Shenron is the dragon that is called forth when the Earth dragonballs are collected and the chant, "Come forth Eternal Dragon, and grant my wish!". He was created by Kami and again called forth by Dende, who used Shenron for his set of dragonballs after Kami and Piccolo fused into one again. Under Kami, Shenron was not very strong only able to grant one wish per summoning and only able to revive someone from death. But later Piccolo Daimo (Kami's Evil half) destroyed, luckily the figurine was not hurt and Kami resurrected the dragon, this time more powerful because Kami's power had increased. After the resurrection, Shenron was larger and could grant much more powerful wishes. Shenron was again killed when Kami and Piccolo fused back into their original form, this made the Current Shenron inactive but revived Kami and Piccolo's first dragon, the dragon of the Black Star Dragonballs. But Earth still needed a dragon, so Dende was brought from Namek to become the new guardian of Earth and revive Shenron. This time Shenron was enchanted with more power then ever before and was able to grant two wishes at one time and revive multiple people at a time. Shenron is last seen when he fuses with Goku at the end of Dragonball GT.

Porunga was the first dragon created and is one of the strongest dragons ever created. He is summoned after the 7 Namek dragonballs are collected and the namekian chant is said. He was created by an Unknown Namek before Planet Namek's apocalyptic years under the storms and drought. He was then revived by Guru when Guru created his set of dragonballs. Guru was the creator that named Porunga and also made him exceptionally powerful. Porunga is able to grant 3 wishes at one time and revive multiple people per wish. Porunga is only destroyed again when Guru dies on Planet Earth. Guru's predecessor, Muuri, revives Porunga to be the dragon of New Namek's dragonballs. The amount of power Muuri bestows upon Porunga is uncertain but it is thought to be stronger then that of which Guru bestowed upon him.
