The Shrimpkins were a race of tiny aliens that spawned on Bender when he was shot through space. They started out as a rudimentary and frugal civilisation, with a state of progress comparable to Earth's medieval era. The Shrimpkins that Bender could see started worshiping him as their deity, with one, Malachi, becoming the personal envoy between Bender and the Shrimpkins. Bender first abused this power, coaxing them into investing all their resources into brewing beer for him, but as he saw the effect his decisions had on the Shrimpkins, he became genuinely invested in providing them with spiritual guidance to the best of his ability. In due time, however, they became fanatic in their belief, going to war with the ones on Bender's arse, who had turned away from the faith, as Bender wasn't paying enough attention to them, culminating in a mutual nuclear strike, which wiped out all of them.
It's unknown whether this caused their extinction, since they originally came from the comet field, possibly meaning that there may be more of them.
