The Namekian Culture:
Place of Origin: Namek

Common Knowledge

The Nameks are a peaceful race of people. They have green skin and antenna, and they also have pink padded area near their joints.

When a long and disasterous storm occured on Planet Namek, all but two Nameks were killed. The one named Guru repopulated the planet by himself. The one known as Piccolo landed on Earth, and before taking the role as Guardian of Earth, Piccolo split into two beings: Kami and Piccolo Daimou.

Their Planet was destroyed years later by Freeza in a battle against the Saiyan named Kakarot. All of the Nameks were wished back with the Earth Dragon Balls and then later wished to New Namek with the use of the Namek Dragon Balls.

Government

They have no real government, per say. All of the Nameks do look to the Eldest Namek for guidance.

Religion

Nameks do not have a religion, but they feel that they should keep an equilibrium with nature, and so if there is an imbalance, they will attempt to correct it.

Common Abilities

  • Nameks possess a regenerative ability where they can regenerate any part of their body except for their head.
  • Nameks can actually possess a wide variety of unique abilities, such as Guru's ability to awaken one's sleeping power, to Dende's ability to heal others.
  • Nameks can grow in size and raise their power level to some degree. They do become a little slower, but much stronger.
  • Nameks can reproduce asexually, which means they do not need a partner to produce an offsrping.

Celebrity Nameks

  • Guru- Guru was one of the last surviving Nameks, and over a long period of time, repopulated Planet Namek. He possessed the ability to awaken one's hidden power.
  • Piccolo- One of the two Nameks to survive the storm on Namek. He split into two beings: Kami and Piccolo Daimou. He was the most powerful Namek.
  • Kami- The good half of Piccolo who became Guardian of Earth. He watched over the planet for several hundred years before fusing again with Piccolo and be succeeded by Dende.
  • Piccolo Daimou- The evil half of Piccolo, he attempted to take over Earth but was thwarted by Son Goku(Kakarot). Before Piccolo Daimou died, he released a single egg which gave rise to the new Piccolo.
  • Piccolo Daimou Jr.- After being born, he went forth immediately to try and destroy Son Goku. Several years later, he was able to realize his goal when Son Goku sacrificed himself to save Earth from his evil Saiyan brother Radditz. After killing Son Goku, Piccolo realized that he still felt unfulfilled. He trained Son Goku's son Gohan to defend the Earth against an oncoming Saiyan menace. He grew attached to Gohan and sacrificed himself to save him in the battle against the Saiyans. He was wished back later with the help of the Namek Dragon Balls and fused with a dying Nail. He again fused with Kami nearly 4 years later to save the world against the Androids.
  • Dende- The only survivor of a Namek village attacked by Freeza's men. He was saved by Gohan and Krillen from Freeza's evil henchman Dodoria. With Dende's help, they were able to use the Namek Dragon Balls, and thanks to Dende's healing ability, survive in battle against Freeza. Dende was killed by Freeza, but wished back a few hours later with the help of the Earth Dragon Balls. Dende later succeeded Kami as Guardian of the Earth. He also made his own set of Dragon Balls.
  • Nail- A very powerful warrior Namek who was Guru's bodyguard for a time. He was beaten nearly to death by Freeza while he stalled him so the Earthlings could use the Namek Dragon Balls to wish their friends back. He fused a little while later with Piccolo to make Piccolo a Super Namek.
