The Nameks are peaceful tribe that live on Planet Namek. Their skin pigment is green and the also have the ability to communicate telepathicly. One of the unique features that the Nameks posses is the ability to only live of water. They do not need any other type of nutrition to survive. The Nameks spend most of their lifes planting and growing trees that got destroyed a while back. The Nameks have the ability to fuse together to form a more powerful fighter. One of the drawbacks of this is that once fused, they can not seperate into two fighters.
The Nameks seldomely use the fusion technique since they do not have many natural enemies that attack them. The only threat that they once faced was Furiza, who eventually blew up their home planet. The cause of Furiza's attack was the greed of possesing the Dragonballs that the Namkes created. The Nameks can also regenerate (or regrow) their body parts if they are destroyed. Piccolo and Kame-sama are the only two Nameks known to live on earth. The Namkes are the only ones that have the ability to create the Dragonballs. The last interesting fact about the Nameks is that they are all male. The reproduce by spitting out eggs, which then grown into the Namek.
