In a show where 99% of the names are based on plants. You didnt think of encountering a race that feeds like plants?
You can't really argue with DB anyways. In DB many things were different.I miss threads like these (especially since I was the one that usually created them if I recall correctly).
Actually, in Dragon Ball we saw Piccolo eating fish from time to time. Of course Piccolo, Kami and King Piccolo weren't Nameks at the time. It wasn't until Dragon Ball Z that we find out that all three of the previously mention characters were Nameks. But an interesting thing worth noting is that on Planet Namek, we saw numerous villages with crops.
If anything, I'd say they need to eat while they grow until they fully mature. Or they do need to eat, just very little.
There are small plants and huge trees IRL as well.Nobody said you couldn't store up too much chlorophyll. =o
well DB started as a comic anime and it further turned in to a fighting one so its normal u can see talking cats and metamorphing pigsYou can't really argue with DB anyways. In DB many things were different.
There were animals that could talk and all that stuff, and it started to disappear
when the whole thing moved towards DBZ. I think it was because Toryama was influenced by other works when he started DB.
I think they are really somewhat plant-like, using sunlight for food production.

Several readers have asked if Namekians are plants. Of course, based on their names, they seem to be slugs... but they are green, they have a strange method of reproduction, and they live on water.
Akira Toriyama:
That's a tough question. I thought of Piccolo first, and I wanted to draws him as a scary character, and it was only afterwards that I had to come up with a species. Since they have antennae, I thought they looked like slugs. So "Namekian" is a play on words, but I didn't think too deeply about it. I don't think they're plants, but they may be hermaphrodites.
Wait wait, I don't get it....what exactly did you mean by that?I just thought something. If Nameks don't eat or need to eat, then what the hell is Guru's story?
