Description
Saibaimen
Born: AGE 718 (created)
Race: Saibaimen
Home: Planet Plant (created)
Occupation: Pocket Plant Warriors
Goals: Fight, fight, fight, fight!
Forms:
Drone, Grunt, Elite, Prophet, Brute, King
Bio:
During Kuriza’s rule of the organization, development of the Saibaiman project continues. In AGE 769, the “Elite” generation of the creatures are completed. These Saibaimen are far superior to the previous versions. Their size and power were increased yet again, but this time around so was their intellect, making them capable of advanced strategies in combat. Their natural lifespan remains unchanged at a measly 6 months.
As the scientists continue to tweak the creatures, a conflict in opinions arises. They split in two teams, each focusing on developing the traits they deem important for the next upgrade. In AGE 776, the two teams' results are shown off with the completion of the "Brute" and "Prophet" class Saibaimen. The Brute class have had their intelligence lowered in comparison to all previous generations of Saibaimen, but have had both their power and durability increased drastically. However, the increase in muscle mass and decrease in intelligence has caused them to suffer a loss of speed and reaction time. Meanwhile, the Prophet class have had their physical abilities decreased in exchange for a drastic increase in their mental abilities. They are used as commanders in battle and tend to stick near their planter so they can telepathically relay orders to other Saibaimen classes across great distances, allowing changes in battle strategies on the fly. Both of their natural lifespans have been limited to 2 months.
In AGE 779, Gichamu’s curiosity gets the better of him. After Freeza is resurrected on Earth, the scientist secretly obtains a sample of the tyrant’s DNA before he’s placed into a rejuvenation chamber. He integrates parts of the obtained genetic information into the project with the dream of creating the world's most powerful Saibaiman...and he succeeded. The resulting “King” class is extremely unstable. They have incredibly short lifespans of just a week and are almost feral in nature. Its extreme aggression causes it to attack indiscriminately, rendering it useless for missions. Gichamu deems this development path a failure and plans to scrap it entirely. However, word of its existence makes its way up to newly healed Freeza. The tyrant decides he needs to train to defeat the Super Saiyans, and these new creatures will make effective partners for him, and his organization’s elites.
Saibaimen sets are issued to all Planet Shark squads in the event low-level support is needed quickly, such as when a job takes a surprisingly difficult turn. Included in the set are a dozen Drone seeds, a dozen Grunt seeds, six Elite seeds, six Brute seeds, and two Prophet seeds, along with a vial of special growth-fluid. The seeds are simply buried in the ground and sprinkled with a small amount of the fluid. After a short wait, the Saibaimen sprout from the ground fully grown. Drones, Grunts, and Elites have a special trait that causes their power to fluctuate, within a certain range, based on the nutritional state of the soil they are planted in. As specialty types designed to fulfill specific roles in battle, the Brutes and Prophets abandon that “feature”.
Notes:
The Saibaimen designs are taken from a little bit of everywhere. The original manga, Dragon Ball Online, Dragon Ball Z Sagas, Dragon Ball Fusions, various other games for the pallets, etc. As with the previous sheet, I decided to embrace the absurd for the original Saibaiman designs and include basically every color variation I could, right down to Cocoaman and the Saibai Rangers. So I changed my previous "color = Battle Power range" lore for the Saibaimen that I had. As explained above, nutrient level accounts for strength, while chemical composition of the soil accounts for the colors themselves. There would likely be some correlation crossover with that, but I'm not about to sit down and make a list of what elements result in what colors and if said elements are beneficial for plant growth. lol
The Saibaiking's original color scheme was bad. It's just bad. The only reason it looks okay in the game itself is because Fusions is full of lots of bad designs with bad colors. So after trying to honor the original colors for my version, I ultimately decided to abandon them in favor of using colors taken from Freeza since this version of the character uses the Emperor of Evil's DNA.

Thank you, and please enjoy!

I stumbled across this while researching the various saibamen colours that have appeared across the franchise. I find your ideas pretty cool.
I would like to ask, though, what was the inspiration for the differently coloured crotch pieces? I know the differently coloured midriffs are probably inspired by saibamen having black midriffs in the full colour manga version and the anime had at least one scene with a colouring error depicting the midriffs in a darker green while the Budokai 1 and 2 games use lighter colours for the midriffs on their colour variants (anime also had at least one scene depicting one with a lighter green midriff too), but I don't know what would have inspired the black crotch piece here.
