** The Elves in the Franchise/{{Warcraft}} universe tend to be this generally, but {{Downplayed}}: The Highborne elves drank from the Well of Eternity, a massive source of magic in the world. When that source was destroyed and the elf cultures broke apart, each group found their own substitute because ''not'' consuming some form of magic would put them in withdrawal and turn them into mindless beasts. This fact is most obvious with the Blood Elves in ''Burning Crusade'' and the Highborne Elves in ''Legion''.

King Mendanbar notes that the [[BackgroundMagicField ambient magic]] in the area is also gone, and wonders if dragons eat magic. Some research shows they don't, proving the dragons weren't responsible. It turns out [[spoiler: the wizards, using magic-absorbing staves, are the cause]].

* The laraken in ''Literature/CounselorsAndKings'' is demonic monster which consumes any magical energy in its vicinity, making it impossible to defeat through magical means - and as it lives in TheMagocracy of Halruaa, whose people almost never ''consider'' doing something without magic, it's fed quite well on the countless foolhardy adventurers who've thrown themselves at it over the centuries. [[spoiler: It's ultimately revealed to have been a creation of the legendary necromancer Akhlaur, who can drain stolen magic out of the laraken and use it to refuel his own powers at will - leaving the creature in a near perpetual state of starvation no matter how much it gorges itself. Akhlaur himself, of course, is immune to the laraken's powers]].
