Battle
It only has one attack, Sickle, which deals standard physical damage. It will use this attack on a randomly chosen target, however, it has a 1/8 chance of using his attack twice in one turn when its current HP is over 50% of its Max HP. Regardless of this fact, though, it is relatively easy to defeat with standard attacks or magic.
Outside of Battle Square it will always attack in groups up four (as a normal attack or a preemptive strike) or a group of three (as a ambush). In the Battle Square it appears in groups of two or beside to two Hedgehog Pies.
The damage from a Whole eater fills up limit gauges fairly quickly, making it a desirable enemy to fight when trying to develop the second limit break of a limit break level.
