Shugesh (; Panbukin) is a Saiyan warrior within the Saiyan Army, and one of the members of Bardock's team along with Borgos, Fasha, and Tora. While battling in Great Ape form in Planet Kanassa, his cheek is cut by a ki blast from a Kanassan to which he retaliates by crushing the Kanassan under his foot. Later, he tackles another Kanassan after he hit Bardock in the back of the neck. After the team destroyed Planet Meat's inhabitants, Shugesh is the first of his teammates to killed by Dodoria's elite under Frieza's orders.
His name is a pun on "pumpkin", well fitting his overweight physique.
