 | The lone survivor from his village on the Planet Namek, Dende was rescued by Krillin and Gohan. |
 | Unlike Piccolo and other Namekian warriors, Dende does not possess strong fighting abilities. |
 | But he does have another crucial capability: the power to heal. |
 | Dende is thus important to the good guys during the battle with Frieza. Trustworthy and caring, Dende is loyal to Guru and his fellow Namekians. |
 | Later in Dragon Ball Z, Dende replaces Kami as the guardian of the Earth. |
