We know that Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 2, Super Saiyan 3, Super Saiyan God,
Super Saiyan Blue, Super Saiyan Rage, Legendary Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan
Berserker, Super Saiyan Evolution, etc. are all Saiyan transformations, they
can only be achieved by Saiyans. But what about Ultra Instinct? Could a human,
a Namekian, a frost demon, etc. attain it?

Is Ultra Instinct a Super Saiyan transformation or can anyone attain it?


I am not very keen on the Dragon Ball franchise, but based on the [Ultra
Instinct](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Ultra_Instinct) wiki, there are
three individuals who use the Ultra Instinct - Only 1 of them is a Sayian

> Ultra Instinct (身勝手の極意 Migatte no Gokui, lit. Key of Egoism) is a mental
> state used by [Whis](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Whis) and his
> disciples, [Beerus](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Beerus) and
> [Goku](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Goku).

According to each individuals wikis, Whis is of the [Angel
race](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Angel), Beerus is of the [Beeru's
Race](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Beerus%27_Race), and Goku of the
[Sayian race](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Saiyan). Seeing how the ability
is a mental state of the individual, it is quite possible that other races are
able to obtain this ability as well - although the prerequisites are not
entirely clear, even to Goku

> It is not completely clear how this form is attained, not even to Goku
> himself.

However, this ability is also apparently extremely hard to master, even for
gods

> It is notorious among the Supreme Kais and Gods of Destruction for being
> exceptionally difficult to master, even for gods. Goku attains this state
> during the Tournament of Power

The answer to this question can be drawn from a few scenes from Episode 110 of
Dragon Ball Super:

  * Lord Beerus saying what transformation Goku might have gone through:

!["Ultra Instinct..."](https://i.stack.imgur.com/J8ehh.jpg)

  * Lord Champa in shock after hearing what Beerus said:

![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/j8fKD.jpg)

  * The Supreme Kai realizing how Goku's movements linked to what he knew:

!["I see. Those movements..."](https://i.stack.imgur.com/PLsnE.jpg)

  * The Supreme Kai doubting Goku's ability to reach that transformation:

!["But, for a mortal like Son Goku...?"](https://i.stack.imgur.com/R2wdE.jpg)

!["That is a state not even a god can easily
attain."](https://i.stack.imgur.com/JALcN.jpg)

  * The Gods being pressurized by Goku's transformation:

!["It seems to be something rather well-known amongst the
gods."](https://i.stack.imgur.com/5GfJa.jpg)

All this would mean that it's not an exclusive Saiyan trait or transformation,
but an extremely powerful and difficult ability that the Gods and other Omega
level fighters are known to use.
