The Saiyans , an ancient race of warriors renowned throughout the universe . They are beings of great power , potential and their desire to fight is almost unmatched.

Although their desire to fight is strong, they are not inherently evil. Their original world, which was Planet Vegeta was destroyed by Frieza. They became space pirates, under Frieza's command.

In Universe 7 , Saiyans are born with a monkey tail that allows them to transform into a great ape when they look at the full moon. Saiyans who lived on Planet Vegeta , such as Bardock , Paragus , King Vegeta , Vegeta , Nappa , and Raditz , wear their tails wrapped around their waists in a fashionable belt.

If a Saiyan's tail is cut off while in Great Ape form, he reverts to normal.

Pure-blooded Saiyans ' hair will retain its natural "spiky" appearance and a consistent length, unless the Saiyan cuts his hair.

Most people know of the Saiyan 's ability to gain great strength after being defeated, but this is not an ability unique to Saiyans.

Fighting is a big part of the Saiyans life. They love it. They will spend their entire lives trying to get stronger and trying to be the strongest in the universe. The Saiyans planet is 10 times that of Earth, giving them a nice home planet to train on. Fighting is in the Saiyan's blood. Frieza knew this and enslaved the Saiyan race by having them take over planets and selling them to the highest bidder. 

A genetic trait, which is buried deep within every Saiyan . Saiyan transformations are triggered by extreme emotion. Like when we cry, the tear ducts are activated by hormones sent from the brain. Likewise for Saiyans , when they experience extreme emotion , their brain sends a chemical message to "activate" the Super Saiyan gene.
