A metallivore is any creature that can consume metal; these include:

Rock moles and xorns can eat any item made of iron, copper, silver, gold, platinum, or generic metal. Rust monsters can only eat iron objects, because the others are not subject to rust.

Sometimes players will polymorph themselves into metallivores so that they can gain intrinsics from eating jewelry.
