{{ DUDE. (First of all, thank you SO, SO, SO MUCH for sending this in, I appreciate you!!!!) 🥺🖤 Chaos-babeyyyyyyy! (yes that's your nickname now bye LOL).
This is very late, aughhhhhhhh.
Anyhoo, remember when I said some time ago that one of my favorite movie villains is Hatchiyack? Yes, well--
I was talking about this with Ethan some months back (late last year by the time of me publishing this answer), but he helped me come to an amazing conclusion:
If I were to put him/it on my DBZ/S multi-muse, he'd have a full on character arc that would end with him letting go of the hatred he has for Saiyans. The idea blew--and still blows--my mind when I think about it, because with my take on Hatchiyack, it named itself. It's full name is Hatchiyack, The Ultimate Hatred Machine.
It was created by Dr. Raichi (or Lychee, depending on what you prefer) but it finished its own creation process after the murder of its creator. The circumstances that produced Hatchiyack was slow-burning. The accumulation of conflicts and tensions between the Tuffles and Saiyans was characterized by inherent cultural differences, a language barrier, misunderstandings of the other, and (Saiyan) misunderstandings of (Tuffle) technology. The boiling point was when they realized the language and cultural barriers existed, attempted to bridge them and found the differences to be too deep to be reconciled. Long story short--the Saiyans and Tuffles for one reason or another could never truly get along, and their inability to reach a middle ground exacerbated resentment on both sides. Tuffles hated, feared and blamed the Saiyans for destroying large pockets of their homeworld Planet Plant when they arrived. Many Tuffles died and were lost in the crossfires--and landmarks, buildings and zones dedicated to technological and scientific advancement was destroyed, setting the entire planet back "a couple of years". Saiyans not apologizing for their destruction, carnage and wreckage, made this perception of them no better.
Saiyans didn't start actively disliking them until it was discovered that Tuffles were coming into their campsites/land zones (which they claimed as theirs since they didn't see anyone inhabit those areas, on top of not noticing & not caring they might be the reason for that) at night, and taking hair, skin, and clothes samples to study their DNA and where they came from. Many Tuffles were too scared and traumatized by the chaotic landing (spaceships exploding in air that they misinterpreted as attacks, dead bodies falling from the sky, ships crashing through people, buildings, homes, seeing Saiyans fall out of their ships and teach themselves to walk/adjust to their planet's heavy gravity, etc) to approach them directly in broad daylight.
Those Tuffles were perceived as an invasive species in those campsites, and as invaders of their space--so Saiyans caught, killed and ate them. The idea of the Destroyers from Outer Space* being on the same planet as the Tuffles didn't sit right with them. Most Tuffles wanted them off-planet, but would sadly find out the Saiyans' previous homeworld came up with no results--meaning their planet was gone and was why they were there. Co-existence from that point on wasn't easy. Or peaceful. Distrust and prejudice existed on both sides. Discrimination kept happening due to perceived slights. You can guess how the Tuffle-Saiyan war began from these clues and then ended in the Tuffles' Genocide, creating two dangerous pieces of "Tuffle Legacy":
Baby (Renamed to T.P.I for Tuffle Parasitic Interface) and ...Hatchiyack, the Ultimate Hatred Machine.
Hatchiyack, being a purely soul-powered, emotionally-fueled Abomination-Machine, being able to transcend the reason for its creation and the circumstances will never not read as cool to me.
