Neva

is an elderly Namekian inhabiting the Demon Realm's Namek, as well as the creator and guardian of the Demon Realm Dragon Balls. He is the last one of his kind who remains there due to the role he fulfills and is regarded as the legendary Namekian.
==Concept and creation==
Neva's name appears to come from the Japanese term "neba neba", which is used to describe foods that are "sticky" or "slimy". This ties into Namekians' slug-themed name puns due to slugs having a slimy texture.
==Appearance==
Neva shares his appearance with most other elder Namekians such as Monaito and carries a staff.
==Personality==
Neva is, as described by Gomah, a bit senile, but knowledgeable about the Dragon Balls. He is forgetful about various things, such as when he forgot his toothbrush on the ride to the outer world, as well as the last time he showered, which he recalls was when he tripped in mud years ago. Due to his age and forgetfulness, Neva needs to be constantly reminded of orders or instructions given to him as shown when Gomah and Degesu have to constantly reaffirm the nature of their travel and the overall plan of using the Earth's Dragon Balls. 
Despite this, Neva does get serious when demonstrating his various abilities and performs them with excellent proficiency. He also gets particularly excited at the opportunity to meet other Namekians as according to him, he hasn't seen a fellow Namekian for over a thousand years. He has no issue working with Gomah and Degesu to act in the Demon King's interest for the exchange of living another 1,000 years. Nor does he object to Dende being struck or kidnapped, despite being quite happy to hear there were other Namekians beyond him.
==Biography==
===Background===
Neva created the Dragon Balls of the Demon Realm, in addition to three terrifying beings known as Tamagamis who protects them from evil people. Because of their strength, no one in the Demon Realm would be able to have a wish granted for a long time.Dragon Ball Daima episode 11, "Legend" He is regarded as a legendary Namekian who stayed behind in the Demon Realm to protect the Dragon Balls there while the rest left for a new world due to not liking being ruled over.Dragon Ball Daima episode 2, "Glorio"
===Dragon Ball Daima===
====Daima Saga====
Neva is chosen by Gomah and Degesu to go to the outer world in order to use the Earth's Dragon Balls due to them being easier to obtain than the Demon Realm's set. Neva approaches the travel pod in a rather slow place, making Gomah frustrated and pleading him to walk faster. Neva then compliments Tamagami Number One for its continuous duties to which he receives a bow from the being. As Neva boards the pod, Gomah gets initially squished before complaining about Neva's body odor - to which the elder Namekian responds that the last time he took a bath was a long time ago when he fell into mud. This causes Gomah to quickly switch places with Degesu for the remainder of the trip. As the ship takes off, Neva requests to turn around as he accidentally forgot his toothbrush, but Gomah reassured him that they will be back in an instant as they have "some business" with a "younger Namekian", to which Neva gets excited with the opportunity to reconnect with someone from his race in thousands of years. 
After reaching Earth, Neva joyfully meets Dende but is quickly put to work from Gomah who first instructs him to gather the Dragon Balls at the Lookout after anticipating that Dende wouldn't be capable of such a feat. Neva scans the Earth and concludes that they seem to be inactive as they were recently used. In response, Neva raises his left arm in the air and scatters his ki across the planet and gathers the orbs to the designated spot. He then proceeds to restores the balls wish-granting powers before the necessary cooldown year has passed, something Degesu points out and leaves Dende utterly shocked. He then watches with a smirk as Degesu summons Shenron and Gomah asking his first wish. However, when Shenron reveals that first timers only get one wish instead of three, annoyed Gomah asks Neva to gather the Demon Realm Dragon Balls, only to be reminded that he has to defeat Tamagami first. Gomah then asks about the ritual, but Neva states he can't perform it twice in a row. They then decide to return to Demon Realm with a mini Dende as a hostage and to prevent the Dragon Team from using their Dragon Balls.
When Goku's group prepare to leave Namek,Dragon Ball Daima episode 10, "Ocean" Neva appears before them acting senile when he sees a Dragon Ball in their possession. However, Piccolo, who reminds Neva of Katas, sees through his act and questions Neva's actions on Earth. Neva states he was following Gomah's orders and knew that Dende would be taken but not killed due to being too valuable. He then questions Goku's group reason for gathering the Dragon Balls and learn it's to undo Gomah's wish. Neva decides to join them since none of them can speak the Namekian language to use the wish orbs, including Piccolo who has since forgotten it due to being on Earth too long.
==Power==
Given his advanced age and forgetfulness, it can be assumed Neva does not have a particularly high battle power or combat ability. His main strength lies in his tremendous affinity for magic. He created the Demon Realm's Dragon Balls and is capable of manipulating any Dragon Balls to a level far beyond what's been shown of other Namekians, demonstrated when he gathered the Earth's Dragon Balls despite being turned to stone and returning them to their original state even when the necessary time window had not passed. Perhaps his greatest feat of magic power is creating the Tamagamis, warriors of tremendous might that defend the Demon Realm's Dragon Balls and are strong enough that no one has ever gathered the Dragon Balls to make a wish.
