This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a nom (all apologies to T. S. Eliot). A character that not only destroys but eats planets for nourishment. They may suck the life-force from the biosphere, feed off its gravitic potential or magnetic field, or just start taking big bites out of the crust and mantle. Planet Looters and Alien Locusts taken to the Nth degree. May overlap with Grey Goo. Taking this trope to the Nth degree, is Spacetime Eater. Compare Omnicidal Maniac and Planetary Parasite. This is an X-1 class threat in Apocalypse How. When a character eats planet-sized portions (or eats so much they're the size of a planet) that's Big Eater. Subtrope of Planet Destroyer (because a being who eats planets for breakfast would also have the necessary strength to destroy it) and Fantastic Diet Requirement. This would have been called "World Hunger", but that's a real life problem with real life consequences. We guess. |

Coop battles one of these in Megas XLR, after it has the gall to disrupt his wrestling show. He destroys it by feeding it a missile packed with soda and Pop Rocks. And that's by accident. His first attempt — a Macross Missile Massacre — is incredibly effective at devastating an area the size of New York City, on a creature the size of Earth. So then he tries smashing it... | |

Dark Phoenix in X-Men proved even more dangerous than Galactus considering she got sustenance from stars, causing them to go nova, which destroyed one populated planet. The Shi'ar and their allies realize that while Galactus is bad enough, having a menace that destroys whole solar systems is something they have to move against at any cost. And eating stars is only the beginning; Dark Phoenix had the potential to destroy the entire universe, and in some alternate continuities it did. | |

Then Marvel introduced Galacta, Galactus' estranged daughter. She has the same cravings her dad has, and is capable of devouring planets, but she keeps this urge in check by working as a superhero, feeding on malevolent forces of energy (which would be destructive if left unchecked). In between those feedings, she spends a lot of time trying to control her insatiable hunger by eating bacteria, mostly because anything more filling and she might go on a feeding frenzy that would destroy the world. However, she's pregnant, and her baby has the same cravings even now, while still in her womb. | |

The Beast Planet from Shadow Raiders gets along by eating planets. Oddly, it's also an Implacable Man... err, planet, as it survives several is completely unfazed by ALL attempts at destruction, even eating two of the heroes' planets. The Beast also produces a near-endless supply of drones who tend to kill off anyone escaping from the Beast's feeding. Even in the end, they were unable to completely stop it; they had to sacrifice yet another planet to use its teleport world engine to send the Beast planet far away. However, the series ended up closing on Planet Reptizar's doomsday... | |

Final Fantasy VII's Jenova, who combined the mimetic/assimilation abilities of the creature from The Thing (1982) with the retirement plans of Lavos. Much of Jenova's history is kept vague: it was discovered in a glacier near the ruins of the ancient Cetra civilization. It was frozen in the shape of a naked woman, except with missing limbs and numerous alien appendages jutting out from its shoulders and torso. According to lore a "calamity from the sky" came to the planet, imitated human form and nearly wiped us out until a few remaining Cetra buried it in ice. It would have remained dormant but for an excavation team in the present day, who were looking for remnants of the Cetra and assumed that Jenova was a mummy. Eventually, Shinra's scientists took possession of the body and began experimenting on injecting Jenova's undying cells into potential soldiers, which mistakingly allowed Jenova to work its will from inside them. Its ultimate goal is to destroy the planet, then use the hollow shell as a vehicle for preying on other worlds. Jenova's motives and nature can actually be summed up pretty easily: It's an infectious agent, not really a life form, that lands on a host planet and subverts it in order to reproduce and spread. In the real world we've got something that behaves in almost the exact same manner: a Virus. |

Kamen Rider Build has Evolt, the Big Bad. He travels from planet to planet, consuming them with black holes and using the energy gained to make himself even more powerful. He's personally responsible for Mars being a lifeless ruin, but in the process lost most of his power and was forced to hide out on Earth while he tried to regain it. His Evil Plan during the later quarter of the series is to unlock warp travel so that he can do so even faster. | |

The Star Forge in Knights of the Old Republic is a variant of this - it feeds off a star and the Dark Side to create vast swathes of technology for the Sith army. Whether it would eventually destroy the star it's using for energy and raw material is unknown (the star it's found orbiting seemed undamaged, and the math at least suggests that it's unlikely). | |

The Old Gods from Warcraft are planetary parasites that merge themselves to a planet and slowly corrupt it. Whether this would eventually destroy the planet is unknown, as the Old Gods on Azeroth were sealed away by the Titans (they could not be killed, having already corrupted the planet to such a degree that removing them would've required the destruction of Azeroth). The canon lore anthology Chronicles solidifies their story as well as the Titans. Titans began life as planets which eventually hatch into new Titans, making them basically Planet Parasites themselves. The Old Gods were created by the Void Lords and hurled randomly into space hoping at least one set of them would impact on a Titan Embryo, allowing them to corrupt a Titan into their ultimate warrior of destruction (full grown Titans were too strong with The Light to be corrupted). Meaning they don't consume the planet in a traditional sense, but just consume it with corruption for when it hatches on its own.note Turns out Azeroth is the most powerful Titan embryo ever discovered. The Arcane Energies of the Well of Eternity are its blood poring from a gaping wound where the Titans ripped an Old God from the surface. An act that made them fear removing the rest would kill the unborn Titan. Thus making them seal them instead and hope for the best. Sargeras is so fixed on destroying Azeroth (and the rest of the universe) because he fears what a corrupted Void Titan would be capable of and believes wiping out all life and resetting the universe to be preferable. |

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts brings Unicron to the (rebooted) Transformers live action continuity. Instead of being a Perpetual-Motion Monster like his other incarnations, here he needs to consume planets to fuel himself, and due to the vastness of space and his own size he's constantly on the edge of starvation. To find suitable planets, he sends his Terrorcons, a horde of robotic monsters led by a trio of Cybertronian hunters empowered/enslaved by his own dark energies. In particular, he's after the movie's MacGuffin, the Transwarp Key, because it will let him teleport anywhere, anywhen, and make all space and time his feeding ground. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Draedens, multi-tentacled monsters from the Immortals boxed set, aren't able to literally devour planets whole, but they're entirely capable of munching a world down to bedrock. Gammaroids, great turtle monsters from Spelljammer, tend to cause tectonic activity during hatching and then go away, but a big infestation can gradually (over centuries) destroy planets, as happened in Moragspace sphere featured in SJS1: Goblins' Return module. Several of the Elder Evils consume planets. Atropus the World Born Dead is a undead moonlet said to be a leftover from the birth of the universe that crashes into populated planets and consumes all of their life energy. Shothotugg the Eater of Worlds is a mass of poison that also drains worlds of life and every time it does so the laws of the universe are changed a little more. Dendar the Night Serpent is a massive snake that feeds on nightmares and is destined to one day destroy the Forgotten Realms by consuming its sun. Ragnorra the Mother of Monsters does not actually eat planets but envelopes them and leaves all life on them mutated beyond recognition. |

Yamigedo of Future Card Buddyfight is first seen eating a planet as the Omni Lords start sealing it away. When it is unsealed on Earth, its much smaller sizes means it eats things like buildings and other targets of opportunity instead. It also acts as a Buddy monster for the second season's Big Bad. | |

Stargate SG-1 has the Replicators who, after getting access to a time-dilation device, were able to entirely cover a planet with replicator blocks. Granted, the planet is still there, but it's less of a planet now than a planet-sized mass of replicator blocks. | |

Several of the Elder Evils consume planets. Atropus the World Born Dead is a undead moonlet said to be a leftover from the birth of the universe that crashes into populated planets and consumes all of their life energy. Shothotugg the Eater of Worlds is a mass of poison that also drains worlds of life and every time it does so the laws of the universe are changed a little more. Dendar the Night Serpent is a massive snake that feeds on nightmares and is destined to one day destroy the Forgotten Realms by consuming its sun. Ragnorra the Mother of Monsters does not actually eat planets but envelopes them and leaves all life on them mutated beyond recognition. | |

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation novel Vendetta, the last survivor of an alien race assimilated by the Borg finds and activates a fully-powered final-design Planet Killer (the one from the Original Series episode "Doomsday Machine" is revealed to have been a prototype) that also holds many of the minds/souls of the race that built the Planet Killers to fight the Borg. They take it on a rampage of revenge against the Borg, destroying many Cubes while also devouring several worlds for fuel, including a planet in the Tholian home system. |

Tuska, a nearly mindless beast goddess, from the MMORPG RuneScape, came to the planet of Gielinor in an attempt to devour it after Guthix's assassination and death. But Gielinor was defended by four different rival factions (three controlled by gods Armadyl, Saradomin, and Zamorak; and one godless faction under Vorago's worship). She was ultimately stopped by Vorago, an embodiment of the Genius Loci of Gielinor. | |

The main antagonist of Sonic Holograph: Episode Shadow -Stardust Song- is literally called the "Planet-Eater", and it very much lives up to that name. It is the form that the Ancient Ones took after Sana scattered them throughout the universe to save them from the Time Eater's own ravenous rampage, which caused their survival instincts to kick into overdrive, eventually causing them to merge together into a planet-sized Almighty Idiot that only knows to consume worlds and their power. | |

The History of the Galaxy: The Forerunners feed on all forms of matter from space dust to planets. They are not particularly large but are able to breed (through mitosis) at tremendous rate after eating. The Forerunner Crisis occurred 3 million years ago, when a swarm of these low-intelligence creatures was moving through systems attracted by starlight and leaving only stars with no planets in their wake. They were finally stopped by a species-wide Heroic Sacrifice of a Precursor race. One of the novels reveals that the Forerunners are, in fact, creations of an Energy Being, designed as its vessels. They were created with prototype DNA molecules. Some of them died on various planets, resulting in Panspermia. They weren't designed to go crazy, though. | |

In The Elder Scrolls series, Alduin is the draconic Beast of the Apocalypse and has the title of "World-Eater". It is his divinely mandated duty to "eat the world" at the end of every "kalpa" (cycle of time) so that it can be remade anew. In The Seven Fights of the Aldudagga, he is described as a titanic monster with divine power even beyond that of the Daedric Princes. He is also described as exhaling entire farms out of his nose and dwarfing even the Throat of the World itself. So it's a bit disappointing when you finally face him and he's just a slightly bigger than normal dragon with not many special powers who just wants to Take Over the World. | |

And then there's the Limbo Cell from DC's Elseworld Another Nail; far from being a cheerful sort of dance-prison, this insanely huge being (roughly the size of Earth's orbit around the Sun at the narrowest point of its serpentine form) was slowly but surely eating all of existence, starting with the more basic forms of energy, moving up to cosmic power, magic and the like and eventually proceeding to matter and ultimately spacetime itself. Adding insult to injury, far from being a villainous predator, the only sensation this practically mindless cosmic amoeba felt was the vaguest inkling of satisfaction at sating its hunger. | |

Final Fantasy The title of the final chapter of Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. The actual event taking place during it is less about eating planets and more about crashing meteors and the moon into them, though. Final Fantasy VII's Jenova, who combined the mimetic/assimilation abilities of the creature from The Thing (1982) with the retirement plans of Lavos. Much of Jenova's history is kept vague: it was discovered in a glacier near the ruins of the ancient Cetra civilization. It was frozen in the shape of a naked woman, except with missing limbs and numerous alien appendages jutting out from its shoulders and torso. According to lore a "calamity from the sky" came to the planet, imitated human form and nearly wiped us out until a few remaining Cetra buried it in ice. It would have remained dormant but for an excavation team in the present day, who were looking for remnants of the Cetra and assumed that Jenova was a mummy. Eventually, Shinra's scientists took possession of the body and began experimenting on injecting Jenova's undying cells into potential soldiers, which mistakingly allowed Jenova to work its will from inside them. Its ultimate goal is to destroy the planet, then use the hollow shell as a vehicle for preying on other worlds. Jenova's motives and nature can actually be summed up pretty easily: It's an infectious agent, not really a life form, that lands on a host planet and subverts it in order to reproduce and spread. In the real world we've got something that behaves in almost the exact same manner: a Virus. In Final Fantasy IX, Terra is a parasitic other planet gradually dining on the souls of Gaia, a planet it has been slowly trying to devour for a very long time. |

The Fairly OddParents!: Seemingly played straight but ultimately averted with The Darkness in the three-part special. It eats planets, but it's just defending itself because the denizens of the planets he's passing by freak out and attack it for looking menacing, when it's all sorted out, it spits out everything/everyone it and its termi-errr, eliminators ate. In one episode, Timmy turns his parents into superheroes. When he inevitably experiences the downsides of having superhero parents, he finds that magic immunity is one of the powers they have, so instead of just having Cosmo and Wanda change them back, he has to become GALACTIMUS! EATER OF ALL PLANETS! and blackmail them into willingly giving up their powers |

The Ultra Series has a number of them, with a tendency to show up as the Final Boss of a New Generation Series: Return of Ultraman: One episode involves the invasion of Vacummon, a planet-eating space cloud the size of galaxies. Ultraman Jack eventually defeats Vacummon by destroying its gut from the inside, forcing it to spit out every single planet it has devoured. Ultraman Orb: Maga-Orochi is said to have devoured many planets before being imprisoned on Earth. It begins to consume Earth once it's revived in its adult form Magata-no-Orochi. Ultraman R/B: Reugosite is a planet-devouring entity who tried to consume Earth 1,300 years ago, but was driven back by Ultraman Rosso and Blu; it returned in the present day to continue its attempt to devour Earth.

Legion of Super-Heroes: The Sun-Eater, which does Exactly What It Says on the Tin. The first appearance of something called a Sun-eater in The Death of Lightning Lad was very different from later interpretations, being a giant green-furred humanoid that new legionnaire of the month "Marvel Lad" really Mon-el having fun took out in one page as part of his initiation test. The Sun-Eater gained its much more formidable cloud form later in The Death Of Ferro Lad. Legion Lost introduced the Omniphagos, which, as the name implies, ate everything, and had to be kept imprisoned or it would eat the entire universe. |

Warhammer 40,000: The Tyranids are known as "The Great Devourer" for good reason. When a Hive Fleet descends upon a world, first the Hive Mind sends vanguard organisms to infiltrate the planet and disrupt its defenders, while seeding the atmosphere with spores that mutate the native flora to create a Hungry Jungle. As the Tyranids swarm the world and eradicate the last of its defenders, swarms of Rippers consume every last bit of biomass, including other Tyranids, then jump into acidic digestion pools linked to capillary towers that the orbiting hive ships use to siphon up nutrients. Eventually even the oceans and atmosphere are sucked up and the Hive Fleet moves on, leaving behind a barren rock - and frequently, due to the Tyranids' method of interstellar travel, a star that goes nova. The optimistic take on the Tyranids is that they're attacking the Milky Way galaxy after scouring one or more others of life. Pessimistically, they're Invading Refugees fleeing something even worse. The World Eaters Traitor Legion invoke this trope with their name in heraldry, but don't really fit, they're more Berserkers than planet-eaters. The C'tan used to eat stars. This was a fairly slow process so for the most part no-one even noticed they were there. When eventually contacted by the Necrontyr and given physical bodies, they were no longer able to do so and are instead forced to consume the life energy of living beings. This is the reason the enslaved Necrons have been asleep for millions of years — the C'tan ate basically everyone in the galaxy, resorted to cannibalism, and the few survivors were eventually forced to hibernate since there was no food left. People just aren't as filling as stars. They are much tastier though. |

In Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, Lavos is gradually eating the planet's energy from the inside, having first attached itself in 65,000,000 B.C. What makes it particularly nasty is that Lavos is heavily implied to alter evolution on the planets it lands on, so that local sentients become more intelligent and advanced. Why? That makes the meal more filling. Cross expounds on this to make matters more complex: Lavos enhances the DNA of the planet's native life, creating sentience, then incorporates that DNA into its offspring, killing the planet so that its evolved young can move on to other worlds, continuing the life-cycle. This is a very literal take on the Panspermia theory of life propagation, with Lavos as the sperm that penetrates and fertilizes the egg, Earth. This kind of sucks for the Earthlings in the long run, but after all you can't hatch an egg without breaking it. |

Doctor Who: The creature from "The Claws of Axos" drained life-energy from whole planetary ecosystems to sustain itself. The Great Vampires from "State of Decay" supposedly devoured planets as well. The Destroyer, the Lord of Darkness and Eater of Worlds, threatens to do Exactly What It Says on the Tin in "Battlefield". So the Brigadier shoots it. And the Racnoss from "The Runaway Bride" (implied, at the very least): The stingrays from "Planet of the Dead" devour a planet's whole ecosystem, leaving it a desert. Then the swarm flies around the planet faster and faster until their combined mass and velocity open a black hole through which they travel to their next home/meal. The Moment, one of the "ultimate weapon[s] of mass destruction" and final work of the ancient inhabitants of Gallifrey, is specifically mentioned as "the galaxy eater" and is how The Doctor originally ended the Time War. Until he changed his mind, thanks mostly to Clara for knocking him out of his pity party, with some help from Ten and Eleven. |

Men in Black 3 has a rogue alien race known as the Boglodites, parasitic aliens that consume all planets in their path. Thanks to the last surviving Arcainan, named Griffin, he gave the Arc Net defense system to Agent Kay on July 16, 1969, and Kay installed it on the Apollo 11 in Cape Canaveral Florida. The Arc Net activated outside of Earth's atmosphere, protecting the Earth from the Boglodite invasion, leading to the race's extinction. However, Kay made a mistake of arresting the last Boglodite, Boris the Animal, instead of killing him, therefor he was able to escape from prison, time travel to the past, kill Agent Kay and fulfill the Boglodite invasion. But Kay's partner, Agent Jay, prevents the invasion by going back in time, help Kay install the Arc Net, and convince Kay to kill Boris, making the Boglodites extinct again, only this time, with Boris on that list. | |

This theme was revisited in the Star Trek: The Animated Series episode "One of Our Planets Is Missing" where a gaseous antimatter entity the size of a small nebula which arrived from outside the galaxy and began digesting planets. In a twist on the theme, the entity proved to be sentient, though not particularly bright, and once the ship's crew managed to establish communication and explain that its next intended meal was inhabited by living things, the entity decided that eating inhabited worlds was murder and set out for uninhabited regions. | |

Parodied in Casey and Andy with the Planet Devourer, which can eat planets... eventually. (It's about the size of a canary, with a similar rate of digestion.) It does eat Mars at one point... except it's Only a Model. At one point Casey puts together a computer simulation between planet eaters and -destroyers, which in addition to the Planet Devourer includes Galactus, a Vorlon planet killer, Unicron, and the Death Star. |

In Digimon Frontier, the Digital World is converted by the villains into data code region by region (explaining the mising "chunks" whenever a map of the Digital World is displayed), and then fed to Lucemon at its core until he is finally free. And Lucemon isn't planning on stopping there; for the brief moment he reached the human world, everything starts getting converted into data, meaning Lucemon plans to devour them as well. Fortunately the heroes drag him back to the Digital World to finish him off. Only when Lucemon is defeated did the Digital World return to its normal state. | |

The World Devastators from the Star Wars Legends: Dark Empire series are a variation on the Planet Eater concept: nigh-invulnerable machines that tear planets apart with powerful tractor beams, thus mining raw materials to build huge automated fleets of starfighters and, potentially, more World Devastators. While it would take a very long time for a fleet of World Devastators to completely consume a planet, they don't have to eat the whole thing to depopulate it. | |

Transformers Unicron is one of Trope Makersnote Galactus is the other, starting with The Transformers: The Movie (1986), where his first appearance doubles as his first meal and the animated film's opening scene. He goes on to devour two of Cybertron's moons containing the hidden Autobot bases as well (well, one and a half, technically, since they desperately blew up the second one while he was still eating it to try and stop him. It didn't even scratch him). He is a "eats the whole planet outright"-style Planet Eater. Apocalypse Wow! Notably, however, he declines to eat Cybertron itself once Galvatron tries to betray him, instead choosing to assume his robot mode and tear apart the planet with his bare hands just to prove a point. Depending on continuity, he's also more evil than Galactus: as a dark god in a crunchy robot shell, Unicron doesn't actually need to eat anything. He just considers the mere existence of life in the universe to be a personal affront against him, and some continuities make it clear that he personally devoured all of reality and creation at least once. Then the Big Bang happened while he was sleeping and he woke up annoyed he'd have to do it all over again. It's even more disturbing because Unicron is a mechanical planet himself. Incidentally, he is most definitely not to be confused with Galactus (although Marvel may have had a hand in The Transformers: The Movie, and was publishing the Transformers comic at the time). |

Dial M for Monkey brought us the Galactus parody Barbequor, who tried to turn the entire solar system into a shishkabob. | |

Return of Ultraman: One episode involves the invasion of Vacummon, a planet-eating space cloud the size of galaxies. Ultraman Jack eventually defeats Vacummon by destroying its gut from the inside, forcing it to spit out every single planet it has devoured. | |

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: Phaaze, by itself, is a living planet. However, in a loose reenactment of an Alien's modus operandi on a planetary scale, it sends out its offspring in meteorite form to corrupt and devour other planets as a means of reproducing. | |
