Saiyans did make war on the Tuffles (and ultimately wiped them out), they were shown as living in primitive conditions prior to King Vegeta's war, implying that the Tuffles weren't quite as generous to the invaders as Lychee paints them as being.
* {{Foil}}: To the Saiyans. Both are HumanAliens, but while the Saiyans were barbaric, the Tuffles were pacifistic and highly technological.
* HumanAliens: Like the Saiyans, they are downright identical to the Earthlings, but they're smaller than Saiyans.
* LostInTranslation: The original Japanese name is a pun on the Japanese loanword for "fruit", where the kana is rearranged similar to how the Japanese name for "Saiyan" is the kana for "vegetable" in reverse. The English name doesn't retain the pun.
* PosthumousCharacter: The Tuffles are stated to be extinct in every media they appear. Its last surviving member, Doctor Lychee, also passed away and was reborn as a Ghost Warrior by Hatchiyack.
* SufficientlyAdvancedAlien: They are stated to be great scientists, and during the conflict between the Tuffles and the Saiyans, they fought with their many weapons. Alas, they didn't survive, but according to a source, the Scouters that allow the Frieza Empire to read power levels were created by them. This also extends to their "survivors" Doctor Lychee, who is a Ghost Warrior created by the supercomputer Hatchiyack, and Baby, who is a parasite with the genetic memory of King Tuffle.

[[folder:The Plants]]
!!Plants (プラント, ''Puranto-seijin'')
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/plants3aeob.png]]
The indigenous population of Planet Plant which appear in ''[[Anime/DragonBallEpisodeOfBardock Episode of Bardock]]''. Their planet was eyed out by the Galactic Frieza Army founder, Chilled, who tried to attack it with his men in an invasion, but it was repelled by Bardock.
----
* TheCameo: A member of the Plants can be seen as aiding Frieza's army during the ''Universal Survival Arc'' in the manga. Talk about {{irony}}, but since it's only a cameo, don't think too hard about it.
* {{Irony}}: Despite being saved by a Saiyan from Lord Chilled, it's pretty likely they end up wiped out by the Saiyans much later.
* HumanoidAliens: Despite their weird appearances, they behave pretty much like a human tribe.
* OnlySixFaces: ''Dragon Ball Minus'' shows one of Frieza's minions looks just like one of the Plantians.
* RememberTheNewGuy: There was no mention of the planet Vegeta having a third race before the story they appeared in.
* SchrodingersCanon: Their sole appearance is in the very controversial and dubiously canon Episode of Bardock, but have received no lore or focus afterward, or even acknowledgment. As such, it's not known if they are to be considered as actually existing or not.
* UncertainDoom: Its never clear what happened to them after Bardock saved them from Chilled. Did they evolve to become the Tuffles, or were a separate race altogether? One thing is for certain: they were wiped out by the Saiyans. Then again, coming from a WhatIf story is pretty likely they never existed in the first place.

[[folder:Tapion]]
!!'''Tapion (タピオン)'''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tapion_dragon_ball_z_by_orco05.png]]
->'''Voiced by (Japanese):''' Creator/HiroYuki\\
'''Voiced by (English):''' Creator/JasonLiebrecht\\
'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Genaro Vásquez
A central character from the 13th ''[=DBZ=]'' movie. Trapped in suspended animation for 1000 years, Tapion is awakened from his slumber via a wish from Goku and the gang. Unfortunately, in doing so, they also unleashed the full horror of a terrible giant beast; a beast that Tapion sacrificed himself to defeat all those years ago. Tapion takes it upon himself to do away with the monster once and for all and ultimately enlists the help of the Saiyans in his quest to do so.
He is arguably the film's main protagonist, thus making ''Wrath of the Dragon'' the only movie or special not to star a Saiyan or part-Saiyan.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: In his debut movie, he doesn't have any skills beyond the basic swordsmanship and sealing flute capabilities, the games and supplimental materials give him his own ki-based techniques and flight.
* BadassNormal: Unusually for the series, Tapion seems to have only the abilities bestowed upon him by the mystical Ocarina, he can't even seem to fly on his own. But that doesn't stop him from holding his own against Hoi and doing his best to defeat Hirudegarn.
* BadassPacifist: Drops the pacifist part when he starts appearing in the ''Budokai'' games. (He doesn't seem to be able to even fly on his own in the movie.)
* BashBrothers: He was this with his little brother Minosha. It's less 'bash' and more 'GuileHero', though.
* BigDamnHero: Until Goku is able to figure out a more permanent solution, Tapion's the only means of keeping Hildegarn under control, and the first few fights last only until he's able to do something about it.
* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:Bulma gives him the Time Machine to go back to his time at the end of the movie.]]
%%* CaptainErsatz: ''Probably'' is this to the likes of [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] and [[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger Crono]].
* CompositeCharacter: Tapion is a combination of Future Trunks and the Supreme Kai Shin. He's a sword fighter from a distant time, like Future Trunks, and someone who's against an evil wizard who is trying to revive a terrible monster, like Shin, while also combining some elements from the design of the Supreme Kai (the mohawk and the PointyEars), and even getting the same voice actor in the Latin American Spanish dub. This is especially noticeable in hindsight, as Future Trunks would be looked at as a CoolBigBro by Kid Trunks in ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' much like Tapion was by Kid Trunks in the movie.
* CoolBigBro: Trunks would very much like him to be this, and Tapion seems to warm up to it towards the end of the movie.
* CoolSword: Given to (main timeline) Trunks at the end of the movie, and he'd go on to use it in [[BaitAndSwitchCredits the opening for]] ''GT''. It may or may not be the sword that Future Trunks used, depending on if Tapion came to Earth or not in that timeline (Is confusing, don't think too hard about it). For however much it's worth, ''VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse'' labels Future Trunks's sword as Tapion's, while ''VideoGame/DragonBallZKakarot'' claims they simply look very similar but are ''not'' the same.
* CrazyPrepared: His people were this. After temporarily defeating and weakening Hirudegarn, the Kontasian people had the halves sealed in two brothers, and then those brothers are sealed away in music boxes, and ''then'' those boxes are sent out into space in the opposite direction of one another. It works for about a thousand years before Hoi arrives on Earth.
* CruelToBeKind: He acknowledges it's very unfair to ask the young Trunks to strike him down when they had formed a close friendship, but bluntly reminds him that it's either Trunks kills him, or Hirudegarn kills everyone.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Is legitimately a hero and the savior of his race, but there's a very good reason his first action on being released is to chew everyone out for it, then get as far away from the city as is feasible.
* DefrostingIceKing: Starts up as very cold and distant, but opens up more once Trunks befriends him.
* EnemyWithin: He has half of Hirudegarn inside his body, and the other half was given to his brother. He can't fall asleep or otherwise, will awaken the monster. It gives him nightmares.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: He admits he's ready to die at the hands of Trunks if it means he takes Hirudegarn with him.
* ICannotSelfTerminate: Due to the fact he only carries half of the monster, he can't simply kill himself to kill Hirudegarn along with him. During the climax, he takes all of the monster into himself and asks Trunks to kill him, but the monster grew too powerful for him to handle.
* TheInsomniac: Hildegarn will escape if he sleeps outside of suspended animation. Though he's shown to have terrible nightmares when he does actually sleep, it seems to be linked to Hildegarn.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Trunks, as the former is a young child while Tapion is at least 1000 years old, they still manage to bond quite quickly.
* {{Leitmotif}}: He has an ocarina theme song that is important to the plot, as its tune can calm down the monster.
* MagicKnight: Both his ocarina and sword were given to him by a wizard, both with magical and powerful sealing properties.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Of the suspended animation variety - he was born 1000 years ago.
* PerpetualFrowner: As he has nothing to look forward to [[spoiler: except the likelihood of Hildegarn fully emerging, and everything he ever knew 1000 years in the past.]] He's a bit happier at the end of the movie.
* PointyEars: A Conuts-ian trait.
* TheQuietOne: After arriving on Earth, at first.
* SealedEvilInACan: The evil monster is sealed within his own body.
* SealedGoodInACan: Technically, the evil monster is sealed inside ''him'' and then ''he'' is sealed inside the can.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Spelling doesn't change, but the Japanese version pronounces his name with a short "a" sound while the Funimation dub pronounces it with a ''long'' "a" sound.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: As someone from a distant time, Tapion is pretty much Future Trunks with a more mystic theme. This is not a bad example, however, as Tapion manages to be a pretty good substitute for Future Trunks, and is the closest kid Trunks ever got to meet his future counterpart before ''Anime/DragonBallSuper''.
* ThemeNaming: Tapion's name is apparently a play on the word ''tapioca'', which fits with the food-naming theme.

Tapion's younger brother. A hero to his home planet that sealed himself with the lower part of Hirudegarn somewhere in the south galaxy. Sadly, the evil wizard Hoi found him and awakened the demonic beast, killing the young hero.
----
* CastingGag: He shares voice actress with [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Young Link]].
* KidHero: He was only seven years old when he sealed half of Hirudegarn alongside his big brother.
* PosthumousCharacter: By the time the film starts, he has been long dead. However, Bulma gives Tapion a time machine so that he can return to his own time, in order to undo his death.

[[folder:Gure]]
!!Gure (グレ)
[[quoteright:160:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gure_artwork.png]]
->'''Voiced by (Japanese):''' Creator/KumikoNishihara
Gure is Tarble's wife who also came to Earth with him. She is very short, coming in slightly shorter than young Trunks and Goten. Her species is unknown, but she looks nothing like a Saiyan or a human.
----
* CanonImmigrant: Zig-zagged. The ''Battle of Gods'' movie is approved as canon by Creator/AkiraToriyama, and in it there's a line in which Bulma asks Vegeta about "that sweet and kind little brother of yours?", to which Vegeta answered that last time he heard, "he's living on some backwater planet, and I don't know which one!", but this exchange does not happen in the ''Super'' arc adaptation of the movie, so Tarble and Gure's canon status is more or less ambiguous.
* FlatCharacter: She is very polite, but doesn't have that much more depth and is pretty satelital to Tarble.
* HappilyMarried: Gure looking nothing like a human or Saiyan certainly doesn't discourage Tarble from proudly introducing her as his beloved to Vegeta.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Only relatively speaking. Tarble is twice as tall as Gure, but the shortest adult Saiyan.
* InterspeciesRomance: While there's plenty of this in ''Dragon Ball'', these two really stand out. She and Tarble are the only relationship in the franchise that doesn't involve two HumanAliens.
* NiceGirl: She is a very polite woman.
* OddCouple: She and Tarble, to the point that it's ''really'' hard to see what he saw in her... Or, provided she's indicative of what her species looks like, what she saw in him. This is especially noticeable as she is not a strong-willed woman, something Saiyans like.
* OneShotCharacter: Only appeared in ''Anime/DragonBallYoSonGokuAndHisFriendsReturn''.
* ReusedCharacterDesign: Gure bears a strong resemblance to the Tech-Tech aliens from ''Neko Majin'', who like the Saiyans, were also quite hostile. This species, however, also appeared in ''Manga/JacoTheGalacticPatrolman'' and the manga adaptation of ''Resurrection [='F'=]'', giving rise to the theory she belongs to the same race.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: She doesn't have any sort of character that doesn't rely on Tarble.

[[folder:"Yamcha"]]
[[quoteright:237:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/f34c6cd2_0fc1_41d0_8179_e4e86148eef5.png]]
[[caption-width-right:237:Don't be fooled. This is just some fanboy trapped in his body.]]
A Japanese high school student from a more realistic Earth where the ''Dragon Ball'' series is fictional, who appears in the SpinOff manga ''Manga/DragonBallThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsYamcha''. After a potentially fatal accident, he is resurrected in the ''Dragon Ball'' world as Yamcha shortly before Goku starts his training with Master Roshi. Realizing Yamcha's fate throughout the series, the student seeks to make Yamcha a stronger fighter than Goku this time around.
----
* AlternateSelf: "Yamcha" is this to Yamcha, as he is stronger, more savvy thanks to his MediumAwareness, and more diligent when it comes to training than he ever was. He also lacks the facial scars of the original, presumably due to not doing the same training prior to the 23rd World Martial Arts tournament.
* CharacterDevelopment: At first, he wants to survive the battle against the Saiyans so he can marry Bulma. Once the actual battle is over, however, he lets Vegeta survive after realizing Trunks wouldn't be born (and unable to warn about the impending BadFuture) if he didn't get together with her.
* ChekhovsSkill: Because this kid knows what he knows, he can make his ("Yamcha's") training more efficient than it was before. He can also fake Vegeta out mid-battle [[CombatPragmatist by saying "Hey look, it's Beerus!", causing him to let his guard down]].
* CosmicPlaything: [[spoiler:He was reincarnated as Yamcha as part of a "reincarnation game" played between Beerus and Champa, and is sent back to his old life after he ends the game in a tie by befriending the similarly-reincarnated Chiaotzu.]]
* HeroicBSOD: He becomes sad when [[spoiler:he has an opportunity to finish off the defeated Vegeta, but realizes if Vegeta dies, Trunks won't exist. He reluctantly lets Vegeta escape while bemoaning the fact that he'll have to let Bulma, whom he had fallen in love with, get together with Vegeta.]]
* GoingThroughTheMotions: He starts out copying what the real Yamcha does motion for motions until he changes his mind about going to West City with Bulma.
* MediumAwareness: His awareness in how the series plays out allows him to survive the invasion of the Saiyans ''by going to Namek to train with Nail and get his potential unlocked by Guru, something none of the main characters could have known of''. His shouting to Vegeta about Beerus also saves his ass from his wrath. He also does other things like drink the poisoned Holy Water that increases your power if you survive, learns Roshi's sealing technique, and [[spoiler:figures out Chiaotzu is also a reincarnated individual because he acts way out of character.]]
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: In an example of ArtShift, his original identity is drawn with a completely different art style from Toriyama style from the '90s, to reflect how he is from the real world.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: While no longer being TheWorfEffect incarnate and [[spoiler:having prevented the deaths of "himself", Tien, Chiaotzu, and Piccolo due to Goku being late to the battle]], he's still implied to be weaker than Goku [[spoiler:and teams up with him to beat Vegeta, not strong enough to take him on by himself, if only because of Goku's Kaioken (as his default power level is 10,000, higher than Goku's 8,000)]]. After this, he even realizes neither he, nor any other human, will be a match for the villains that lie ahead.
* SequenceBreaking: Decides to break from the canon story by skipping training on Earth during the wait for the Saiyans by going straight to ''Namek'' to train with Nail and get his potential unlocked by Guru.
* SmokeShield: Survived [[ActionBomb mass bombing]] from the Saibamen unharmed and was wiping off his gi when the dust settled.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Thanks to his knowledge of the ''Dragon Ball'' franchise, he manages to save himself from getting blown up by a Saibamen and survives the battle against Vegeta. He also manages to escape being killed by Majin Buu [[spoiler:as Whis sends his soul back to his original Earth before then]].
* TookALevelInBadass: Because of the student's knowledge of what happens in the ''Dragon Ball'' series, including ''Battle of Gods'', him as Yamcha not only avoids Yamcha's cruel meme of a death due to a Saibaman, but he eviscerates '''ALL''' of the Saibamen [[spoiler:and '''KILLS NAPPA''']].
* TrainingMontage: To become stronger than how Yamcha was before, this Yamcha endures the brutal TrainingFromHell that Goku and Krillin endured from Master Roshi, trained with Korin, drank the mystic water, flew to Namek, had Lord Guru unleash his hidden potential, and trained with Nail. This all happened before the fight with Nappa and Vegeta on Earth.
* UndignifiedDeath: Before his revival as Yamcha, the high schooler dies falling down a flight of stairs trying to get a closer look at a girl in a short skirt.

[[quoteright:134:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/d17bed14_49df_4d3d_ba86_d4c84ec93ec9.png]]
An elite student from the realistic Earth who was resurrected into the ''Dragon Ball'' world as Chiaotzu. Despite his knowledge of the ''Dragon Ball'' series, Oushou would die and be resurrected again. Going mad due to this, he sought to take over this world using the Dragon Balls.
----
* AlternateSelf: Oushou is this to Chiaotzu, as he is stronger, more savvy thanks to his MediumAwareness and is far less of a liability.
* CharacterDevelopment: After his resurrection, Oushu tried to work with the hand he was dealt and be a good guy. The problem was no matter what he did, he kept on dying to the point where he doesn't remember how many times he was resurrected. When he first actually appears in the story, he's frustrated and angry and decides to turn evil.
* ChekhovsSkill: Because he's a ''Dragon Ball'' super fan, he made his/Chiaotzu's training more efficient than it was before. It only worked so well, however, as he kept on dying.
* CosmicPlaything: [[spoiler:He was reincarnated as Chioutzu as part of a "reincarnation game" played between Beerus and Champa, and is sent back to his old life after he ends the game in a tie by befriending the similarly-reincarnated Yamcha.]]
* MediumAwareness: Like "Yamcha", Oushou changes his character’s destiny with his knowledge about what happens in the series.
* IDontKnowMortalKombat: The student regularly got first place in events in ''Dragon Ball Dokkan Battle'', but as Chiaotzu has died dozens of times.
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Unlike the boy who was reincarnated as Yamcha, the manga never shows what Oushou really looked like.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Started as good, showed up as evil, and ended up good again [[spoiler:right before the end of Beerus and Champa’s resurrection game]].
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Oushou" was a name he utilized online when playing ''Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle''.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: With all his ''Dragon Ball'' knowledge, it still wasn’t enough to become a stronger warrior in the long run.

!!Yardrats (ヤードラット星人, ''Yādoratto-seijin'')
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yardratians_dbe_ep_123_001_1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:The Yardrats as they appear in ''Anime/DragonBallZ'']]
A race of aliens with the ability of the Instant Transmission. They were planned to be conquered by the Ginyu Force, but were saved indirectly by Goku and Vegeta during the Planet Namek incident. After Namek's destruction, Goku arrived there, and the Yardrats taught him the Instant Transmission technique and took care of him for half a year.
For some reason, the Yardrats also exist on [[Characters/DragonBallUniverse2 Universe 2]], and one of them is part of Universe 2's team during the Tournament of Power.
----
* ADayInTheLimelight: Long before its return in ''Dragon Ball Super'', Planet Yardrat was given the privilege of being home to its own level in ''VideoGame/DragonBallZSagas'', which depicts Goku dueling with the warrior-type Soba prior to his return to Earth.
* AscendedExtra: While an individual Yardrat (with the pink Toei design) served as a notable member of Team Universe 2 during the Tournament of Power, the Yardrats of Universe 7 finally become relevant again in the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga as Vegeta travels to their planet in order to learn their mysterious techniques.
** They also bear relevance in ''VideoGame/DragonBallOnline'', having been commissioned to mass produce time machines for Earth as early as 100 years before the start of the game.
* TheGhost: They never appear directly in the manga, with the anime adaptation of ''Z'' creating a design for them. Amusingly, Creator/AkiraToriyama's design for them in ''VideoGame/DragonBallOnline'' looks very different. They finally appear in person in the Galactic Prisoner Arc when Vegeta needs help to deal with [[TheChessmaster Moro]].
* KiManipulation: They're capable of this, but in a very unique way. Rather than mastering the physical augmentation the heroes did, they studied the nature of Ki, which they call Spirit, and as a result, have mastered techniques like Instant Transmission. This is why Vegeta heads here to learn from them to counter Moro.
* MesACrowd: Their Spirit Control allows them to multiply at will. Unlike Multi-Form, however, this is something they're capable of spamming in large numbers and were able to effectively fool someone capable of ki sense into thinking they're separate beings.
* SizeShifter: Their Spirit Control allows them to increase their size at will, and maintain it casually.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Before Jimizu appeared alongside Universe 2's team in ''Super'', they never directly appeared in the series, but they taught Goku the Instant Transmission technique, which helped him save the day on many occasions.
* WeakButSkilled: They are a rather weak race when it comes to fighting, but they have control over space and time, and their Instant Transmission technique is among the most useful techniques in the series. They explain in the Galactic Prisoner Arc that this is because they've studied the nature of Ki itself, which they call Spirit, and while weak in terms of their actual power level, are far, far more skilled in what they can actually do with it compared to the heroes.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/c/c9/Yadorats_3.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170613152435 They look quite different when they reappear in]] ''VideoGame/DragonBallOnline''. The Galactic Prisoner Arc eventually explains that they're two different subspecies of Yardrats that both live on the planet.

[[folder:The Tuffles]]
!!Tuffles (ツフル人, ''Tsufuru-jin'')
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tuffles.png]]
-> ''"The only people who can handle weapons like these are the Tuffles. A race that was destroyed by my old man. Planet Vegeta was originally inhabited by them, but when the Saiyans stumbled on their world, they wiped out all of the Tuffles, and took the planet for their own."''
-->-- '''Vegeta'''
Before King Vegeta conquered what would be known as Planet Vegeta, there was Planet Plant, with its inhabitants known as the Tuffles. The Tuffles were a highly advanced race of pacifist HumanAliens, who had to coexist with the violent Saiyans. They were exterminated by King Vegeta, making their race extinct.
In the OVA ''Anime/DragonBallPlanToEradicateTheSaiyans'', the last surviving artifact made by the Tuffles, [[Characters/DragonBallZMovieVillains Hatchiyack, and the ghost projection of Doctor Lychee]], plans to have RevengeByProxy by destroying the last surviving Saiyans and the Earth. In ''Anime/DragonBallGT'', the Tuffles appear again in [[Characters/DragonBallGTVillains Baby]], who thanks to the Tuffle technology, managed to retain the genetic memory of every single Tuffle.
For some reason, the Tuffles appear to also exist on [[Characters/DragonBallUniverse2 Universe 2]], and one of them is part of Universe 2's team during the Tournament of Power.
----
* AlternateHistory: In ''VideoGame/DragonBallHeroes'', the Tuffles used to exist in Universe 6, but have a much different history than the ones in Universe 7.
** The Saiyans never occupied their planet and lived beside the Tuffles since they never destroyed their original home planet, Planet Sadala.
** The origin of Neo Machine Mutant Tuffles like Baby is different. Instead of being created to avenge the Tuffles, they were simply created to be the {{Ultimate Lifeform}}s.
** The demise of the Tuffle race is different. Instead of being exterminated by the Saiyans, they were wiped out by their own creations, Neo Machine Mutant Tuffles Oren and Kamin.
* CanonImmigrant: The Tuffles were never mentioned in the original manga, first appearing in ''Z'' filler, though the backstory of the Tuffles and Saiyans comes from a memo by Toriyama. They are a canon species as of ''Super'', where a member of its race fights in the Tournament of Power for Universe 2.
* EdibleThemeNaming: The Japanese name is a pun on the loanword for "fruit" ("Tsufuru" is an anagram for "furutsu", the Japanese pronunciation for "fruits").
* TheFarmerAndTheViper: According to Dr. Lychee, the Tuffles tried to help the Saiyans but were instead exterminated by them. It should be noted, however, that this account isn't exactly backed up by what we see in flashbacks: while the Saiyans did make war on the Tuffles (and ultimately wiped them out), they were shown as living in primitive conditions prior to King Vegeta's war, implying that the Tuffles weren't quite as generous to the invaders as Lychee paints them as being.
* {{Foil}}: To the Saiyans. Both are HumanAliens, but while the Saiyans were barbaric, the Tuffles were pacifistic and highly technological.
* HumanAliens: Like the Saiyans, they are downright identical to the Earthlings, but they're smaller than Saiyans.
* LostInTranslation: The original Japanese name is a pun on the Japanese loanword for "fruit", where the kana is rearranged similar to how the Japanese name for "Saiyan" is the kana for "vegetable" in reverse. The English name doesn't retain the pun.
* PosthumousCharacter: The Tuffles are stated to be extinct in every media they appear. Its last surviving member, Doctor Lychee, also passed away and was reborn as a Ghost Warrior by Hatchiyack.
* SufficientlyAdvancedAlien: They are stated to be great scientists, and during the conflict between the Tuffles and the Saiyans, they fought with their many weapons. Alas, they didn't survive, but according to a source, the Scouters that allow the Frieza Empire to read power levels were created by them. This also extends to their "survivors" Doctor Lychee, who is a Ghost Warrior created by the supercomputer Hatchiyack, and Baby, who is a parasite with the genetic memory of King Tuffle.

[[folder:The Plants]]
!!Plants (プラント, ''Puranto-seijin'')
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/plants3aeob.png]]
The indigenous population of Planet Plant which appear in ''[[Anime/DragonBallEpisodeOfBardock Episode of Bardock]]''. Their planet was eyed out by the Galactic Frieza Army founder, Chilled, who tried to attack it with his men in an invasion, but it was repelled by Bardock.
----
* TheCameo: A member of the Plants can be seen as aiding Frieza's army during the ''Universal Survival Arc'' in the manga. Talk about {{irony}}, but since it's only a cameo, don't think too hard about it.
* {{Irony}}: Despite being saved by a Saiyan from Lord Chilled, it's pretty likely they end up wiped out by the Saiyans much later.
* HumanoidAliens: Despite their weird appearances, they behave pretty much like a human tribe.
* OnlySixFaces: ''Dragon Ball Minus'' shows one of Frieza's minions looks just like one of the Plantians.
* RememberTheNewGuy: There was no mention of the planet Vegeta having a third race before the story they appeared in.
* SchrodingersCanon: Their sole appearance is in the very controversial and dubiously canon Episode of Bardock, but have received no lore or focus afterward, or even acknowledgment. As such, it's not known if they are to be considered as actually existing or not.
* UncertainDoom: Its never clear what happened to them after Bardock saved them from Chilled. Did they evolve to become the Tuffles, or were a separate race altogether? One thing is for certain: they were wiped out by the Saiyans. Then again, coming from a WhatIf story is pretty likely they never existed in the first place.

[[folder:Tapion]]
!!'''Tapion (タピオン)'''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tapion_dragon_ball_z_by_orco05.png]]
->'''Voiced by (Japanese):''' Creator/HiroYuki\\
'''Voiced by (English):''' Creator/JasonLiebrecht\\
'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Genaro Vásquez
A central character from the 13th ''[=DBZ=]'' movie. Trapped in suspended animation for 1000 years, Tapion is awakened from his slumber via a wish from Goku and the gang. Unfortunately, in doing so, they also unleashed the full horror of a terrible giant beast; a beast that Tapion sacrificed himself to defeat all those years ago. Tapion takes it upon himself to do away with the monster once and for all and ultimately enlists the help of the Saiyans in his quest to do so.
He is arguably the film's main protagonist, thus making ''Wrath of the Dragon'' the only movie or special not to star a Saiyan or part-Saiyan.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: In his debut movie, he doesn't have any skills beyond the basic swordsmanship and sealing flute capabilities, the games and supplimental materials give him his own ki-based techniques and flight.
* BadassNormal: Unusually for the series, Tapion seems to have only the abilities bestowed upon him by the mystical Ocarina, he can't even seem to fly on his own. But that doesn't stop him from holding his own against Hoi and doing his best to defeat Hirudegarn.
* BadassPacifist: Drops the pacifist part when he starts appearing in the ''Budokai'' games. (He doesn't seem to be able to even fly on his own in the movie.)
* BashBrothers: He was this with his little brother Minosha. It's less 'bash' and more 'GuileHero', though.
* BigDamnHero: Until Goku is able to figure out a more permanent solution, Tapion's the only means of keeping Hildegarn under control, and the first few fights last only until he's able to do something about it.
* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:Bulma gives him the Time Machine to go back to his time at the end of the movie.]]
%%* CaptainErsatz: ''Probably'' is this to the likes of [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] and [[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger Crono]].
* CompositeCharacter: Tapion is a combination of Future Trunks and the Supreme Kai Shin. He's a sword fighter from a distant time, like Future Trunks, and someone who's against an evil wizard who is trying to revive a terrible monster, like Shin, while also combining some elements from the design of the Supreme Kai (the mohawk and the PointyEars), and even getting the same voice actor in the Latin American Spanish dub. This is especially noticeable in hindsight, as Future Trunks would be looked at as a CoolBigBro by Kid Trunks in ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' much like Tapion was by Kid Trunks in the movie.
* CoolBigBro: Trunks would very much like him to be this, and Tapion seems to warm up to it towards the end of the movie.
* CoolSword: Given to (main timeline) Trunks at the end of the movie, and he'd go on to use it in [[BaitAndSwitchCredits the opening for]] ''GT''. It may or may not be the sword that Future Trunks used, depending on if Tapion came to Earth or not in that timeline (Is confusing, don't think too hard about it). For however much it's worth, ''VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse'' labels Future Trunks's sword as Tapion's, while ''VideoGame/DragonBallZKakarot'' claims they simply look very similar but are ''not'' the same.
* CrazyPrepared: His people were this. After temporarily defeating and weakening Hirudegarn, the Kontasian people had the halves sealed in two brothers, and then those brothers are sealed away in music boxes, and ''then'' those boxes are sent out into space in the opposite direction of one another. It works for about a thousand years before Hoi arrives on Earth.
* CruelToBeKind: He acknowledges it's very unfair to ask the young Trunks to strike him down when they had formed a close friendship, but bluntly reminds him that it's either Trunks kills him, or Hirudegarn kills everyone.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Is legitimately a hero and the savior of his race, but there's a very good reason his first action on being released is to chew everyone out for it, then get as far away from the city as is feasible.
* DefrostingIceKing: Starts up as very cold and distant, but opens up more once Trunks befriends him.
* EnemyWithin: He has half of Hirudegarn inside his body, and the other half was given to his brother. He can't fall asleep or otherwise, will awaken the monster. It gives him nightmares.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: He admits he's ready to die at the hands of Trunks if it means he takes Hirudegarn with him.
* ICannotSelfTerminate: Due to the fact he only carries half of the monster, he can't simply kill himself to kill Hirudegarn along with him. During the climax, he takes all of the monster into himself and asks Trunks to kill him, but the monster grew too powerful for him to handle.
* TheInsomniac: Hildegarn will escape if he sleeps outside of suspended animation. Though he's shown to have terrible nightmares when he does actually sleep, it seems to be linked to Hildegarn.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Trunks, as the former is a young child while Tapion is at least 1000 years old, they still manage to bond quite quickly.
* {{Leitmotif}}: He has an ocarina theme song that is important to the plot, as its tune can calm down the monster.
* MagicKnight: Both his ocarina and sword were given to him by a wizard, both with magical and powerful sealing properties.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Of the suspended animation variety - he was born 1000 years ago.
* PerpetualFrowner: As he has nothing to look forward to [[spoiler: except the likelihood of Hildegarn fully emerging, and everything he ever knew 1000 years in the past.]] He's a bit happier at the end of the movie.
* PointyEars: A Conuts-ian trait.
* TheQuietOne: After arriving on Earth, at first.
* SealedEvilInACan: The evil monster is sealed within his own body.
* SealedGoodInACan: Technically, the evil monster is sealed inside ''him'' and then ''he'' is sealed inside the can.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Spelling doesn't change, but the Japanese version pronounces his name with a short "a" sound while the Funimation dub pronounces it with a ''long'' "a" sound.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: As someone from a distant time, Tapion is pretty much Future Trunks with a more mystic theme. This is not a bad example, however, as Tapion manages to be a pretty good substitute for Future Trunks, and is the closest kid Trunks ever got to meet his future counterpart before ''Anime/DragonBallSuper''.
* ThemeNaming: Tapion's name is apparently a play on the word ''tapioca'', which fits with the food-naming theme.

'''Voiced by (English):''' Creator/AaronDismuke\\
'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Circe Luna
Tapion's younger brother. A hero to his home planet that sealed himself with the lower part of Hirudegarn somewhere in the south galaxy. Sadly, the evil wizard Hoi found him and awakened the demonic beast, killing the young hero.
----
* CastingGag: He shares voice actress with [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Young Link]].
* KidHero: He was only seven years old when he sealed half of Hirudegarn alongside his big brother.
* PosthumousCharacter: By the time the film starts, he has been long dead. However, Bulma gives Tapion a time machine so that he can return to his own time, in order to undo his death.

[[folder:Gure]]
!!Gure (グレ)
[[quoteright:160:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gure_artwork.png]]
->'''Voiced by (Japanese):''' Creator/KumikoNishihara
Gure is Tarble's wife who also came to Earth with him. She is very short, coming in slightly shorter than young Trunks and Goten. Her species is unknown, but she looks nothing like a Saiyan or a human.
----
* CanonImmigrant: Zig-zagged. The ''Battle of Gods'' movie is approved as canon by Creator/AkiraToriyama, and in it there's a line in which Bulma asks Vegeta about "that sweet and kind little brother of yours?", to which Vegeta answered that last time he heard, "he's living on some backwater planet, and I don't know which one!", but this exchange does not happen in the ''Super'' arc adaptation of the movie, so Tarble and Gure's canon status is more or less ambiguous.
* FlatCharacter: She is very polite, but doesn't have that much more depth and is pretty satelital to Tarble.
* HappilyMarried: Gure looking nothing like a human or Saiyan certainly doesn't discourage Tarble from proudly introducing her as his beloved to Vegeta.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Only relatively speaking. Tarble is twice as tall as Gure, but the shortest adult Saiyan.
* InterspeciesRomance: While there's plenty of this in ''Dragon Ball'', these two really stand out. She and Tarble are the only relationship in the franchise that doesn't involve two HumanAliens.
* NiceGirl: She is a very polite woman.
* OddCouple: She and Tarble, to the point that it's ''really'' hard to see what he saw in her... Or, provided she's indicative of what her species looks like, what she saw in him. This is especially noticeable as she is not a strong-willed woman, something Saiyans like.
* OneShotCharacter: Only appeared in ''Anime/DragonBallYoSonGokuAndHisFriendsReturn''.
* ReusedCharacterDesign: Gure bears a strong resemblance to the Tech-Tech aliens from ''Neko Majin'', who like the Saiyans, were also quite hostile. This species, however, also appeared in ''Manga/JacoTheGalacticPatrolman'' and the manga adaptation of ''Resurrection [='F'=]'', giving rise to the theory she belongs to the same race.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: She doesn't have any sort of character that doesn't rely on Tarble.

[[folder:"Yamcha"]]
[[quoteright:237:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/f34c6cd2_0fc1_41d0_8179_e4e86148eef5.png]]
[[caption-width-right:237:Don't be fooled. This is just some fanboy trapped in his body.]]
A Japanese high school student from a more realistic Earth where the ''Dragon Ball'' series is fictional, who appears in the SpinOff manga ''Manga/DragonBallThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsYamcha''. After a potentially fatal accident, he is resurrected in the ''Dragon Ball'' world as Yamcha shortly before Goku starts his training with Master Roshi. Realizing Yamcha's fate throughout the series, the student seeks to make Yamcha a stronger fighter than Goku this time around.
----
* AlternateSelf: "Yamcha" is this to Yamcha, as he is stronger, more savvy thanks to his MediumAwareness, and more diligent when it comes to training than he ever was. He also lacks the facial scars of the original, presumably due to not doing the same training prior to the 23rd World Martial Arts tournament.
* CharacterDevelopment: At first, he wants to survive the battle against the Saiyans so he can marry Bulma. Once the actual battle is over, however, he lets Vegeta survive after realizing Trunks wouldn't be born (and unable to warn about the impending BadFuture) if he didn't get together with her.
* ChekhovsSkill: Because this kid knows what he knows, he can make his ("Yamcha's") training more efficient than it was before. He can also fake Vegeta out mid-battle [[CombatPragmatist by saying "Hey look, it's Beerus!", causing him to let his guard down]].
* CosmicPlaything: [[spoiler:He was reincarnated as Yamcha as part of a "reincarnation game" played between Beerus and Champa, and is sent back to his old life after he ends the game in a tie by befriending the similarly-reincarnated Chiaotzu.]]
* HeroicBSOD: He becomes sad when [[spoiler:he has an opportunity to finish off the defeated Vegeta, but realizes if Vegeta dies, Trunks won't exist. He reluctantly lets Vegeta escape while bemoaning the fact that he'll have to let Bulma, whom he had fallen in love with, get together with Vegeta.]]
* GoingThroughTheMotions: He starts out copying what the real Yamcha does motion for motions until he changes his mind about going to West City with Bulma.
* MediumAwareness: His awareness in how the series plays out allows him to survive the invasion of the Saiyans ''by going to Namek to train with Nail and get his potential unlocked by Guru, something none of the main characters could have known of''. His shouting to Vegeta about Beerus also saves his ass from his wrath. He also does other things like drink the poisoned Holy Water that increases your power if you survive, learns Roshi's sealing technique, and [[spoiler:figures out Chiaotzu is also a reincarnated individual because he acts way out of character.]]
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: In an example of ArtShift, his original identity is drawn with a completely different art style from Toriyama style from the '90s, to reflect how he is from the real world.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: While no longer being TheWorfEffect incarnate and [[spoiler:having prevented the deaths of "himself", Tien, Chiaotzu, and Piccolo due to Goku being late to the battle]], he's still implied to be weaker than Goku [[spoiler:and teams up with him to beat Vegeta, not strong enough to take him on by himself, if only because of Goku's Kaioken (as his default power level is 10,000, higher than Goku's 8,000)]]. After this, he even realizes neither he, nor any other human, will be a match for the villains that lie ahead.
* SequenceBreaking: Decides to break from the canon story by skipping training on Earth during the wait for the Saiyans by going straight to ''Namek'' to train with Nail and get his potential unlocked by Guru.
* SmokeShield: Survived [[ActionBomb mass bombing]] from the Saibamen unharmed and was wiping off his gi when the dust settled.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Thanks to his knowledge of the ''Dragon Ball'' franchise, he manages to save himself from getting blown up by a Saibamen and survives the battle against Vegeta. He also manages to escape being killed by Majin Buu [[spoiler:as Whis sends his soul back to his original Earth before then]].
* TookALevelInBadass: Because of the student's knowledge of what happens in the ''Dragon Ball'' series, including ''Battle of Gods'', him as Yamcha not only avoids Yamcha's cruel meme of a death due to a Saibaman, but he eviscerates '''ALL''' of the Saibamen [[spoiler:and '''KILLS NAPPA''']].
* TrainingMontage: To become stronger than how Yamcha was before, this Yamcha endures the brutal TrainingFromHell that Goku and Krillin endured from Master Roshi, trained with Korin, drank the mystic water, flew to Namek, had Lord Guru unleash his hidden potential, and trained with Nail. This all happened before the fight with Nappa and Vegeta on Earth.
* UndignifiedDeath: Before his revival as Yamcha, the high schooler dies falling down a flight of stairs trying to get a closer look at a girl in a short skirt.

[[quoteright:134:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/d17bed14_49df_4d3d_ba86_d4c84ec93ec9.png]]
An elite student from the realistic Earth who was resurrected into the ''Dragon Ball'' world as Chiaotzu. Despite his knowledge of the ''Dragon Ball'' series, Oushou would die and be resurrected again. Going mad due to this, he sought to take over this world using the Dragon Balls.
----
* AlternateSelf: Oushou is this to Chiaotzu, as he is stronger, more savvy thanks to his MediumAwareness and is far less of a liability.
* CharacterDevelopment: After his resurrection, Oushu tried to work with the hand he was dealt and be a good guy. The problem was no matter what he did, he kept on dying to the point where he doesn't remember how many times he was resurrected. When he first actually appears in the story, he's frustrated and angry and decides to turn evil.
* ChekhovsSkill: Because he's a ''Dragon Ball'' super fan, he made his/Chiaotzu's training more efficient than it was before. It only worked so well, however, as he kept on dying.
* CosmicPlaything: [[spoiler:He was reincarnated as Chioutzu as part of a "reincarnation game" played between Beerus and Champa, and is sent back to his old life after he ends the game in a tie by befriending the similarly-reincarnated Yamcha.]]
* MediumAwareness: Like "Yamcha", Oushou changes his character’s destiny with his knowledge about what happens in the series.
* IDontKnowMortalKombat: The student regularly got first place in events in ''Dragon Ball Dokkan Battle'', but as Chiaotzu has died dozens of times.
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Unlike the boy who was reincarnated as Yamcha, the manga never shows what Oushou really looked like.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Started as good, showed up as evil, and ended up good again [[spoiler:right before the end of Beerus and Champa’s resurrection game]].
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Oushou" was a name he utilized online when playing ''Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle''.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: With all his ''Dragon Ball'' knowledge, it still wasn’t enough to become a stronger warrior in the long run.

* EasilyForgiven: Onio quickly stops seeking revenge on him after he lands on earth. This is despite the fact that Z fondled his wife’s breasts, which made him angry enough to go Super Saiyan, and that him losing to Z in a fight was the reason she divorced him.
* EyesAlwaysShut: Similar to Korin, his eyes are always shut.
* {{Gasshole}}: Once let out a fart so bad that it made Goku disgusted.
