<p>Early in the Dragon Ball series, Goku and Krillin rescue a chick named Launch who could switch personalities by sneezing. What happened to her? They don't give any mention about her in Dragon Ball Z or GT, and she seems to have just disappeared in Dragon Ball.</p>

Really? I guess I may have missed it. Then again, I moreso read Dragon Ball Z then watched it, so she may have popped up as filler at one point that wouldn't normally be in the manga.
