The Nanophytes were a scavenger species that traveled to the Lombax Ruins of Fastoon. They were very similar to that of the Vukovar Tribesmans of planet Barlow in the Bogon Galaxy in Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando. Both were raiding abandoned planets; the tribesmans were raiding the old Gadgetron store on Barlow, while the Nanophytes were raiding the Lombax city on planet Fastoon. After the Lombaxes left the planet, Nanophytes inhabited the many ruins, finding as many resources as they could that were left by the Lombaxes- such as in the Raritanium Mine.
