"Dragon Ball" Tale 255
Elder Muri
Dende (left) / Cargo (right)

Cowering beside Elder Muri are Dende—who would later go on to become Earth's Guardian—and an almost identical Namekian youth named Cargo. They may be hard to tell apart at first glance, but Cargo is a touch smaller, and his clothes had a different color to Dende's in the colored edition of the manga.

"Dragon Ball" Tale 253
Namekian Youths

These brave young Namekians charged forth to face the Frieza Force. Despite not being warrior-type Namekians, they each had Power Levels of roughly 3,000. When Vegeta made his assault on Earth, he was already aware that Namekians possessed extreme fighting prowess. It would seem that the strength of Namekians is known throughout the cosmos.

Inhabitants of Elder Tsuno's Village

"Dragon Ball" Tale 259
Elder Tsuno

Elder Tsuno was the leader of a village that suffered an attack at the hands of Vegeta. Elderly villagers can be seen conducting important work such as passing on their wisdom to the next generation of young Namekians and harvesting crops, while the young and able-bodied appear to be constructing a house. This one panel gives readers a rare and valuable glimpse of what life on Planet Namek is really like.

"Dragon Ball" Tale 265
Nail

The only warrior-type Namekian on Planet Namek—Nail! His Power Level when he fought Frieza was a phenomenal 42,000. One need only recall that Piccolo's Power Level was a comparatively meager 1,330 when he fired his lethal "Makankosappo: Special Beam Cannon" during his final confrontation with Raditz to realize the magnitude of Nail's power!

"Dragon Ball" Tale 265
Saichoro

All Namekians unfortunate enough to be on Planet Namek at the time of Frieza's invasion were offspring of Saichoro's. Since Dende was number 108, we can safely say that there were at least that many! Saichoro possesses many a mysterious ability, including being able to search through others' memories as well as the ability to awaken latent power within them.

"Dragon Ball" Tale 329
Namekians revived with the Dragon Balls

There are of course more Namekians to be seen in the extensive history of Dragon Ball, but I'm sure you'll agree we covered more than our fair share today! Namekians aren't as easy to distinguish from each other as Earthlings are, owing to the fact that they lack hair and eyebrows, but they do have different physical builds and facial features that give each member their own characteristics. It's also worth mentioning that there are lot of Namekian children!
We here at the Namek branch are particularly intrigued by the young Namekian who can be seen above, standing beside Elder Muri. With looks that suggest he must be around the same age Dende was during the Majin Buu arc, his beaming smile and youthful glow make for one handsome Namekian!

"Dragon Ball Super" Chapter 69

And we're yet to mention that "Dragon Ball Super" also features an abundance of Namekians! One prime example is Granolah's adoptive father, Monaito, who appears in the "Granolah the Survivor" arc, which is currently ongoing in V Jump.

We've got another big article in the works highlighting Monaito and the other Namekians from "Dragon Ball Super", so be on the lookout for the next edition of the Namek Editorial!
