Granted, the Dark Phoenix does consume an entire star... I'm not sure Galactus can do that?
By the way. I've been thinking about how to stat out a particularly nasty monster from the "King's Blades" series by Dave Duncan, the Firefly, and thing that it would work well as a One Dimensional creature. For your 2-D critters, do you use it as a subtype?
I'm thinking the 1-D subtype might involve...
* Unable to be struct by piercing or slashing weapons
* Damages bludgeoning weapons that strike it
* Unable to be hit by rays (except on a nat 20?)
Anything else come to mind?
The Firefly, by the way, is an unkillable (in the books, but I'm not sure how it'd react to magical cold) fire elemental that exists as a single flying point that has a natural lifespan of just a few minutes/hours (it's noramlly created as the result of a spell anyway). Anything it touches catches fire instantly, even normally unflammable things like stone; and it can pass through anything as if it were insubstantial. It has animal intellegence only, but seeks after anything that moves.
Sounds like some N-dimentional subtypes are in order.

Being a single point in space, it is akin to a singularity it sounds. No real volume/x mass. Without any real volume, it can't possibly have any surface area, and thus could not be struck by anything really. Perhaps unerring things could strike it, like Magic Missile. Rays, which I don't think have any "diameter" or "width" would have one helluva time hitting one specific point in space. (95% miss chance AND requires a natural 20)
Also, without any volume, could you really "damage" it? There isn't anything to damage.
Statistically, I would have to figure out the "size catagory" for a Planck length. (Anything smaller probably couldn't have any real impact on the universe, no matter how hot it was) and assign it the size bonus to the thing.
A quick run through the math showed this is ~111 size catagories below medium.
For damage, perhaps because of it's high density/pressure/magical fiery-ness, it would deal fire damage of a size catagory of the "reverse" of its size. (Ex, if it was 80 sizes under medium, have it deal fire damage as something 80 sizes over medium would deal with a melee attack)
So how about this for 1D foes:
Selective Swarm traits. (Immune to weapon damage, though not the elemental "Splash" effects of those weapons.) Will generally have total concealment (Unless you have good spot) Only affected by Area-Attacks. (Though it is immune to area attacks that don't completely fill it's square; Such as a blade barrier spell, but not a Fireball)
The AC and attack modifier for being so small is roughly +5,192,296,858,534,827,628,530,496,329,220,100. It gets you.
LA: +??? / CR + ??? (It has alot of advantages, and a humongus AC/attack bonus, however, intermolecular forces should be able to grapple you quite easily)
2 and 3 Dimentional foes are covered already.
Foes with higher dimentions could just have appropo divine abilities. Ex 4-Dimensional (3+time) beings could have 7th sense, or Celerity or something.
And you could mix and match for added confusion! A 2 dimentional being composed of the 1st dimention and the 4th (time) dimention...
