Physique

Lean Namekian — long limbs, high reach, regenerative

Lore Context

Piccolo trains in isolation under heavy gravity and heavier weighted gear. Translation: weighted-vest calisthenics, deep-range mobility, isometric holds, and high-mileage roadwork. Strength built through monastic consistency rather than brute volume.

Passive

Regeneration — recover 10% HP at the start of each turn.

Active

Special Beam Cannon — piercing single-target; cooldown 4 turns.

Patience is a weapon.

Lore Notes

Trains under weighted gear that would crush most humans flat.

Can regrow limbs — which is convenient given how often he loses them.

Was once a villain. Then he met a kid and changed careers.
