pankists

Pankists are a fictional group of characters originating from the Dragon Ball franchise. They are a race of beings known for their unique physical abilities and their association with martial arts. Pankists are characterized by their robust physiques and often possess a distinctly reptilian or amphibian appearance, though variations exist. Their biology allows them to withstand significant physical damage and exert immense strength, making them formidable opponents in combat.

Within the Dragon Ball narrative, pankists are not a prominent or recurring species but have made appearances in specific arcs and filler content. They are often depicted as belonging to less advanced societies or serving as enforcers for more powerful villains. Their fighting style typically involves brute force and direct physical attacks, rather than sophisticated ki-based techniques, though some individuals may exhibit latent ki abilities. The culture and societal structure of pankists are rarely explored in detail, with their primary role being that of adversaries to the main protagonists. Their presence serves to showcase the diverse array of alien life forms populating the Dragon Ball universe and to provide challenges for the heroes to overcome through their martial prowess.
