The armour isn't the part of the Prypiatosian-B's  biology but it has slots through which his natural predator should be able to drain his energy.

actually scientific tests have killed cockroaches using radiation. I think fruit flies or some other type of fly that survives radiation the best and cockroach are one of the first insects to die from radiation. Mythbuster tested. The flower beetles, actually, were proven to withstand radiation the best out of three insects (with fruit flies and cockroachs included in the test), with some surviving a extremely lethal 100,000 rads. There were no cockroaches still living that had handled that level of radiation.

The Mythbusters have concluded that, while cockroaches can survive in radioactive areas, there were better choices out there that can survive in even stronger radiation fields. Knew it was something like that, I saw it on QI but couldn't remember which bug survived radiation the best (I was almost right).
