I serve by being devoured.

Fat, I am slow

@AmalieAnne

That's a very interesting guess, and you are technically correct.

The original answer is a little bit more obvious, which is 'a hole'.

DarkWolf OP April 10th, 2019

Oops, I already posted this riddle before. Let's do another one:

I dig out tiny caves, and store gold and silver in them.
I also build bridges of silver and make crowns of gold.
They are the smallest you could imagine.
Sooner or later everybody needs my help, yet many people are afraid to let me help them. Who am I?
