Classification: Saiyan

Powers and Abilities:

Attack Potency: Planet level (Fought all the Z fighters simultaneously and singlehandedly defeated them with minimal effort, who were by that point superior to Raditz. Knocked down Piccolo with one elbow strike. After calming down and focusing his energy, he gave Goku a more even fight before he used the Kaioken, with Vegeta stating that Goku isn't an unbeatable opponent if Nappa keeps his focus^{[21][Statistics Values 1]}), Large Planet level as a Ōzaru (10 times stronger than base form^{[Statistics Values 2]})

Speed: At least Relativistic+ combat speed (Blitzed Tien Shinhan with minimal effort. Easily dodged Piccolo's and Krillin's blasts^{[Statistics Values 3]}), higher as a Ōzaru.

Lifting Strength: Unknown

Striking Strength: Planet level, Large Planet level as a Ōzaru (10 times stronger than base form)

Durability: Planet level (Took no damage from Chiaotzu's self-destruction, and only took minimal damage from Tien's suicide Kikōhō. Managed to deflect Gohan's full-power Masenko with only a numb arm. Took nearly all of Goku's attacks head-on without much damage, and, after recovering his calm, Goku stated it'd take "all day" for the fight to be concluded and complimented his toughness), Large Planet level as an Ōzaru

Stamina: Superhuman (Nappa was able to take down the whole Z cast for hours on end and then go toe to toe against Goku before he got crippled from his Kaioken attack)

Range: Standard Melee Range; Planetary with ki blasts and attacks.

Standard Equipment: His Scouter, Saiyan armour, and a container that has six Saibamen seeds.

Intelligence: Average in general, Gifted in combat (Although somewhat unwise at times due to his destructive personality, Nappa is a skilled combatant. He holds the rank of an Elite Saiyan Warrior, having been a general of the Saiyan Army before continuing to serve under Frieza as a soldier)

Weaknesses: Nappa is overconfident and prone to blind rage if he finds himself losing a fight, needs to see a full moon in order to transform and can't survive in the vacuum of space, planting the Saibamen seeds can leave him wide open.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Bomber DX (デラックス・ボンバー, Derakkusu Bonbā^?): Nappa charges up a potent wave of ki and fires it with one hand. Most notably used to kill Piccolo.
• Break Cannon (ブレイク砲ほう, Bureiku Hō^?): Nappa can fire an immense blue beam of energy from his mouth.
• Ōzaru (大猿おおざる, Ōzaru^?): A transformation into a giant ape that takes place under a full moon. Increases his speed, strength and hearing. He's never turned into a Ōzaru before, but since he has a tail he likely can.
• Shock Wave: Nappa powers up energy and raises two fingers in the air to create a large explosion around him. He used this attack to destroy East City when he first arrived on Earth with Vegeta which is powerful enough to be seen from space.
