Tuffles

Tuffles are a race of extraterrestrials found in the Neoverse. Tuffles are the ancestors to Saiyans, and the first race to fully evolve into a humanoid form, notably Saiyans.

Namesake
The Japanese name Tsufuru-jin is a pun. Specifically, it is a Japanese pronunciation of the English word "fruit" (furutsu). This implies their opposition to the Saiyan race, whose name is a pun on the Japanese word for "vegetable" (yasai). The dub name of "Tuffles" possibly linked to "Truffles", another food found in the ground akin to a vegetable. One difference between truffles and other vegetables is that all the names of Saiyans are "plant" vegetables, while truffles are mushrooms, making them fungi and not plants.

Appearance
A Tuffle's appearance can be considered the same as a Human, appearing almost humanoid in shape and size. Their striking difference, is that most tuffles, save a few of them, are blue in skin color.
