(モロ, Moro), known as "Planet-Eater Moro" or "Moro, Consumer of Worlds" (星喰いのモロ, Hoshikui no Moro), is a powerful wizard who threatened Universe 7 about ten million years ago. He is the main antagonist of the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga.
Moro was designed by Toyotarō. He was designed with the intent of appearing as a being of pure evil who the reader could not see as ever becoming good (like King Piccolo). He was based off western demons, specifically goat-like ones. He was also based partially off the grim reaper.
"Moro" is a regional Japanese word for shark cutlet (sometimes topped with soy sauce-boiled vegetables) and is presumably his name origin. Moro's name may also be a reference to the Canaanite deity Moloch or the personification of impending doom and destruction in Greek mythology named Moros. In Japanese, Moro's name can also translate as "instruct".
Moro appears as a towering humanoid goat with blue skin and two horns on the sides of his head that curl around to point forward near his cheeks. He has long pointy ears, pronounced brow ridges, long dark nails, and brown tufts of fur on his shoulders. His snout possesses a lighter blue color with linings noticeably present on each side of his snout. He dresses in long red robes with a hood and has baggy dark pants with a fur pelt wrapped around his waist and white bandages around his wrists and ankles. After eons of imprisonment and drained of most of his power, his appearance became very elderly with a scrawny, if not malnourished, frame. He stands in a slouch with a hunchback, has deep wrinkles, and sports a long, shaggy white beard reaching his abdomen.
After absorbing all of Goku and Vegeta's energy, Moro became noticeably younger-looking with proper posture and no hump plus fewer wrinkles. He also became fairly muscular, and his beard shrunk to reach his collarbone. After taking almost all of New Namek's energy, Moro's beard shrunk to a trimmed length, and had only minor wrinkles. Once he absorbed the last bit of life energy on New Namek, Moro's beard disappeared while regaining a very youthful and well-muscled appearance.
When he has been part-way restored, Moro's aura is a purple color. In his prime, when using his full power, Moro possesses an orange aura.
The symbol on Moro's belt is the letter "A" in the Galactic Patrol's language.
Moro has no respect for life in general. Rather, he views them all as food for his pleasure and scoffs at people who try to stop him. He is very deceitful and manipulative, having used Cranberry to help restore his power, immediately eliminating him after he outlived his usefulness, as well as feigning his weakness until he was able to absorb enough of Vegeta's energy to defeat him. Also, despite his arrogance, Moro is not without caution, as when he learned that Goku and Vegeta were training for a rematch with him, he decided to go absorb as many people and planets' energy as possible so he would be stronger too once they confront him again. At the same time, because of his selfishness and amorality, Moro has contempt for real empowerment through training, firmly believing that those who do are idiots.
Moro normally speaks in a calm, collected tone, but his calm demeanor gives way to extreme rage when in the presence of the Grand Supreme Kai, since he has harbored a grudge against him for eons. In fact, Moro also has no respect for the gods in general, since by destroying everything, they create, he believes he is above them and, therefore, is not subject to having his actions judged by them. He also demonstrates a mocking sadism when he has the advantage over his opponents by using his opponent's own techniques against them and deriding them constantly.
Moro holds a strong command and does not like it when his subordinates act on their own. This is seen when the Macareni Gang went to Earth without informing Moro beforehand, and upon learning this, Moro sent a scouting party to search the planet and ordered Shimorekka to kill the Macareni Gang, stating traitors acting on their own are dispensable.
Aside from Seven-Three, who Moro had special interest in due to his Copy Ability, he cares nothing for the wellbeing of his own men, and purposefully pumped more energy into Saganbo, knowing the damage it was doing to his body, and eventually caused his death, even going so far as to mock him afterwards. He then told Goku that he saw him only as a soldier of which more can be collected. This uncaring nature later comes into play once again when backed into a corner, as Moro had no qualms over killing a concerned Shimorekka (due to being a possible interference) and proceeded to literally consume Seven-Three and his abilities as to regain the advantage in battle.
In battle, Moro shows extreme arrogant pride in his powers to the point of proclaiming himself as the "supreme existence" of Universe 7. Because of this, he believes himself to be completely unsurpassed, remaining in constant denial whenever he is oppressed or subdued. Notably, the warlock has shown a genuine fear of dying, having acquired the firm conviction that by devouring all forms of life created by the gods since immemorial times, he is destined to live forever. As such, if the possibility of him being killed in battle becomes real, he will become erratic and fierce when pressed, but if he realizes that he will have no chance of victory, Moro will cower to the point of retreating and even resort to faked clemency to avoid being killed, and possibly to trick them into letting him regain his strength.
A very characteristic mental trait shown by Moro was his inability to have any personal growth. Even when he was offered a chance to repent and return peacefully to prison, he remained adamant about wanting to rethink his actions, remaining solely eager to obtain just more power so that he could live freely doing whatever he wanted without consequence. He was also unable to recognize that his power acquired by stealing them from others was inferior when compared to those who obtained it through self-effort. Ultimately, as result of the immense power he gained from Merus, Moro eventually goes insane, degenerating into a cackling mess, what ultimately caused his death.
Background
Moro destroyed the Iragi Star System and brought about the mass extinction of life on 320 planets. During his fight with the Grand Supreme Kai and the South Supreme Kai, Moro used his magic to pelt the Supreme Kais with comets. Upon absorbing life energy from a nearby planet, Moro condenses the energy into a ball and eats it, causing his strength to grow even further. Ultimately, the Grand Supreme Kai uses up his god power and successfully seals away Moro's magic where he is then imprisoned by the Galactic Police. He is sentenced to death, but nobody is strong enough to end his life, so he stayed locked away for the next 10 million years.
Manga
Moro boasts a high level of battle power and an even higher level of magic power. With his magic power, he was able to hold an advantage over both Grand Supreme Kai and South Supreme Kai, the two strongest Supreme Kais at the time. However, after Grand Supreme Kai sacrificed most of his godly power to seal Moro's magical power, he was quickly defeated by the two Supreme Kais - to the point he couldn't even fight back. Even with the vast majority of his power sealed away, it still sustained him to live on for ten million years, during which the Galactic Patrol were unable to successfully execute him after countless attempts. Even Merus, the strongest of the Galactic Patrol, openly says that Moro's power is in another league altogether - though this was due to Merus being forced to hide his status as an Angel due to the Angel laws - and highly doubted the combined might of Goku and Vegeta could beat him.
After regaining some of his previous power, he is able to escape his imprisonment. Although his magic abilities are still so weak that even scanning the universe is enough to disorient him. Against Super Saiyan Vegeta, Moro showed noticeable raw might and combat prowess, able to easily evade Vegeta's attacks and using his special powers can overwhelm him as a Super Saiyan 2. However, he is no match for Super Saiyan God Vegeta, who easily evaded his telekinesis. However, Moro was still confident that by using his full magic power, he can defeat Vegeta.
Moro is able to use his magic to manipulate the very elements of the planet's life energy to attack Vegeta, quickly pressuring Super Saiyan God Vegeta, who is able to evade the energy attacks with difficulty and is also able to hold back one of New Namek's energy beams with visible struggle. When Moro powers up by absorbing New Namek's energy, Goku notes that Vegeta probably would not be able to beat him without using Super Saiyan Blue, with Vegeta stating that Super Saiyan Blue is still beyond Moro's current level. Moro easily beats around base Vegeta - who is now unable to even become a Super Saiyan due to Moro having absorbed most of his energy. Moro then proceeds to easily defeat the two Saiyans and drains their life force in order to partially restore himself.
After being partially restored, Moro proved strong enough to kill the Planet Namek Savior without even looking at him. However, Moro is at somewhat of a disadvantage when fighting against Good Buu - who has unlocked his hidden power. Although he's able to stab Buu without him being able to react in time as well as relatively withstand some of Buu's energy blasts, he's still gradually overwhelmed by Buu, mostly in part due to Buu being immune to his magic and regenerative ability. Good Buu notes that power-wise, Moro is a weakling compared to him.
Once Moro's magic has been fully restored he is able to quickly escape from being restrained by Good Buu, and once his body has been further restored by Namek's energy, he was able to overwhelm the Grand Supreme Kai without even taking a scratch, though it is noted by Vegeta that if either he or Goku were to fight Moro at full power in Super Saiyan Blue, they would be more powerful than him - barring magic.

Vibrancy pervades the Moro kitchen. The wood-fired oven that is its warm heart fills the air with the smell of baking bread while lamb and chorizo sizzle on the charcoal grill. Homemade yoghurt and sourdough cultures are tended in quiet corners, while the busy open front clamours with activity.
