I recently messed around with Matter Eater, and while being able to nonchqlantly eat my tea cup after finishing the tea itself is absolutely hilarious, I was thinking of some more practical uses for the chem aside from just eating the occasional object and your own limb if you ever need to.
For one, being able to eat gibs and dead corpses without the usual penalty of eating dead corpses would be cool. If you can eat knives and glass shards with Matter Eater and be just fine, why not a dead body or three?
Furthermore, the ability to eat through larger objects would be cool, perhaps requiring a larger cooldown and a charge up time in which you're gnawing away. Being able to Pac-Man your way through windows, tables, and barricades is a very pleasing mental image.
Finally, and this might be stretching it a bit, but giving a Matter Eater the ability to eat stunned enemies alive, like the Shambler's devour ability, would be a very neat application of the mutation, although possibly one that should stay to the changeling.
