Personality[edit | edit source]
According to Grand Elder Guru, Katas was a genius and a caring parent. He was a good-hearted Namekian like others of his race, though his son developed a dual nature—partly evil—due to exposure to Earth's corrupt humans, which ultimately led to his division into Kami (good) and King Piccolo (evil).
Biography[edit | edit source]
Katas lived on Namek before Age 242 and was part of the Dragon Clan. During this time, Namekians had advanced technological knowledge, including space travel. Around Age 242, Katas birthed a son, who would later be sent to Earth. In Age 261, Namek experienced a catastrophic climate shift. Katas saved his son by sending him to Earth in a Namekian spaceship, but he perished along with nearly all other Namekians. Guru survived and eventually restored the Namekian population.
