'''Kurilien''' is a fictional character in the ''Dragon Ball'' franchise, notably designed by [[Akira Toriyama]] and appearing exclusively as an enemy character in the series' first Nintendo Famicom game, ''[[Dragon Ball: The Mystery of Shenlong]]''.

==Biography==
Following his initial search for the Dragon Balls, [[Son Goku]] competes in a kung-fu tournament and later makes his way into space with Bulma's Dragon Radar to track down the four-star ball. [[Toninjinka]] dispatches Kurilien, the "number one assassin in the universe," to exact revenge on Goku. Though given this title, Kurilien is actually quite weak and is easily handled by the player (and therefore Goku) in the game.

Kurilien seemingly makes a second appearance during the last level of the game, Konpei Tower, though he is not directly referred to by name.

==Name==
Kurilien's name (クリリアン, ''Kuririan'') is a clear combination of [[Kuririn]] (クリリン, ''kuririn'') and the English word "alien" (エイリアン, ''eirian'').

==Production==
[[File:kurilien-birdlandpress-designs-edited.png|thumb|250px|[[Akira Toriyama]]'s original design for Kurilien and other characters from ''The Mystery of Shenlong'']]
Kuririan was designed by original ''Dragon Ball'' author Akira Toriyama.

Kurilien's second in-game appearance looks more like Toriyama's character design than he does in Goku's first encounter, with his Oorin Temple uniform clearly depicted in the game sprite.

==Performance==

Kurilien is unvoiced in his one and only appearance.

==Notable Appearances==

Thus far, Kurilien exclusively appears in ''Dragon Ball: The Mystery of Shenlong'' on the Nintendo Famicom.

==Notes==
Alongside two other designs, Akira Toriyama's original design for Kurilien was featured as the ''Dragon Ball Official Site'''s 85th entry in its ''[[The Nearly Complete Works of Akira Toriyama]]'' ongoing weekday column in May 2018.<ref>{{Cite web|URL=https://web.archive.org/web/20180518013030/https://dragonball.news/news/20180518_wx.html|Website=Dragon Ball Official Site|Title="[鳥山明ほぼ全仕事] 平日更新24時間限定公開！2018/05/18"|Date=18 May 2018|AccessDate=06 November 2018}}</ref>
