The Demon Clan (魔（ま）族（ぞく）, Mazoku), alternatively referred to as Evil Tribes, refer to several groups of evil aliens that appear in the Dragon Ball series. To be a Demon Clansman, you must have a heart of pure evil, and Demon Clansmen possess certain properties that their race does not normally have—notably Piccolo (Senior) and his offspring possessed abilities that other Nameccians did not, such as the ability to completely destroy a Kintoun and stop people's spirits from going to the afterlife by forcing them to remain dwelling in the living realm, spending eternity in a state of limbo, unable to rest in peace. Piccolo Daimaio was also able to birth mutant offspring, and Slug and his clan were shown to have developed a weakness to sunlight. However, if someone loses their pure evil attribute, they will cease to be a Demon Clansman, as displayed by Piccolo—who loses his Demon Clan status by the time of the battle with Raditz.

History

Early War with Piccolo

Roughly 300 years before the events of Dragon Ball, a nameless Nameccian, who escaped from a cataclysmic event on Planet Namekku, came to the Earth. He eventually found the God of Earth and studied under him to succeed him. However, the current God at that time sensed that the Nameccian's innocent heart had been tainted by the sins of humanity, and would not allow him to claim the throne until all of that evil was expelled. In Age 461, the nameless Nameccian used a technique called fission, which would expel the evil within him. However, the evil that was expelled manifested itself into a being that would be known as Piccolo Daimaio. The nameless Nameccian, who now called himself God, could only watch as Piccolo Daimaio began a reign of terror over the Earth that would result in the deaths of thousands of people, due to them both sharing a single life line.
