en.wikipedia.org Mantrid already consumed the universe in LEXX the dark zone - the whole universe become mantrid arms. The drones had the ability to manufacture more of themselves entirely from local raw material, so soon his ship was accompanied by a substantial number of these drones. He sent some of his drones to follow the Lexx over the course of many episodes to toy with them, destroying any place they visited shortly after they departed and using the raw materials to manufacture exponentially increasing numbers of drones. Soon with countless billions of drones at his disposal, Mantrid begins tearing apart planets and eventually even stars for raw material. By the end of season two Mantrid's drones composed 64% of the mass of the entire Light Zone and were poised to rapidly finish consuming the rest of it. This was an example of an extreme grey goo catastrophe, though the technology involved (antigravity, faster-than-light travel and some form of highly efficient elemental transmutation process) was not particularly plausible in terms of real physics.
