  So like where do they put it? Do they break it down into non metal, does it get placed elsewhere, or leech back into the soil from their corpse?

    They accumulate it in a specific organ, but they aren’t magical alchemy machines. It stays in their bodies until they die, then they decompose and it goes back into the ground.

      So it’s more like moving heavy metal from soil?

      Need a new survival craft game where you can tame isopods to collect precious metals.

  While isopods can sequester heavy metals within their bodies, this is a temporary solution. Upon their death and decomposition, the heavy metals are released back into the soil, so they do not permanently remove these contaminants from the environment.

  You just know some weirdo millionaire is gonna try and train them to go eat heavy metal and shit someplace useful.

  And I’m not even mad, probably the most environmentally friendly mining operation…

    I don’t recommend anyone buy any of them, but one of the books (or possibly short stories? It’s been a while) in the Ender series by OSC kind of touches on that.

  Are isopods the scientific name for pill bugs, aka roly-polies?

    Isopod is the order they are in.

  So it’s the isopods’ fault that the band sold out. They were much cooler when they were underground.
