Main Scenario
In approximately Age 725, the militaristic Saiyans waged war against the scientific Tsufruians for control over Planet Plant. Near the end of this war, Doctor Raichi created Hacchi Hyack to capture and recycle the rage energy expelled by his dying kinsmen. Just before his lab was overrun and he was killed, he launched Hacchi Hyack into space. In the decades that followed, Hacchi Hyack absorbed the rage energy of those defeated by Saiyans. This included not only his own creator (now reborn as a "ghost warrior"), but also beings defeated by Saiyans unconnected to the original conflict such as Freeza, Coola, Slug, and Tullece.
By Age 767, Hacchi Hyack had nearly absorbed enough energy to become his own life form. Doctor Raichi launched an attack on Earth to finally defeat the final remaining Saiyans: Son Goku, Son Gohan, Vegeta, and Trunks. Goku and his friends successfully stopped Raichi's plot and defeated the scientist. Raichi's rage at his second death was enough to fully power Hacchi Hyack and transform him into a humanoid shape. Although Hacchi Hyack was strong, Goku and the others discovered his weakness (a short period of vulnerability prior to an attack), and were able to defeat the newly-created life form.

Name
Hacchi Hyack's Japanese name of ハッチヒャック (Hatchihyakku) is likely derived from the term for "greengrocer" — 八百屋 (yaoya) — in line with the battle of the Saiyans (pun on vegetables) vs. Tsufruians (pun on fruits). More specifically, the kanji of 八 in the term for greengrocer could also be read as hachi, while the 百 could be read as hyaku. For the character's name, a elongated/double-consonant sound is added both in the first part (ハチ to ハッチ) and second part (ヒャク to ヒャック), altering it as a spelling from the original source term.
When the character was resurrected after 17 years for the video game Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 (as a playable character in the game, as well as a major focus in the animated remake of the original story, now entitled "Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans"), the character was given a name spelling of "Hatchiyack" by Bandai Namco for the English localization.
