Dabura Character Facts

Dabura's appearance greatly resembles the most famous appearance of Satan, in terms of his red skin, goatee, horns, large pointed ears, and his animalistic yellow eyes. However, there are multiple changes from this iconic appearance. Dabura wears a light blue suit, covering his entire body minus his muscular chest, also wearing a white spiked cape and a circular belt, also sporting white boots. Dabura's personality, while very sadistic in terms of his battle strategies and methods of disposing of enemies, is also very sophisticated and well-mannered, speaking in a very detailed fashion, often complementing the talents of his opponents, with his deep, booming voice. When controlled by Babidi, Dabura stays incredibly loyal to his own master, but is not totally willing with every step Babidi takes, and will not be afraid to question his master's actions if they seem impractical or seen to him as a disadvantage to their plans. In filler, Dabura's personality completely changes when he enters Heaven and sees actual loving compassion from Videl for Gohan's safety back on Earth, coming to the conclusion he wishes to be loved in a similar way and make friends. 
Dabura is first seen when Vegeta, Goku, Gohan, Piccolo and Krillin are led to Babidi's spaceship by Kibito and Supreme Kai to aid them in preventing Majin Buu's awakening. Babidi and Dabura are aware of their hiding place in the mountains nearby and, as it takes a massive amount of energy to awaken Majin Buu, Babidi decides to use theirs. Dabura is ordered to kill all but Supreme Kai and the strongest three, and lure the remainder inside the ship. Dabura obeys and quickly charges the group, despite them hiding their Ki. With a single blast, he kills Kibito, still grinning while he does so. He then quickly leaps in the air and spits on Piccolo and Krillin, quickly turning them into stone, with Supreme Kai explaining the only way they can turn back is if Dabura dies. In the anime only, Goku and Vegeta charge Dabura in an attempt to stop him but they underestimate him and do not even bother to transform into Super Saiyans, and they can do nothing to keep him from fleeing as a result. Dabura then retreats back into Babidi's spaceship, telling the brave Saiyans to wander into their domain if they dare.
