Super Shenron

is the Eternal Dragon who appears when the Super Dragon Balls are gathered.
In the English dub, it is said that this divine dragon is Zalama.Funimation dub of Dragon Ball Super episode 31, "Off to See Master Zuno! Find Out Where the Super Dragon Balls Are!"
==Appearance==
Super Shenron is a pure yellow color with a gold tone on his body, has bright crimson eyes, large bat wings instead of the feathery ones around the species he was designed from, coincidently has no legs, and spikes around his tail. He is incomprehensibly gargantuan in size, shown to be many times more colossal than the multiple amounts of galaxies between Universes 6 and 7; this makes him without question the largest Eternal Dragon in the entire Dragon Ball franchise (as well as the biggest creature by far). However, as shown at the end of the Tournament of Power, Super Shenron can in fact decrease his size if he wishes to, as he appeared only slightly bigger than the arena.
According to Beerus, the form they must deliver a wish to is the core of his presence, or rather like the nucleus, instead of having to deliver it to his true massive-sized form.
==Biography==
===Background===
Super Shenron is the . He was made when the Dragon God, Zalama, formed the Super Dragon Balls. To summon the Super Shenron, one must say the phrase, "Come forth, Dragon of the Gods, and grant my wish pretty peas!" ("Dragon of the Gods" is changed to "Divine Dragon" and "Pretty peas" is changed to "Peas and Carrots" in the Funimation dub) in the Divine Language. The wisher must also state their wish in the same language for Super Shenron to grant it.Dragon Ball Super episode 31, "Off to See Master Zuno! Find Out Where the Super Dragon Balls Are!"
===Dragon Ball Super===
====Universe 6 Saga====
Super Shenron is summoned by Whis in the Divine Language. Super Shenron wakes up from his slumber and breaks through his barrier. After he breaks through his barrier, he stretches throughout space and grows larger than multiple galaxies. After Super Shenron concludes, he sends Whis and the others in the cube in his body to get to his core to be able to ask for a wish. Super Shenron only speaks in the divine language, and he commands for a wish to grant. By the order of Beerus, Whis wishes for Universe 6's Earth to be restored and the humans along with it. However, when Bulma asked Beerus what he wished for, Beerus casually answered that he asked for a more comfortable bed, avoiding getting into the topic of his relation to Champa.Dragon Ball Super episode 41, "Come Forth, Divine Dragon! And Grant My Wish, Peas and Carrots!"
===="Future" Trunks Saga====
In the original unaltered timeline, Super Shenron was summoned by Zamasu and granted his wish to switch bodies with Goku.Dragon Ball Super episode 60, "Into the Future Again Goku Black's True Identity Revealed!" In a bonus chapter of the manga, it is revealed that before doing this Zamasu mistakenly assumed Monaka was stronger than Goku causing him to swap bodies with him instead, only to realize his mistake before, ultimately, swapping bodies with Goku. After arriving in Future Trunks' timeline, Goku Black met his counterpart Future Zamasu and they summoned Future Super Shenron to grant Future Zamasu's wish for immortality. He was summoned again by the duo after they traveled another year into the future and granted their wish for the Super Dragon Balls to destroy themselves, killing himself in the process.Dragon Ball Super episode 61, "Zamasu's Ambition The Storied "Project 0 Mortals" of Terror"
Later in the anime, in the Forest of Terror Super Shenron's nucleus appeared as an illusion, summoned by Fortuneteller Baba, to ensnare Goku and his Flying Nimbus. Goku couldn't use his energy to destroy the illusion because he could also destroy the Nimbus cloud. Krillin then attacked the dragon, and Goku got free. Goku and Krillin destroyed the illusion with a combined Kamehameha.Dragon Ball Super episode 76, "Conquer the Terrifying Foes! Krillin's Fighting Spirit Rebounds!"
====Universe Survival Saga====
During the organization of Tournament of Power, the Super Dragon Balls were announced as the prize for the winner of the tournament and consequently, that Super Shenron will be able to fulfill any desire that they asked him.Dragon Ball Super episode 78, "Even the Universes' Gods are Appalled?! The Lose-and-Perish Tournament of Power" At the end of the tournament, Android 17, the last fighter onstage, is granted a wish with the Super Dragon Balls. Super Shenron appears after being summoned by the Grand Minister and uses his power to grant 17's wish - to bring back the erased universes who participated.Dragon Ball Super episode 131, "A Miraculous Conclusion! Farewell Goku! Until We Meet Again!"
===Super Dragon Ball Heroes===
====Universe Creation Saga====
When Fu uses the Universe Tree in a plan to create a new universe, it comes at the consequence of the currently existing universes with its planets and inhabitants being sucked dry of their energy. Beerus and Champa gather the Super Dragon Balls together and summon Super Shenron near Earth, asking him to destroy the tree which he successfully does.Super Dragon Ball Heroes episode 28, "Fierce Battle in the Time Rift! Vegetto vs. Super Fu"
====Demon Invader Saga====
Aeos gather the Super Dragon Balls and summon Super Shenron, asking him to restore the Space-Time back to the way it was before Majin Ozotto intervened.Super Dragon Ball Heroes episode 56, "Unleash! An All-Out Attack! A Silver Meteor Streaks Through The Heavens"
==Second Alternate Timeline==
In the altered future timeline created by Whis warning Future Beerus (in the manga it was Future Mai and Future Trunks traveling to the moment before Future Dabura killed Future Shin to prevent Future Beerus' death, which was sanctioned by Present Beerus), Future Super Shenron presumably still exists.
==Power==
;Manga and Anime
Super Shenron has no apparent limits to what he can do - but only grants only one wish per summoning. In the anime, Beerus noted that he could have wished the dragon to destroy the universe if he wanted to. It was guessed by Vegeta that Super Shenron can resurrect beings and/or Universes erased from existence as he told Cabba that he would bring Cabba and Universe 6 if Team Universe 6 was eliminated from the Tournament of Power. This was proven true as Android 17 wished for all erased universes to be restored and this was noteworthy as it brought back over trillions of beings from seven erased universes.
Whis also speculates that the Dragon could kill even a God of Destruction if it was desired. Frieza also presumes that the Super Shenron could grant him the desire to reign over all Gods. As shown by Zamasu's wishes, Super Shenron can grant body swap wishes, which while similar to Ginyu's Body Change, differ in that the swapped individuals retain their current body's original voice (as Goku Black has the same voice as Goku) and it can only be undone with another wish.
In general, Super Shenron's ability to grant any wish could be dangerous even to his own existence as he could grant a wish for the Super Dragon Balls to be destroyed. Due to conflicting statements, it is unknown if he is more powerful than even Zeno. The two Zenos claimed Super Shenron "can do anything" and "grant anything" and while he has been stated to be capable of granting any wish with no limitations, Zeno has been stated to be completely unsurpassed by anyone, with it being said that there is nothing in the multiverse that is above him. At the very least, in Dragon Ball Super it appears that immortality granted by Super Shenron does not make a person immune to his erase ability, though later in Dragon Ball Heroes it is implied that it does. Super Shenron was, however, the only known being capable of bringing back beings erased by Zeno, as he effortlessly restored all the erased universes, indicating his power probably doesn't fall too far behind Zeno's.
While his abilities as a combatant are unknown, Super Shenron was able to effortlessly gulp down planets in a single bite due to his size, which dwarfs even galaxies.
;Video Games
In Dragon Ball Heroes and World Mission, Super Shenron abilities are more limited due to his nature as the game world incarnation of Super Shenron though he still has a lot of power over the game as wishes made to him often relate to the game or the summoner's Hero Avatar. Additionally, the game world incarnation of the Super Dragon Balls are far less difficult to obtain than the real ones.

==Video Game Appearances==
*Dragon Ball Heroes
*Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission
*Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero
In World Mission, the Super Dragon Balls can be collected and Super Shenron can be summoned to grant one wish from the wish list. It should be noted that the Super Dragon Balls and Super Shenron in World Mission are actually from the SDBH game world and the wishes are entirely game related. Unlike most games that allow the player to make wishes to one of the Eternal Dragons, Super Shenron cannot grant wishes for more Zeni presumably for economic reasons in-universe as the Super Dragon Balls of the SDBH game world are relatively easy to obtain compared to the real Super Dragon Balls.

==Trivia==
*Super Shenron is the second Eternal Dragon in the series who can only grant wishes spoken in a foreign language, Porunga is the first.
**Super Shenron is so far the only Eternal Dragon who will only speak in a different language.
*Super Shenron shares many distinct similarities with the Huanglong from Chinese mythology. Huanglong (lit. "Yellow Dragon", also known as Yinglong/Ouryuu, lit. "Replying Dragon"), was a divine spirit, protector and symbol of the Yellow Emperor. However, the resemblance ends at appearance. There are two carnations of mythology, one stating that Huanglong resides over the four god beasts of Qinglong/Seiryuu, Zhuque/Suzaku, Baihu/Byakko and Xuanwu/Genbu. While the other states that a Dragon requires at least 1500 years of cultivation to become a Yinglong, one of supreme forms of Chinese dragons with winged forearms akin to Super Shenron.
*Super Shenron is the second Eternal Dragon with wings, the first was Black Smoke Shenron.
**Unlike Black Smoke Shenron, Super Shenron's wings are actually connected to his arms.
*Curiously, following the Tournament of Destroyers, when Super Shenron is summoned, he transports the Dragon Team inside of himself to talk to his core for their wish to be granted; however, when he is summoned following the Tournament of Power, he instead talks to them face-to-face (instead of transporting him to his core) for their wish.
*Super Shenron is the second Eternal Dragon that has been killed in the series, the first one being Shenron.
