And here's the last two. Vinegarette was of course named after vinaigrette dressing, or more specifically, the way a lot of people want to pronounce it (adding extra syllables so it's "vinegar-ette," pronounced just like "vinegar," rather than "vin-ai-grette.") Pravalon is named for the single weirdest pronunciation I've heard since working at Subway -- people who ask for provolone cheese, but instead of pronouncing it "pro-vo-lone" they say "prah-vah-lahn." A lot of the mispronunciations that led to these guys were ones I'd heard before, but I'd never heard this one until I started working at Subway.

Anyway, Vinegarette is a Garlic Jr. type being, but female and... uh... taller. She probably comes from the 6th universe's version of the Makyo Star (...probably a planet rather than a star, for obvious reasons, but since Japanese uses "sei" to mean both planet and star interchangeably sometimes you get odd names like that) and is their equivalent of Garlic Jr., just like how Frost is their equivalent of Freeza. I figured a Makyan would be appropriate for the name, since Garlic Jr. already had a minion named Vinegar and they seem to have a spices/seasonings theme. Pravalon is the oddball of the bunch: he's not designed after any known DBZ species. I was going for a weird alien design that wouldn't seem out of place next to guys like the Ginyu Force, without actually basing the design off of any alien shown in the series. Basically he's like a humanoid whale thing with froggy hands. He turned out to be my favorite of the bunch, actually. XD
