Tuffle Parasites

The Tuffle ParasitesDragon Ball GT: Transformation, 2005 are the parasitic members of the Tuffle race who serve Baby in Universe 7 and both Kamin and Oren in Universe 6.
==Personality==
The Tuffle parasites exist essentially as clones of Baby infecting the minds and bodies of living organisms. Once infected, they take on the will and consciousness of Baby himself and will do whatever the latter orders them to do. This robs them of free will. Such as when Goku tried to talk to his lifelong friend Bulma, she merely regarded him as an enemy while infected and a Baby possessed Vegeta referred to Goku by his adopted name, something even the latter knows he wouldn't do. Baby himself said that as long as they are infected, they are one with him, suggesting they operate as a hive mind.
==Biography==

====Baby Saga====
The original Tuffle parasite is Baby, who was created on Planet Plant from the DNA of the Tuffle King. After being completed by his Machine Mutant creation Dr. Myuu on planet M-2, Baby attempts to infect everyone on Earth with other Tuffle parasites he spawned inside the Earthlings in order to recreate the Tuffle race. All of the Tuffle parasites (other than Baby) are destroyed when Kibito Kai releases the Sacred Water over the Earth, and Baby is killed when Super Saiyan 4 Goku propels both him and his spaceship into the Sun with a 10x Kamehameha.
