Background / History

Planet conquest and exile

Paragus formerly worked under Cooler's Armored Squadron as a fighter conquering planets. He describes the Saiyans' occupation as taking inhabited planets and selling them to buyers who needed a living world 262.

His wife died when Broly was born. According to Broly's account, King Vegeta considered the infant's exceptional potential a threat and exiled him to Vampa. Paragus followed his son, but his spaceship broke down, stranding them both on the monster-filled planet 561.

The pair survived on Vampa Spiders, whose extremely unpleasant taste became a lasting grievance for Paragus. He blamed King Vegeta for their suffering and retained a desire for revenge even after their living conditions improved 26 382 527.

Life during Broly's otherworld journeys

Broly's first documented return from another world brought Paragus both relief and unfamiliar food, including a Pork Cutlet Rice Bowl. Their reunion also involved Broly beating him up—a recurring feature of their interactions 25.

As their food purchases depleted Broly's Happiness Points, Paragus recommended investing in Mobile Charging upgrades rather than relying on the Crystal Palace's five-year natural recharge. During the ensuing charging period, he began weaving Ba Ya Beast fur into clothes for his son and advised him to retreat from overwhelmingly powerful enemies 26.

He subsequently remained on Vampa while Broly traveled, hearing accounts of his adventures on each return. When Broly introduced the possibility of a Cross-World Teleportation Gate, Paragus immediately hoped it might offer a way off the planet 114 237 262 315.

Lord Slug's arrival

When Lord Slug's legion reached Vampa, Paragus welcomed its members with spider-leg soup and questioned them about the outside universe. Hearing that Planet Vegeta had been destroyed, he celebrated because King Vegeta could no longer escape the consequences he wished upon him, though he regretted losing the chance for personal revenge 527.

The legion's plan to convert Vampa into a spaceship threatened the Ba Ya Beasts by depriving them of sunlight. Paragus, who had become attached to the creatures through tending their fur, questioned whether their deaths were an unavoidable cost of the conversion 527.

During Broly's confrontation with Slug, the tyrant ordered Angila, Medamatcha, and Dorodabo to kill Paragus. The officers deliberately held back, allowing him to fight them on even terms while Broly defeated Slug. After Broly became king, Paragus defended ordinary soldiers' right to pause their work and enjoy Vampa's night sky 528 529.

Appearance

• Described as a middle-aged Saiyan, despite Broly's habitual references to him as his “Old Man” 524.
• Years of isolation leave him dressed like a savage when he meets Lord Slug's officers 527.
• Broly's beatings sometimes leave his face visibly swollen 315.

Personality

Paragus retains traditional Saiyan attitudes toward conquest, strength, and violence. He initially finds Broly's work escorting children home and relieving drought decidedly un-Saiyan. Much later, he still sees planetary raiding as an ordinary occupation and offers to handle it himself when Broly refuses to become a bandit 114 632.

His affection develops through everyday exchanges rather than replacing those beliefs. Broly sharing half a meal makes him reflect on how unusual generosity between Saiyan relatives is, and he feels fortunate that his son did not simply adopt a conventional Saiyan upbringing. He expresses care through clothing, meals, practical advice, and concern for Broly's safety; he also begins missing his deceased wife 26 262 430.
