Predator

**Predator** (捕食者, *hoshoku-sha*?) or **Devourer** (捕食者(クラウモノ), *kurau mono*?) is a Unique Skill Rimuru Tempest received upon reincarnation, which is comprised of five effects.

## Abilities

### Sub-Skills

* **Predation** (捕食, *hoshoku*?): It absorbs the target into the body. However, if the target is conscious, the success rate greatly decreases. Valid targets include, but aren’t limited to; organic matter, inorganic matter, Skills, and Magic.
* **Analysis** (解析, *kaiseki*?): The absorbed target is studied and analyzed. Craftable items can then be produced. If the required materials are present, duplicates can be produced. In the case of successful skill or magic analysis, the same technique can be acquired.
* **Stomach** (胃袋, *ibukuro*?): The absorbed target can be stored. Items produced via Analysis can also be stored. Anything that is stored in the Stomach isn't affected by time.
* **Mimicry** (擬態, *gitai*?): Replicates an analyzed target's form and racial characteristics, with capabilities equal to or above the original.
* **Isolation** (隔離, *kakuri*?): Harmful materials or unnecessary for analysis can also be stored. They will be used to replace magic energy.

## Trivia

* There was a certain wordplay that got lost in translation, involving this Skill:
	+ Up until the Orc Disaster battle, Rimuru and Great Sage called the Skill **Predator** (捕食者, *hoshoku-sha*?), so when the Light Novel chapter/manga chapter/anime episode titled **Devourer of All** (全てを喰らう者, *subete o kurau mono*?) came around, the first assumption was that the title was referring to Orc Disaster Geld due to how ominous and wicked it sounds, however when Rimuru changed the way he called the Skill, referring to it as **Devourer** (捕食者(クラウモノ), *kurau mono*?) instead, it revealed that the title of the chapter/episode was, in fact, referring to Rimuru himself as the "Devourer of All."
