"Kakarot, you are a disgrace to your people! Thousands of years of evolution - and you cast it aside for a multitude of weaklings!" - Turles speaking to Kakarot.
The Character’s Appearance
Aside from a different skin tone and retaining his Saiyan tail, Turles looks exactly the same as Goku does, even virtually identical height and build. Their slight difference in hairstyle is that Turles is given at least two "devil horns"
Turles wears gray and black Battle Armor. Out of all the low-class soldiers wearing Scouters in the series, Turles is the only one whose Scouter lens is red, excluding Vegeta in his first appearance. Turles is also shown briefly wearing a white cape similar to Piccolo's. In the Universe Creation Saga, Turles is shown to have discarded his scouter and wears a black cape instead.
About the Character
Personality:
Turles is shown to be a merciless, prideful and confident individual. His cruel treatment of Gohan proves that he cares little to nothing for others, shown again when he casually dismisses the deaths of his loyal subordinates at the hands of Goku. As such, his lack of empathy was such that, when Goku accuses Turles of not knowing the difference between good and evil, Turles reveals he has a firm grasp on what good and evil is, yet he doesn't even care about it. As with many other villains before and after him, his main objective is to conquer the universe, though he plans on doing so by using his Tree of Might, even if it means killing billions of innocent people in the process. He also seems to find pleasure in seeing others suffer, as to how he laughed when Goku was being attacked by his own son. However, he does seem to have some modicum of respect for his fellow Saiyans, with his even implying that, once he establishes the Turles Crusher Corps. HQ at the Frieza Race's homeworld upon exterminating them, he would rebuild the Saiyan civilization there in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. He also refused to believe that Kakarot had been killed as a child. However, this respect eventually was warped into sheer hatred for his own race, evidenced how he was brought back through Dr. Lychee's hatred-powered computer. He also held disgust towards strong creatures, especially those with Saiyan ancestry, having compassion for weaker creatures, as evidenced by his telling Goku the latter should have raised Gohan better regarding his being friends with Icarus. Despite his contempt for Goku, however, he does have a grudging sense of respect for him, as demonstrated in the Dragon Ball Heroes manga where he not only managed to save Goku, Vegeta and Hearts from the Crimson Masked Warrior's assault, but even provide them with a pouch containing the Three Star Dragon Ball, an action that ultimately resulted in Turles' death at the hands of Crimson as revenge.
However, it should be noted that he himself has notable pride in his Saiyan heritage not unlike Prince Vegeta and Raditz, which may explain his disgust towards Saiyans who show compassion towards those weaker than themselves, a belief that was common among the Universe 7 Saiyans during the reign of King Vegeta. According to conversations with Nappa, Raditz and Vegeta in Xenoverse 2, he was a low-class warrior and troublemaker who never learned to follow orders, which apparently lead him to desert the Saiyan Army during some secret mission as Raditz and Nappa attribute his survival to being away during that mission and apparently its secrecy, as well as the Genocide of the Saiyans, prevented Turles' desertion from being discovered as Raditz and Nappa believe he still hadn't completed it unaware he had deserted the Saiyan Army to found his own rival organization and planned to one day overthrow Frieza and possibly the Saiyan Royal Family before the Genocide of the Saiyans made it a moot point. Given his desire to overthrow Frieza, he may be aware of his role in Planet Vegeta's destruction or at least suspected it as Vegeta did in the anime. Turles wishes to become the new King of the Saiyans, as well as the strongest among the race, which is why he allied with Fu.[4]
Turles has a warped interest in having Gohan join him as he recognizes the boy's potential much like Garlic Jr. did in Dead Zone. He even seems to ignore Gohan's half Saiyan status, though he may be unaware the boy's mother is not a Saiyan given that Gohan is the only hybrid born with a tail which may cause Turles to mistakenly believe he is pure Saiyan, or Gohan's great potential makes him simply overlook this fact. However, he does not care at all for Gohan's wellbeing and presumably only wishes to use his power for his own benefit given his cruel treatment of the boy and willingness to kill him if need be. Additionally he is shown to potentially view any Saiyan or powerful warrior he encounters as a potential underling or partner, given that he tends to try and recruit those he encounters such as Gohan and Future Warrior in Xenoverse 2, even stating that fellow Saiyans should work together, indicating his seeking out potential Saiyan allies may be driven out of a desire for Saiyan camaraderie which he may miss from his days as a member of the Saiyan Army. Due to his Saiyan pride, even though he himself is a Saiyan Army deserter, he considers Kakarot a traitor to the Saiyan race due to Goku's rejecting the violent planet conquering ways of the Saiyans and his compassion for the weak. This makes Turles similar to Raditz, as they both despise Goku's compassionate views.
He seems to hate Frieza and his race, the latter to genocidal levels, as it was implied that part of the reason why he and his Turles Crusher Corps. tried to plant the Tree of Might and eat it was so they could challenge Frieza in a fight and defeat him, and when completing the training of a Saiyan Future Warrior in Xenoverse 2, he makes clear that he intends to find the homeworld of Frieza's race and exterminate them, including Frieza himself, and then use their homeworld as the headquarters for the Turles Crusher Corps. Ironically he shares some traits in common with Frieza such as his sadism and even his desire for immortality which he seeks to acquire in Xenoverse 2 using the Namekian Dragon Balls, believing that with immortality and the Fruit of the Tree of Might, he can defeat become strong enough to defeat Mira and Frieza to conquer the universe.
Interestingly he does seem to possess some respect for his ally Lord Slug, though has no desire to share control of the universe with him unless he was willing to work under him though he notes that fellow wanderers like them should stick together indicating he sees Slug as a kindred spirit as they are both members of their race who embrace evil. He retains his desire for Gohan to join him though after eating the Demon Realm enhanced Fruit of the Tree of Might he reconsidered the idea after asking Gohan to join him as he states he'd be a fool to take on the child of the traitorous Kakarot as he is just not that desperate indicating he sees the folly of trying to recruit the son of Goku who rejects his violent Saiyan Heritage. However even with Saiyans who share his evil nature and views, he may choose not to ask them to join him especially if they look down on him which is likely due to it being a reminder of his time as a low-class soldier, thus explaining why he never sought out the other known survivors Prince Vegeta, Nappa, and Raditz as he likely knew full well of the Saiyan Prince's elitism would make it unlikely for him to view Turles as anything but a low-class warrior and had no intention of serving under Vegeta as Nappa and Raditz did. He has demonstrated contempt for Goku, referring to him as a low-class warrior, despite being a low-class warrior himself. He also shows some resentment toward elite warriors, as in Raging Blast 2, when he defeats Nappa, he will remark that he expected more from an elite warrior. This suggests that Turles is very bitter about his own status as a low-class warrior and detests elite Saiyans for looking down on him, yet still enjoys ridiculing other low-class Saiyans for being weaker than him.
Additionally despite his evil and violent Saiyan nature, he does possess a certain among of calmness and restraint even refusing to utilize his Great Ape form due to his inability to control himself despite the form's power and approaches situations more methodically even playing the role of peacemaker when Lord Slug gets into an argument with Mira in Xenoverse 2 preventing a fight so they can get down to business and prevents their alliance with the Time Breakers from falling apart due to in-fighting, a trait which is somewhat rare among Saiyans due to their aggression and love of conflict making them more prone to joining in and starting a fight. This calm and methodical approach also serves as an evil analog to Goku's calm laid back personality. Presumably, it is this calm methodical approach that has allowed him to survive despite his low-class status due to it making him less prone to recklessly charging into battle and more careful when dealing with those stronger than himself such as Frieza or Mira. He sees the Legendary Super Saiyan as a loose cannon in Xenoverse 2 as he believes true Saiyan warriors have finesse, a belief the evil Legendary Super Saiyan himself disagreed with, countering Turles’ views by asserting that Saiyans only truly care for battle. This belief in finesse likely explains Turles' tendency to be more methodical. However, as with most villains, his sadism and arrogance tend to get the better of him, which causes him to overestimate himself and underestimate his enemies at times.
Additionally in contrast to Goku who prefers to train to grow stronger (though Goku will occasionally use other methods such as the Ultra Divine Water and Super Saiyan God ritual if he needs to acquire more strength and power than normal training would allow or to acquire it in a timely manner), Turles prefers to utilize the Tree of Might and its Fruit as a shortcut to increasing power and is willing to destroy as many planets as it takes to grow the Tree of Might in order to gain its strength enhancing fruit. In Xenoverse 2, his desire to take revenge on Goku, causes him to become willing to risk trusting a Demon like Towa with altering the Fruit itself just to increase the amount of power it grants yet failing to foresee that she would taint the Fruit to use him and Slug to test new spell. The power granted by the fruit also makes him arrogant as he believes that he can simply surpass those stronger than him by consuming the fruit which leads to his defeat when Goku used the very energy that the Tree of Might had drained from the Earth to create a Spirit Bomb destroy both Turles and the Tree itself, thus it was his own source of power that leads to his defeat. However, he apparently did not learn from said defeat given that he had Towa augment the fruit after the Time Breakers had rescued him from death and assist them in wrecking havoc through time. However his brush with death did cause him to seek immortality via the Namekian Dragon Balls indicating he attributed his defeat to his own mortality, believing he could defeat any foe once he possessed both immortality and the enhanced Fruit of the Tree of Might, though this too ultimately lead to his defeat at the hands of the Time Patrol. Despite Towa's betrayal he believed that the Supervillain power-up was a mistake on her part as he felt that he could defeat her, Mira, and Slug after dealing with the Time Patrol despite learning that this strength had shaved off some of his own lifespan, though presumably he unconcerned by this as he believed immortality was well within his grasp. When Vegeta bluntly tells him after Turles' attempt at corrupting the Saiyan Prince backfired that he should train if he had any Saiyan honor left, Turles seemed to consider the idea due to it meaning he'll be back to being a low-class Saiyan. Ultimately, Turles accepts his place as a low-class Saiyan and saves Goku and Vegeta from Goku Black, even smiling before being destroyed by Black.
According to Old Kai in Xenoverse 2, Turles' heart is essentially a "ball of pure evil" which makes sense as he is essentially Goku's polar opposite as Goku is known to possess a heart that is pure good. It also makes sense as Turles understands the difference between good and evil yet chooses to do evil. This is reinforced in Super Dragon Ball Heroes by his belief that Saiyans have inherently evil natures.

Great Ape
Like all Saiyans with a tail, Turles can transform into a Great Ape at the sight of a full moon (or similar sources).

He is shown transformed in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 by making his own moon just like Vegeta with the Power Ball ability.
Power boosted by the Fruit of the Tree of Might
After eating fruit from the Tree of Might Turles' power increases greatly. His body also immediately increases in muscle mass considerably, while likewise proportionally increasing his height to cause no reduction on his speed or agility.
In Xenoverse 2, Fruit of the Tree of Might power up acts as a Reinforcement Super Skill (a type of temporary Power Up that increases the user's stats) and allows Turles to perform an additional attack after eating the fruit.
Evil Aura power up
After being powered up by Fu in the anime, Turles gained the ability to utilize Evil Aura. In this state he could fight on par with Goku in his Super Saiyan Blue form.

Villainous Mode
Via consuming the Fruit of the Tree of Might (Demon Realm) created by Towa, Turles can access the second stage Villainous Mode power-up which causes him to gain a dark purple aura and glowing red eyes, while increasing his power greatly. However, as Towa tainted the fruit to test a new spell on Turles and Slug which causes their bodies to swell with dark energy which causes them to acquire an even greater power-up.
Supervillain
Through Towa's tampering with the Demon Realm enhanced Fruit, her new spell can shave off Turles' life in order to unlock even greater power resulting in a new kind of dark power up. This power up causes him to gain a sinister black and white aura, while causing his pupils to emit a pinkish red glow. In this state, he believed himself to be powerful enough to defeat the Time Breakers after he had dealt with the Future Warrior and Trunks: Xeno, though ultimately he was no match for them though this may have been due his power-up being used as test run to help Towa perfect it and only grants him what would eventually become the first stage Supervillain Mode.
Dark Ki
He was one of the several victims of a mysterious brainwash technique in Dragon Ball Legends. His memories and goals were rewritten, making Turles wishing nothing more than conflicts, starting senseless battles with several warriors, and always betraying his allies to starts even more battles. When Shallot made him realize that it wasn't what he wanted, he was surrounded by a dark mist and his voice becomes distorted. Despite being massively powered-up, he was ultimately defeated by Super Saiyan Shallot.

Scouter
Like most Saiyan warriors, Turles is unable to sense ki and must rely on Scouters to read his enemies power levels.
Battle Armor
Like most Saiyan warriors, Turles wears Saiyan Battle Armor as protective clothing. When he is first introduced, he wears a white cloak along with his armor which gives him a more regal appearance (additionally it hides his resemblance to Goku from the audience) fitting with his desire to usurp Frieza and rule over Universe 7. His armor stretches when he transforms into a Great Ape like most Battle Armor models worn by Saiyans.
Turles' spaceship
A large spaceship used as the flagship for Turles Crusher Corps. and resembles a Saiyan Attack Ball albeit large enough to carry the entire Crusher Corps. and equipped with spider-like legs. The ship is also used to plant the Seed of Might.
Tree of Might
A holy tree grown from the Seed of Might that requires the energy of an entire planet to produce. Turles and the Crusher Corps. travel in search of planets to plant its seeds in order to grow the Tree and the holy fruit it produces.

He used it to bring the two Beenz brothers Rasin and Lakasei back to life from their fossils.

Presumably, it is this calm methodical approach that has allowed him to survive despite his low-class status due to it making him less prone to recklessly charging into battle and more careful when dealing with those stronger than himself such as Frieza or Mira. He sees the Legendary Super Saiyan as a loose cannon in Xenoverse 2 as he believes true Saiyan warriors have finesse, a belief the evil Legendary Super Saiyan himself disagreed with, countering Turles’ views by asserting that Saiyans only truly care for battle. This belief in finesse likely explains Turles' tendency to be more methodical. However, as with most villains, his sadism and arrogance tend to get the better of him, which causes him to overestimate himself and underestimate his enemies at times.
Additionally in contrast to Goku who prefers to train to grow stronger (though Goku will occasionally use other methods such as the Ultra Divine Water and Super Saiyan God ritual if he needs to acquire more strength and power than normal training would allow or to acquire it in a timely manner), Turles prefers to utilize the Tree of Might and its Fruit as a shortcut to increasing power and is willing to destroy as many planets as it takes to grow the Tree of Might in order to gain its strength enhancing fruit. In Xenoverse 2, his desire to take revenge on Goku, causes him to become willing to risk trusting a Demon like Towa with altering the Fruit itself just to increase the amount of power it grants yet failing to foresee that she would taint the Fruit to use him and Slug to test new spell. The power granted by the fruit also makes him arrogant as he believes that he can simply surpass those stronger than him by consuming the fruit which leads to his defeat when Goku used the very energy that the Tree of Might had drained from the Earth to create a Spirit Bomb destroy both Turles and the Tree itself, thus it was his own source of power that leads to his defeat. However, he apparently did not learn from said defeat given that he had Towa augment the fruit after the Time Breakers had rescued him from death and assist them in wrecking havoc through time. However his brush with death did cause him to seek immortality via the Namekian Dragon Balls indicating he attributed his defeat to his own mortality, believing he could defeat any foe once he possessed both immortality and the enhanced Fruit of the Tree of Might, though this too ultimately lead to his defeat at the hands of the Time Patrol. Despite Towa's betrayal he believed that the Supervillain power-up was a mistake on her part as he felt that he could defeat her, Mira, and Slug after dealing with the Time Patrol despite learning that this strength had shaved off some of his own lifespan, though presumably he unconcerned by this as he believed immortality was well within his grasp. When Vegeta bluntly tells him after Turles' attempt at corrupting the Saiyan Prince backfired that he should train if he had any Saiyan honor left, Turles seemed to consider the idea due to it meaning he'll be back to being a low-class Saiyan. Ultimately, Turles accepts his place as a low-class Saiyan and saves Goku and Vegeta from Goku Black, even smiling before being destroyed by Black.
According to Old Kai in Xenoverse 2, Turles' heart is essentially a "ball of pure evil" which makes sense as he is essentially Goku's polar opposite as Goku is known to possess a heart that is pure good. It also makes sense as Turles understands the difference between good and evil yet chooses to do evil. This is reinforced in Super Dragon Ball Heroes by his belief that Saiyans have inherently evil natures.

In this state, he believed himself to be powerful enough to defeat the Time Breakers after he had dealt with the Future Warrior and Trunks: Xeno, though ultimately he was no match for them though this may have been due his power-up being used as test run to help Towa perfect it and only grants him what would eventually become the first stage Supervillain Mode.
