Shenron is the Eternal Dragon summoned by gathering the seven Earth Dragon Balls, originally created by the Namekian Kami and later maintained by Dende. As the wish-granting entity tied to these orbs, Shenron manifests as an enormous, serpentine dragon with green scales, red eyes, and a traditional Chinese dragon appearance featuring antlers, flowing whiskers, and a body dominated by a long tail. His summoning dramatically darkens the sky, which reverts to normal once he departs. Operating as a neutral force, Shenron grants one to three wishes per summoning, depending on the era and specific Dragon Ball set. His capabilities are intrinsically linked to his creator's power; wishes cannot affect beings exceeding Kami's strength, such as Vegeta or Frieza during early encounters. He also refuses resurrection for those who died of natural causes or multiple times. After Dende assumed guardianship, Shenron's powers expanded to grant up to three wishes, though reviving large groups reduces this to two. In *Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero*, Piccolo summons Shenron to unlock his latent potential. Shenron addresses Piccolo with extreme deference, using the honorific "Lord," reflecting Piccolo's status as the reunited counterpart of Kami—Shenron's original creator. This highlights Shenron's inherent connection to Namekian lineage and respect for their authority. He grants Piccolo's wish without hesitation, enabling Piccolo's transformation into Orange Piccolo. Typically courteous and patient, Shenron can display impatience with indecisive summoners or frivolous wishes. He often advises on wish feasibility, clarifies limitations, and occasionally proposes alternatives to ensure the summoner's intent is fulfilled optimally. For example, he once corrected a wish for "youth" by transforming the summoners into children, interpreting the wording literally. Shenron's existence faces periodic disruption: King Piccolo killed him after a granted wish for youth, though Kami later revived him. His functionality is also temporarily disabled when Piccolo or Kami dies, as their life forces link to the Dragon Balls. Across various media, including films and spin-offs, Shenron remains a consistent presence, with his role in *Super Hero* being brief yet pivotal to the plot's advancement.
