Guldo

is the smallest and least powerful member of the Ginyu Force physically; a short, rotund green alien with four eyes (which prevents him from wearing a scouter like the other members). Though clearly the weakest member of the group, Guldo possesses some psychic abilities, including being able to stop time for as long as he can hold his breath.

Also, in the anime only, Guldo has a flashback that shows that he heavily loathes Vegeta after the Saiyan Prince insulted Guldo by telling him he suffered from bad breath. He was about to strike when Frieza interfered, asking Vegeta to help him conquer a planet and disgracing Guldo, forcing him to keep a grudge against Vegeta.

He and the other members of the Ginyu Force play a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors at Captain Ginyu's insistence to decide who gets to fight Vegeta and who gets stuck with the "trash," Gohan and Krillin. Recoome wins outright, and Guldo, as the runner-up, fights Gohan and Krillin. Their speed and strength catch him off guard however, forcing him to resort to sneak attacks and time-freezing, and finally to use the full extent of his psychic powers to mentally paralyze their bodies, rendering them helpless.

As he prepares to finish them off, however, Vegeta unexpectedly steps in and saves them by cutting off Guldo's head (in the manga this is done with a sideways chop, while in the anime Vegeta uses a ki beam). Guldo's severed head lives long enough to curse Vegeta for interfering, before the Saiyan Prince blows the head up with another blast.

Later, in an anime-only arc, Guldo attacks Chiaotzu while on King Kai's Planet, only to be easily defeated like the rest of his group. He, the other Ginyu Force members, Frieza, Super Perfect Cell, and King Cold also tortured the ogres into telling them to get out of Hell. Goku still defeats him and the other members of the Ginyu Force with one blow each. Guldo is also seen watching the final battle with Kid Buu.

Guldo also makes a small appearance in Dragon Ball GT and it shows him flying out of Hell with the other villains, shortly before being killed along with Recoome by Trunks.

Guldo's literal Japanese name is Gurudo and is a take on yōguruto (yogurt). He's called Gurd in the VIZ manga to reflect the latter pun.
