So your ship runs on Unobtainium crystals, or your body is maintained by Nanomachines, or your magic relies on Green Rocks. Surprise! That's exactly what the Monster of the Week likes to eat most. Better keep it away from your Warp Drive, bloodstream, or Bag of Holding... This trope is when a creature likes to consume whatever Applied Phlebotinum is being used in the story — maybe it even needs to do so to survive, often developing an insatiable Horror Hunger for the stuff. This can vary from a creature that snacks on Green Rocks to a monster called into being by the protagonists' use of Aesoptinum. It overlaps with Phlebotinum Dependence when the creature has to consume the Phlebotinum, although Phlebotinum's main plot purpose must be something other than keeping the Phlebotinum Muncher alive. Sub-Trope of Fantastic Diet Requirement. |

Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest: The kids are warned when they enter the Great Orcus Labyrinth not to eat monster meat because it's toxic. After he falls off a bridge into the depths of the labyrinth, Hajime eats part of a monster carcass out of desperation and nearly dies, surviving only because drinking the Ambrosia produced by a Spirit Stone he discovers heals him. He mutates as a result, gaining the ability to eat monster meat safely and absorb new powers from it, and eats his way down through the rest of the dungeon. | |

Xanth: When Demoness Metria traveled to Mundania, she had to be accompanied by a guy whose talent was to project an 'aisle' of magic around him whenever he was in Mundania, because a minor demon's Mundane form is a dust devil. How the minor demons survived the Time of No Magic (when Demon Xanth left) is a Fridge Logic question. It was noted at the time that the deep region of rock where Xanth abided had soaked up so much magic from his long stay to function as a battery. (There's a village which falsely believes they act as the source of the realm's magic by creating storms to spread magic-charged dust which comes up from the rock nearby — they have no idea of its ultimate source.) Demons were established at the time as already living deep underground where magic was already more powerful due to this, and their personal power somewhat dependent on how deep their society permitted them to reside. Taking in refugees from above would probably let most of them survive during Xanth's absence, or at least not sustained irreversible damage. | |

The main character, splicers, and little sisters in BioShock require the substance ADAM (created by a certain species of sea slug). At first they use it for cosmetic upgrades and fun but frivolous superpowers, then to survive a superpowered arms race as the city crumbles around them; eventually, long term use (enough to drive you mad, and possibly semi-randomly mutate you and get you to the point you're referred to as a "splicer") gets you psychologically dependent on it; keep going, and you need fresh intake of ADAM and the occasional plasmid just to keep your body from completely breaking down into a puddle of goo. Fortunately, that pleasant experience doesn't show up anywhere in the games. | |

Homunculi in Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) are addicted to the Red Stone and munch on the stuff for extra 'lives'. Red Stones are created by sacrificing human lives and are needed to create the phlebotinous Philosopher Stone, which basically enhances the magical powers of alchemy. In the original manga, the Red Stones simply don't exist. The Homunculi rely directly on Philosopher's Stones (yes, plural) to provide their limited immortality. | |

Superman: In one story, Superman arrives at a moon of Krypton (long story short, it drifted away hundreds of years ago) and has to use kryptonite to prevent its uranium core from exploding. On his search for enough kryptonite, he comes across a (space) monster that feeds on it. He manages to save the planet, but since it's now made of kryptonite, he can never go there again. Since Superman's powers come from the sun, he will start to lose his powers if deprived of sunlight for days on end. This is a plot point in the Crisis Crossover "The Final Night", which involved a monstrous Sun Eater that is, well, eating the sun. |

The "whales" from El Goonish Shive are a relatively benign example. Apparently, they help maintain cosmic homeostasis by feeding off concentrations of ambient magic energy, to keep it from getting out of control. Unfortunately, the Moperville anomaly is far too big for them to do anything more than slow the spread of the effect. | |

Warhammer: Skaven, Grey Seers, or Warlocks from Clan Skyre can munch down Warpstone in order to fuel their spells. This can turn them into Chaos Spawn though. All Skaven eat Warpstone — it's what made them giant sentient rats as opposed to just rats, and it's a large part of what keeps them that way. |

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Herba Mystica is a family of rare herbs capable of curing any ailment that Team Chef Arven needs to make speciality sandwiches to heal his partner Mabosstiff. However, each one is located in a cave guarded by a Titan Pokémon, which were Pokémon that continually ate them and grew into massive kaiju. | |

Unleash the Light: As a Prism being, George only eats Chroma, which is collected from crystal formations in the overworld. Feeding him certain Chroma lets him craft new costumes for you. | |

The Scrin in the Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series are the aliens who created Tiberium, and their entire race is completely and hopelessly addicted to it. | |

Rock/Ice/Lava Monsters in Rock Raiders eat energy crystals, and will destroy your buildings to get at them. If destroyed the crystals they have eaten can be recovered. Slimy slugs are similar, except they suck the energy out of them instead. | |

The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob!: Thanks to a botched scheme by her clone Golly, Molly the monster now has a second clone named Jolly who is the size of a small mountain. Considering what Big Eaters Molly and Golly are, Jolly's potential food intake beggars the imagination. This is Hand Waved with the explanation that, among her various bionic implants to help her move and respirate at such a huge size, she has a "Phlebotinomatic Food Synthotron". | |

Most creatures in GURPS that use magic naturally have a dependency on background Mana and will rapidly die if totally deprived of it. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: Swallowing one of the Zonai Secret Stones will cause a person to undergo draconification, transforming into a nigh-immortal dragon at the cost of their mind and sense of self. Guess what ends up happening to Zelda and Ganondorf? The same game features a sidequest to help an NPC find and swallow lots of a different kind of rare stone, but with basically the same results when eating them all turns him into a Blupee. | |

The Dragon King's Temple: Both the Goa'uld and the Asyuntians have incorporated naquadah into their biology, and require a regular supply of the stuff to live. One of the main plot threads is SG-1's efforts to devise a source of bioavailable naquadah for their two Asyuntian guests, and SG-1 speculates that this same necessity is the reason behind the Goa'uld habit of eating their own larvae. | |

The energon in all incarnations of Transformers. It powers their weapons and ships and is also their currency and food. This means Transformers eat money and starship fuel. And in every series except for G1 and RiD, it's a natural resource that the Forever War has made quite scarce, and making substitutes either is impossible or what you get comes with nasty side effects. Drugs Are Bad, mmmkay? In those series, though, it's possible to create energon from other energy sources. For them, that makes it easy: oil, gas, etc. is a handy source of food and fuel. It makes them Phlebotinum Munchers to us instead. Many a Transformers: Generation 1 episode and comic revolves around raids on everything from oil wells to hydroelectric dams to concerts (the music is somehow made into energon, causing it to sound just horrible to the listeners) for energon. | |
