A Saiyan is a
fictional
race from the
Planet Vegeta in the
Animes
Dragon Ball,
Dragon Ball Z and
Dragon Ball GT.
Originally there were two races on the planet Vegeta, the Saiyans (can
also be spelt as `Saiyajin') and the
Tuffles (known as Tsufurujin in the original). This planet was
destroyed by
Frieza, and all the Saiyans were killed except for Prince
Vegeta who was kept in Frieza's employ, and
Goku who was sent to
Earth as a child.
Saiyans look very similar to
Humans, except that they are born with furry monkey tails, are
incredibly strong, and have the ability to transform. They can turn into
huge
ape-like creatures if they have a tail and are exposed to moonlight.
There is a Saiyan legend that says every three milleniums [sic:
Vegeta quote] an ultimate warrior will arise who cannot be defeated.
Goku was this warrior, this
Super Saiyan. Nowadays, everyone and their uncle can transform ('go
Super'). In chronological order, the transformations were
Goku,
Trunks (from the future),
Vegeta,
Gohan,
Trunks (from the normal timeline) and
Goten.
Saiyans have the ability to
interbreed successfully with Humans, meaning that their genetic
material must be similar, or an unconventional conception takes place. The
resulting offspring are known as
Halfbreed Saiyans.
