The wise, peace-loving, selfless, and good Guru is the eldest of all Namekians and father to all of his kind. Namekians are unisexual and are hatched from eggs. Guru is the creator of the Namekian Dragon Balls. When he passes away, the power that the Dragon Balls have to summon the Dragon, Porunga, and have wishes granted will also pass away. Because Guru is very old and sick, this is a great concern on his planet.
Using his powers, Guru brings out secret powers within Krillin and Gohan. He also bestows on Dende a powerful healing ability. Guru is guarded by Nail, a strong Namekian warrior who is trained in all the ancient Namekian fighting techniques.
