Aptiten

Aptiten is a fictional character from the *Dragon Ball* multimedia franchise, created by Akira Toriyama. Introduced in the *Dragon Ball GT* anime series, Aptiten is a small, blue, humanoid creature resembling a cross between a monkey and a cat. The character is primarily known for being a member of the "Saiyan Army," a group of Saiyans who were resurrected by the Dragon Balls in the series' alternate timeline.

Aptiten's design is distinctive, featuring a pointed tail, large ears, and a playful expression. Unlike many other Saiyans, Aptiten lacks the typical muscular build and aggressive demeanor associated with the species, instead appearing more mischievous and energetic. His name is derived from the Japanese words *apti* (meaning "monkey") and *ten* (meaning "cat"), reflecting his hybrid appearance.

In *Dragon Ball GT*, Aptiten serves as a companion to the protagonist, Goku, alongside other resurrected Saiyans such as Puar and Nappa. He plays a minor but memorable role in the series, often engaging in lighthearted interactions with the other characters. Aptiten’s inclusion in the franchise expanded the lore of the Saiyan race, introducing a more whimsical and less threatening variant.

Despite his limited screen time, Aptiten has become a fan-favorite character due to his unique design and charming personality. He has also appeared in various *Dragon Ball* merchandise, including figures, apparel, and video games. While he does not feature prominently in the manga or later anime adaptations, his presence in *Dragon Ball GT* remains a notable part of the franchise’s history.
