Giran

CHARACTER FROM: / Dragon Ball

Giran

Giran (ギラン Giran) is a Giras that entered the World Martial Arts Tournament. Although he is initially hostile against Goku and his companions, he later reforms and comes to respect Goku and even cooperates with him on more than one occasion.

Giran is a large dinosaur type beast. He resembles the Pterodactyl though is smaller in size. He also has a lone horn at the end of his snout.

Ruthless and hard-of-heart, Giran is always eager to fight, and enjoys pounding anyone foolish enough to challenge him. This enormous dinosaur-like creature is able to fly using his powerful wings. He also spits out a strange gooey substance he calls his "Merry-Go-Round Gum," which he uses to trap his opponents. Giran is something of a bully and in one episode he was shown stealing a fish from a few bears. He seems to be very self-conceited and selfish. However, he is not without kindness. Though he often seems cruel, brief glimpses of the good part of him are seen. When he is not fighting, Giran has a voracious appetite, and enjoys washing down his considerable meals with a few cold glasses of milk. However, he is wasteful and throws a half-eaten chicken drum across Competition Hall when eating with Goku at the World Tournament, which disgusts another contestant, Nam. When he meets Goku right after the tournament, he is respectful to him, because of their fight. Still, Giran seems to love tormenting people and threatening to kill them. However, the fact that he was twice revived by the Dragon Balls proves that he is not truly evil.

In battle, Giran is a very intelligent and dirty strategist. He was able to outsmart Goku multiple times throughout their duel, and surrendered when he realized how overpowering Goku was to him. And in his battle against Tambourine when he realized that Tambourine is much stronger than him, he fired his Merry-Go-Round-Gum to temporarily trap him.
