Summary

Turles (ターレス Tāresu) is a Saiyan and a space pirate who deserted the Saiyan Army and escaped the extinction of his race, striking out on his own with his own ragtag group of pirates to conquer planets for himself using the Tree of Might. He bears an uncanny resemblance to Goku.

Powers and Stats

Tier: High 4-C, higher after eating a fruit from the Tree of Might, even higher as a Great Ape

Name: Turles, Tullece

Origin: Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might

Age: Over 26 years old (Older than Goku)

Gender: Male

Classification: Saiyan

Powers and Abilities:

Attack Potency: Large Star level (Defeated Piccolo with relative ease,^[1] who's as strong^[16] as Saiyan Saga Vegeta. Believed that Great Ape Gohan was no match for him and would have killed him had Goku not intervened^{[1][Note 1]}), higher after eating a fruit from the Tree of Might (Effortlessly stomped Kaio-ken x10 Goku.^[1] The Turles Corps asserted that consuming the fruit would render even Frieza easy to handle^{[1][Note 2]}), even higher as a Great Ape (Multiplies his power tenfold^{[8][Note 3]})

Speed: FTL (Overwhelmed Piccolo. Could evade Goku's attacks^{[1][Note 4]}), at least FTL+ after eating a fruit from the Tree of Might (Much faster than before, to the point of disappearing from Kaio-ken x10 Goku's view^{[1][Note 5]}), higher as a Great Ape

Lifting Strength: At least Class P, likely far higher (Far superior to an enraged Kid Gohan, who resisted the gravitational pull of the Dead Zone^[17])

Striking Strength: Large Star level, higher after eating a fruit from the Tree of Might (Knocked Goku out of Kaio-ken x10 with just one strike^[1]), even higher as a Great Ape

Durability: Large Star level (Blocked Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon with the palm of his hand, saying that it only "hurt a little bit"^[1]), higher after eating a fruit from the Tree of Might, even higher as a Great Ape

Stamina: Superhuman (Shows very little to no signs of fatigue after creating an artificial moon, a feat proven to be highly taxing^[7] even for the likes of Vegeta, with a slight glisten of sweat as the lone indicator of effort^[1])

Range: Standard Melee Range; Interplanetary with ki blasts and attacks (Far superior to King Vegeta, who notably destroyed three planets with a single blast^[18])

Standard Equipment:

• Scouter: A wearable piece of equipment commonly used by Frieza Force members. Aside from being able to communicate with fellow scouter users as far as deep outer space,^[10][11] it is primarily known for the ability to detect the power levels of others, including individuals outside of its wearer's line of sight.^[1] It also provides a great degree of accuracy, pinpointing the location, distance, and velocity of those it detects.^[12][13][6]
• Battle Armour: Combat attire commonly worn by Frieza Force members. It boasts advanced flexibility that allows it to be stretched to the wearer's liking, while also having the durability to account for drastic size alterations. As a result, Saiyans like Turles can transform into an Oozaru without having to worry about damaging their armour.^[14]
• Seed of Might: A seed that when planted on a planet with enough energy and suitable atmosphere, grows the Tree of Might. The tree drains the life force of whatever planet it is grown on, spawning fruit that uses the energy.^[1]
  • Fruit of the Tree of Might: Orange coloured fruit stored with large amounts of a planet's energy. When being consumed, it grants the user an incredible boost in power. With just a single bite, Turles easily stomped Goku using Kaio-ken x10.^[1] Extracts from the fruit can also be used to revive the dead using just their fossils, though this is a process requiring a second party and cannot be used as a means for someone to prevent their own death.^[15]
• Spaceship: A vessel used by Turles and pirate underlings for travelling the depths of space.^[1]

Intelligence: Gifted (Turles is a skilled combatant and tactical genius, as demonstrated when he forcibly turned Gohan into a Great Ape and set him loose on his own father, forcing Goku into subduing Gohan without causing him harm.^[1] Additionally, Turles has successfully cultivated the Tree of Might's seeds, reanimated two minions from the fossils of an extinct species,^[15] and crafted a planetary scanning probe^[1])

Weaknesses: Grabbing Turles' tail causes him great pain, effectively immobilizing his whole body^[19] and cutting it when Turles is a Great Ape forces him back into his normal state.^[20] Can't control himself as a Great Ape.^[1] Unable to sense Ki and relies on his scouter to provide information about an adversary's strength.^[1]

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Saiyan Physiology
• Ki Techniques

The physiology of a Saiyan, an aggressive warrior race of conquerors. Saiyans have the natural ability to control ki and to fly. In addition, while his lifespan is comparable to that of a human, Turles will remain at his peak strength for much longer. One of the most powerful abilities of a Saiyan is their ability to grow stronger and stronger through combat, allowing Turles to constantly push his own limits during a fight and rise to higher and higher peaks in power. This ability grants a substantial boost in power when Turles is badly injured, allowing him to reach a whole new level of power once he recovers.

• Great Ape: When exposed to the light of the full moon, as long as he still has his tail, Turles will undergo a transformation into the Oozaru, a massive, gigantic monkey with far greater power. However, this comes at the expense of his skill, turning him into a violent, mindless monster.

Great Ape Goku

Great Ape Vegeta

Great Ape Gohan

The fighting power and life force of a martial artist, a tangible energy derived from the user's vigor, courage, and mind. It can be used in several ways, such as to surpass the limits of one's body to greatly increase in strength, and it can be fired as blasts of energy or used to create defensive barriers. Along with his Saiyan blood, Ki acts as the source of Turles' incredible power and abilities.

• Force Explosion: Turles hurls a Ki Blast that results in a violent explosion on contact.
• Kill Driver: Turles forms a ring of energy with electricity sparking around it between his palms and throws it at his target. One downside of using this technique is that the middle part of the ring is empty, meaning that small targets could just slip past the hollow center and be unharmed by the attack.
• Sudden Storm: Turles releases a rapid barrage of homing purple ki blasts at his opponent.
• Calamity Blaster: Turles gathers energy with both hands behind his neck, then thrusts them forward, releasing a white and purple energy wave.
• Power Ball: An energy sphere that mimics the presence of a full moon, created from the Blutz Waves that trigger a Saiyan's transformation into an Oozaru.
