Food Chain of Evil	comment	Humans are the dominant species. We're at the top of the food chain. That's part of what makes a lot of monsters scary and badass; they dethrone us from our position of power. But when you think about it, eating people is kind of old hat. After a while, you begin to lose track of all the different types of monsters that eat humans. It just becomes a fact of life, so by the time you run into that guy who wants to devour your flesh to add to his own power, you just sort of yawn because it's exactly the same as everything you've seen anywhere ever. So how do you make something distinctive, then? Well, if monsters that eat humans are no longer a threat... what about monsters that eat other monsters? To establish a Food Chain Of Evil, all you have to do is make the last threat the preferred prey of the next one. This will often result in situations of Horrifying the Horror for the first monster, where it's deathly frightened of the thing now trying to eat him. Anything that eats monsters that eat humans counts. Basically, these is power tiers established via a fictional food chain. This can also be used in worldbuilding to establish ecological relationships between fictional creatures, in order to make the setting feel more interconnected and dynamic instead of just a collection of fantasy monsters with no relationship with one another. No real species exists in isolation from its neighbors, and only very few creatures don't have at least occasional predators, so showing predator-prey relationships between different monsters can help make a fictional world seem more structured and organic. Contrast Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors and Tactical Rockâ€“Paperâ€“Scissors, where the food chain is circular. When this sort of food chain exists within a species, that's Monstrous Cannibalism. See also: Always a Bigger Fish: The heroes are saved when the monster gets eaten by a bigger monster. Eating the Enemy: Rather than merely being hungry, the different monsters devour each other pragmatically for various reasons like moving up the pecking order or taking another monster's power. Mage-Hunting Monster: A monster preys on magic-users. Both tropes describe magical predators of beings who are themselves more powerful than ordinary humans. Monster Lord: Also related, but a Monster leader that eats its own kind is distinct from this trope in that it's only one monster, not an entire species that preys on the other one (although it can still count if the Monster Lord is an entire multi-member monster caste unto itself). Monstrous Cannibalism: When monsters of the same species eat each other, rather than a separate species devoted to eating them, although there's a lot of overlap. Sapient Eat Sapient: The monsters and the monsters devouring other monsters are all sapient. They are capable of human-like thought and emotion and and often can hold a conversation too. And yet the first thing on their minds is making meals of other monsters while not becoming meals themselves. These instances can be particularly nightmare-inducing because these beasts are not only devouring each other but also have the capacity for cruelty to revel in it. These beasts are especially likely to see this vile food chain as a measure of which monsters reign supreme. Not to be confused with carnivores are evil or Villain Pedigree, although there's probably some overlap with the latter. This trope requires monsters or similar fictional beings, not just a food chain of real animals, so No Real Life Examples, Please!

The core of a dead witch, a Grief Seed, is the only way for a Puella Magi to replenish their strength, and so they hunt (or, in some cases, even cultivate) witches. One particularly cold girl, Kyouko, even calls it a food chain, with them at the top. As it turns out, Puella Magi are merely the larval forms of witches, and the discarded Grief Seeds are ultimately fuel for their creators. Some fans have even produced population dynamic models.

Food Chain of Evil / int_1b021fcb	comment	Tokyo Ghoul has one in the form of the rare Kakuja mutation, the result of Ghouls that engage in Monstrous Cannibalism one time too many. Incomplete Kakuja such as Kaneki Ken are near-mindless monsters, while the fully-evolved ones such as the One-Eyed Owl and Yoshimura are the strongest and most terrifying Ghouls on record. The legends about the Kakuja are one reason that cannibalism occurs among Ghouls, with those actively seeking to increase their power risking the resulting mental breakdown that goes along with it. Ghouls might eat humans (and occasionally weaker Ghouls), but the Kakuja eat whatever the hell they want and are almost without exception super-predators of incredible power. The immensely powerful kakuja that Kaneki becomes after eating all of Kano's mass-produced Washuu spawns mindless creatures called Dragon Orphans. These survive Kaneki's return to sanity and consume humans and ghouls alike, forcing the two races to work together just to survive.

Phoney thinks it's ridiculous that a race of monsters is afraid of another monster. However, the prequel series shows there is no such thing as a Jekk, it's a distorted account from when the Bones' distant ancestor, Big Johnson, went to the Valley centuries ago and became so feared amongst the rat creatures for his tendency to brutalize their tails in a battle that he became a legendary figure in their culture.

Piranhas, for instance, are eaten by the giant arapaima and by river dolphins, while crocodiles can fall victim to both territorial hippopotami and to the highly aggressive goliath tigerfish. The show is usually done on a catch-and-release basis, but sometimes people do end up eating the catch. Note: this is a documentary, so the fish that qualify are also Real Life examples.

Food Chain of Evil / int_62570927	comment	Marvel Universe: In The Coming of Galactus, Galactus is first introduced by showing the Skrulls, some of the most threatening villains the Fantastic Four had faced up until then, terrified of him and doing their best to conceal their home planet so he wouldn't find and eat it. In a later story, Galactus successfully devours the Skrull homeworld and its inhabitants. Galactus himself was once considered a prospective meal, along with the rest of the universe, for an interdimensional being known as Hunger. Tryks hunt down and infect the various species of vampire. They need normal humans to reproduce though. Deacon Frost also tries to become a creature above vampires on the food chain himself but instead gets eaten by one. A few Venom stories feature xenophages, monsters that feed on symbiotes such as Venom itself.

Food Chain of Evil / int_68237790	comment	Pathfinder: Umbral dragons and cairn linnorms are notable for hunting The Undead as their favored food source. Of the two, umbral dragons prefer to feed on incorporeal undead such as ghosts and specters, while cairn linnorms, which cannot physically interact with ectoplasm, stick to the corporeal kind. That said, both will happily feed on humans if no better meal presents itself. Baomals, ravenous sea monsters resembling giant sea turtles with two snakelike heads, are stated to have been ravenous predators of aboleths in the distant past. Ammuts are fiends that feed on souls, but are notoriously picky eaters — they disdain those of common people as bland and uninteresting and prefer the more textured souls of experienced heroes, but especially delight in preying on the souls of powerful evil creatures. Bebiliths are spider-like fiends native to the Abyss that hunt demons. They don't eat them, as such — as fiends, they do not need sustenance — but they're just as sadistic as most other fiends, and enjoy hunting demons and chewing on their flesh. Death worms are powerful beasts and aren't choosy about their prey; as a result, other desert-dwelling monsters such as gnolls, lamias, and jackalweres are as likely to find themselves on the death worms' menu as regular animals and humanoids are. Even drakes and yrthaks are suitable prey if they fly too low. In turn, death worms fall lower on the food chain than certain breeds of giant scorpions and desert-dwelling dragons. Faceless whales routinely prey upon other subterranean horrors but, for all their size and strength, are far from being the top predators of the Sightless Sea and are hunted by predators of their own. Shulns are among the very few things that prey on purple worms, which they subdue with their poisonous bites. They're thus highly sought after as a way of keeping the burrowing scourges away from underground settlements. Esoboks, a kind of bestial psychopomps, enjoy eating undead flesh and pursue and ravenously consume undead creatures at every opportunity. As souls travel through the Astral Plane on their way to the afterlife, they are beset by numerous supernatural predators such as astradaemons, night hags, and sahkils. As these creatures feed upon passing souls, however, they are themselves hunted by the Outer Goddess Nhimbaloth, who consumes predator and prey as one.

Food Chain of Evil / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: Griffons often hunt and eat hippogriffs as a result of their obsession with horse meat, and also eagerly prey on harpies. This is used very often in regards to dragons: Dragons find hydras to be incredibly delicious and will go to great lengths to kill and devour the lesser monsters should they become aware of their presence. Deep dragons feed primarily on subterranean aquatic creatures, and while their diet consists chiefly of albino fish and the occasional kuo-toa they also prey on aboleths. Giant Spiders are sapphire dragons' favorite prey, and the dragons often allow these creatures to inhabit their lairs explicitly to have a reliable food source close at hand. Beast dragons, native to the Outer Plane of the Beastlands, revel in hunting challenging prey. They'll go after anything that provides them with a suitable test of their skills but especially favor hunting dinosaurs and powerful evil monsters. Styx dragons, serpentine beings who live in the River Styx, will gladly eat any meat they can find, but chiefly prey on fiends such as devils and demons. Mountain landwyrms mostly feed on rock, but when they wish to vary their diet they mostly scratch the itch for meat by preying on a few giants or dire bears. Dragon eels are known to prey on dragon turtles. The Third Edition Epic Level Handbook has the sirrush, a large creature that looks vaguely like an armor-plated lynx and likes hunting dragons. Bugbears, orcs, and gnolls are all quite willing to attack and kill or enslave less powerful evil humanoids like goblins and kobolds. Bebiliths are spider-like demons whose favorite prey is other demons. Spider Eaters are huge wasp-like magical beasts that hunt the Giant Spiders and other oversized arthropods found in most D&D worlds. Avolakias, a type of aberration resembling tentacled wormlike monsters, greatly dislike the taste of either living or dead meat and are instead eager predators of the undead — zombie flesh is their favorite food.

Food Chain of Evil / int_705bb59a	comment	Vampire: The Masquerade: Any vampire of a sufficiently low generation can develop the Elder's Thirst: they can only feed on other vampires. Their capacity for holding blood can be ten times that of a neonate, so when they're running on empty it takes a lot to fill them up. Luckily for them, vampire blood is much more filling. Most vampires in the setting live in fear of Gehenna, when the Antediluvians will rise from torpor to devour their offspring. Some Elder vampires invoke this trope by specifically creating coteries of neonates (new vampires) to go out and fill themselves up with human blood, so their Sire can then fill up on vampire blood. Not enforced in the rules per se, but a very creepy and squicky piece of fluff. Also, humans can be empowered somewhat by feeding them vampire blood — but become enslaved to their donor. Sometimes they decide to go independent and find their own supplies. This is Vlad the Impaler's backstory. He was never a blood thrall, but, before he was Embraced himself, he fed on captured Tzimisce and shared the blood with loyal elite troops, thereby establishing himself higher on the food chain than the clan that had been terrorizing so many similar small European kingdoms.

Not enforced in the rules per se, but a very creepy and squicky piece of fluff. Also, humans can be empowered somewhat by feeding them vampire blood — but become enslaved to their donor. Sometimes they decide to go independent and find their own supplies. This is Vlad the Impaler's backstory. He was never a blood thrall, but, before he was Embraced himself, he fed on captured Tzimisce and shared the blood with loyal elite troops, thereby establishing himself higher on the food chain than the clan that had been terrorizing so many similar small European kingdoms. In Vampire: The Requiem, similar examples to the above exist: Any vampire with Blood Potency 7 can only feed if they're willing to drink the blood of another vampire. There are drawbacks: addiction and the risk of being mind-controlled by the victim. They can also get addicted to soul-eating other vampires through diablerie. Usually, any vamp getting this high a Blood Potency either ate his way up or existed for a very long time, both of which tend to make you extremely powerful. In the case of the former, they also tend to be quite psychotic due to diablerie eating away at your Humanity. Supplements have featured both the Macellarius, who gain the ability to truly digest food and a gourmand's desire for strange flesh, and the Noctuku who have a compulsion to eat the flesh of their victims as well as drink their blood, despite it providing no benefit to them — it's more a dominance thing. As in Masquerade, ghouls — humans given vampiric abilities by addicting them to vitae (vampire blood) — can sometimes go rogue and turn to hunting vampires to make them into food without having to slave for them. The Mythologies splat actually introduces the Phanariot, which are a ghoul strain that has managed to become immune to the Blood Bond and so freely preys upon vampires. Naturally, vampires can suck blood from the various other supernatural splats. In first edition, this isn't always a good idea — Urathra blood has a tendency to provoke Frenzy, for example. The Book of the Dead splat contains a merit that allows vampires to eat ghosts instead of drinking blood. In 2nd edition, the merit Unnatural Affinity exists specifically for the aforementioned too-strong vampires, allowing them to substitute the blood of non-vampire supernaturals for vampire blood. The Edimmu are demonic entities from ancient Mesopotamia, who were created to destroy rival vampires but Turned Against Their Masters. They wiped out The Necrocracy of Babylon; they devour vampire souls, reproducing sevenfold whenever they do; and they're pretty much the Godzilla Threshold to any vampire old enough to know about them. Werewolf: The Forsaken: In the 2nd edition, werewolves got tweaked so that Primal Urge had a similar drawback to Blood Potency above. Hitting Primal Urge 6 means that only the flesh of carnivorous creatures can sustain a werewolf, so if they don't want to starve to death, they need to start eating wolves and the like. Two points of Primal Urge later, and from then on, only the flesh of creatures that produce Essence will do. These big bad wolves can only nourish themselves on the flesh of humans (and by extension mages), spirits, and other werewolves. This is also how spirits often work. Each spirit can eat other spirits that are similar to it (a water spirit eating another water spirit, for instance) or compatible with it (a wolf spirit eating a rabbit spirit), basically making an almost cannibalistic food chain. However, they are also capable of gaining Essence simply from being around the thing they represent. Spirits can deviate from this pattern (a wolf spirit can eat, for example, a car spirit), but it doesn't feel right, and those that do it too often are at risk of becoming magath, twisted hybrids rejected by other spirits.

Unable to go through with the deed, they release it and shout encouragement as it slithers away. Suddenly, a fish-bird creature swoops down and grabs the worm. The bird then gets eaten by a tentacled mouse monster, which gets eaten by a one-eyed gryphon, which gets eaten by a huge moose-like beast. All of this happens in the span of twenty seconds, and Gumball and Darwin stare in silent horror as it goes on. In "The World", a similar event occurs during a second visit to the Forest of Doom, where a squirrel is eaten by a snake, which is eaten by a bird, which is eaten by another one-eyed gryphon, which is eaten by a moose-like beast, all while the creatures sing about how the meaning of life is to eat or be eaten, each being devoured before it can finish its verse, except for the moose-creature.

Return of Ultraman: The whip-armed Gudon is Twin Tail's natural predator, and their rivalry proves so intense that when Ultraman Jack stepped in to kill them both, he didn't stand a chance in the three-way battle. This rivalry is repeated in Ultraman Mebius where the two's battle is interrupted by the Mebius example below. Ultraman Taro: In episode 17, bug-like monsters called Kemujira appear after being awoken by a volcanic eruption, ZAT deals with them as is typical, but then the real threat emerges in the form of their predator Birdon, who not only devours the Kemujira, but kills Ultraman Taro. Ultraman 80: In episode 28, the vicious Zakira attempts this with an infant Baru (a species of Gentle Giant kaiju that is its natural prey) that UGM was taking care of, but fails. Ultraman Max: The ice-breathing Lagoras is the mortal enemy of the fire-breathing Grangon, and the former hunts for the latter to consume its molten core to become Evolved Lagoras, which combines the powers of both into a far more dangerous attack. Ultraman Mebius: Bogal and her spawn, the Lesser Bogals, are basically mouths with a body. Their presence calls forth other kaiju from the depths of space or their tombs in the earth to be unwillingly consumed. Worse still, the Bogals use the energy gained from meals to evolve in power and appearance. Oh yeah, they also cannibalize their dead for the same effect.

Food Chain of Evil / int_e4732abc	comment	Stargate Atlantis: The Wraith are a terrifying race of lifeforce vampires who hunt, herd, and generally rule over humanity as a food source. However, when Lt Ford was being fed upon, the process was interrupted and he discovered that the Wraith, in order to allow them to feed longer, inject their victims with a powerful stimulant that makes the victim stronger. Cue Ford and some other Wraith survivors around the galaxy forming a group that hunts the wraith, harvesting their corpses for more sweet, sweet Psycho Serum There are also the Asurans: machines created by the Ancients to combat the Wraith. When the Asurans are activated, they become a much bigger threat than the Wraith when they decide to kill the Wraith by eliminating their food source...humans. Until they are dealt with, of course.

Majin Buu and Moro may also count, as they're omnivorous; Majin Buu in particular demonstrated his power by defeating Dabura, the most powerful Demon in existence, with no effort whatsoever, but then turning him into a candy and eating him.

The one you have to deal with in Griffith Park near the endgame can kill you in four or five hits, and shrugs off even your most powerful weapons — you need to find a special way to kill it.

Food Chain of Evil / int_fdf7a632	comment	In Vampire: The Requiem, similar examples to the above exist: Any vampire with Blood Potency 7 can only feed if they're willing to drink the blood of another vampire. There are drawbacks: addiction and the risk of being mind-controlled by the victim. They can also get addicted to soul-eating other vampires through diablerie. Usually, any vamp getting this high a Blood Potency either ate his way up or existed for a very long time, both of which tend to make you extremely powerful. In the case of the former, they also tend to be quite psychotic due to diablerie eating away at your Humanity. Supplements have featured both the Macellarius, who gain the ability to truly digest food and a gourmand's desire for strange flesh, and the Noctuku who have a compulsion to eat the flesh of their victims as well as drink their blood, despite it providing no benefit to them — it's more a dominance thing. As in Masquerade, ghouls — humans given vampiric abilities by addicting them to vitae (vampire blood) — can sometimes go rogue and turn to hunting vampires to make them into food without having to slave for them. The Mythologies splat actually introduces the Phanariot, which are a ghoul strain that has managed to become immune to the Blood Bond and so freely preys upon vampires. Naturally, vampires can suck blood from the various other supernatural splats. In first edition, this isn't always a good idea — Urathra blood has a tendency to provoke Frenzy, for example. The Book of the Dead splat contains a merit that allows vampires to eat ghosts instead of drinking blood. In 2nd edition, the merit Unnatural Affinity exists specifically for the aforementioned too-strong vampires, allowing them to substitute the blood of non-vampire supernaturals for vampire blood. The Edimmu are demonic entities from ancient Mesopotamia, who were created to destroy rival vampires but Turned Against Their Masters. They wiped out The Necrocracy of Babylon; they devour vampire souls, reproducing sevenfold whenever they do; and they're pretty much the Godzilla Threshold to any vampire old enough to know about them.
