"Dandy..." He-El gently cradled the white egg the Grand Elder had expelled.
In the original story, Dandy was the 108th son of the Namekian Grand Elder. He had lived peacefully on Namek with his people, until Frieza, seeking immortality through the Dragon Balls, led an army to invade Namek. The Namekians were massacred by the Frieza Force.
When Dodoria attacked Dandy's village and hunted Dandy down, Krillin and Son Gohan arrived in time to save him, sparing him from disaster. Afterward, they became good friends.
Dandy took Krillin to meet the Grand Elder, who unlocked Krillin's potential, then Son Gohan's as well. Later, the Grand Elder unlocked Dandy's potential, allowing him to fly and heal.

With no Kami on Earth, the Dragon Balls could not be used, and Shenron could not be summoned to restore the dead to life. The Dragon Ball Warriors needed a new Kami, one capable of creating Dragon Balls to protect Earth. They thought of Dandy. Son Goku went to the planet where Namek had relocated, seeking a Namekian to become Earth's Kami, create Dragon Balls, and revive the dead.
