The Sun-Eaters are an extraterrestrial species of powerful creatures that feed off of the energy of small stars, thus making them a sort of living bombs.
Overview[]
Sun-Eaters resemble black holes surrounded by multiple tentacles; they seem to be sentient although with an animal-like intellect and are driven by their hunger.[1] They can only feed on stars, thus filling their systems with thermonuclear reactions.[2]
