The inspiration for this design came from watching one of the recent episodes of the new series of Doctor Who, where an alien species hatches from the moon and fly's away to find a new home, laying another egg(moon) to replace the old one, though this creature had the appearance of a huge butterfly combined with the serpent body of a dragon, and it was completely harmless to the planet.
This sparked my idea for creating the world eater, a giant beast that erupts from the moons of planets all over the galaxy. This process takes place when the planet becomes largely over populated by the species that populates it, then the world eater will erupt from its slumber with in the moon and latch onto the planet, consuming everything all the way to the core, eradicating the planet and giving the world eater enough energy to break from its moon shell and move to another planet where it will create another moon, with a world eater inside, the previous world eater will then eventually wither out into the vast nothingness of space, while the new moon takes its place.
