Nothing material can survive the temperatures of a fusion reaction, at 100 million K in does not matter what the reactor is made of if the fusion plasma touches the reactor wall, that is why they use magnetic fields for containment. A genetically engineered creature like a bioroid could use symbiotic bacteria to grow the components of a fusion reactor within it, using a process similar to the development of bug gems.
