History ExtremeOmnivore / TableTopGames

* ''TabletopGame/RuneQuest'' [[AllTrollsAreDifferent trolls]] definitely fit this trope. They're cannibalistic (and will eat other intelligent species), and they can eat things like leather boots, wax candles, and even ''rocks'' for food. They do have preferences, however -- their favorite foods of all are dwarf and elf, and their least favorite are hair and feces.

** In ''TabletopGame/{{Planescape}}'', there is a Sensate Alchemist that personally samples all of his potions and never refuses an offer to try something new, however hazardous it may be. (It's gotten him in trouble more than once.)

*** The Ogres are an entire race of BigEater[=/=]ExtremeOmnivore. Their whole society revolves around eating, their magic is practiced by Butchers who devour meat, rocks, or other objects to cast spells, and their god is called the Great Maw. A section in their army book describes someone autopsying one and finding fourteen kilograms of raw meat, a whole horse skeleton, rocks, bones, clothes, a sword, and a pistol, which was the cause of death (it went off when the Ogre swallowed the arm holding it, and shot into the base of the Ogre's brain). Gnoblars (small goblin-like creatures) are virtually the only thing they ''don't'' think are good for eating -- they use them as pets, servants, and cannon fodder (sometimes literally). They'll still eat them, mind -- they're just not going to be their first choice if other food is available.

* In ''TabletopGame/ChuubosMarvelousWishGrantingEngine'', the Primordial Miraculous Arc has one power that lets you digest anything you can eat. If you can figure out a way to swallow time, clouds, anger, bricks or whatever, you can extract nutrition from it. And if all else fails there's one Arc that lets you strip traits from things, including "inedibility", and another that lets you turn into a giant monster.
* One sample power from ''[[TabletopGame/DontRestYourHead Don't Lose Your Mind]]'' allows you to eat and survive on literally ''anything'', with the added bonus of transmuting it within your guts and [[AssShove crap out]] the result. The relationship needs not literal, so you can eat Atomic Fireballs candy and push out weapons-grade plutonium. It also allows you to [[EatenAlive devour]] your enemies during periods of UnstoppableRage. [[BlessedWithSuck It's not all fun and games though.]] BringMyBrownPants is a lot more dangerous when you possibly crap out nukes, and overuse of the power would eventually result in [[BodyHorror your guts gaining sentience, vacating your body,]] and becoming a Nightmare known as Mr. Greedyguts.

--> "The world is starving -- it must be fed. Just don't stand too close, or you might lose an arm. (Mmmm. Arm.)"

* Grim Stalkers from ''TabletopGame/NewHorizon'' are perfectly happy chowing down on humans OR (or rather, AND) [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots Wafans]]. And can digest and use the materials from both. They also happen to be the planet's top predator.
* In ''TabletopGame/{{Paranoia}}'', Matter Eater mutants can eat anything (including [[EatTheEvidence evidence of their treason]]), while those with Toxic Metabolism can eat poison and exude it through their skin. (This being ''Paranoia'', sometimes these powers don't work right. Ow.)

* In ''TabletopGame/RocketAge'' Iotes, a race used to living on a post-apocalyptic cesspool of a moon, ''have'' to be this. They're utterly immune to poisons as a result and can gain nourishment from a bin full of wood-chips.

** In ''TabletopGame/DragonTheEmbers'', characters refill their energy pool (Breath) by eating things to burn in their "Furnace". Most often, they just need to eat more of the food a normal human would, but in a pinch, they may need to resort to more efficient sources of calories, such as firewood, coal, gasoline, and rocket fuel, though these require a roll to simply keep them down, and can impose losses of willpower and health.

*** First edition's Unfleshed, RidiculouslyHumanRobot Prometheans, can even eat such things as rubber tires and drink motor oil by ''default''... but this actually hurts their KarmaMeter. The reason? The 1e Promethean Karma Meter is Humanity, which represents how well they mimic humans, and human beings, as a rule, ''don't eat rubber tires'' - doing something like this is a blatant reminder that you aren't a human being, which damages the illusion.
** ''TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse'': In the 20th anniversary edition, it's revealed that the now-extinct Grondr were this. Given that they were [[PigMan werepigs]] (a magically infused combination of human and swine - note that the mundane versions of both components are on the Real Life tab for a reason), it's not a surprise that they had gifts specifically for eating, including the ability to [[TheCorruption eat anything afflicted by the Wyrm]] without ill effect.
