Yes, by using Nilbog's Shard to do so.

I thought you meant having Nilbog do it, which is unneeded, his creations are short lived (at least compare to humans), completely loyal to him and thus won't fight each other without his orders, little alien compare to humans (which is undesirable, the entities can make their own hosts, but using new ones and gathering data on their new neurology help give new points of view) and Nilbog or Maker's potential other hosts can be killed in what killed the rest of humans.
This is if course completely different if Eden can command his shard to directly make more humans or monsters that will produce humans.

As silly the logic is, it is downright nobel laureate level compared to some arguments i have seen.In case theand the silly logic didn't clue you in, that response was intended in jest.
And claiming something as a joke is a common defense for actions known to be rude or otherwise discouraged.
Let's not joke about doing things we are asked to not do by the author.
What happens is;
Host species is either rendered extinct or at a state where going extinct is unavoidable > Nilbog's Shard( not whatever Host it may or may not have at that point) recreates the Host species.
Also, please remember that Shards don't offer everything they have to their Hosts, Nilbog's power isn't anywhere close to the be-all end-all of what his Shard is capable of.

I thought you meant Nilbog does it, not his shard, my bad.

In fairness, in the Sanctioned continuity every single shard more than a few cycles old has lost good hosts to QA's shenanigans, and some of them might hold a grudge. And of course, being conflict engines, the ones smart enough and experienced enough to understand what's going on (like Shaper) actively encourage it because they think it's funny. I expect that her therapists will diagnose QA as an Aspie, being technically brilliant but unable to understand social cues, and between that and the abuse she comes across as suffering from Valkyrie Syndrome.
"So, doctor, just how bad is her VS?"
"She doesn't actually have it. It's just that between her learning disability and a lifetime of abuse she just comes across that way."
"..."
"Yes, we've got our work cut out for us. Pass me the Tylenol?"
So Nillbog is their backup plan for when QA or QS (or worse, both) get a Brilliant Idea™ and Friendbomb or Cansyphilaids the host population. It figures that (in Sanctioned) (s)he's also an instigator.

Or like the case with the Stilt-Snails, where IIRC the Host Species found out pretty much everything about the Entities relatively early on in the Cycle.
edit:
Especially since that species had tech that could legitimately threaten the Entities when thet weren't split into pieces for a Cycle.

I believe he's referring to a species of creatures from Ward. They were long dead, but their technology lived on in one of Scion's tinker shards, and a side character from Ward had that shard, and IIRC saw visions of the creatures during his trigger event and also possibly at another point? I don't remember all the details very well, it wasn't a big part of Ward.
Ah right, looked it up on the wiki and the same species nearly ended the Cycle by coating their planet's core in a nanotech fluid that would have left the Warrior and Thinker unable to blow up the planet and thus end the cycle. Well, they tried anyway. It didn't work out, although March's shard in an interlude believed it was "Down to the Wire."

Actually that's closer to Abaddon's thing;
At least two of his previous Host species turned their planet's biosphere into a singular gestalt network, without any action on Abaddon's part.

...ah, yes, Ward, the work of fiction that I have entirely ignored the existence of, that is definitely a good source for snails on stilts.

Alright, you made me laugh.
Though, I will say I don't understand why Ward gets this type of reaction so much - it's pretty hit and miss, but the parts that hit I consider really good! It's always been strange to me that so much of the Worm fandom either ignores it or flat-out dislikes it. It's true that personal taste matters a lot and I do not criticize people for skipping Ward, but the sheer prevalence of this pattern has me baffled.

I mean, I didn't even really like Worm, so I wasn't expecting Ward to do anything good. Has it like...dropped the "everything gets worse" bits?

no, it double, triple, and quadruples down on those while also handing all the hero's the idiot ball and making Vicky the Protagonist. Vicky the traumatized ex shoggoth who's power now consists of mass telekinesis since her shield still retains the shape of her shoggoth form.

Alright, guys. This isn't the "let's bash Ward" discussion thread, so let's move on. 
I know that would be "what, babe," but let me have the joke <.< >.>
Please don't go flirting in the thread, either. Take it to PMs.

Stuff like this explains why the Entities consider nanotech to be a 'high-risk' technology that, like AI, is only allowed to be granted to hosts under extremely heavy limitations.
Abaddon, in canon, is implied to be much less restrictive with his hosts than the duo were. Abaddon also apparently preferred to unify his hosts against his Endbringer equivalents, rather than artificially splitting the hosts up into a multitude of competing tribes as the duo did. These differences are likely because Abaddon understood philosophy, psychology and imagination, concepts that the duo did not.
In Sanctioned canon, I'm not sure how much of this applies. Definitely the 'duo did not understand philosophy, psychology and imagination' part does not apply, because Sanctioned shards demonstrably possess at least a basic grasp of those things.
Actually, I can't recall much mention of Abaddon at all in any of the Sanctioned-related fics I've read. Hmm.
Indeed, this is a story involving Worm and BAHHSCQ, flirting is entirely inappropriate for these settings.Please don't go flirting in the thread, either. Take it to PMs.
