When King Vegeta realized the power of Paragus' son, Broli, he ordered his son to be executed. Paragus tried to plead with him, stating that Broli was only a child, but his pleas fell on deaf ears and he was ordered to be executed as well. They were both thrown out into space like garbage, although they both survived.

On the same day, Freeza  destroyed Planet Vegeta, and Broli used a sphere of his own power to protect himself and Paragus, transporting them to another planet. Apparently, he knew Bardock, as he recognizes Goku as the former's son. Paragus raised Broli, and eventually had a scientist create a crown capable of restraining, and controlling Broli's rage and power, after an incident in which Broli gouged out his left eye with a single punch. He later came up with a plan to get revenge on Prince Vegeta by luring him to a ruined planet in the way of a massive comet called comet Kamori, which would destroy the planet and kill everyone on it in the process. However, the plan failed when Broli broke the crown and went berserk, attacking Goku and the others.

When Paragus attempted to escape in his escape pod, (expressing regret in regards to having to abandon Broli to his fate), Broli kills him by crushing the pod, then throwing it into the approaching comet.

Along with countless other Dragon Ball antagonists, Paragus makes a cameo appearance in the 1995 film Fusion Reborn when the residents of Hell make their escape to Earth. He also appears with dozens of other dead villains in the same film.

As well, Paragus also makes an appearance during cutscenes with Broly in Dragon Ball Z: Super Sonic Warriors 2, however, in this game he was called Baragus.
