LEVELS OF A SAIYAN

Here are all of the known transformations of a Saiyan.

Saiyan

Hair Color: Black (if any)
Home Planet: Vegeta
Description
Saiyans are a warrior race, that live on Planet Vegeta.  They were once loyal to Frieza, who later killed the majority of them.  Although they have extreme powers, they were not known to become much stronger then 20,000 without transforming into an Oozaru (see Oozaru).  Also, all Pure Saiyans are born with a long monkey tail.




Oozaru
Eye Color: Red
Hair Color: Black-full body hair
Description
An Oozaru was first believed to be the strongest form of a Saiyan.  It is reached when a Saiyan looks at a full moon, artificial or real, while still having his/her tail.  Once transformed, they go on a complete rampage, usually killing whatever's in it's site.  Unless use to the transformation, the Saiyan cannot control itself.






Golden Oozaru
Eye Color: Red
Hair Color: Gold
Description
The Golden Oozaru is a much more powerful form of Oozaru.  It was believed by the Saiyans that this was reached by the legendary Super Saiyan that lived nearly 3,000 years before the time of Dragonball Z, which killed itself by it's tremendous power.   It is basically just an Oozaru in Super Saiyan form. (see Super Saiyan)

Super Saiyan 2-SSJ2
Eye Color: Green
Hair Color: White/Dark Yellow depending on power
Description
Super Saiyan 2 is a step further then Ultra Saiyan (see Ultra Saiyan).  It is much more powerful then Super Saiyan, but because of the Ultra Saiyan stage, Goku believes that Super Saiyan 3 (see Super Saiyan 3) is much better.  In Super Saiyan 2, your muscles increase more then Super Saiyan, while your hair gets darker and thicker.  Also, every few seconds a energy bolt forms around them.

Ultra Saiyan- USSJ
Eye Color: Green

Super Saiyan 4- SSJ4
Eye Color: Red/Yellow
Hair Color: Black
Description
Super Saiyan 4 is the strongest known stage a Saiyan can reach.  Although it doesn't have the gold hair and green eyes, it is still a part of Super Saiyan.  Since this doesn't look like a regular Super Saiyan, people normally call the Super Saiyan 4, Super (there name) 4.  For example, Super Goku 4.  In this stage, they grow a pink/red coat of fur, and have a tail.  Their hair is very thick, and their muscles and speed grow greatly.
