The Shamoians - Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan! -
The Weekly ☆ Character Showcase is an article series where we introduce one character from the Dragon Ball universe each week. This time, we're looking at the summarily subjugated Shamoians!
Story
The Shamoians are a small and weak species of alien who are taken to New Planet Vegeta after an attack by Broly forces them to flee their home planet. As part of Paragus' revenge plot against Vegeta, he orders the Shamoians to relentlessly toil under harsh conditions in order to create a fake planet.
A young Shamoian is rescued by Gohan and the others when he is beaten by one of Paragus' soldiers for stopping his work out of concern for an elderly Shamoian.
The Shamoians want to return to their home planet one day, but it was destroyed by Broly when he awakened to Super Saiyan. On top of that, countless Shamoians were killed by him as a warning to Goku.
Later, when New Planet Vegeta is destroyed after a collision with Comet Gumori, the remaining Shamoians manage to escape using Goku's Teleportation.
First Appearance
Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan
Trivia
Their appearance changes drastically as they age!
Shamoians are extremely adorable while they are young, but they grow to look much fiercer as they get older.
