An omnivore is a creature that (when tamed) will eat most comestibles; they will readily eat anything that is suitable food for carnivores or herbivores. This includes corpses that are not rotten, meat items, fruits, vegetables, plants—pretty much anything except for tins. They will tend to eat eggs and corpses that they find on the ground. Many humanoid monsters are omnivorous.
Some pets will eat anything if sufficiently hungry. A good example is a dog, which is carnivorous and will not normally eat a cram ration, but will happily do so when very hungry.
