The Memeovore was capable of devouring meaning itself, 'feeding' on the subatomic interaction of events caused by observing events as they took place, draining the energy that could result from the multiple outcomes of any event while retaining only its own observation of what was taking place. This caused the normal-scale cosmos to break down and disrupting the brains of the observers- the most complex structures present- essentially 'feeding' on the channels of comprehension that existed between every form of life in the universe.

The Memeovore evolved from the last lifeform on Planet 5 other than the Fendahl. After devouring the last of the Fendahl, the creature was released onto the rest of the universe when the [[Time Lord]]s of the Future War broke the time loop around Planet 5. As a result, the Memeovore was released into the universe, devouring meaning across the universe before homing in on [[Mictlan]], the home of the [[Celestis]] and a manifestation of pure concept that served as its richest feast. As the Memeovore moved to devour Mictlan, the [[Eighth Doctor|Doctor]] was able to appeal to the remaining [[War TARDIS|War TARDISes]] to help him defeat the Memeovore by forming themselves into trans-dimensional blades, essentially cutting Mictlan out of the universe and expelling it into the outer voids.


This was part of a plan conceived by One, a renegade Celestis agent. One had become aware of the [[Swimmer (species)|Swimmers]], powerful beings larger than universes who existed in the void between universes, crushing universes as they swam, and had learned that Mictlan might attract the Swimmers to this universe. To this end, he had developed the plan to destroy Mictlan, preventing this universe from attracting the attention of the Swimmers and leaving him and his mentor the last of their people.

The Memeovore was a creature that could feed on meaning. Specifically, it fed on the energy released during the collapse of probabilities caused by the observation. (PROSE: The Taking of Planet 5) This caused the Memeovore to target the most complex system in any environment, such as the brain of an observer or the realm of Mictlan.

During the War in Heaven, the Great Houses considered multiple ways to create a Memeovore as a weapon against the enemy. (PROSE: The Book of the War) Unbeknownst to the Houses, the last species on Planet 5 was enabled by a time loop to evolve into a Memeovore to kill and feed on the Fendahl. When a faction of Time Lords used a herd of TARDISes to retrieve the Fendahl for use against the Enemy, the Memeovore escaped into the universe. It devoured meaning across the cosmos before homing in on Mictlan.

As the Memeovore moved to devour Mictlan, the Eighth Doctor was convinced the remaining War TARDISes to help him defeat it by forming themselves into trans-dimensional blades, essentially cutting Mictlan out of the universe and expelling it into the outer voids. (PROSE: The Taking of Planet 5)
