I choose the Saiya-Jin race because they're, like, the strongest in the whole entire universe and stuff! :P

My personal favorite race are the hybrids, the Half-Human and Half-Saiyan mixes.

Loved how they displayed traits from both sides of their heritage, both emotionally and strength-wise. Creating characters who are neither one race or the other, but some odd mix of the two was a really neat concept to me.

I would probably have to say.... Saiyan.

Being a Namekian would suck, I mean you wouldn't have the pleasures of eating, There wouldn't be the need to argue (very peaceful race), you would have no FUN wink wink if you know what I mean! Plus... You would be a funny green colour like a mutated iguana.

Personally, a Saiyan would have all the advantages excluding the growing limbs thing. You would be very strong, have a high pain threshold, visit some beautiful places and you would have some mighty fine males around you ^_^
-And no I don't mean Nappa yeck.
Plus how cool would it be to have a tail!?

Sorry, but hands down the Saiyans win!

I'm gonna go with Saiyans because they look cool generally and are stronger and they can live longer without growing wrinkles (i think :? ).

Peep the avatar.

And I would totally move to a distant planet and pretend to be a demon lord.

That's viewing Namekians through a human perspective. If you were a Namek, you wouldn't care about those things.

Or to put it another way- my dog loves licking his ass and smelling urine left by other neighborhood dogs. These two activities alone are probably the most exciting aspects of his day. Me? Not being a dog, I do not share his fascination, regardless of how much fun he seems to be having.

Namekians don't experience hunger and they don't get horny. So why would they care about food and sex in the slightest? We only care because our bodies tell us to.
To show my appreciation, I'll only beat them half to death.

Yes I guess thats true, I just don't know what I'd do to fill up the day... read lots of books and grow some plants.
The Saiyans and the Namekians are definately two VERY different races.

Change of subject what breed of dog do you have?

I would have to say...

1) Saiya-jins
2) Cold Family Race (Frieza's family's race)
3) Kaioshins
4) Konatsa-Jins (Tapions race)
5) Namekians

I don't know the name of Frieza's race so if anyone does, please help me out.

It's never been given. I usually see fans call them changelings, and one site called them Icers *shrug*

That's a strange enough name to actually be it...

I've actually wondered if Koola's form is actually beyond Freeza's last form, anyone else think so?

Like it goes "Namek Saga" old-woman-looking-Freeza then to the second stage which would be the same as King Kold's only seen form, then the big spikey Xenomorph looking thing, and Then the smooth tiny one, and theeeen a more amoured looking version, and then the big ass one, both seen as Koola.
That's got to be the explination... And maybe Kuriza/Kreeza's Chestnut head is the child's form?

When we first see Coola that is his 'small white and shiny Freeza' form, then his big crest head form is just the one after which only he has found out how to turn into.

Kuriza looks like he is just the 'old woman Freeza form', but he has a chestnut shaped head, same way Coola and Freeza don't look exactly the same.

Yeah, Coola only had one extra form.

Japanese version- I am able to transform myself one more time than my brother.

English version - As you know, I'm in the third transformed state, but I found a fourth beyond it!

Nice! I haven't seen these movies yet, I only guessed that.
