Saichourou
最長老
Guru is one of the two known survivors of a catastrophic climate shift on Namek several hundred years prior to the events in the series (the others being Kami and King Piccolo, who were once a single entity before Kami separated from his inner evil). Guru is renowned for saving the Namekian race after the climate shift by laying eggs and continuing his species. During his lifetime, he gave birth to 109 children, including his bodyguard Nail and the young Dende.
He is not given a name in the original Japanese version and is referred to only as "The Eldest".
Spoiler
It is revealed that Guru knows about the Super Saiyan legend when he asks Krillin if the Saiyan who attacked Earth (Vegeta) was a "Super Saiyan". Also, Guru regards Kami and Piccolo's original potential to be so great that only a Super Saiyan could have a chance at defeating him (after Piccolo's fusion with Nail and Kami, Krillin later states in the Imperfect Cell Saga that Kami and Piccolo's potential is even greater than that of a Super Saiyan).
Though Guru is not shown fighting in the series, he has shown a number of abilities. As a member of the Dragon Clan, his most famous ability is the power to create Dragon Balls, to which he gave powerful abilities. He has the ability to unlock someone's hidden potential by placing his hand on their head; he did this for Krillin, Gohan and Dende.
