Like the Eternals, Chronovores were built from matrices of [[exotic particle]]s, resonating [[superstring]]s that gave them power and majesty. They were living [[nonbaryonic matter]], made from the very fabric of [[time]] itself, and in their natural form the Chronovores existed as six-dimensional polymorphic lattices of non-[[baryonic matter]] (like [[photino]]s and [[chronon]]s), bound by superstrings.([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Quantum Archangel (novel)|The Quantum Archangel]]'') | Like the Eternals, Chronovores were built from matrices of [[exotic particle]]s, resonating [[superstring]]s that gave them power and majesty.

They originally fed on the raw energy of [[star]]s ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dark Path (novel)|The Dark Path]]'') before evolving. Their primary food source was the [[Lux Aeterna]], from which they gained sustenance. However, they also fed on the timelines of people (especially liking the history of a [[Time Lord]]), planets, alternate [[worldline]]s, and entire realities, timelines and parallel universes being rare feasts. As they feasted, the reality would darken and corrupt, "blossoming with the fruits of its self-destruction," which added flavour and spice to their consumption.
