Saibamen

“	Maybe the Saibamen can persuade them to tell us where the Dragon Balls are. Huh, Nappa?	„
	~ Vegeta about the Saibamen

Background

Saibamen are a species of small humanoid aliens that are grown from a seed that’s planted in fertile soil, such as the soil of Earth. After a special unknown fluid is poured on the planted Saibamen, they are immediately grown and reach their full strength within a moment. This species serves as a fodder minion to whoever planted it, which is oftentimes a Saiyan Warrior.

Previously used to help them take over a planet, each Saiyan Warrior carries around multiple Saibamen seeds and bulbs of fluid, for their own usage whenever a Saibaman’s power is required. The most notable instance of a pod of Saibamen being grown, is during Nappa and Vegeta’s invasion of planet Earth.

The Saibamen species are animalistic, ruthless and savage creatures, whose only allegiance lies with those who are stronger than them. Even when crippled and defeated, a Saibaman will do whatever it takes to win (or at least not be the only one to lose,) as they will go as far as to resort to clinging to an enemy and self-destructing.

There are multiple different sub-species of Saibamen who are used for multiple different scenarios; the regular Saibamen are green and wield fairly standard battle powers. Kaiwaremen are blue versions of the original, who are much weaker than normal, but come in the plenty. Kyukonmen are yellow and Tennenmen are purple, but both are fairly standard to the average Saibaman’s power. Jinkoumen are grey versions of the original, who are far stronger than the rest.

The final, most unique sub-species of Saibamen, are the Copymen. A Copyman is an extremely rare Saibaman, who is completely jet black in coloration. These Saibamen hold the special abilities of shapeshifting, which also increases their power tremendously; with the ability, they can convincingly shapeshift into other characters, notably having shown to transform into Raditz and First Form Frieza.

Powers and Abilities

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Chi Manipulation & Ki Manipulation (Saibamen can generate Ki for attacks. All beings in Dragon Ball have ki , the very life force energy of all characters, ki allows a fighter to extend beyond their bodies limits, allowing them to even block attacks that would otherwise kill them from raising their guard, higher level users can lower their own durability to allow people far below them to fatally wound them. A users ki aura can exert itself as a weapon to attack), Attack Reflection (All Ki users are able to reflect attacks just by being stronger than their opponent. Examples include, Nappa deflecting a masenko from Son Gohan, Son Gohan being able to bounce back the spirit bomb, Son Goku deflecting a crusher ball from Jeice, Frieza deflecting a Final Burst Cannon from Vegeta, Son Goku reflecting multiple death beams back to back from Frieza, and Future Trunks being able to completely repel an energy blast with his hand from a Frieza Soldier just by being much stronger than them), Homing Attack (Ki users can create attacks that will home in and chase a target forever), Mind Manipulation (Characters can link their ki together and train within each other’s mind enacting in image training), Power Absorption & Transferal (Ki users can transfer their ki to others and absorb the ki given to them from others), Aura (Has an aura of ki surrounding him whenever he exerts ki), Vibration Manipulation (Powerful ki users can cause the very ground itself to shake when they power up), Intimidation, Metaphysics Manipulation & Pain Manipulation (Spirit Manipulation; Ki is the manifestation of one’s lifeforce, along with the aura giving one the feeling of being crushed, exerting fear into the target, sometimes making them incapable of moving as their body is instinctively stuck due to the sheer difference in power), Energy Manipulation (Ki is the latent power in one's body, this latent power allows them to form and create energy from controlling their ki, which can be used to shoot out energy blast), Explosion Manipulation (Ki attacks can create massive explosions, control the ki to set off a huge explosion under the enemy, or in front of them), Heat Manipulation (Ki user's ki attacks produce heat allowing them to cook and grill animals and raw meat, along with leaving behind steam after the attacks hit an area, showing its latent heat), Power Nullification (Those with ki can nullify attacks of lesser ki with their ki alone. They can also catch and nullify ki attacks around their level through focusing enough), Forcefield Creation (Ki users such as Cell can generate forcefields around themselves. These forcefields can be expanded, and used to protect others and defend against attacks far higher then the user), Self-Destruction (Ki users in Dragon Ball are able to release all of the energy within them to cause a massive self-destruction of energy that normally kills the user and turns them into dust though one can control it to surviving but having no stamina or energy left), Light Manipulation (Ki can be used as a flash of light), Non-Physical Interaction (Those with ki can block intangible attacks when they focus and notices them), Healing (Ki can be used to heal beings, allowing them to survive even with half their torso, it can also heal from near death), Fusionism (Saibamen can perform the Fusion Dance). Limited Resistance to Durability Negation (Ki users can focus their energy to localize an object to a specific spot to stop them from attempting to destroy their organs/insides)

Skilled Hand to Hand Combatant (A Saibaman can contend with Yamcha, a trained martial artist), Acrobatics, Flight, Enhanced Senses, Acid Manipulation (Saibaman can produce acid), Paralysis Inducement (A Saibaman’s Acid can paralyze enemies), Self-Destruction (Saibaman can detonate themselves)

All previous abilities, Transformation (Shapeshifting) and Statistics Amplification (Copymen can shapeshift into both Raditz and Frieza; doing so increases its power)

Notable Techniques

• Flight: With a mastery of Ki control, Dabura is able to fly at incredibly high speeds.
• Ki Blast: Using Ki, Dabura can concentrate it into a ball that he uses as a projectile attack.
• Acid: Splitting open its head, the Saibamen is able to spray a jet of deadly acid from within it, powerful enough to melt huge masses of land.
• Saibabeam: The Saibaman fires a green beam of energy from its head.
• Saibaman Bomb: Clinging onto an enemy as hard as it can, the Saibaman glows bright before self-destructing in a massive explosion.
• Shapeshifting: Specific ability to a Copyman. The Copymen is able to completely shapeshift itself into a convincing mimic of someone else, which also increases its power. Copymen have only shown to shapeshift into Raditz and First Form Frieza.

---

Other

Standard Tactics: Saibamen will employ hand to hand combat along with attacks where they spit out acid. They will also attempt to self-destruct if the opponent is too strong for them.

Weaknesses: Due to the nature of ki draining stamina and energy, Dragon Ball characters ki usage requires them to usually use their higher levels of energy in short bursts, allowing them to not be able to tank or die to far lower attacks such as attacks that have destroyed the planets of several worlds.

Note: Some clips used on the profile come from an anime or movie due to the fact that some abilities from ki use shouldn't function much differently from how they can in canon, along with this sometimes the anime version/video game version of a scene will be used for cleaner visuals. Toriyama himself directly overlooks scenes in the anime and movies and gives Toei the thumbs up.
