I’m looking for creative, non-cliché apocalyptic extinction scenarios for fictional species or civilizations. Please avoid the usual zombies, diseases, parasites, chemical disasters, nuclear bombs, resource shortages, political wars, or planet-destroying collisions with other celestial objects.

One concept I’ve been thinking about is a humanity that loses all individual identity and becomes one collective consciousness. They are still “alive,” but no longer truly human. Then a single disastrous collective choice triggers a complete physical collapse.

What would your world’s most original extinction look like?
