It’s easier than that, it’s not feeding on the creatures protein and fat it’s predating on the creatures soul, or pain.
A creature of this size wouldn’t get there or stay there on victims stumbling into it. Especially in the deep desert, it’s victims are likely few and far between. When it gets a conscious species, it tortures it for 1,000 years until the things’ spirit and consciousness merge with the hive mind. They are clearly putting energy into maintaining the life of the victim.
I do a different kind of imagination work in my head for mysteries like this. The way you think seems very mundane and boring.
Hey if you prefer “imagination work” to “thinking,” don’t let me discourage you. But I did easily as much sweaty rationalization as you did.
I prefer fantasy creations that have some internal consistency and don’t overstrain credulity in service of one super obvious on-the-nose effect. When I can hear the author grunting with effort trying to horrify me, it ruins the horror.
You prefer your fantasy that happens in other worlds to be more grounded? It’s amazing how boring this world view is.
I will allow authors to take me on a ride and I will fill in gaps where needed. Frankly I have no reason to believe a Sarlacc in this world does any of that, how did the people in the star wars universe figure that out? Maybe it reads more like a boogeyman legend about a creature the Hutt’s use to execute people. I might add that our only in world evidence is boba fett getting out of one, not super scary. I’m just adding a bit of my own spice to the world because it’s been left open to me to do so. That’s fun!
Imagination and thinking are the same thing, you have to think to imagine What an unusually dull world you inhabit!
I don’t think you understand the term “internally consistent” if you automatically think it means dull. Are you only able to stay awake when there are contradictions and logic gaps for you to fill in and rationalize yourself? Maybe you should just write yourself instead of reading half baked trash.
Whether this is canon or just a legend in the world, it’s just as illogical either way. I think you meant for that to be some kind of magic trick that made my objection go away but it went nowhere.
Dude I’m not trying to convince you, I’m not arguing with you, I’m pointing out you seem boring. I don’t care if a description of a monster in a world makes sense in compendium the poster got this description from.
I actually can’t imagine being so obtuse that you’re looking at the description of a monster for internal consistency to be a snob about it.
Yum-yucking sci-fi, gatekeeping snob. It sounds boring to be you. But at least other sci-fi snobs can jump on you like drowning rats.
Yeah you’re not convincing me, just insulting me repeatedly. Like clockwork, you bitch about how boring I sound. Well you sound like a grade A neckbeard idiot to me but clearly you’re wildly entertained by your own addled mind, so carry on dude.
Lmao, I’m the neckbeard! I’m not being a gatekeeping snob over what type of fiction people like. You came in here being condescending , I’m just calling you out for what you are.
Someone who desperately wants me to care about what you care about in fiction, calling what other people like slop, and being mad people are having fun. Like how is that not neckbeard snobbery?
I mean I’m not trying, to convince you of anything, nothing i or anyone says is gonna change your mind, at this point I just find your opinion boring and a bit sad!
I love how 28 people agreed with me above, and 3 with you, yet you’ve drawn me off to the side yelling by myself at people who don’t care.
More “imagination work” I see LOL. Someone posted this on a discussion forum. I discussed it. If you are too fragile to handle this, you don’t belong here. That’s not gatekeeping, that’s just caring advice. Watch television instead (like your imaginary friends in the comic) where no one will ever challenge you with a complex thought. Or hell just draw more comics depicting people agreeing with you LMAO.
Please reply again because now your addled brain is officially entertaining us both.

Aww you care about people agreeing with you online, that’s honestly adorable!
