Beerus

is a fictional character from the Dragon Ball franchise created by Akira Toriyama. He made his debut appearance in the 2013 film Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods serving as the main antagonist and returned in the 2015 sequel ''Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' in a supporting role, as well as in the anime series Dragon Ball Super''. He is a deity known as a God of Destruction and resembles a purple sphynx cat wearing traditional Egyptian clothing and ornaments, whose occupation is to maintain balance in the universe by destroying, in contrast to the Supreme Kais who create and preserve.

It has been stated by Whis that Beerus is capable of destroying entire universes. Often seen destroying planets at a whim, Beerus' two sole desires are, being quite a gourmet, enjoying food he likes to eat, and fighting opponents whom he considers as worthy. The latter ultimately leads him to look for the Super Saiyan God, which turns out to be one of the Saiyans now living on Earth. Eventually, Goku, with the help of the other Saiyans, transforms into the Super Saiyan God and fights Beerus, just to be defeated by the God of Destruction. Having enjoyed the match, Beerus spares both Goku and the Earth, saying that Goku was the second strongest opponent he ever faced; the first being his caretaker and martial arts teacher, Whis.
