Types[]
Demon Realm Race[]
The Demon Realm Race of Majin is made up of a large number of pointy-eared humanoids whose skin comes in a variety of colors, most commonly shades of blue or red.
Buu's subspecies[]
Buu's subspecies of Majin (魔人族 Majin-zoku, lit. "Magical People Race" or "Demon People Race") all originate from the original Majin Buu.
Artificial[]
Nox, a battle enhanced Majin
Multiple different types of artificially created Majin appear, most are created via Magic.
Depending on the source, Majin Buu is the most notable of these, as he was allegedly created by Bibidi.[1][2] However in Dragon Ball Daima, it is revealed that Marba is the one who actually created Buu per Bibidi's request, as he did not possesses the ability to create a Majin.[3] Working with Dr. Arinsu, Marba goes on to create Majin Kuu.[4]
Additionally, there are Fin and the Android Majin - who were created by Towa, as well as the battle-enhanced Majin Nox - who was created by magicians.
Through Earth science Dr. Gero created a hybrid Majin; Android 21 who is a new type of Bio-Android with cells from both Majin Buus as well as Frieza, Cell, the Z Fighters and countless researchers.
Ogre[]
Ogres are a race of Majin who inhabit the Devil's Castle on Earth, though many also exist in the Demon Realm.
- Supreme Kai
Ratopa, a former 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.
Other[]
Several different Majin exist on Earth, including, the Teapot Genie, as well as the Spring Majin and his variants - the Ensei Majin and Gogyo Majin.
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.
The Phantom Majin, Hirudegarn
There are also the Phantom Majin (幻魔人 genmajin) - 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.
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.
