Yeah it could be like carnivorous plants on earth, where they can get a decent amount of nutrients from the soil and through photosynthesis but they still need to eat flies and whatnot to get fully enough nutrients.
Although given the thousand year digestion it would make more sense if they digestion is a form of reproduction or life extension than if it’s for nutrient gain
Sounds like this violates the laws of thermodynamics.
Only if the people absorbed are the creature’s only source of energy.

Maybe it’s like the matrix where they’re for processing power!
