they are also asexual and give birth through their mouths, and you want to know why they live off of water? dont venus flytraps have teeth? werent the namekians explained as having evolved from plants? I think thats been covered about why piccolo drinks water. Edited by Paikuan extreme, Sep 3 2012, 02:59 AM.

They were originally portrayed as demons. And it'd look weird anyways. Also, I think Dende implied that they could eat, but just don't need to. |

Piccolo eats but I think he was raised to think he needed to. But it was said that they just need water. |

Venus fly traps are carnivorous and the namekians are modeled after slugs. |

Evolution is based on the characteristics inherited over time while fitting in to an ecological niche. In other words, it's impossible for a plant to evolve into a humanoid because evolution cannot undo the genetic basis of an organism. I thought Namekians were more like gastropod molluscs (slugs).

I guess they are just weapons. Or maybe Namekians are able to eat and get a bit more of an energy boost, so Nameks who did that survived at some point in their pre-storm history. Or maybe there was some group of people/species that ate Namekian eggs by ramming their hand down the throat of a Namek and stealing the egg, and only the ones with teeth could stop them......just a thought lol. |

The best explanation is that Namekian teeth are vestigial. At one point, the ancestors of current namekians needed teeth to eat, but they evolved a way to survive purely on water. The teeth are leftovers from their ancestors, just like our tailbones, wisdom teeth, and the remnants of the third eyelid. Namekians are still able to eat solid food, as evidenced by Piccolo eating senzu beans, but it is not required.

Piccolo ate solid food, aka meat in DB. In filler they even have him admitting to eating alongside Goku and Gohan 3 years straight, fish to his dismay, but he wanted Chi Chi's cooking enough to learn how to drive |
