Yakon is a monster from Dragon Ball Z who serves as one of Babidi's most formidable followers. He hails from Dark Star, a perpetually dark planet that gave him natural night vision—a useful trait in Babidi's shadowy operations. Though his exact background is murky, the Supreme Kai considers him one of the universe's most feared creatures and genuinely powerful in his corner of space.
What really stands out about Yakon is his personality: he's basically a ravenous beast with no off switch. When he first encounters the Z Fighters, he's already devoured two messengers Babidi sent his way minutes earlier, yet he immediately asks which fighter he should eat first. His appetite apparently knows no limits.
Power-wise, he clocks in at 800 Kili—a measurement separate from the standard power levels you'd see on a scouter. That sounds impressive until you realize Goku as a Super Saiyan hits 3,000 Kili, making Yakon significantly outmatched. Still, Dabiri seemed hesitant about sending him to level 2, suggesting Babidi had him positioned as a level 3 threat, meaning he was hardly a pushover.
Yakon's got a distinctive physical design too: large, retractable claws built into each forearm, giving him some serious melee damage potential.
