» Saibamen - The exact origin of this species is unknown, but they were most likely created in a lab on Planet Vegeta. The Saibamen were created to help the Saiyans train at a higher level. They were also used on occasion as a fighting weapon with built in acid they could shoot out of their head along with a self-destruction option. Since each Saibamen had a power level identical to Raditz at 1,200, the Z warriors had a semi-tough problem fighting them. The most odd thing about the Saibamen was that they were 'grown' from the ground by planting a seed.
» Saiyans - This is one of the series' main races. All of the main characters belong to this race. They first arrived on the Planet Plant in 550AD and eventually took over the whole planet, renaming it Vegeta. They then encountered
Frieza, who employed them to wipe planets of their life before being sold. Fearing they would one day overthrow him,
Frieza destroyed them all along with the planet, leaving only Goku, Vegeta, Nappa,
Raditz, Broly, Paragus and Turles as survivors.
» Shamo-Jins - This race shows up in Movie #8. They are being uses as slave
labor on New Planet Vegeta by Paragus after their home world was destroyed by
Broly. However during the fight with Broly the race is evacuated to the Capsule Corp spaceship, but it is not know what happens to them after this. Presumably the Z Warriors help them find a new planet like they did for the Nameksei-Jin.
» Shape shifters - A Shape shifter is someone who can change themselves to look however they want. Puar & Oolong went to a
Shape shifting school & learned how to use this power but this is more of a morphing ability. There is a
special shape shifting race that we see in DBZ, they have the ability to morph into anything for as long as they want. They also have the ability to morph the planet they lived on, their names were Zaacro & Raiti. When they see Bulma, Goku and Krillin land on their planet they transform into fake Namekians and try to trick them into thinking the planet they are on is Namek so they can escape the planet on the Z-Fighter's ship, but of course they fail.
