Galactus is an extremely powerful Cosmic character in the comics who is more of a force of nature than a good guy or bad guy. He travels across the universe consuming planets, but tries to minimize harm by turning people into heralds, like the silver surfer, to scout ahead and find suitable planets.

Heralds are essentially just scouts of his he empowers for the purpose of tracking down life enriched worlds for him to consume. The more amount of life there is and the more sentient and intelligent its populace is, the better.

Also in case youre wondering..he doesnt just do this himself because using Heralds is far faster and more energy efficient. As traveling aimlessly long distances in through the cosmos himself consumes massive amounts of energy.
