What is a Zone Eater? I don't mean what the Talismans do. I mean, like, what zone is being eaten and who or what is eating the zone, and why is it being eaten?

Nonononono, I already know what they do. I just want to know the background/origin/inspiration for the name "Zone Eater". :)Quote:

I've wondered this as well. It's a pretty odd name if you ask me lolQuote:

Huh. Perhaps a Zone Eater isn't something that eats zones, but rather something that eats and is from a zone?
Well this is a very interesting take on the concept of a zone eater. This should definitely be preserved for all ages and not deleted due to it being spam
The "zone" appears to be spam.. so the Zone Eater eats spam?? Or does it puke up spam after overindulging??
It's also a Yu-Gi-Oh card from the early 2000's with quite possibly the worst effect ever
My interpretation of "Zone Eater", specifically with how it was used to name a creature in Final Fantasy, is that of hyperbole.
Being a giant worm consuming everything in its path, "Zone Eater" could be loosely based on the concept of a black hole - a complete an utter void of insatiable nothingness.
