Dodoria

Dodoria (ドドリア, Dodoria) is a character in Dragonball Z.

Appearance
Dodoria is a large, round alien warrior and appears be overweight by human standards. He has protruding spikes on his arms and head. He also wears the same armor as most of Lord Frieza's men, including the shoulder pads and a green scouter.

Storyline
Before the events of Dragon Ball Z, Dodoria was always by Frieza's side along with Zarbon. He witnessed the killing of King Vegeta and the destruction of Planet Vegeta. Before the destruction, he and a group of his elites were sent to eradicate Bardock and his team of fighters. He was successful in killing most of the team, but he left Bardock alive after using a powerful mouth blast on him. Both Frieza and Zarbon looked down upon him for carelessly leaving him alive.

Dodoria accompanied his master, Frieza, and his comrade in battle, Zarbon, to the green Planet Namek in search of the Namek Dragonballs. While searching in a village for a Dragonball, Dodoria killed a few villagers, but before he could kill Dende, he was attacked by Krillin and Gohan. He pursued them, but they escaped after Krillin used a blinding attack called Solar Flare. Dodoria then launched an attack over a large area, which led him to believe that he had killed them.

On his way back, he was ambushed by Vegeta, who easily overpowered him. Dodoria tried to bargain with him  by telling him the secret of the destruction of Planet Vegeta, but Vegeta did not care. Vegeta killed him during his attempted escape. He has cameos afterward during the movie Fusion Reborn and in the Super Android 17 Saga when people from Hell are able to escape. He is killed again both times. In addition, he also loses his scouter while he searches for Vegeta.

Abilities
Dodoria uses his brute force to overwhelm his opponents. He has the generic powers that many other Dragon Ball characters share, including the ability to throw numerous exceptionally-powerful rapid blasts. He can also emit blasts from his mouth as well, which are most commonly known as mouth blasts. Dodoria's most noticeable trait is his ability to throw his weight around. He is extremely fast in spite of his weight. He can perform multiple spins and aerial strikes regardless of his size.

Video game appearances
Dodoria has appeared as a playable character in many video games, some of which include Dragon Ball Z: Budokai, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi, and Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2. He is also in Dragon Ball Z: Super Sonic Warriors 2 but only as a support-type character.
