~ King Gurumes moments before mutating into a gigantic monster.

King Gurumes is the main antagonist of the 1986 Dragon Ball film Dragon Ball: Curse of the Blood Rubies.

He is the king of the Land of Gurumes who leads his own army named the Gurumes Army, composed of Raven and Bongo. Earlier before the events of the film, he was a normal man, but later turned into an obese monster with a virtually unsated appetite due to the Blood Rubies he harbored from the deposits beneath his country.

Appearance[]

Prior to his mutation into an obese monster, Gurumes was simply an ugly bald headed man.

After his mutation, he is way larger than before and takes on a more monstrous appearance rather than that of a man with purple skin and mismatched sized eyes.

Personality[]

Gurumes is shown to be a poor king consumed by greed for the Blood Rubies and is willing to fulfill his unsatisafable appetite by obtaining a greater amount of these.

Biography[]

Background[]

King Gurumes was the king of his own land, the Land of Gurumes. After discovering the Blood Rubies harbored by his deposits beneath the country, he transformed into an obese monstrosity with an never-ending appetite, leading to his actions becoming corrupt in nature, as he continues to order excavation of the blood rubies to fund a plethora of the world's greatest cuisines, desperate to cure his painful hunger. He eventually realizes that Shenron, the eternal dragon that comes from the Dragon Balls, has the power to wish his hunger away, which could cure the pain he has due to the constant hunger.

Dragon Ball: Curse of the Blood Rubies[]

Gurumes is first seen inside his castle with four Dragon Balls in his possession, he orders his top henchmen, Raven and Bongo, to steal Goku's Four-Star Dragon Ball without him knowing and replace it with decent payment. However, Goku and Bulma, a passionate hunter of the artifacts, spot their airplane and seek out the two minions. The two later meet Penny, a girl native to the Land of Gurumes who seeks assistance from Master Roshi in order to overthrow the selfish tyrant and restore the decaying land to it's original state.

After the Dragon Team reached his castle and then his throne room, Gurumes gets up and transforms into a gigantic, purple monstrosity with mismatched sized eyes. As he transforms, he crushes Bongo, killing him in the process. Goku then fights him and fires a Kamehameha at him, but with very little to no effect as it hits him. Suddenly, the Dragon Balls inside Gurumes' stomach glows and Bulma throws the last ball inside his mouth, summoning Shenron as the ray of light explodes from his mouth, destroying the upper part of his castle. The gang then wish for Shenron to restore the decayed land to it's original state. The land then returns to it's original beautiful state as the king turns back into his human form in the process,. He comments that he is still hungry as Pansy gives him an apple, which he likes, ending his painful appetite for good. Pansy's father then tells him that due to his painful hunger and monstrous state, he almost destroyed them all while trying to find the blood rubies. The king then expresses his shame for what he has done.

Trivia[]
