* The [http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=1280 atog] from ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' eats magical artifacts, and its various relatives eat other magic-related things: the [http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=4862 auratog] eats enchantments, the [http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=3635 chronatog] eats time (you can give it a big stat boost by skipping your next turn), and the [http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=31834 atogatog] eats [[I'm a Humanitarian|other atogs]].
** ''Magic'' also had a reference to "The Magic Goes Away" in the form of [http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?id=3803 Nevinyrral's Disk]--they—they were more willing to pull [[Sdrawkcab Name]] tricks in the earlier days of the game.
* Most creatures in [[GURPS]] that use magic naturally have a dependency on background [[Mana]] and will rapidly die if totally deprived of it.
* ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' has had a number of creatures that feed on magic, such as the Disenchanter.
* ''[[Shadowrun]]''. Strain III bacteria eats magic and lives in astral space. It can drain magic out of an Awakened creature, causing it to weaken and die.
* [[Rodents of Unusual Size|Skaven]] [[Evil Albino|Grey Seers]] or [[Warlock|Warlocks]]s from Clan Skyre can munch down [[Green Rocks|Warpstone]] in order to fuel their spells. Can turn them into [[Body Horror|Chaos Spawn]] though.

* ''[[The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob]]:'' Thanks to a botched scheme by her clone Golly, Molly the [[Cute Monster Girl|monster]] now has a second clone named Jolly who is [[Our Giants Are Bigger|the size of a small mountain.]] Considering what [[Big Eater|Big Eaters]]s Molly and Golly are, Jolly's potential food intake beggars the imagination. This is [[Handwaved]] with the explanation that, among her various bionic implants to help her [[Square-Cube Law|move and respirate at such a huge size,]] she has a "[[Applied Phlebotinum|Phlebotinomatic]] Food Synthotron."

* The energon in all incarnations of ''[[Transformers]]''.
** Although, to be fair, in most they can synthesize it from any available source of energy, so it isn't exactly ''rare'' phlebtonium, except for all those poor stupid fleshlings who don't know how.
* In the [[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]] series, the resident [[Phlebotinum Muncher]] is a one-eyed creature called the thirdak, which eats magic. It tried to eat Genie and managed to eat half of Carpet.
