In a post-apocalyptic world, where almost everything is destroyed by robot driven wars, only the smallest of organisms survived. Over time, these organism found a way to merge with the remains of the robots, resulting in the Isopoda Vultur Robotica: a creature that is both organic and robotic. Feeding on the waste and garbage of centuries of human domination, they slowly clean the earth and filter pollution out of the air, giving nature the change to revive again.
