The Devourer

"Tip # 50: DO NOT PET THE DEVOURER!"

-The tip stone

Description
The Devourer is a giant (or from The NecroMerger's perspective, small) Cthulhu-esque squid that will eat literally anything, and can evolve as a result. This is your main goal of the game, and dictates the pacing; along with what you want to merge.

While anything can be given to The Devourer to eat (except for final stations, eg. Gravestones, and the NecroMerger), you mainly want to feed it monsters that give it lots of food, which is the equivalent of experience points.

When trying to feed the Devourer a station, you will be prompted by a confirmation screen. It is for this reason that you won't have to worry about accidentally destroying it.

Levels
The Devourer has per run a maximum of Levels that can be reached by the player. In the first run a player will start with a maximum of 40 Levels, after which at one point it might be time to turn to Time Machine to reset things and increase the maximum levels for the next run.

The highest possible level a player can reach is as of now level 100.

The following tables will list all of the diverse rewards that can be unlocked with each Devourer level.

Cravings
Cravings are unlocked at Devourer Level 3 and serve as a boosting mechanic to Devourer's level. They give Food bonuses when certain Monsters or components are fed to The Devourer. Different cravings are unlocked at different levels, and the chance of getting certain cravings decreases or increases as Devourer level increases.

Up to 3 Cravings can be blocked with the help of The Dietician.

The Craving bonus doesn't apply to the Guzzlers.
