Burter is a space alien and comrade of Ginyu. Nicknamed the "Blue Hurricane", he often performs combo attacks with his teammates. He is widely regarded as the fastest in the universe until later in the series. Burter is the tallest member of the Ginyu's platoon, the Live Team Alpha Five, towering over the other members. He has dark blue skin, red iris and pupil-less eyes, and many small spots over his body. He wears the usual uniform most of Frieza's army wears, but due to being a member of the Ginyu Force, has a small logo located on one of his Battle Armor plates. Like many other members of Frieza's army, he wears a scouter.
