[Source]. Evolved Saiyans are a unique subset of the Saiyan race from Universe 6, exhibiting physical and temperamental differences from the traditional Saiyans of Universe 7. These Saiyans lack tails and, therefore, the ability to transform into Great Apes, but they possess a naturally heightened potential for transformation and rapid power growth. They are inherently leaner and lack as much musculature as their counterparts, however their power and speed alike greatly outmatches the average saiyan. Unlike Universe 7 Saiyans, Universe 6 Saiyans are typically more peaceful and disciplined, often motivated by a desire to protect rather than conquer. Despite their evolutionary differences, evolved Saiyans retain the core Saiyan trait of adapting quickly in battle and can achieve powerful transformations, such as Super Saiyan with much less effort.
