Maloja is the "village idiot" and self-elected shaman of a village that was constantly being attacked by a monster. He suggested an annual sacrifice to appease the monster. Videl viewed this as murder, however, and so she, Goten, and Trunks offered to fight the monster. Eventually they killed it, restoring peace to the village, and Maloja's name as conjurer was disgraced, and he was kicked out of the village.
