| “ | From deep within the star of the (system name) system emerges a gargantuan being, larger than a typical moon. Its body radiates heat, the same wavelength of energy as the one produced by the system's star...It's eating it! The creature feasts on sun spots, devours solar flares, and we have interrupted its meal. The beast exudes light waves, rapid pulses at an intense frequency. Like a fluorescent roar. | „ |
| ~ Introduction to the Stellar Devourer |
| “ | The Stellar Devourer is a new parasite on the galactic hunting ground, not unlike your empire in many ways. It was born out of fear and nuclear fusion. It roams the galaxy, submerging itself into stars, feasting on them from within. And it certainly does not like being disturbed. | „ |
| ~ The Curator Enclave introducing the Stellar Devourer while indirectly roasting your empire |
| “ | The star-feaster is a rare breed. A new type of beast of unknown origin. The accounts we have collected are few and sparse with intel. Few sources even have firsthand experience with the thing. All our data points to the same fact, however: it is a terror that brings nothing but ruin. The Stellar Devourer is capable of feeding off of fusion itself. Our very educated guess is that its biology is the result of some outer-dimensional fusing of dark matter and solar matter. It dives into stars, feasting on their innards in order to fuel its own, internal fusion reactor. It brings death to all systems it reaches. Either they shatter like ice after its banquet, or they burn from being exposed to a second sun from within the being's belly. It wants to feed, and it will stop at nothing to get its share. When you gaze at it, what you see is a survivor's raw fury. | „ |
| ~ The Curators when pushed about its origin |
The Stellar Devourer is a major antagonist in the 4x strategy game Stellaris.
It is a being composed of pure energy, capable of feeding off of the process of fusion itself via stars, bringing death to any system that its in, either through freezing or burning. It appears to have the form of a tick or other parasitical insect, fitting of its nature as a stellar parasite.
In game, it is extremely dangerous to encounter by accident, and add to the fact that it does not show up on sensors means that the only method of finding it is by accidentally stumbling across it with a science ship, usually resulting in the loss of said ship. It does not move from its system unless provoked, however, meaning that you can wait until you amass a large enough fleet through various means or ignore it completely for the entire game, although the rewards it gives usually makes it worth the effort to kill it.
Like the other Leviathans, the Stellar Devourer will never leave its system, but if a player gets it down to at least 33% HP, it will leave for one of their owned systems and stays there for 90 days, causing a negative modifier affecting happiness and habitability if the system is colonized.
