I don't remember ever seeing Piccolo eating. When everyone was training on King Kai's planet for the battle with Frieza, Piccolo just drank water.
But why do they grow cabbage like things on the planet namek? Are they food? Tristanb 05:50 11 Jul 2003 (UTC)
According to the manga, those are Ajissas (not sure about the spelling), and they grow it because their planet was beautiful and was covered with those before the cataclysm that almost made them extinct.
Nameks can eat (Piccolo is seen eating when they train for the 3 years before the first androids arrive, the fish...), but Dende says that Namekians only need (not to be confused with "can only drink") water during the Frieza saga.

Wait a minute, if the average Namekian living on Namek survives with having the abundant energy provided by three suns, and Earth only has one sun, then shouldn't Piccolo be constantely parched for energy, seeing as how he's only getting one third of the energy he would get in his naturel environment.
Has anyone noticed that in the Manga (and in the case of Piccolo) that he has three fingers on each hand and then in the Anime he has the regular four? Louisisthebest_007 11:35, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I do remember back in Dragon Ball, that when Piccolo takes over the king's castle; his henchman Piano tells the chefs to cook food for Piccolo. He names lots of odd things; I do not recall them all but it is a diet similar to that of Two-Face's "evil" side in Batman Forever (like warthog heart or so). It should be kept in mind, that he was still part of the "Family of Evil" during that incident; so it could be considered that Piccolo got used to eating as it is something common on Earth, still does not need of any aliment to survive but water.
Perhaps he eats earlier in the series because the concept of water-only as food hadn't been created yet.
I'm pretty sure they eat the Ajissa plants. Thats why they sent the one namek to earth in Dragonball. They plants were dying, but soon after sending him, they started to grow again, and eventually they just forgot about him. I'm pretty sure that's how it goes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.204.209.189 ( talk) 09:29, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
i don't agree with the part that says guru was probably not the original creator of the dragonballs on namek. whoever created them would have to still be alive otherwise the dragonballs would have turned to stone. since no one besides guru and kami have demonstrated the ability to make dragonballs, guru is the most likely person to have made them.
According to one episode of Dragon Ball Z, Dende mentions that baby Nameks come from eggs, but also says that there are no females on their planet, much to Bulma's disappointment. In other anime series, the PlayStation 2 video game Destroy All Humans!, and most American animated television series, every alien species that I have seen has alien females. -- User:Angie Y.
Also, so what if every other alien race in pop culture has females. I give props to the creater of Dragon Ball Z for being original and thinking of something new. Just because every other alien race has females doesn't mean the Nameks have to too.
Your statement makes no sence. Why would female Nameks be any harder to draw than male Nameks. Just give Piccolo some boobs, long eyelashes, and a dress and voila, you have a female Namek. Also, your sentence has realy bad grammar. I think you were trying to say, 'Is it so creative...', not 'if it is so creative...'. I sugest you stop watching Dragonball Z and start paying attention in English class.

The part about Neil being the only fighter-type Namek is wrong. What about the three that attacked Freeza's goons early on, with the power levels of 3,000? That's stronger than the average fighter, and even Saiya-jin (would have owned Raditz in a fight, Nappa and Vegeta were better but they were Super-Elite). Also before Neil confronted Freeza, a few more of his friends (who looked pretty much like the first three) attacked. Doesn't that mean there were at least 7 left alive in the warrior caste? Onikage725 17:59, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Saichourou didn't say only one left, he specifically said only one born a fighter. Even Moori (the village elder) was capable of firing off ki beams, that doesn't make him a fighter. When Vegeta arrives at the Namek village he later eradicates, the Nameks are going about day-to-day business such as farming and building houses, indicating they were unaware of the ongoing massacre. It's pretty likely those three that fought Freeza were simply from that village, especially since Moori recognizes them and they call him "sir".
Putting in more then one namek as a fighter-type would directly violate Saichourou's words. It's much more likely that the other villages they went to earlier simply didn't have any fit nameks, with some training at least, to oppose them. Kuririn and Yamcha are regualar, not fighter-type humans, but that doesn't mean that they can't fight; the same likely goes with nameks. Beowulph 15:18, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
One other thing, as I recall Dende owed his special skills to thge fact that he was a Dragon type. Now, you're claiming Piccolo to be a fighter, but he was a Dragon himself (obviously, as he created Dragon Balls). You can also tell in his original appearance. Piccolo Daimaou spawned Piccolo Ma Junior as a fighter type because his sole purpose in life was to crush Goku/conquer the world. Onikage725 19:27, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry to say but Beowulph is very much off the mark. Volume 7 of the Daizenshuu (the Japanese DBZ bible for all intents and purposes) has a complete master character list of nearly every single character in the entire manga and anime series. And in said character list, both the three Nameks who fought with Freeza's men and Dodoria, and the three who were slaughtered by Freeza himself are ALL listed as "Warrior Type" or "Soldier Type" Namekians. Here is the entries as translated by a reliable student of the Japanese language:
Namek sei-jin no Waka Mono "Young Namekians"- Three young Soldier Type Namekians who try to defend Muri's village. They each have a power of 3,000 and are, unforunately, all killed very quickly, (and violently), by Dodoria.
Senshi Taipu no Namek sei-jin "Warrior Type Namekian" - Three soldier Nameks who show up and try to defeat Freeza at the Saichourou's hut, and end up dying violently. Fuad Ramses 19:30, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Reading the article over, I think that looks good :) Onikage725 15:38, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
I added a couple of Images to the section. This is a long section, and the images are definitly needed for visualization. Pretend for a second you've never seen a Namek before, and you read that article. You'll see what I mean. KojiDude ( talk) 06:07, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Wasent the Namek that made Kami and Picollo named Kamicollo? Goku called him that once(I think) when met him after Picollo fused with Kami. -- Solid Fox 23:42, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Just siting sources for the evil sensing ability of the Namekians, list yours here if you can site a specific episode or movie and maybe when the Namekian said it or what time during the video.

Evil sensing is incorrect, as many fighters in DBZ would comment on an "evil" presence approaching. One example is the first time the Gohan and Krillin sense Frieza.
