History[edit]
Both normal and anthropomorphic animals existed. The two most recurring anthropomorphic animal characters were Oolong and Puar. It was not unusual to see anthropomorphic animals living alongside Humans. The most significant anthropomorphic animals included Colonel Yellow, a Tiger who was a high-ranking member of the Red Ribbon Army, Karin, a Cat deity who lived atop Karin Tower, and King Furry, a Dog who was also the king of Planet Earth. Some normal animals were also capable of speaking with Humans in their own language, such as the Dolphin who gave Son Goku and Son Chichi directions to Turtle Island in "In Search of Kame-Sen'nin".
List of animals[edit]
Bat[edit]
Bats first appeared in "The Dragon Balls are Stolen!" inside of Castle Pilaf. Fangs the Vampire has the vampiric ability to turn into a Bat.
In Dragon Ball Z, a Bat appears in "Gohan's Metamorphosis".
Bear[edit]
Bears are big furry animals who usually eat meat. The first bear seen was Bear Thief who tried to attack Goku in order to eat Kame. A faction that consisted of Bear Thieves called the Kuma Mercenary Clan (Kuma meaning "Bear" in Japanese) appeared in Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku II. At the 21st Tenkaichi Tournament, Kuririn defeated Contestant 97, a bear, in the ring. An unnamed bear working for the Red Ribbon Army is seen several times in the command room of the Red Ribbon Army Headquarters talking to Commander Red. A random bear dressed in snow wear is shown in the background with all the residents of Jingle Village when Goku departed to continue his journey. At the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament, a black bear with an English accent is shown talking to a tiger in which the tiger responded by saying that he did not understand a single thing the bear said. Another bear, the commander of the King's Guard, can speak fluently. A bear who looks almost identical to a Bear Thief is the captain of a crew of pirates in "Tien's Atonement".
Bears also appeared in Dragon Ball GT: A Hero's Legacy.
Bird[edit]
Many kinds of birds appear in the series, notably Ostrich Chickens and Chuu Lee's pet, Pippi. Pippi ran away causing Chuu Lee to wait for it. Pippi was female in the Japanese version but male in the English dub. Another unnamed bird appears in the very first episode of Dragon Ball Z. Gohan is looking at it on a log but it flies away..
Muten Roshi owned an Immortal Phoenix which was unseen during the series because the bird ironically died from being fed "tainted bird seed" prior to the events of Dragon Ball. Crows also appear in the cave Muten Roshi, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu explored while searching for the Dragon Balls during the King Piccolo Saga. The Hikui Bird is a rare and near-extinct bird that dwelled in volcanoes and appeared in the episode "The Fire-Eater".
In Dragon Ball Z, a giant eagle attacked Gohan while he was in the high plains. Birds also appear with Android 16, and a large beaked bird appears after Piccolo and Kuririn were turned into stone by Dabura.
Bison[edit]
Bison appeared in Dragon Ball: Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle and the episode "Pilaf and the Mystery Force" of the Red Ribbon Army Saga.
Boar[edit]
InoShikaCho is a strange Boar who was raised by Master Shen. Another huge wild Boar chased Chichi in "Goku's Ordeal". Finally, a Boar-like Demon named Yao appeared in Dragon Ball GT: A Hero's Legacy.
Camel[edit]
After Norimaki Arale sent Blue flying into the air, he landed in an Egypt-like land where he was seen riding on a Camel. Camels also appeared in the city where Tao forced a tailor to make a new copy of his uniform for free.
Cat[edit]
Cats (Neko in Japanese) are feline creatures who like to eat fish. Karin is a major character of the cat race. In the fillers of Dragon Ball, Commander Red has a pet cat which he frequently used to attack the Red Ribbon Army personnel entering his office to test their reflexes, such as Colonel Silver. It is also implied that any soldier who failed to effectively evade the cat (such as one soldier who allegedly lost an eye due to not reacting quick enough) was executed. Dr. Brief has a black cat named Scratch that is frequently seen on his shoulder. Mr. Popo owns a cat that looks very similar to Puar as seen in the filler episode "Quicker than Lightning".
In a spinoff parody series by Akira Toriyama called Neko Majin, Neko Majin Z, the main character, is an anthropomorchic Cat. Puar is considered by Toriyama to be a mix between a Cat and a Rabbit.
Crab[edit]
Crabs were shown to live at the Kame House, one most notably seen playing rock-paper-scissors with a young Son Gohan. A giant Crab appeared on Planet Namek in "Destination: Guru". Crabs also appear as enemies at Mount Paozu in Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku.

Both regular and anthropomorphic Dogs exist on Earth. An anthropomorphic Dog is the chairman of the World Martial Arts Tournament. The king of Earth, King Furry, is an anthropomorphic Dog as well. An example of a non-anthropomorphic Dog was Bee, the Dog that was saved and adopted by Mr. Satan and Majin Boo. The specific type of Dog Bee is would be a Labrador Retriever. Shuu was also shown to have police Dogs that were used to hunt down Goku and the others after they ruined Pilaf's wish.
A dog-like creature served as a pet for Jaguar in Dragon Ball Z: Bio-Broly.
Dolphin[edit]
A Dolphin (海豚, Iruka) appeared in "The Ox King on Fire Mountain" when Goku and Chichi were looking for directions to Turtle Island. The Dolphin told them which way to fly.

Eel[edit]
A Giant Electric Eel lived in the Pirate Cave. The creature was killed by Blue.
Fish[edit]
Fish were shown throughout the Dragon Ball series.
You are able to catch three different types of Fish in many video games: Big, Small, and Red Snappers. If you give Karin Fish in many video games, he will give you money or Holy Water in return.
A notable type of fish was Giant Fish.
Fish was Karin's favorite snack.[1]
Fox[edit]
Foxes (狐, Kitsune) have only appeared as anthropomorphic animals on Earth. Pilaf's minion, Shuu, was the most recurring character of this race. Donbe and his girlfriend, Kitsuneko, from Dr. Slump were Foxes as well. Goku met a green Fox named Konkichi while on his way to the 22nd Tenkaichi Tournament. Gohan also met two orphans who were Foxes, Jinku and Yordon.

The Great Ape form that Saiyans have is based off of this animal.
Horse[edit]
Many Horses appeared in the Dragon Ball series.
King Kress and his knights rode Horses when they escorted Goku to the Demon Realm Gate in "Goku Goes to Demon Land".

Insect[edit]
Bees, Butterflies, and Beatles are among Insects that appear in the series. During one of their training excercise in Dragon Ball, Goku and Kuririn were tied up with rope to a tree and had to dodge a swarm of Bees. A single Bee appeared on Kami's Lookout and disturbed Goku's meditation in "Quicker than Lightning". In "The Emperor's Quest", Goku caught a Centipede for dinner. During a filler scene at "Karin Tower", when Goku opened a jar, a giant Centipede came out and grabbed him. In Dragon Ball GT, giant Centipedes lived on Planet Rudeeze, a desert planet where a Black Star Dragon Ball was located by Giru in the episode "Beginning of the End".
Butterflies lived in Mister Popo's ancient Butterfly garden at Kami's Lookout as seen in "Quicker than Lightning". Butterflies were also seen on Mount Paozu in "The Secret of the Dragon Balls".

Another butterfly was seen in the Dragon Ball Z episode "The World's Strongest Team". Beetles are seen in the Dragon Ball episode "Tien Shinhan vs. Mercenary Tao". In Dragon Ball Z, Goten is also seen catching a beetle during his training period with Gohan.
North Kaio owned a Cricket pet named Gregory who only appeared in the Dragon Ball Z anime and a few movies. The sprite elder Montgomery is another Cricket of the same race as Gregory (the Sprites) who appeared in Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans. Some guards from the insectoid Arlian race were seen riding giant Worms. In Dragon Ball GT, giant Worm-like creatures named Mouma infested the asteroid Beehay.

Wolf[edit]
Wolves were a very common animal and had the same features as their real life counterparts. They frequently showed up in the series as minor obstacles for the heroes, and sometimes the villains.
