Turles

Turles is a Saiyan who was once a member of the Saiyan Army under the Frieza Force until he went rogue and ventured off into the cosmos where he conquered planets for himself alongside his group of henchmen known as the Turles Crusher Corps.

At some point he learned of the Fruit of the Tree of Might, a holy fruit from the Tree of Might that requires the energy of a whole planet to produce and is normally reserved for divine beings and gods.

Appearance: Aside from a slightly darker skin tone and retaining his Saiyan tail, Turles looks exactly the same as Kakarot (Goku) does, even virtually identical height and build. It is stated that the reason why Turles and Kakarot look alike is that the facial patterns of each warrior are similar within the low-rank Saiyans. Turles says that he looks like Kakarot because they are low-class and because the low-class don't have many distinct physical looks. Turles wears gray and black Battle Armor. His scouter has a red lense and he has a white cape.

Personality: Turles is shown to be a merciless, prideful and confident individual. His cruel treatment of Gohan proves that he cares little to nothing for others, shown again when he casually dismisses the deaths of his loyal subordinates at the hands of Goku. As such, his lack of empathy was such that, when Goku accuses Turles of not knowing the difference between good and evil, Turles reveals he has a firm grasp on what good and evil is, yet he doesn't even care about it.

His main objective is to conquer the universe, though he plans on doing so by using his Tree of Might, even if it means killing billions of innocent people in the process. He also seems to find pleasure in seeing others suffer. Turles' heart is essentially a "ball of pure evil" which makes sense as he is essentially Goku's polar opposite as Goku is known to possess a heart that is pure good. It also makes sense as Turles understands the difference between good and evil yet chooses to do evil.

Turles appears to have some modicum of respect for his fellow Saiyans, with his even implying that, once he establishes the Turles Crusher Corps HQ at the Frieza Race's homeworld upon exterminating them, he would rebuild the Saiyan civilization there.

According to Nappa, Raditz and Vegeta, he was a low-class warrior and troublemaker who never learned to follow orders, which apparently led him to desert the Saiyan Army during some secret mission as Raditz and Nappa attribute his survival to being away during that mission and apparently its secrecy, as well as the Genocide of the Saiyans, prevented Turles' desertion from being discovered as Raditz and Nappa believe he still hadn't completed it unaware he had deserted the Saiyan Army to form his own rival organization and planned to one day overthrow Frieza and possibly the Saiyan Royal Family before the Genocide of the Saiyans made it a moot point. Given his desire to overthrow Frieza, he may be aware of his role in Planet Vegeta's destruction or at least suspected it as Vegeta did. Turles retains notable pride in his Saiyan heritage, not unlike Prince Vegeta and Raditz. This may explain his disgust towards strong warriors (especially Saiyans) who show compassion towards those weaker than themselves, a belief that was common among the Universe 7 Saiyans during the reign of King Vegeta.

Turles' deep beliefs in the power of evil present the idea that all Saiyans are inherently evil in nature.

Additionally he is shown to potentially view any Saiyan or powerful warrior he encounters as a potential underling or partner.

He seems to hate Frieza and his race, the latter to genocidal levels, as it was implied that part of the reason why he and his Turles Crusher Corps tried to plant the Tree of Might and eat it was so they could challenge Frieza in a fight and defeat him.

Additionally despite his evil and violent Saiyan nature, he does possess a certain among of calmness and restraint even refusing to utilize his Great Ape form due to his inability to control himself despite the form's power and approaches situations more methodically.

Turles prefers to utilize the Tree of Might and its Fruit as a shortcut to increasing power and is willing to destroy as many planets as it takes to grow the Tree of Might in order to gain its strength enhancing fruit.

Abilities: Flight - He can use ki to fly.

Finger Beam – The user holds out their index finger and releases an energy beam from their fingertip.

Kill Driver – Turles forms a ring of energy with electricity sparking around it between his palms and throws it at his target.

Sudden Storm – Turles releases a rapid barrage of homing purple ki blasts from his right hand at his opponent, causing a massive accumulation of damage.

Force Explosion – Turles lifts his right arm in the air and forms the Ki Blast in the palm of his hand. he then throws the projectile that results in a violent explosion once it comes into contact with anything.

Terror Conduct – First, Turles punches the opponent, followed by a knee strike into the air. Then, he knocks the opponent to the ground, followed by a Sudden Storm, inflicting a massive amount of damage.

Meteor Burst – Turles shouts "I'm done with you!", and charges at the opponent to knee them up into the air. He then flies up to punch the opponent away and teleports above to kick them down to the ground. Just before the opponent hits the ground, he charges down and knees them in the stomach and Double Axe Handles them into the ground. Finally, Turles stomps on the opponent's head and shouts "Die!" as he blasts them with a single purple Energy Wave or a barrage of energy waves that, upon hitting anyone or anything, causes a second larger wave of purple energy to erupt from the target or a large purple explosion, inflicting a huge amount of damage.

Rock Crusher – First, Turles ducks down to avoid any attacks by the enemy, then he counterattacks with a powerful knee strike. The attack usually sends the opponent flying away.

Calamity Blaster – First, Turles charges an energy sphere with both hands behind his neck. Then, he thrusts his hands forward and fires a white and purple energy wave, inflicting a high amount of damage.

Like all Saiyans with a tail, Turles can transform into a Great Ape at the sight of a full moon (or similar sources).

After eating fruit from the Tree of Might Turles' power increases greatly. His body also immediately increases in muscle mass considerably, while likewise proportionally increasing his height to cause no reduction on his speed or agility. It increases his power by 15 times.

The Tree of Might is a tree that grows the fruit of the Tree of Might. The fruit is a light orange color and looks similar to that of the durian and lychee fruits. It is spawned by the Tree of Might after enough energy and life force is absorbed through the tree's roots, but like a regular plant, it needs a suitable atmosphere to survive (such as Earth's or Namek's). As such, large amounts of energy are required to supply the fruit's growth and the tree essentially sucks the life out of the planet the seed was planted on. Despite all this, the Tree of Might is not truly evil but simply requires such a massive amount of energy to grow. Few, if any planets can sustain it without dying. This fruit gives whoever consumes it a massive power increase, and squeezed fruit from the Tree of Might would make a powerful energy drink.

Turles Crusher Corps is a mercenary platoon who works closely under Turles, a low-class Saiyan pirate and former member of the Saiyan Army who bears a resemblance to Goku. The group sends a device to Earth, which catapults into a forest and causes a fire that completely destroys the area. The members of the Turles Crusher Corps were all recruited by Turles on different planets. They are all quite strong; stronger than the average Dragon Team member. The goal of the Turles Crusher Corps is to find a planet to grow the Tree of Might, in order to produce the fruit of the Tree of Might. This fruit gives the person who eats it unimaginable power. The Crusher Corps wants to use this fruit to become the most powerful group of warriors in the universe. Some of their dialogue implies that their reasons for wanting to plant the Tree of Might are also out of a desire to defeat Frieza; Lakasei mentions that by eating the fruit they will be strong enough to defeat Frieza. Eating three fruits of the Tree of Might within a short time span is self-destructive to the body, greatly hurting and weakening the one who consumed the fruit. (Not Turles as much.)

A Scouter is a wearable, all-purpose computer that Frieza's army uses. He knows about the legend of the Super Saiyan, but can't use it. Scouters are mainly used to measure power levels.
