Porunga
 |
Porunga, the Namekian Dragon, also known as Super Shenron |
Porunga (ポルンガ) is a
dragon character from the
Dragon Ball manga/
anime series.
Porunga is the eternal dragon of
Namek summoned when all the
dragonballs of Namek are gathered. He is more brutal looking than the dragon of
Earth,
Shenron, with a heavily muscled upper body. He is also somewhat stronger and can grant three wishes instead of one, so long as it doesn't exceed his creators power, his creator is still alive, and each request is delivered in the
Namekian language.
Initially, Porunga had ability to bring only one person back to life (though he could bring people back multiple times), as compared to
Shenron who can bring back an unspecified number of people but can only do so once. Later, Porunga's power is strengthened to bring back as many lives as needed. A powerful god known as the Ancient
Kai criticized this as "a blasphemous act that disrupts the order of the nature," but did not seem to mind after that.
