Pu'ar is the small, floating blue cat-like creature who has served as Yamcha's closest companion since childhood and one of the most steadfast supporting characters in the Dragon Ball franchise. A graduate of the Southern Transformation Kindergarten alongside Oolong, Pu'ar mastered shapeshifting with a discipline Oolong never achieved: while Oolong was expelled and limited to five-minute transformations, Pu'ar can maintain transformed forms indefinitely and with finer detail.Pu'ar is the small, floating blue cat-like creature who has served as Yamcha's closest companion since childhood and one of the most steadfast supporting characters in the Dragon Ball franchise. A graduate of the Southern Transformation Kindergarten alongside Oolong, Pu'ar mastered shapeshifting with a discipline Oolong never achieved: while Oolong was expelled and limited to five-minute transformations, Pu'ar can maintain transformed forms indefinitely and with finer detail.

In Dragon Ball Super, Pu'ar continues to live alongside Yamcha, providing companionship and occasionally transforming for comedic effect. Her design — a round, blue body with large, expressive eyes, tiny limbs, and a cat-like face — is classic Toriyama whimsy, simultaneously cute and slightly alien. Pu'ar represents the franchise's unsung constants: the characters who do not grow stronger, who do not seek universe-shaking power, but who remain present, loyal, and essential in their quiet way....
