Official artwork

The Dark Devourer, Bone Gnawer, and Foul Glutton are enemies battled in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. These monsters, resembling hunchbacked goblins, are palette swaps of each other that have differing levels of power and defense and are fought in different locations in the game. This is a thematic successor to the Ghoul enemy line.

In Golden Sun: Dark Dawn

Dark Devourer

GSDD-DarkDevourer.png

The Dark Devourer (ダークイーター Dark Eater) is a green level 29 variant. Only one Dark Devourer is fought in the game where it, along with two Dark Scuttlers, serve as a miniboss in the Belinsk Opera House. The player may miss it while going through Belinsk at the start of the Grave Eclipse because the game guides you towards the docks at the northeastern area of town, and you would have to go out of your way into the northwestern area where the opera house is at first. Defeating it rewards players with the Crystallux summon.

The Dark Devourer has story relevance in the optional event at the opera house: When the Grave Eclipse begins and spawns shadowy enemies all throughout Belinsk that injure and kill people everywhere, the Dark Devourer takes over the Opera House's stage. The dragon spirit inhabiting the house chandelier, Crystallux, then drops down to antagonize it, but a young woman in red steps in between the two to try to tell the monster not to hurt Crystallux. The Dark Devourer mortally wounds her with a swipe, and Matthew's group steps in to dispatch the beast. The woman admits she always knew the dragon was real before dying, and Crystallux voluntarily adds itself to Matthew's summon collection. After Matthew's group buries her, he proceeds on his own flight from Belinsk.

The Dark Devourer is especially likely to be affected by Delusion-inflicting effects. Its statistics are as follows:

Trivia

  • A model for a light-blue variant exists in the game files for Dark Dawn and is meant to be a redesign of the Ghoul enemy line from the Game Boy Advance games. The three Dark Devourer variants in the final game technically exist as the "Grave Eclipse set" of what would have been a standard Ghoul without the accompanying dark visual effects.
