While often associated with malevolent or "demonic" traits due to his actions and inherent evil, Garlic Jr. is officially classified as an alien within the Dragon Ball universe. He is not inherently a demon by race, but rather possesses a demonic nature.
Understanding Garlic Jr.'s Classification
Garlic Jr.'s background and characteristics are detailed, providing insight into his true classification versus his perceived nature.
Alien by Origin, Demonic by Nature
Garlic Jr. is described as a small, turquoise alien with distinct physical features, including pointy ears and green spots above his head. His eyes are typically white with small black pupils, though they are noted to sometimes glow pure red, an indication of his more demonic nature. This distinction is crucial: he is not a member of a "demon" race, but rather an alien who exhibits characteristics and a malevolent disposition that align with what is often considered demonic.
His pursuit of immortality and his tyrannical ambitions further underscore this demonic nature, despite his alien heritage. He represents a potent evil force, acting with a cruelty and ambition reminiscent of traditional demonic figures in fantasy.
To summarize his dual aspect:
| Aspect | Description |
|---|---|
| Species | Alien |
| Nature | Demonic (due to inherent evil and malevolent characteristics) |
