* ''WebAnimation/BattleForBFDI'': Marker and Coiny both seem to eat dirt as a character gag. In "This Episode Is About Basketball", Marker starts the episode by asking Stapy if he'll eat dirt with him, Stapy declines and promptly leaves, but then Coiny arrives with a plate of dirt cake. After the intro ends, Marker can be seen chewing and with an empty plate next to him.

* ''Fanfic/ChangelingSpaceProgramAndTheMaretian'':
** Dragons eat crystals and gold as part of their diet, which becomes a major problem in the earliest days after ''Amicitas''[='s=] crash-landing on a crystal-poor planet in an (apparently) magic-less universe. Once a supply is found, however, Fireball's biggest problem is the bland, monotonous diet of mostly plain quartz.
** During the post-mission investigation of the "Stayputnik" fiasco, Pinkie Pie reminisces fondly of snacking on her mother's patented silicon chips:
--->'''Pinkie Pie:''' It's the copper inclusions that really make it!



* ''TabletopGame/AshenStars'': Ndoaites consume radioactive ores, which fuel bacteria colonies inside their shell.



* ''TabletopGame/IronKingdoms'': The onkar, a creature described in the first d20 ''Monsternomicon'', is a subterranean beast that feeds on metal ore, and domesticated ones are used by dwarves as living metal detectors and mining equipment. Depending on its diet, an onkar's excrement resembles either fine clay or sandy cement, and is used by the dwarves as such; now that Viktor Pendrake (the ''Monsternomicon'''s in-universe author) knows this fact, the thought of eating anything off an onkar-clay dish leaves him a bit... queasy.



* ''TabletopGame/{{Splicers}}'': Host Armors and certain War Mounts are (or can be) lithovorous. This diet even increases the effectiveness of Casting Guns, which fire hardened balls of the Bioweapon's waste. Yes, literally rock-hard shit.



* ''VideoGame/FlyOrDieio'': The first "abstract" creature you get to play as is the Stone Eater, which can only eat stones, or, since it is just a winged chunk of stone itself, other Stone Eaters.



* ''VideoGame/GoldenTreasureTheGreatGreen'': At high elemental mastery, the {{Feather Dragon|s}} player character can eat Shiny Things from its hoard to regain energy.



* In ''VideoGame/IWasATeenageExocolonist'', Dillypillars use their diamond teeth to eat crystals found in the Prosaic Plains, so Cal asks Sol to find some along with some native plants to feed his pet, Socks.

*** The game also features Dondons, a species of animal that was newly discovered in the Faron jungles by Zelda, who consume luminous stones that seemingly become incorporated into their hides. Returning to them after they do so has [[SolidGoldPoop rubies, sapphires, and topaz inexplicably appear]].

** Gorgons, which in Dungeons and Dragons are bull-like monsters covered in metalic scales, have a BreathWeapon that [[TakenForGranite]] turns living organisms to stone. They then break the resulting statues into pieces and eat them. Their saliva magically turns the rock fragments back into flesh.
