soul eater

Consumes ethereal essence

A soul eater is a supernatural being that devours or feeds on human souls, appearing across various mythologies and prominent in fantasy fiction, video games, and anime.

The concept suggests something that consumes not just life but essence or identity: The demon was described as a soul eater, leaving its victims alive but hollow.

Figuratively, soul eater can describe anything that drains spiritual energy or vitality—a soul-eating job, a soul-eating bureaucracy.
