This strange creature uses its Rust abilities for metalworking, selectively removing parts of metal objects to create structures and devices with an unusual level of detail. Through years of training by its dwarven master, it has come to worship Fortubo, the Suel dwarven god of Stone, Metal, Mountains and Guardianship.
The hide of these creatures varies in color from a yellowish tan underside to a rust-red upper back. A rust monster’s prehensile antennae can rust metals on contact.
The typical rust monster measures 5 feet long and 3 feet high, weighing 200 pounds.
COMBAT
A rust monster can scent a metal object from up to 90 feet away. When it detects one, it dashes toward the source and attempts to strike it with its antennae. The creature is relentless, chasing characters over long distances if they still possess intact metal objects but usually ceasing its attacks to devour a freshly rusted meal.
The creature targets the largest metal object available, striking first at armor, then at shields and smaller items. It prefers ferrous metals (steel or iron) over precious metals (such as gold or silver) but will devour the latter if given the opportunity.
Rust (Ex): A rust monster that makes a successful touch attack with its antennae causes the target metal to corrode, falling to pieces and becoming useless immediately. The touch can destroy up to a 10-foot cube of metal instantly. Magic armor and weapons, and other magic items made of metal, must succeed on a DC 17 Reflex save or be dissolved. The save DC is Constitution-based and includes a +4 racial bonus.
A metal weapon that deals damage to a rust monster corrodes immediately. Wooden, stone, and other nonmetallic weapons are unaffected.
Spells: This creature prepares spells as a 3rd-level cleric with the Earth and Protection domains.

The episode I was referencing was Kirk destroying a robot called NOMAD whose mission was destroy things that were imperfect. I don't quite remember, but somehow Kirk talked it into destroying itself because it had failed to destroy Kirk and clearly anyone with any sense would have tried to destroy Kirk, or something like that.
