I picture Zarel to be modeled more after an Eastern dragon if anything, sort of like Shenron, but still with some aspects of the original Zarel. However he might be completely changed in DBZ, as I have a few new plans for his appearance, modeling him after back in the day when Zarel was a Homestar Runner OC and he had a 20X6 variant.

So here's my shot at the DBZ style. Eyes were inspired by Goku.
