Shenron, the eternal dragon summoned by the Dragon Balls, is one of the most iconic figures in Dragon Ball. Unlike biological beings, Shenron qualifies for Inorganic Physiology (Type 1), as he is created from a non-living model and brought to life through divine power (supernatural means). This thread will focus on Shenron's Inorganic Physiology, showcasing his origins and the process of his creation.
Living Beings: Inorganic beings that have a non-physical consciousness. For example, objects that were granted life via supernatural means.

Creation Process
Shenron's creation involves a series of steps, where Mr. Popo molds a small figure of Shenron, and Kami (God) breathes life into it.

The process is shown in multiple sources:
Dragon Ball Manga - Chapter 165:

Daizenshuu 4 - World Guide:
The method of making Shenlong, who was created by God

Kanzenshuu - Dragon Ball Q&A
Artificial Humans & Cell Arc Volume #05

Who made the Dragon Balls?

Key points:
  • Model Construction: Mr. Popo carefully molds a small figure of Shenron, which resembles a toy or model.
  • Divine Power Infusion: Kami (God) infuses this inanimate object with divine energy, bringing Shenron to life.

Potentially Upgraded to Other Shenron
Daizenshuu 7 - Human Racial Dictionary:

Dragon Ball Manga - Chapter 214:

Daizenshuu 4 - World Guide:

Based on previous statements this should also scale to other Shenron profiles:
  • Porunga
  • Ultimate Shenron
  • Super Shenron
  • Dark Shenron

Additional Evidence:
“In Daizenshuu 4, Shenron is described as appearing as a light running in the darkness.”
This manifestation as light does not contradict Inorganic Physiology. Shenron's true form resides within the model crafted by Mr. Popo, and the light is simply how Shenron materializes when activated by the Dragon Balls. This transformation into light represents an energy-based manifestation, aligning with the concept of Inorganic Physiology, where entities do not rely on organic processes to exist. Conversely, Shenron is described as a light running in the darkness, reinforcing his status as a non-organic being, which is consistent with Inorganic Physiology.

This should also give Shenron some immunity through Inorganic Physiology:
  • Immunity to:
Biological Manipulation, Disease Manipulation & Poison Manipulation
