godan verbs ending in nu besides shinu
The only two ぬ verbs are 死{し}ぬ _"to die"_ and 往{い}ぬ・去{い}ぬ _"to go somewhere;
to go away"_. Note that _inu_ is obsolete, and is not used in modern Japanese.
This verb thus technically is not _godan_ , but rather _yodan_ , as it has no
_-o_ ending in the Classical Japanese conjugation paradigm.

There is a bit more information at [the Japanese Wikipedia's article on the
ナ変{へん} or ナ行{ぎょう}変格{へんかく}活用{かつよう} ( _na_ -row irregular
conjugation)](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%8A%E8%A1%8C%E5%A4%89%E6%A0%BC%E6%B4%BB%E7%94%A8).

In current Japanese, just 死ぬ{しぬ} according to
[this](http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q13121386318).
