Beenz

The Beenz were a race of small, highly intelligent humanoid aliens, standing roughly three to four feet tall. Their homeworld, Planet Beenz, produced a species known more for their mental capabilities than their physical stature. By the time of Dragon Ball Z, the Beenz were long extinct, reduced to nothing more than fossils. Their name is a play on "beans," following the vegetable naming convention that runs through much of Dragon Ball's alien nomenclature. What little is known about their biology suggests a fruit-based diet and a capacity for intelligence that far exceeded their small frames.

The only known members of the Beenz race are the brothers Rasin and Lakasei, who appear in the film Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might. Turles, the rogue Saiyan who sought to plant the Tree of Might on Earth and consume its fruit, assembled a crew of powerful warriors from across the galaxy. Among them were the Beenz brothers, whom Turles had revived from fossilized remains using extracts from the Tree of Might. This resurrection gave the brothers a second chance at life, albeit one spent entirely in service to Turles' conquest.

Rasin and Lakasei fought as a coordinated pair, using their intelligence and teamwork to compensate for their small size. During the battle on Earth, they engaged the Z Fighters as part of Turles' crew. Despite their cleverness, they were ultimately defeated along with the rest of the group when Goku destroyed the Tree of Might and overcame Turles.

With the deaths of Rasin and Lakasei, the Beenz became extinct for the second time. Their story is uniquely tragic even by Dragon Ball standards: an entire species reduced to fossils, briefly resurrected through unnatural means, and then snuffed out again within the span of a single battle. No other members of the race were ever shown or mentioned, and Planet Beenz itself is never visited in the series. The Beenz brothers remain a curious footnote in the franchise, a reminder that the Dragon Ball universe is littered with lost civilizations that existed and vanished long before the events of the main story began.
