The Rise of the Esteromorths

The conquerors of Esteromorths changed beyond recognition after 50 million years of continual self-perfection. Their grossly hypertrophy brains stretched out like wings on either side, and their finger-derived limbs had formed an intricate set of sails and legs. These beings almost completely destroyed the machines, despite losing a substantial number of their own species. The conflict also thrust the Estersomorths into the affairs of their long-neglected human cousins. With the machines gone, it was up to the Esterom orth's to clean up after them. They took up the subjects and used their genetic heritage to populate entire planets.
