Alien
There are no deficit of truly brutal villains in theDragon Balluniverse with many of them leaven to be more interesting and entertaining than the Z Fighters themselves including Frieza , Zamasu , and Moro , but there is one baddie in the series who was essentially a robot - pirateXenomorph – and it is the coolest bad guy wire in the series .
The phylogeny ofDragon Ballfrom a children ’s adventure to an action - packed violence fest was a steady modulation that happened seamlessly throughout the series . In the earliest chapters ofDragon Ball , Goku and Bulma were traveling the worldsearching for Dragon Balls so that Bulma could wish for her perfect boyfriend . However , that low-down - stakes dangerous undertaking speedily morphed into mankind - ending threat as other entities around the globe start searching for the Dragon Balls themselves once they caught wind of Bulma ’s mellow - tech Dragon Radar . One such entity was the villainous Red Ribbon Army which wanted to use the Dragon Balls to take over the world .

As far as the similarities between this android villain and theAlien ’s Xenomorph goes , this brute has a evilly deadly posterior and an elongated head that looks to be a mutate human skull brought to life . While the original Xenomorphs have a stratum of chitin that dilute over their entire fountainhead above the mouth , it is a thin , semitransparent level that vaguely reveals the empty eyes of an vacate out human skull that had become distorted and malformed upon theintroduction of the Xenomorphs biological textile . So , Dragon Ball ’s adaptation of this ‘ Xenomorph ’ is actually fairly accurate to the creature ’s original depicting . However , Dragon Ball takes it up a notch by slapping a skull and crossbones – universally recognized as a pirate ’s insignia – right on the monster ’s forehead . As if a pirate - Xenomorph was n’t enough , this Dragon Ball scoundrel is also a giant golem consummate with a machine gun for a hand , rocket - powered feet for fastness , and overall enduringness .
