Flying Nimbus may not be a traditional character in the perfect sense, but the little golden cloud is precious to most people who watch Dragon Ball or Dragon Ball Z.

The Flying Nimbus makes an appearance shortly in the series as it’s a present from Master Roshi to Goku for helping out Turtle. Good thing Master Roshi was getting rid of it because of his terrible habits, he was no longer qualified to ride it, lol.

And neither is Bulma, hilariously. But Goku sure is, giving him the ability to fly long before he possessed the power to do so on his own.

His future wife Chi-Chi was also one of the few characters that could ride it.

Tambourine destroys the original Flying Nimbus but eventually Goku gets another one that looks just like it.
