This was seen when he decided to devour the weakened Gluttony in order to replenish his own power. When asked about eating his own kind, Pride stated that such an act was not cannibalism to him.
This was because he held the view that all the Homunculi were a collective that were born of the same Father. Thus, the consumption simply meant that they were back to being one form. Upon taking Gluttony's traits, Pride became afflicted with a hunger to consume others such as when he devoured the badly wounded Kimblee who was an ally but suffered from critical injuries. He told Kimblee not to worry as he would continue to survive within Pride.
However, Pride was later shocked to see that Kimblee had managed to survive within him and retain his individuality. Following his rebirth, Selim was shown as an innocent child that was cared for by his loving mother Mrs. Bradley with a kind hearted nature as he showed immense concern over a wounded bird. Within his body contained a tempest of souls that were composed of the Philosophers Stone.
It was responsible for granting him enhanced strength, speed, reflexes, stamina, and near-limitless regenerative abilities. Among the seven homunculi, he was regarded as the most powerful of their number and second only to Father. As with the other homunculi, Pride was not truly human and had a great level of endurance within his human container. This allowed him to survive a brutal repeated attack from a lion-based Chimera and simply stand up again without any wounds. The human container for his body did suffer extreme damage after passing through the portal of truth.
When this happened, Pride attempted to find a new container for his essence by trying to take over Edward Elrics body. This was made possible because he was of Hohenheims blood making Edward his virtual brother. Pride's true nature was that of a shadow creature that resembled Father.
Around his container, he was able to manifest the shadows that took on a monstrous form with numerous large maws, eyes and masses of tendrils. The tendrils could be used to manifest as hands that he was able to use to grab onto targets. These shadows were also capable of being formed into sharp blades that could cut through most objects.
Pride was able to manifest the shadows into large maws that he could use to consume his enemies. In some cases, Pride was able to also use the shadows to take possession of bodies such as suits of armor. Alphonse commented that it felt like Pride was manipulating his soul and felt violated as a result. There were a number of ways his foes could combat his shadow-based nature.
Whilst his shadow blades could cut through targets, they were unable to pierce through objects composed of carbon such as Greed's Ultimate Shield or stronger auto-mail forged from carbon. In addition, one way of fighting Pride was by eliminating any light-sources which prevented Pride from manifesting the shadow-based tendrils.
As such, encasing him in a cage container with no light meant he was effectively trapped and unable to break out of his prison himself. Pride was able to destroy a prison with his shadow tendrils prior to it encasing him but once the prison was formed he was effectively trapped unless someone freed him.
Another way was by unleashing bursts of powerful light such as from flash-bang grenades that actually severed the shadow-tendrils from himself. Similar to the other Homunculi, once severed the tendrils disintegrated and prevented Pride from using those lost shadow tendrils. He was not above cannibalism of other Homunculi such as when he devoured the weakened Gluttony in order to both replenish himself and to absorb some of his traits.
The consumption meant that he gained Gluttony's superior sense of smell but was also ravaged by feelings of hunger that he needed to sate. Such a trait led to him consuming Kimblee as a result who was added into the souls within his body.
Consuming others also added their knowledge to Pride such as the devouring of an alchemist allowed him to learn the necessary transmutation means to open a portal of Truth.

He first showed his face in his Selim Bradley disguise, fooling the other characters and first-time viewers alike, acting like a polite and enthusiastic boy who adored Edward Elric, the oh-so-cool fullmetal alchemist.
He was supposedly the son of King Bradley, but in reality, they were both homunculi, and therefore brothers. Pride also made a cameo during the Fort Briggs arc of the story since his tunnel-container passed directly underneath Briggs.
Once Sloth exposed himself and was caught, Briggs soldiers were sent to check out the tunnel, soon running afoul of Pride. Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye visited the Bradley family and after speaking with Mrs. Bradley about Selim, she realized that Selim and King Bradly were not who -- or what -- they appeared to be. Pride confronted Riza that evening in the street, coercing her into keeping quiet about her revelation. It was Pride who acted as one of Father's last guardians during the Promised Day, fighting even after Envy, Sloth and Gluttony succumbed in fact, it was Pride who ate Gluttony to steal his powers.
Pride confronted Edward's party, and he and Solf J. Kimblee fought Alphonse Elric. Pride had been contained inside an earth dome to shut off his powers, but sent a morse code message to Kimblee, who freed him. Alphonse managed to escape Pride, and Pride continued to fight on Father's behalf, including overseeing the sacrifice of the chosen five sacrifices for Father's plan Ed, Al, Izumi Curtis, Roy Mustang and Hohenheim. Then, Pride made his last stand against Ed, and his Selim Bradley body started to come apart.
Ed finished the job when he converted himself into a human Philosopher's Stone and fought Pride's soul directly, and once he beat Pride into submission, he witnessed Pride's true nature: a frightened young boy. Then Pride's true physical form appeared, a tiny fetus-like entity with a dot on its forehead.
