Essence Devourer

The devourer doesn't eat the flesh of its prey; it feeds upon the essence that makes the flesh. Its immense hunger forces it to consume its allies.

Mix with Graveyards, Ravenwraiths and Death Harvester for a good death benefit module due to Devour Life. However be careful - when there are champions with a lower health than the skeletons or if the graveyard is destroyed or disabled you risk getting your champions eaten. Sidenote: The Essence Devourer can also devour himself.

Pages which mention Essence Devourer

Probably this champion is based on the Gaki, a ghost from Japanese folklore. According to the lore, the gaki are the spirits of people who were greedy in life, and now are condemned to wander the world, trying to satisfy their endless hunger or thirst. According to the myth, this spirits have a disproportionately large belly (symbolic of their hunger), but a very small mouth or throat, making impossible for them to be fully satisfied.

An important difference between the myth and the Pox Nora champion is the gaki have a specific type of preferred food, which usually is something humiliating, like faeces or human corpses, which further limits the possibility of fulling their hunger. The Essence Devourer appears to have no predilection for something specific other than what the flavour text suggests.
