* Like-Likes in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' games. They started off eating your shield (and in the first game, only your upgraded Magical Shield), but in later games they can eat other equipment or even rupees.

As a side effect, rust monsters smelling this thing go into feeding frenzy and don't stop until devoured it, after which they are either healed to maximum possible hit points or if already there, go into pre-mating feeding frenzy (that is, try to gorge oneself on metal ''again'', and ram everyone who carries any). |

* ''[[Munchkin (game)|Munchkin]]'' has a creature that counts as a curse rather than as a monster. It keeps eating your equipment until it randomly eats itself. |

** An item in ''Munchkin Cthulhu'' is a set of Bagpipes. Rather than try to eat it, there's a chance the monsters will attempt to ''[[Cargo Ship|mate with it]]''. And yes, if they do, you lose the item. |
