Aprido (The Forgotten)

"He thinks he better than me? Well just wait, that little ape won't see what I have in store!"

- "First Glimpse"

Aprido (pronounced ah-pree-doe) is a character in Dragon Ball Z: The Forgotten. He is featured in the second saga and is introduced in the chapter "Lyin' And Laughin'".

Appearance
Aprido is a member of the same race as Appule. His skin color is a light blue, all around with dark spots (perhaps black). He wears standard Cooler armor with scouter and skirt and crotch armor attachments. He's very short and is only about as tall as Ledas. He also on occasion will use shoulder mounted weapons, to help him fight.

Personality
Aprido is a weak soldier on Planet Cooler 92 so his personality is rather vindictive and cruel. This is not necessarily his fault; as he is never treated well by his superiors. Towards the end of his life, he becomes more clingy to Banas in an attempt to regain his place on the Plantains that Ledas took from him.

History
Aprido is one of the countless soldiers under Cooler's control. How he came to be part of Cooler's legion and not Frieza's, is not clear. But nevertheless he somehow wound up on PC92. Here his life was pretty simple. His main job was to act as a protector of the outpost and be ready at all times to quell uprisings by the natives. As the Lauto Saga went on, Aprido starting

acting as a rat, following Ledas' every movement. This eventually led him to be caught by the natives and formally executed by Ledas.
