Within the tumultuous conflicts that have shaped the narrative of the Dragon Ball saga, a trail of destruction has left many races extinct. The relentless battles waged by the most potent warriors across Universe 7 and beyond have led to catastrophic events, annihilating entire civilizations and rendering once-powerful races obsolete.

This recurring theme of extinction, whether through defeat, oppression, or brutal massacres akin to the Saiyans' fate on Planet Vegeta, has left some races on the brink of oblivion. While remnants of these races may linger, their genetic purity has been lost, signaling the functional extinction of their species. Here are some of the races in Dragon Ball that, despite their past might, have faded into obscurity.

1 Triclops

A Mysterious Race with Extraordinary Abilities

While never fully explored in Dragon Ball, the Triclops race is exemplified through the character of Tien Shinhan, a hybrid descendant. These beings, characterized by a unique third eye on their forehead, possess remarkable powers such as growing extra arms temporarily and creating duplicates of themselves. Their independent eye movement grants them enhanced vision capabilities, hinting at their formidable nature.

2 Tuffles

Builders of a Technologically Advanced Society Beyond Saiyan Reach

The Tuffles, a humanoid race from Planet Plant, thrived on advanced technology and tranquility, contrasting the warlike Saiyans. Coexisting uneasily with their aggressive counterparts, the Tuffles eventually succumbed to Saiyan savagery when the Great Ape transformation turned the tide. Despite their extinction, Tuffle experiments endured, notably manifesting in Baby, a parasitic entity infused with royal Tuffle essence.

3 Cerealians

Expert Marksmen with Enhanced Vision Skills

The Cerealians of planet Cereal, distinguished by their green hair and red right eye, closely resembled Earthlings. Known for their extended lifespans and sniper-like precision enabled by their Evolved Right Eyes, the Cerealians fell victim to the destructive force of the Frieza Force and Saiyan Army. Granolah, the sole survivor of the Cerealian race, stood as a poignant testament to their tragic end.
