Planet Looters: Difference between revisions

* The [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens|Scrin]] from ''[[Command & Conquer]]'' seed planets with [[Green Rocks|Tiberium]], then wait for the spread of the material to drive the planet's inhabitants into extinction. Then they begin collecting up the Tiberium on the now dead world. Unfortunately for them, they didn't expect GDI and Nod to still be existant when they arrived on Earth. It was [[Xanatos Roulette|all according to]] [[Dark Messiah|Kane]]'s plan.

* Although Lavos from ''[[Chrono Trigger]]'' is more of a [[Planet Eater]], there are shades of this in Lucca's analysis during the final battle sequence, which suggests that it is {{spoiler|collecting and analyzing the planet's evolutionary history in order to make itself more powerful.}}

* ''[[Ecco the Dolphin]]'' kicks off with the title character's entire family being swallowed up by a typhoon that sucks everything from the sea and seafloor, including seashells and rocks. Ecco eventually discovers these storms are caused by a nightmarish alien species called the Vortex that uses Ecco's homeplanet as food source every 500 years, since they've lost their own ability to produce food.

* The Vasari from ''[[Sins of a Solar Empire]]'' have built their whole culture around this. They've been fleeing some threat for ten thousand years, stopping only to strip worlds of materials to build new ships and fuels for the next leg of their journey. The problem arises when they arrive in human space; they loot the both the uninhabitable planets and those colonized by humans.
