For a species that reproduces asexually through the mouth, Namakians definitely know their way around balls.

Because it doesn't get said enough, nothing about Namekians or their biology makes sense at all.

Except Dendes.Damned Earthlings keep abusing them.They're inert most of the year.

Dende's balls got to sit for seven years between use. God's balls saw way more action.

Yeah,but Dendes still young.Unfair to compare to God's wide array of partners.

Eh, I just kind of assume that as far as diet goes, Namekians get energy from water but replace lost mass with other foods. As far as reproduction goes, they obviously crap out their mouths because they must have a cloaca in their throat. Whee!

It still doesn't really make sense, but it's better.

But Dende's balls are God's balls.

Just with a bit more power.

[up][up]Toriyama has said that Namekians have enzymes in their stomachs that let them get nutrients from water.

It'll be dissapointing if page 1000's page topper isn't about the current topic.

@Rob Yeah,but Dende claimed them,made them his own.

^^ Then I am going to ignore Toriyama because that would require alchemy or a particle accelerator.

All this assuming aliens would be anything remotely resembling us, geez.

LSBK Since: Sep, 2014
#24969: Sep 11th 2015 at 4:49:55 PM

It's not about them not resembling us, it's about the mechanics of Namekian and Saiyan racial traits making no sense at all.

Edit: It's not that big a deal, just something to think about.

I genuinely think it's a stretch to assume anything that evolved on a completely different planet would "make sense" by Earth standards but whatever.

No, see, if all Namekians consumed was water, they would be puddles. They clearly aren't. That's not a matter of differing diets or not being carbon based lifeforms, that's transmuting one element into another. Even if you assume that they somehow filter water to get the impurities in it, then they don't live off of water, they live off little bits of dirt and bacteria inside of water. Given that they can instantly regrow limbs, it also doesn't make sense from the point of conservation of mass.

If you wanted to turn water itself into something else, you would need to either be able to transmute it with magic or turn the hydrogen and oxygen into other elements.

But really, it doesn't matter. Namekians are magic, got it, move on.

Namekians do actually have the excuse that they're magic though.

The Namekian's hearing is probably my favourite thing about them.Hearing through vacuum and the afterlife. [lol]

Speaking of Namekians, with how Shenron phrased it in Super it seems that they ALSO somehow knew about the Super Saiyan God legend... which is odd, when the Saiyans themselves forgot all about it. What.

Saiyans... they're not very smart, y'know?
