The Namekian Dragon Balls before being used to summon Porunga
Namekian Dragon Balls are the set of Dragon Balls created by Grand Elder Guru on Namek. These Dragon Balls are similar to the ones on Earth in powers and appearance. However, the Namekian ones are as large as basketballs; Krillin was surprised how big the Namekian Dragon Ball were in comparison to the Earth's Dragon Balls while he was on Namek.
OverviewEdit[]
The Four-Star Dragon Ball at Tsuno's village
There are two extra precautions taken on the Namekian Dragon Balls; the summoner is required to utter a Namekian password in order to summon the Dragon of Dreams, Porunga. The other precaution is that the wishes must be spoken in the Namekian language. Once Porunga is summoned, he has the ability to grant three wishes, that are somewhat different in powerful to Shenron's wishes. For example, Porunga could only revive one person at a time while Shenron could revive an infinite number of people at a time (though he was eventually modified to do mass revivals after the Frieza Saga), but Porunga can grant the same wish as many times as the summoner pleases.
The time the Namekian Dragon Balls take to restore is 130 days, not like the 365 days required for the Dragon Balls on Earth, as a year for the planet Namek lasts only 130 Earth days.
HistoryEdit[]
Occasionally, the Namekians hold games in which the winner can get the Dragon Balls to have his wishes granted. Sometime before going to Earth, Vegeta and Nappa discover Namek and its Dragon Balls. After hearing a conversation between Vegeta and Nappa, Frieza went to Namek with his soldiers in order to get the Dragon Balls and wish for immortality. He starts killing the Namekians of every village on the planet for the Dragon Balls, until Moori destroys all his scouters.
When Guru passed from heartbreak, the Dragon Balls transformed into stone, rendering them utterly useless as they are a part of Guru. However, after he and the other Nameks were revived by the Earth Dragon Balls, and before Guru passed of old age, he passed on his role of maintaining the Namekian Dragon Balls (which had travelled from the dying Planet Namek to Earth) to Moori, so the Dragon Balls won't die with him and give his people a chance to find a new planet and repopulate.
