The Planet Ruudeze Monster - Dragon Ball GT -
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 massive, menacing Monster from Planet Ruudeze!
Story
This enormous creature lives on the scorching desert planet of Ruudeze. Although it normally lurks beneath the sand, it extends its long body and strikes swiftly when it spots prey.
When Goku and the others stop by this planet in search of the Dragon Balls, the Monster attacks their spaceship and destroys its fuel tank. Goku and Trunks try to fight back, but the Monster burrows itself in the sand and escapes.
Later, Pan runs off into the desert while the spaceship is being repaired. The young Saiyan eventually collapses from exhaustion and is soon targeted by another creature of the same species.
Sensing Pan's danger, Gil comes to her rescue but is struck by a sand attack. Then the Machine Mutant dodges the Monster's attempt to swallow him whole and defeats the creature after a fierce battle.
First Appearance
