The creature now called the droidbreaker, previously referred to as the swamphulk, originated from the world of Belgaroth. Due to the rampant pollution and extensive scrapyards that overtook its home planet, the droidbreaker underwent a rapid evolutionary adaptation within a single generation to thrive in its altered environment. Its diet primarily consisted of plasteel and various processed metals, which resulted in the droidbreaker developing into a massive, shadowy presence that haunted the numerous scrapyards scattered across the planet's surface. The meat of the droidbreaker could be prepared as a droidbreaker steak, a dish notable for its high iron concentration stemming from the creature's metallic-rich sustenance.
