Changlong... Freeza's race?

[Rayodball]

A few minutes ago I found a video on Youtube arguing already knew the name of Frieza's race, which was "Changlong".
At first I did not believe and decided to find more information on the Internet, but I find that several sites mention it.

Is this true? What book appears this information?
Thanks for your time.

Are you sure it's not a corruption of "changeling"? Toriyama had already dropped the pseudo-Chinese stuff by the "Z" era.

That said, I don't recall if it's ever been stated whether his is a race of Changelings-with-a-capital-C, or "changelings" as a general descriptor of what he and his relatives are capable of doing with their bodies.

In short: don't waste your time arguing with idiots on YouTube. I know I have already spent far too much...

Arcosian, Ice-jin, Changeling... the list goes on. There never has been an official name for what Frieza's race is called.

I understand ...
It became rare to find that in the network because I never saw it mentioned in the series, manga or official book. And with the emergence of HEROES game in Japan, I assumed that perhaps they mentioned it since there are 3 new characters with characteristics similar to those of Freeza and his family.

"Freeza Clan" is what is used for the game, and is probably the closest thing we are going to get for an official name of their race.

...though I'd love for one of the upcoming Chozenshuu volumes to surprise me.

I've always preferred the term Frost Demon when referring to Freeza's race.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Personally, I don't like how most of the fan names are so blunt. So I adopted Raiokutian as my fan term for the race, using Toriyama's yasai/saiya anagram approach on cryo/kuraio.

I just know his "race" as icejinn. Makes sense since all of his family's names seem to be composed of things having to do with cold.

While it's true that the only two canon members of Freeza's species (and two of the three non-canon members) have name puns associated with cold, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's something associated with the entire race. It could be no different than just a tradition that all the male members of Freeza's family line are named after that (would be similar to, say, me starting a tradition where my first born daughter is named after a flower, and her first born daughter would be named after a flower, and so on). We can't exactly make assumptions about an entire race based on a very small, family unit with (as said) only two canon members.

Besides, what would we make out of Kuriza, Freeza's son? Though he's technically non-canon, he was a creation of Toriyama's for Neko Majin Z, and that already puts him on higher standing of sorts than Chilled for example. Kuriza's name isn't based on a pun associated with ice or cold or anything like that. It's based on a chestnut (which explains the shape of his head).

"Freeza's Clan" is the closest official name we have to his race right now, and that works for me.

Frieza's clan, Frieza's race, or Frieza's tribe, that's the possible translations of the name used for the race in DBH

[Smochi]

He's a Freeza. XD I've heard Changeling and Ice-jin a lot I think in the hero's game they just call it Freeza's Race.

Freeza has never been given any official name regarding what kind of alien he is. In fact, when asked about his race, Toriyama said that he probably doesn't even have a race, but is some sort of hybrid.

That would explain why Freeza, Cold and Coola look different.

Which means he is an offspring resulting from cross-breeding of two different race, this means he has two races (or more if his parents are also hybrids).

I've always wondered how the chilly family reproduced, I'm not sure if Fureeezuqua is man enough down there. Especially since we've seen him naked.

I've said it before. Kuriza IS a cold pun. One of the medical words for the common cold, coryza, is pronounced almost identically. It may be a coincidence, but I don't care.

But...when people say Freeza's family have a "cold" theme, they mean "cold" as in low temperures, not the illness (and the two aren't even homonyms in Japanese). Well, I guess if you don't care, you don't care.
