Kelran

Kelran is a fictional character from the *Dragon Ball* franchise, created by Akira Toriyama. Introduced in the *Dragon Ball GT* anime series, Kelran is a powerful warrior from the planet Plant Plant, a distant world inhabited by plant-based lifeforms. His name is derived from the words "kelp" and "plant," reflecting his origins and appearance.

Kelran first appears in the episode titled "The Legend of the Super Saiyan," where he is summoned by Goku and Trunks to aid in their battle against the Super Saiyan God Super Buu. His design features a muscular, green-skinned physique with a thick, leafy mane and a long, flowing beard, resembling a giant plant. He wields a pair of massive, vine-like arms that can be extended for combat, as well as a pair of energy-based fists capable of delivering devastating blows.

Kelran’s fighting style is heavily influenced by his plant-based nature, utilizing techniques that manipulate vegetation and energy. His signature move, the "Plant Plant Punch," involves charging his fists with energy and striking with immense force. Despite his strength, Kelran is portrayed as a humble and kind-hearted warrior, often acting as a mentor to younger characters like Goten and Pan.

Though Kelran’s role in *Dragon Ball GT* is relatively brief, he remains a memorable figure among fans of the series. His appearance and abilities reflect the creative freedom Toriyama took in expanding the *Dragon Ball* universe during the later stages of the franchise. Kelran’s design and personality have been referenced in various *Dragon Ball* media, including video games and merchandise, cementing his place in the franchise’s lore.
