Baby (Dragon Ball)

"No matter how much a monkey evolves, its still a monkey."

Baby is a parasitic alien life form from the anime Dragonball GT. He was created by combining DNA from the king of the Tuffle race, and a robotic body.

History
He was created by Dr. Myuu, and possesses a hatred for the Saiyans, who killed off the Tuffles, and took over their planet (Planet Vegeta). Goku, Pan, and Trunks first saw Baby in Dr. Myuu's Lab, and Trunks destroys its incubator. However, baby was not destroyed, instead Trunks had some Tuffle put into him, and Baby was in space.

Eventually, Baby came upon Earth, where the most amount of Saiyans were left. Baby began to infect the people of the planet except for Hercule and Buu, and took several of the Z warriors over, eventually settling on Vegeta as his host. Goku fights Baby once he returns to the brainwashed Earth, and even by going super saiyan 3 he cannot defeat him.

Baby launches a final attack at Goku, who is teleported away at the last second. Baby believes Goku to be dead, so he uses the Black Star Dragonballs to wish for a new Tuffle Planet. After Uub, Goku's student and friend arrives and merges with Buu to become Majuub and Baby turns Majuub into chocolate and ate him up, Goku goes to the planet to fight him once more, and despite new power he cannot defeat him. Goku then turns into a Golden Great Ape and rampages before Goku turning into a Super Saiyan 4.



Baby was no match for Super Saiyan 4 Goku, as even his strongest punch only tickles Goku. A Tuffle-infected Bulma brings out a Blutz-Wave Amplifier to help Baby, and by using it Baby becoming a Golden Great Ape. Goku continues to fight, and is able to defeat Baby with the help of Gohan, Goten, and Trunks (who are free of Baby's infection), Hercule, Majuub (who is now out of Baby's body), and his granddaughter, Pan.

Baby leaves Vegeta's body and enters a spaceship hoping to escape, but Goku uses a x10 Kamehameha and sends his ship into the sun, completely obliterating him before the Z-Warriors returned to the lookout with Goku using his Instant Transmission and Kibito Kai using the Sacred Water to free everybody from Baby's infection before Goku and the Z-Warriors discover that the Earth will explode in two weeks due to Baby using the Black Star Dragonballs to make another wish.

Programming
The King of the Tuffles created Baby to get revenge on the Saiyans and try to repopulate the Tuffle race (by force).

This programming had the Tuffles became no better than the Saiyans and thus became the very thing that they hate.

Irony
Baby became the very thing he hated and thus destroying the Tuffle race's good name. Even though the Saiyans destroyed the Tuffle race, they were not responsible for Baby's actions. It should also be noted that Baby is one of the only villains in the series that Goku goes out of his way to kill. He did not even do that to Frieza. That said, Baby had completely spurned the multiple chances for peace Goku often offered opponents, hid behind Goku's possessed friends, and made reckless use of the most dangerous version of the Dragon Balls. To allow Baby to get away was to doom everyone the villain encountered thereafter, and unlike many other opponents, he would not lie low, even for a moment. The irony becomes that Baby managed to so enrage the most charitable champion imaginable.
