baten kaitos origins also gives us the concept of the pac-man child enclosure so that he can't eat your whole inventory. this is a story i can make as long as i want it to be.
the shortest version is that there is a sidequest where a guy foists pac-man himself into your inventory. pac man will move around and eat adjacent items, but cannot eat or pass through certain unique quest-related items. so you can corner him with those and prevent him from snacking, and place only specific items you wish to feed him into this enclosure with him.
sidenote; his quest involves feeding him one of every non-unique inventory item in the game, at which point literally every attack you do becomes a crit. you deserve it, for doing all that.
anyways because of this sidequest every single inventory item from origins on the wiki has a field of whether or not they block pac-man
keep him contained at all costs.
