UN-LTD AWESOME WORKS
@ Characters with third eyes: It's some mythology mumbo-jumbo.
 
Chris already explained that Tien is supposed to look as if he had reached enlightenment, and therefore has a third eye.

Also, I'd hardly call it "mythology"

As for Chouzu...well...according to Tenkaichi he is based on a Japanese vampire, although this is the same source that stated Tien was from alien desent, when Toriyama himself states that Tien opened his third eye through enlightening his spirit.

Chouzu's more likely based off a china doll. Kuririn's stayed fairly short throughout his lifetime too, so chances are Chouzu's similar in his genetic structure.

The honest answer is, no one really knows, because Chouzu's got a crappy part, and Toriyama never reveals backstory in anything but his interviews.

Yeah, ok!
Chaotzu is a freak of nature who was never really explained. He was pretty useless, he had no reason to return after Dragonball ended.
 
Yeah...um, you noticed that the characters can shoot energy blasts, and the mayor of one town is a Dog?

Actually the Dog is the King of the world.

Yes... Chouzu was hella useless... Remember when he blew up on top of Nappa to kill him? Not only did he fail, he couldn't even blow up his hat. HIS HAT.

He wasn't totally useless, he served a small role as a rival for Krillin.

Exactly. Not the best choice for source of information as the Daizenshuu even claim that Tenshinhan is an alien, when he clearly isn't.

Pretty accurate considering his supposed "wife" in the third movie was as stiff and looked like one. o_O;

Bingo.

He wasn't totally useless, he served a small role as a rival for Krillin.
Didn't have much of an effect on anything, especially since he's beaten by Tao Pai Pai in the next tournament, blows himself up on Nappa, and trains with Kaio-sama only to never fight in the series' again.
