Future Trunks makes a wish to summon a warrior strong enough to defend history, resulting in Shenron summoning of the Future Warrior to fulfill Trunks' wish. In Dragon Ball Xenoverse, Shenron is summoned by Future Trunks in Toki Toki City in Age 850.

Dende also creates many more sets of Dragon Balls (and thus many more Shenrons) and spreads them across the planet, dividing the original Dragon Balls power between them.
However, around Age 1000, due to the threat of the Time Breakers, Dende reactivates them in hope of encouraging Earthlings to become stronger, bringing Shenron back but limiting the wishes.

Four months later, after Frieza has been defeated, Bulma says she'll gather the Dragon Balls to revive North City, the city Frieza destroyed upon arriving on Earth. For the second wish, Shu told Shenron to give him 1,000,000 zeni making the Pilaf Gang rich. At first Shenron didn't make the request because Frieza's body was cut into pieces by Trunks over 14 years ago, but they told him to just revive him anyway. Tagoma and Sorbet used the Dragon Balls to revive the Emperor Frieza. Shenron warning Sorbet for yelling at him. Before the events of Dragon Ball, the last time Shenron was summoned was to grant someone's wish to become king, as Bulma explains to Goku in their first meeting. Shenron is said to live in the fiery center of the Earth, whenever he is called he will arrive to grant one wish before returning to his fiery home to sleep until he is called again. Shenron was clearly displeased when Yamcha proposed wishing for a necklace. Aside from his impatience with indecisive summoners, Shenron is displeased by frivolous wishes, which he considers wasteful. While Shenron is respectful to those who summon him, he is easily offended. Shenron is also obligated to fulfill an ill-advised wish if the summoner insists, such as reviving Frieza in an incomplete form. For example, Shenron responded to the Pilaf Gang's wish for youth by transforming them into young children. However, he has been known to occasionally follow wishes to the letter and not the spirit. He will also advise against what he considers impractical wishes and propose an alternative. Shenron is normally very courteous, speaking politely and doing his best to grant a wish in a way that will bring the most joy to the summoner.
Like most mortals and deities, Shenron is terrified and fearfully respectful towards Beerus, the God of Destruction of Universe 7 to the point he scattered the Dragon Balls immediately after informing Goku how to perform the ritual to create a Super Saiyan God. Shenron is shown to have a temper, and he once threatened to kill a summoner if they do not make their wish soon (although he has only actually attempted to attack someone in Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might, where Gohan's friendly dragon Icarus tries to attack Shenron). His kind are good at heart, but as a strong dragon, Shenron has an aggressive temper, and is impatient sometimes (for some reason more so than Porunga, the Namekian dragon).
Unlike the Western dragons, which have large dorsal foldable wings on their backs, he has none. He is an Eastern dragon, whose kind are benevolent and sacred in Oriental mythologies.
Shenron is shown with brown antlers, sharp teeth, green scaly skin, red eyes, four toes on each foot, a long serpentine body (his tail takes up three-fourths of his length), long flowing whiskers, a long snout, crescent-shaped nostrils, and flowing green hair on his cheeks.
