The Devourers
How it Eats
As grotesquely illustrated below, the winged devourers use their wings to capture and hold human prey. Once secured, they vomit a corrosive solvent over the squirming meals head. This is a form of external digestion, which youve also seen in spiders, the common housefly or the extremely rare Brundlefly.

Once regurgitated, the caustic upchuck sinks in for a few moments, liquefying flesh right off the bone. Then the monster sucks most of the grotesque soup back up into its gullet for a tasty meal.
Clearly, the creature lacks anything resembling a proper jaw and this is key. Since it lacks the basic tools of mastication, it has to break down flesh into a liquid to consume it.
After sucking up as much of the liquefied flesh as possible, the creature simply throws open its wings and lets the slimy remnants of bone and armor plop to the ground. Yet since the winged devourers are clearly intelligent and cultured beings, so theyre not about to waste those precious bones. Instead, they employ a very human mode of external digestion cooking to boil these indigestible bits down into a slurpable stew.
Awesome! This was my favorite movie as a kid.
Now I have the theme song stuck in my head.
