Dragonballs
The eternal dragon
Shenron was originally a model made by Mr. Popo. Kami's assistants'
passion was creating things such as models, and he had made a small
structure of a Dragon, only about the size of a hand. He asked Kami if
he could use his almost unlimited power to give life to his creation,
and God agreed. Kami had created the Dragonballs to go along with
this, and for the Dragon to be summoned, all four must be collected.
If Shenron is killed, then the model brakes, and you can't revive
Shenron or use wishes until it is fixed. The plus side is that it can
be mending easily and almost instantly. After Shenron's first death,
Kami wasn't going to revive him, but after he saw how pure Goku's wish
was, he decided on keeping the Dragon for people like him.
Earth's Dragonballs
- There are 7 dragonballs.
- Each one is fairly small in
size, they only have the circumference of a large tennis
ball.
- There is a password which
you must know before you can call out Shenron.
- The four star dragonball is
meant to represent bravery.
- The Eternal Dragon is called
Shenron.
- Shenron is a large,
serpent-like dragon, with green scales, and eyes that
flash red when granting a wish. It is more like the ones
that are well known from fantasy lands.
- It is in Shenron's power to
grant a wish to whoever collects all the dragonballs and
summons him.
- Shenron can grant just about
any wish, with only a few limitations.
- Shenron is unable to revive
people who have already been wished back before, he can't
revive anyone who has died longer than a year ago.
- You can't wish for someone
to die, or fall in love with you.
- Shenron is capable of
resurrecting massive amounts of people at once, for just
one wish.
- The creator of the Earth's
dragonballs is Kami (NOTE: This statement is correct for
the start of DBZ)

days for the dragonballs to regenerate (An Earth year)
- When Shenron is summoned the
sky turns black, and lots of things happen.
- Shenron was constructed from
a model which Kami gave life to.

Namek's Dragonballs
- There are 7 dragonballs,
just like Earth
- Each Namekian ball is a lot
heavier and larger than the Earth ones - They have a
circumference which is about equal to a football.
- The password is known only
by the Namekian elder, and anybody he tells
- The Eternal Dragon is named
Porunga
- Porunga looks like a
human/dragon hybrid, with the green scales, and face of a
dragon, but the arms and a chest of a very muscular human.
- Porunga looks as though he
is coming from a lamp, like a genie, because the bottom
half of him keeps getting thinner until it reaches the
ground.
- Porunga will grant wishes to
anyone who asks after he has been summoned
- Porunga can grant three
wishes, but can only revive one person at a time
- Porunga can revive people
who already been wished back an infinite number of time.
- You can't wish for someone
to die, or fall in love with you.
- You need to make the wish in
Namekian for Porunga to grant it.
- Guru was the creator of the
Namekian dragonballs (NOTE: This was correct at the time
of the Freiza saga)
- It takes 130 days (A
Namekian year) for the dragonballs to regenerate.
- When Porunga is summoned the
sky turns black, and lots of things happen.
