Character	Information
Tao Pie Pie	Race: Human Eyes: Black Hair: Black Skin: Pale Tan Height: 5' 8" Weight: 155.5 lbs. Abilities: Bukujutsu, Dodonpa Appears in: DB, DBZ A deadly assassin hired by Commander Red, Tao Pie Pie fights for one thing: money. He will flee a battle if he feels it is out of his favor. After being defeated by Goku, he disappears for a bit, and returns to fight in the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament. Tao Pie Pie invests in mechanical limbs, hoping they will give him the edge in a fight. After his defeat (again) at the hands of Tien, he goes into hiding for several more years. Tao Pie Pie makes his return in the Cell saga as a henchman for a rich coward who is forcing a village to build a protective dome. When Gohan confronts him, Tao Pie Pie realizes who he's dealing with and runs off.
Tapion	Race: Unknown Eyes: Green Hair: Red Skin: Pale Tan Abilities: Bukujutsu, Ocarina Appears in: DBZ Movie #13 Possessed by the demon Hildegarn, Tapion is a master with his sword. His strength is nothing when compared to Goku, but he unobjectionally sacrifices his freedom in order to keep Hildegarn at bay. Tapion is strikingly similar to Link from "Ocarina of Time," right down to the sword and ocarina. The blade that he wields is handed down to Trunks after Hildegarn is vanquished (Yes, the continuity makes no sense, but hey, this is one of the movies we are talking about here ^_^).
Turlis	Race: Saiyan Eyes: Black Hair: Black Skin: Dark Tan Abilities: Bukujutsu, Renzokou Kikou Ha, Ring Attack, Zanzoken Appears in: DBZ Movie #3 Little is known of Turlis' origins, other than the fact that he is a Saiyan, and looks an awful lot like Goku. He could be his brother, a cousin, or even a clone; it is still unknown to this day. He comes to the earth with his cronies in movie #3 and plants the Tree of Might to sap the Earth's life force for himself. Tares admires Gohan, and even attempts to force him into servitude. Like all movie villains, he is eventually vanquished by the Z warriors.
Tien	Race: Human Eyes: Black Hair: Black (Shaved) Skin: Light Tan Height: 6' 1" Weight: 166 lbs. Abilities: Bukujutsu, Dodonpa, Kame Hame Ha, Kiai, Kikoho, Mafuba, Shinnoken, Shiyoken, Taiyoken, Zanzoken Appears in: DB, DBZ, DBGT Tien is Chaozu's chief bodyguard. His powers revolve around deception and multiplying various body parts. Tien is the developer of numerous techniques such as the Taiyoken and Kikoho. The "three-eyed man", even though he makes few appearances later on, still plays a decent roll in Dragonball.
Thin Buu	Race: Unknown (Demon) Eyes: Red Hair: None Skin: Dark Pink Abilities: Kyushyu, Bukujutsu, Kaifuku, Sai Sei, Renzokou Kikou Ha, Shogekiha, Zanzoken, Udebunriogeki Appears in: DBZ When two thugs shoot Mr. Satan in the heart, Fat Buu releases his evil, forming his opposite, Thin Buu. A being of pure evil, it is identical to its innocent counterpart in all but appearance. This form does not last very long, as Thin Buu soon devours his better half.
Trunks	Race: Half Saiyan, Half Human Eyes: Blue Hair: Light Purple Skin: Light Tan Height: ~5' 2" Weight: ~120 lbs. Abilities: Bukujutsu, Burning Attack, Finish Buster, Fusion, Kame Hame Ha, Masenko, Renzokou Kikou Ha, SSJ, USSJ, Zanzoken Appears in: DBZ, DBGT Trunks is the first child of Vegeta and Bulma. There are two Trunks' in the DB universe: Future Trunks and regular Trunks. "Future Trunks" comes from a parallel universe 14 years in the future where evil androids rule the Earth. He goes back in time after the death of Frieza to prepare the Z warriors for the androids' arrival. So as not to prevent his own birth, he tells no one of his heritage, except Goku. "regular Trunks" is born a little before Future Trunks returns to his own time. He likes to hang out with Goten and they are very good friends. When he and Goten are together, he has a tendency to get them in trouble. Trunks is also sad that he does not have a brother like Goten does (Gohan). Trunks has purple hair and displays extreme levels of power, he reaches Super Saiyan level when he is eight. Despite Trunks' ability to get Goten and himself in trouble, he means well.
