Part 2-2
Here there be Time Eaters  (from Sonic Generations).

Time Eater (my version)
A Time Eater survives by erasing history, or rather, eating it. It's a powerful being that possesses chronal powers like acceleraton or deceleration of time.

It shows no signs of sentience, making this abomination animalistic. They don't know about the creation of man. They just travel in time randomly, eating history in its way.

Its main weakness is its very short lifespan. A newborn eater only has a lifespan of 1 day. If it reaches its lifespan, it'll explode, creating a dimensional rift.

Eating history extends its lifespan, how much its lifespan is extended depends on how much did that historical event affect the world.

For example, an eater goes back in time to eat the assassin who assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand, preventing World War 1 from happening. This extends its lifespan by 2 years since this heavily influenced the world.

It must be at least 1 year in order for it to be mature. The older it is, the more powerful it becomes.

Once it's mature, it reproduces asexually by splitting itself in two, this is its most vulnerable moment since it takes an hour to do so and divides its age by two.

The only way to prevent history from being eaten is to hunt down the eater through time and prevents it from erasing that event.
