Biography
Dragon Ball Z
Frieza Saga
Napple was among the soldiers Frieza took with him on Namek. In Moori's village, he taunts the three Warrior-type Namekians by saying they would be better off fighting old grannies. He takes part in the charge against the Namekians, only to be kicked in the face by one of the Namekian Warriors, sending him flying past where Frieza, Zarbon and Dodoria are. He crashes through a tree and becomes embedded in a cliff. Napple attacks the Namekian who Krumbo attempted to defeat, however warrior grabs him and powerfully throws Napple into the ground, causing him to smash into it and presumably killing him.[1]
Power
- Mange & Anime
Napple is presumably the strongest of Frieza's Namek village raiding group (other than Appule, Dodoria, Zarbon, and Frieza himself), however he is defeated by the Namekian Warriors who each have power levels of at least 3,000 each.
- Video games
Napple's power level is 5,800 in Gekishin Freeza (which is much higher than the Namekians who defeated him), and 1,825 in Goku Gekitōden.
