Frieza (, Freeza) is a recurring villan in the Dragon Ball series.

In Super Smash Bros. 4
Frieza appears as the stage boss of Planet Namek, taunting the player while attacking. He flies around the stage, periodically using his Death Beam and Death Wave attacks. The player has a limited amount of time in which Frieza can be defeated; should they fail to do so, he will reappear in the background and unleash his Death Ball attack. The Death Ball hits in the middle of the stage, and finishes with an explosion. However, it can be easily avoided by going to the edges of the stage.

Trophy description

 * Frieza
 * The destroyer of worlds, Frieza. Any fighters on Planet Namek are bound to face him. Frieza can pinpoint an unlucky opponent with his Death Beam and raise their damage faster than they can say "Kaio-Ken", and his Death Wave attack can launch those heavily-damaged opponents. But be careful—if you don't defeat him in time, you will probably regret it.

Origin
Frieza is introduced in the series as an extremely powerful galactic overlord who oversees the Frieza Force, of which the Saiyans, the main antagonists prior, were members. He rules a vast empire that has control over what has been said to be at least 79 planets up until his death according to the original manga, and later in Resurrection ‘F’ it is mentioned that he has at least 448 planets. The manga and anime never specify exactly how large of a region Frieza oversees, only implying that he controlled at least 448 planets. His brother Cooler states that Frieza ruled the northern quadrant of the universe in the movie Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge. Frieza creates many armies from the planets that he conquers, and his most utilized race were the Saiyans. Frieza had heard about the legend of the Super Saiyan, a being with unrivaled power and the only warrior that could pose a threat to him, but dismissed it as nothing more than a myth; however, after several Saiyans emerged with rapidly evolving potential, Frieza began to fear that the legend of the Super Saiyan may one day come true. Thus, when confronted by Bardock, a Saiyan whose power was growing, Frieza wiped out almost the entirety of the Saiyan race by annihilating Planet Vegeta, the Saiyan home world. Frieza's actions eventually lead him into conflict with the heroes of the series when he tries to take possession of the wish-granting Dragon Balls on Planet Namek. Still, no one could possibly contend with Frieza's might - that is, until his fears were realized when he inadvertently caused the emergence of the mythical Super Saiyan, Son Goku, and was defeated by him in a terrific, planet-shattering battle.
