Immense tubular machines or creatures that swallow up other devices, thus gaining the characteristics and operation of the apparatus it consumed? It would continue to do this until it became the tubular monster of everything. City of machines are and was finished, the power plants, as it is called by the people who reside in the mythical world, it was where they got power for the storage of food, light, warmth, and other attributes necessary for life, once this happened there was chaos, the people abandoned their towns. It was later found that the screams, moans, conversations, and all human emotions consumed people’s souls. Machines eat machines, and eventually, they start eating people’s souls.

These machines are tubular with a gigantic mouth for consumption; it resembles a fish’s mouth and face; it has enormous eyes that light their path during the night.

There are parasite trees that grow on other trees and take on the part of their characteristics, even absorbing dead bodies, animals, and humans; the tree starts to talk in the voice of the deceased and even takes on the faces of people. Old parts of machines are incorporated into the tree, also making it machine-like.

Imagine a sizeable nomadic city that floats or crawls across the ground that cannibalizes other towns. A floating city comes into contact with a smaller city on the earth it rearranges itself to lock onto the ground city. The floating village puts its buildings on top of the existing structures of that other city, where there are vacant areas in the ground, buildings from the sky are put there in place, and finally, the two towns are blended.
