A lithivore is any creature that subsists on a diet of stone; sometimes players will polymorph themselves into lithivores so that they can gain intrinsics from eating jewelry.
The lithivore monster attribute exists only in Slash'EM Extended version v35 or higher. The presence of a YAFM in the vanilla source code for eating a flint stone—"Yabba-dabba delicious!"—suggests that the DevTeam may have considered including the ability to eat stone, but never implemented it, making this a deferred feature.

Description
Lithivores can eat any items made of glass, mineral, bone or gemstone. This includes all gems, rocks and gray stones, but also all potions, crysknives, certain rings and assorted other items.
The Rocker role is lithivorous. The following monsters are considered lithivorous as well:
Strategy
A non-Rocker player may polymorph into a lithivore to eat away an annoying loadstone that was slowing them down. Eating a potion is similar to quaffing one, e.g. eating a potion of paralysis will paralyze the player for a few turns.
Lithic objects are considered a treat for pet lithivores, making them fairly easy to keep fed because rocks are plentiful and can be created by tunneling or digging monsters; a single rock provides 250 points of nutrition for a lithivore pet. Smashing a statue will also generate a large pile of rocks. Note however that some valuable tools, like unicorn horns, figurines and crystal balls, are made of lithic material and can disappear if a lithivore monster gets them.
