Nanobot Swarms are the creation of a highly advanced, albeit fallen society of mechanized and robotic beings. The purpose of Nanobot swarms are thought to be the deconstruction of materials, primarily hardened metals that could then be collected and re-purposed. After the mysterious fall of many cybersphere planets, the Nanobot swarms were subsequently released from storage and deep held facilities to wreak havoc on any entity they encountered upon their journey to the surface. True to their original nature, these creatures are incredibly useful in the deconstruction of most materials, making the rare creations highly valued by large cooperation and specific scientific communities.
As efficient as they were upon creation, nanobot swarms having been intended for use in deconstruction of highly durable metals, these nano-machines make even swifter work when seeking to "deconstruct" creatures of organic nature. Capable of chewing threw metals at an alarming rate, even monsters and adventurers with steadfast armor find themselves in highly dangerous situations when swarmed by these tiny mechanized creations. Encounters and combat with these creatures are often sporadic and confusing, the Nanobot Swarm often seeking any other creatures around to attack as opposed to open, focused hostility toward the player. Additionally, the Nanobot swarm releases charges of electricity that leave the Electrified debuff upon damaging a creature.
Nanobot Swarms can be found on any kind of Cyber Spheres, in the atmosphere in elderasteroid, gleamingasteroid, corruptasteroid,
Luna's Lab Notes[]
~ Nanobot swarms are hostile to all other entities, including other swarms of nanobots. Built with the sole purpose of deconstruction, these tiny, unthinking swarms of micro-machines complete their task of deconstructing organic and nonorganic matter without attention to their own safety.
~ This creature possesses 110hp, meaning that it is not as easy as one would think to swiftly deal with the swarm. Additionally, the swarm is only damaged when the small core of the creature is struck, making this a tricky target for both ranged, and melee assaults.
~ The electrified debuff that the creature gives causes an electric aura to surround the player that damages all nearby entities. This means that livestock, NPC's, and other monsters within close proximity can be damaged, or potentially killed while debuffed in this way. As such, this creature is the bane of both colonies, and farming communities.
