Devouring corpses possess a ravenous appetite and will seek to feed on anything living. Many of these creatures have also demonstrated the ability to drain the very life force from their opponents.

Background[]

Devouring corpses are held by hunger demons and feed upon the living.


BioWare canon
The following information is only mentioned in Dragon Age Tabletop. Certain portions of this media may no longer reflect currently established lore.

Hideous ravenous creatures, devouring corpses tend to congregate and attack en masse, seeking to consume any living beings they can reach. Their voracious appetite for flesh is endless and their hunger for life is so powerful that some devouring corpses have even shown the ability to drain their opponents’ life forces merely by being in close proximity. Devouring corpses typically eschew weapons, preferring to tear their victims apart and chew on the bloody chunks as swiftly as possible.[1]
