Does Eater of the Gods ignore bodyguards?

[Uh-Nu-Buh]

My sage pretender, caster of all my global enchantments, possessor of several unique artifacts and other expensive items, was attacked and killed by "Eater of the Gods". He was in his home province, with Air Dome up to protect against spells, with 35 province defense, with some claymen as a bodyguard, and about 40 other mages and hundreds of units.

He fought alone. Cast invulnerability and was promptly slain in one hit.

I am !almost! positive he had a claymen bodyguard. No way for me to find out now....

What is "Eater of teh Gods", where do you get one, summon it, create it, etc. And does it ignore bodyguards?

Thanks!
