Meta-Coolers (メタルクウラ Metaru Kūra, lit. “Metal Koora”) are mass-produced cyborg clones of Cooler created by the Big Gete Star that can be remotely controlled from the planet’s core. They are the decoy antagonists of Dragon Ball Z: The Return of Cooler before it is revealed they are clones. Although there are 10,000,000,000 Meta-Coolers (thousands in the Funimation dub), the term “Meta-Cooler” is often used to refer to the first one encountered by Goku. The army of hundreds or thousands of Meta-Cooler is referred to as the Meta-Cooler Corps.
