[Source]. Low-class Saiyans are the foot soldiers of the Saiyan race, primarily serving as infantry in their conquests of weaker planets. While they lack the inherent power of elite Saiyans, they possess significant physical strength and combat abilities, making them formidable warriors compared to most other species. They have the ability to transform into a Great Ape under a full moon, greatly increasing their power which they utilize to gain a massive advantage against their foes. Though often considered expendable and assigned to low-priority missions, they are resilient and determined, gaining strength and experience through battles and near-death encounters. Their lower social status results in fewer resources and training opportunities, and they typically lack the advanced tactics that higher-class saiyans possess, simply relying on brute strength.
