Q.  What's a Saiyan?  A Super-Saiyan?

A.  A Saiyan comes from the planet Vegeta (also spelled "Saya-Jin" and "Saiya-Jin").  They possess great strength and abilities.  Born with a tail, they transform into destructive gorillas at the sight of a full moon.  Sayains are able to increase their power to amazing levels by using the pain they feel from loss.

A Super-Saiyan is a Saiyan who has basically stepped it up to the next level.  Goku reaches the level of Super-Saiyan 3 near the end of DBZ.  His power is so intense at this level that he can only maintain it for short amounts of time.
