Panbukin, his cheek is cut by a ki blast from a Kanassan named Demetrious while battling in Oozaru form, to which he retaliates by crushing the Kanassan under his foot. Later, he tackles another Kanassan named Toolo after he hit Bardock in the back of the neck.

On Planet Meat, he is killed by Dodoria's Elite.

He can move faster than his large size indicates. He was a strongly loyal warrior, grateful to Freeza for giving them his patronage. He was the only one of the five to be wounded during the battle with the people of Planet Kanassa.

In Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru's original character design of Bardock's Team, Panbukin was drawn with a more Nappa-like structure. For example he was much taller and had a equal muscle mass. He was later changed into the "pumpkin" resembling figure he is now, for reasons that Akira Toriyama said that he wanted Saiyans to have more "distinguishing features" (Akira Toriyama drew the final draft of Bardock's team).

The physical change may also be a pun of his name. Like Bardock and Toma, Panbukin's original name given to him by Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru (パンプキン, Panpukin) was not completely changed in the final draft by Akira Toriyama
