There is also Majin Ozotto, a Super Monster who dwells on the Green Planet. This type of Majin possess the special trait of shapeshifting into a foe and copying their signature abilities. The Super Monster is also capable of undergoing a transformation, becoming rotund and growing extra arms from its chest.
There are also the - called Phantasm in the English subs - with the only example being Hirudegarn, who was created from a statue of a Demon God by a clan of evil wizards who infused it with evil, turning into a living monster. It evades attacks by turning into ectoplasm, using its tail to absorb the energy of living beings, and breathing fire. The Phantom Majin has displayed two forms.
Numerous different Majin aside from those of the Demon Realm Race also inhabit the Demon Realm. Majin who resemble various types of animals live in the Third Demon World, and there is also Werewolf type of Majin. The Gendarmerie are all members of a yellow-eyed purple Majin race. Hybis and Peral are also Majin from the Demon Realm who do not resemble the Demon Realm Race sub type of Majin.
;Supreme Kai
It is revealed in Dragon Ball Fusions that Majin can serve as Supreme Kai, though there is only one known example: Ratopa, who served as Supreme Kai long ago but eventually quit.
During the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga, Good Buu awakened the ability to transform into Grand Supreme Kai after gaining access to the Grand Supreme Kai's memories. However Good Buu lacks the full godly power of Grand Supreme Kai as a majority of it remained with Kid Buu after they split. As a result, when the Grand Supreme Kai came to Uub, the reincarnation of Kid Buu, he was able to help Uub use this power to grant Goku ki.
==Forms and Transformations==
The Demon Realm Race and Buu's subspecies both have multiple different forms. Multiple Majin aside from those who make up those two races have also displayed transformations however.
===Super Monster's transformation===
Majin Ozotto (the Super Monster) is shown to be capable of a transformation unique to his Majin type. In his transformed state he becomes much more rotund, and he grows an extra pair of arms.
===Phantom Majin transformation===
Phantom Majin like Hirudegarn are shown to be capable of evolving into a new state, with Hirudegarn taking on his transformation after being taken down by Gotenks, this form is much stronger and grants the Phantom Majin wings in order to allow flight.
In some games, the host of the Phantom Majin can fully transform into the beast if they choose to, or when overtaken by it.
In Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission, if the Phantom Majin is freed from his hosts by resonating with the dark evil ki emitted by those empowered by Villainous Mode he can reform fully evolved into his transformed state.
===Werewolf===
The Werewolf Majin have the ability to switch between their humanoid and wolf forms at will.
