ravenous
Could devour anything
Ravenous means extremely hungry, suggesting a hunger so intense it feels consuming or predatory: I skipped lunch and was ravenous by dinner.
The word extends to any fierce, greedy desire: a ravenous appetite for power, ravenous fans buying up tickets.
It implies not just wanting but wanting urgently, almost desperately.
