Biography
Piccolo Daimao (Japanese: ピッコロ大魔王, Hepburn: Pikkoro Daimaō, "The Great Demon King Piccolo") was a member of the Namekians who first came to Planet Earth around 300 years ago. During this time, he sought the position of guardian of the planet but was denied due to the presence of evil within him. As a guardian's motives had to be pure, the nameless Namekian went through intense training and concentration to purge the evil within him. This saw his essence divided into two separate beings one of which was King Piccolo who was his evil half whilst the other was Kami who represented the good in him. These two had a life link between them that meant if one were to perish then the other would die as well.
Overview
Personality and attributes
He had said that for some reason he felt the incredible urge to destroy a martial artist every time he had met one. This was the case regardless of their power as he said he would destroy even those who were tiny and pathetic.
Among his offspring included:
- Piano (ピアノ) :
- Tambourine (タンバリン, Tanbarin) :
- Cymbal (シンバル, Shinbaru) :
- Drum (ドラム, Doramu) :
- Piccolo (ピッコロ, Pikkoro) :
Powers and abilities
Originally, it was thought that he was a demon but in reality he was a member of the green-skinned extraterrestrial species native to the planet Namek.
He was strong enough to thrust his arm through the man's chest thus killing them in the process.
It was shown that he was capable of controlling and manipulating people or objects with the mind through telekinesis which could be performed by lifting a finger.
By activating his body's cells, he was able to attain a giant form where he became faster and stronger but that this puts a strain on his body. In his Great Namekian (グレートナメック星人 Gurēto Namekku-seijin) state, he could achieve heights greater than those of other members of his kin.
Due to his creation by fission, he and Kami were tied together by a Life Link. This meant that if either died then the other one would die as well as they faded from existence.
Among the techniques known to him included:
- Finger Beam (フィンガービーム, Fingā Bīmu) :
- Scatter Finger Beam (連続気功波 Renzoku Kikōha, lit. "Continuing Spirit Cultivation Wave") :
- Eye Lasers (光線眼 Kōsengan) :
- Explosive Demon Wave (爆力魔波 Bakurikimaha, lit. "Demon's Bursting Power Wave") :
- Makosen (魔光閃 Makōsen, lit. "Demon's Light Ray") :
