The Super Saiyan Legend

You can recognize a saiyan by his tail, hair (kind of SONIC hair color could be black or in super saiyan-jin mode they would turn blond), uniform (mostly on Freezer's soldiers), fighting abilities. A saiyan can transform into a giant Ape when they look at the moon. In this Ape status they only seek for destruction.

It is known among the Saiyans THE SUPER SAIYAN LEGEND that says: "Every certain time a gifted child is born, that child would never meet limits, he would reach an unimaginable power and he'd be a blooded warrior. But the child isn't born as a SUPER SAIYAN he must reach that level, mainly by training real hard. A SUPER SAIYAN could be recognized easily by his blond hair, his body and muscles grows

When they get SUPER SAIYAN level their hair turns blond and their body grows, "reaching unreachable power", their eyes turn blue or green. The first Saiyan to ever reach this level in Dragon Ball is Goku, then Vegeta, later Future Trunks, Gohan... and the others.

Maybe you didn't know, but once, Planet Vegeta was named Planet Plant. It's inhabitants were the Tsufuru-jin and the Saiyan-jin lived in the the woods. The Tsufuru-jins were a race a lot advanced, but they weren't strong. The Saiyan-jins didn't like the Tsufuru-jins and they were in permanent battle. These ones only were alive thanks to their weapons. One day, the full moon finally arrived and all the Saiyan-Jins turned in to Oozaru stage (giant apes). The destroyed planet Plant and named Planet Vegeta and their leader was King Vegeta.
