The claws would make sense.

EDIT: ...I wonder if Cell's ability to regenerate from cells has to do with Freeza's thing about still sorta being alive after being hacked to bits.

Yes, but if the teeth aren't self-defense weapons, that brings us back to teeth having no purpose.

Maybe lots of things used to live in Namek's water supply before the drought. Maybe their water used to be chunky.

The Namekians are real stretchy. Maybe they used their necks to climb and their teeth to grasp onto things before they learned to fly?

Wait, isn't cabbage mostly water? Maybe that's one way they get the daily amount of water without having to actually go into their water supply.

If we're gonna go with that, that'd also explain why they have fangs. To poke holes in stuff and drink blood, 'cause, you know, blood is mostly water.

According to Dende they were planting in an attempt to return the planet back to it's former beauty. The effort was purely for aesthetic reasons and not based on any need they had for food.

Peaceful yet ass-kick able race of isolated humanoids with oddly colored skin, their population made entirely of males ( unless someone else creates a female version of them), in communion with nature and ruled by an old and wise patriarch.

Oh my God, I've just realized, the Namek are Space Smurfs.

Ya know, what if Kami's name (and in turn the Nameless Namekian's name) was also coincidentally Kami, being a pun on Calimari to go with the Namekian naming scheme.

Frieza's ability to survive even when reduced to little bits is exactly why Cell was able to survive as a single cell long enough to regenerate.

Frieza's insane durability and Namekian regeneration is a pretty OP combo, with the Saiyan zenkai as the cherry on top.

Yes, Zenkai was established. The problem with that is that regeneration still takes your own KI to use. Vegeta and Goku got to abuse zenakai because they had sensu beans and regeneration chambers, Cell would have had to use his own KI not only to regrow a limb but his entire body save one cell. That should have used up a lot of power. On top of that, he got his perfect form back without 18.

And again, it was the moment my dad gave up on Dragon Ball(I think), I obviously stuck around to read the volumes to the end, and then bought super sonic warriors, and super sonic warriors 2, and a budokai game and watched the three special movies set after Buu with Abocado, Beerus and Golden Freeza, and...

Iirc,the afterlife is brimming with background Ki,partly why training there is better,the other being the benefits of a dead body.

So maybe he used all that juicy afterlife energy.

Episode 10 of Super was a pretty average warm-up fight, with probably too-much Pilaf.

Pilaf and co. interacting with Whis is comic gold.

Goku was surprisingly petty this episode, but I have to say that it was hilarious to see Beerus get a taste of his own medicine. [lol]
