Tapion is kind-hearted in personality, wanting to protect his people from any danger that may set foot. When becoming friends with Trunks, his more happy and upbeat personality returns. While on Earth after being freed, he purposely makes himself isolated from the outside world, since the upper half of Hirudegarn is sealed within his being. A thousand years ago, Tapion and his younger brother Minotia were ordinary Konatsians. Tapion was sealed in mystical music boxes, and dispatched to earth.
