On Dal (died 590), commonly referred to by Koreans as "On Dal the Fool" (babo ondal (바보 온달)), was a Goguryeo General and the husband of Princess Pyeonggang.
A legend tells that his waist was bent and his face was ugly, but he had a good heart. His family was very poor, so he begged for his mother. Though of lower-class origin, he later married King Pyeongwon of Goguryeo's daughter Princess Pyeonggang and then become a general.[2] He died in 590 at Achasanseong Fortress during a battle against the Silla army.
