Twisted Code: wrong word. Possibly an eggcorn (I think that's what a linguist might call it anyway)?

Saiyans are violent people with dark hair and a monkey tail. They can turn into giant apes.

Despite the similarities between [[humans]] and Saiyans, Saiyans are in fact SPACE ALIENS from the planet Vegeta. Nevertheless, Saiyans-human hybrids exist, and the Saiyan gene pool has probably been slowly diluted because of this. These cross-breeds tend to have all the normal abilities of normal Saiyans.

For whatever reason, a pure-blooded adult Saiyan is doomed to have the same hairstyle for life. Once reaching a certain length (particular to each Saiyan), their hair will simply stop growing unless it gets cut somehow.

===Oozaru===
The hallmark of the Saiyan race is their ability to change into a giant ape when looking at a full moon. On planets where there are multiple moons or the lunar cycle is rapid, this would give them a huge advantage. Fortunately for the rest of civilization, the Cleft only has one moon which runs on a [[Time#Lunar_Cycle|27-day cycle]].

A Saiyan's tail is key to this ability; if the tail is severed they can't transform, although the tail will slowly regrow unless it is pulled out by the root. (There's no in-game way to lose your tail though so don't worry about this too much as a player.)

==History==
Long ago: A contingent of Saiyans falls into the Cleft. They immediately commence pillaging and murdering and stealing everyone's women.

Later: Various Saiyans set themselves up as minor but powerful warlords and national governments are forced to dispatch armies deal with them.

Later Still: Several generations of interbreeding with the local population and the violent deaths of the most powerful Saiyans reduces the power level of the average Saiyan to a fraction of its former glory.

Modern Day: Saiyans have mostly integrated themselves into normal society and can be found here and there across the world.

Saiyans can access their Oozaru form for (40 + level/5) pulses by looking at the sky (''''''look sky'''''') when the moon is full or mostly full. This gives them 20% more HP, +4 to Strength, gives them an extra attack in combat (which stacks with Haste), and makes all normal attacks do 25% more damage. Transforming prevents them from casting spells until it wears off, however.

Saiyans also [[hunger]] twice as fast as other races.

==Hints==

*Although Saiyans become hungry faster than other races, their fullness decreases at the same rate! This makes it more important to select more nutritious food, with a higher satiation-to-fullness ratio.
