Roaches with Bazookas
Even before the Apocalypse, a number of scientific enclaves were studying and experimenting roaches and other insects to determine what made them so hardy in hopes of breeding some of these traits into the human genome. One of these enclaves had several “successes” of sorts, and when the Apocalypse arrived, they were well prepared. Years later, the members of the enclave emerged from their hidden shelter and began to scavenge the country-side. They became nomadic pillagers, and little could stand before their physical and intellectual talents. While over time, their secret knowledge began to wane, they are still incredibly tough.The Roaches have bodies about 6' long. The have three pairs of limbs. The top two pairs are well adapted for object handling, including three fingers and opposable thumb. The hind limbs are designed for bipedal movement. The Roaches can move on all six limbs, and do so very quickly. Their natural chiton is very thick, and small spaces can be hollowed out for storage. Because of the contaminants of the environment, their physiology is highly variable.

Apparently, my Google-Fu is not up to snuff, as I couldn't find a picture of a cockroach holding a bazooka. About the best I found was Ant Bazooka.
