- Remains the same mass no matter how much matter it consumes
The Custodian
Ultravore allegedly works for The Custodian.
In the News
Hanford Site engineers begin feeding radioactive chemical waste to Ultravore.
The Custodian lets Ultravore live in exchange for thirty percent of the energy harvest from whatever Ultravore consumes.
Fiction cross-reference
- Savory Nickel - alleged ENIAC project involved covert synthesis and distribution of [[clandestiphrine]. It has been suggested [by whom?] that Savory Nickel involved Ultravore in some way.
- The Custodian
Nonfiction cross-reference
- Appetite (nonfiction) - the desire to eat food, sometimes due to hunger. Appealing foods can stimulate appetite even when hunger is absent, although appetite can be greatly reduced by satiety.[1] Appetite exists in all higher life-forms, and serves to regulate adequate energy intake to maintain metabolic needs. It is regulated by a close interplay between the digestive tract, adipose tissue and the brain. Appetite has a relationship with every individual's behavior. Appetitive behaviour also known as approach behaviour, and consummatory behaviours, are the only processes that involve energy intake, whereas all other behaviours affect the release of energy. When stressed, appetite levels may increase and result in an increase of food intake. Decreased desire to eat is termed anorexia, while polyphagia (or "hyperphagia") is increased eating. Dysregulation of appetite contributes to anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, cachexia, overeating, and binge eating disorder.
