Biography and Story Role

Naturon Shenron, known as Chishinron in Japanese, is the Shadow Dragon born from the Seven-Star Dragon Ball. He was created from the negative energy generated by the wish that revived all the victims of Vegeta's rampage during the Saiyan attack on Earth. His creator in this context is identified as Yamcha, who gathered the Dragon Balls for that particular summon.

In his base form, Naturon Shenron is relatively small and weak compared to the other Shadow Dragons. To compensate, he relies on a parasitic absorption ability that allows him to merge with and take control of other creatures, greatly amplifying his power. He initially absorbs a giant mole, gaining a large burrowing form with enhanced physical strength.

During the Shadow Dragon Saga, Naturon Shenron absorbs Pan after tricking her, gaining access to her considerable power and forcing Goku into a difficult situation where he cannot attack without harming his granddaughter. Goku must find a way to separate Pan from the dragon before he can defeat it.

Abilities and Techniques

Naturon Shenron's primary ability is body absorption. By swallowing or merging with another creature, he takes on their physical attributes and power while retaining his own consciousness and dragon abilities. This makes him potentially one of the more dangerous Shadow Dragons, since his power ceiling depends entirely on who he absorbs.

His earth-element connection grants him control over the ground itself, allowing him to burrow rapidly and attack from underground. When empowered through absorption, he can fire powerful energy blasts and engage in close combat far beyond his natural ability. His "Super Naturon Shenron" form, achieved after absorbing Pan, is strong enough to challenge Goku directly.
