When you say create the shape what do you mean? A sprite with that shape or a collision shape with that shape or something else?

A 3D meshinstance and collisionshape with that shape. Doesn't have to exactly be like in the diagram, I'm just asking how to create a concave surface in 3D.

If you create a collision polygon2d you can then trace out any shape you want. The more points of reference you use the more smooth the concave or convex surface will be. In principle a rounded edge is just a polygon with an infinite number of points. If you really wanted you could use calculus to create a curve with a very large number of points which you could program in but in practice I am not sure you would ever need to actually do that.
