Orifice Evacuation



A variation of Body Horror, where a creature is inside someone else, and then leave through an established opening of the body (as in naturally, not a cut or piercing), even if it's not really an opening (like the navel). It could be the mouth, the nostrils, the ear, or through orifices below the belt. Pores could even count. The point is that the orifice is pretty much intact when the creature leaves.

Sometimes this can kill the "host", sometimes the host lives, or sometimes the host can already be dead.

Sometimes this can be horrific, but sometimes not. It depends on the nature of the evacuation. As the picture shows, it can even be Played for Laughs.

Compare Chest Burster (when the creature makes its own orifice to leave, or mutilates an orifice to get out), Giving Up the Ghost.

Contrast Orifice Invasion, Face Full of Alien Wingwong.

Anime & Manga

 * In the anime Itachi does this with a crow during a Mind Screw genjutsu.

Comics

 * The recent Titans Annual #1 has Kid Eternity being wrapped around a computer output input cable kind of combining this with naughty USB inputs, disabling his powers by going down his throat. Or summink.

Fairy Tales

 * A common fairy tale punishment for rudeness and deceit is to have the afflicted spew toads and reptiles from their mouth when they try to speak.
 * It's often paired with a good person rewarded by having roses and diamonds come out. Although the reward seems like Blessed With Suck, since roses and diamonds seem like they would be even more painful in one's throat then something smooth like a snake.

Films

 * A cockroach leaves the mouth of Kim Jong Il after he is apparently killed at the end of Team America.
 * Actually, the roach WAS Kim Jong Il.

 * In the second Poltergeist movie, the father swallows an evil-possessed worm from a bottle of tequila, then barfs it back up when it starts growing larger inside him.
 * A remarkably stupid version in the 1988 film The Uninvited: a mutant cat monster that hides inside a normal cat. It's about the size of a rat when it crawls out of the cat puppet, then grows to about the size of a puma.
 * In Resident Evil Afterlife  is infested with... something that occasionally peeks out of his mouth. Much like the Plagas from the video games, it has four insectile pincers and would probably take your head off.

Literature

 * In one of Danish writer Jorn Riel's books, a parasitic worm leaves its host's body through his tear duct. It's not particularly painful or dangerous...at least for the host. Most of the damage is incurred by his mates, who argue about it so much the whole thing ends up in a fist fight.

Mythology and Religion

 * This goes all the way back to the Hittite myth called Kingship in Heaven. The god Kumarbi decided to overthrow the sky god Anu, wrestling him and biting off his genitals. This made Kumarbi pregnant with three deities: Teshub (the storm god), Tigris (the river), and Tasmisus. Since he had no actual birth canal, they had to emerge by other means. Teshub came out via "the good place" and we don't know where that is.

Tabletop Games

 * A 2E Dungeons and Dragons spell called Vipergout let its casters do this to themselves on purpose as a weapon.
 * Retooled for Third Edition and presented in the Spell Compendium.

Video Games

 * The first LEGO Island game. There's an ingame mission where you drive an ambulance around the island, making the occasional stop here and there. My memory is sketchy, but one of them is at the Pizzeria where you see a choking guy who after being helped by paramedics, barfs up a whole live Shark that's bigger than he is, and that shark then barfs up a live dog, and then the dog barfs up a live cat, and so on. It was some sequence like that.

 * In Resident Evil 5 the Majini are all infested with variant Plagas parasites. Occasionally one of these will emerge from the victim's mouth as a much larger mouth with four pincers that will tear your head off if you let it.
 * Sometimes the Plagas will also emerge from a victim's neck cavity once you've blown their head off. Arguably doesn't count, since the parasite basically acts as a replacement head.
 * Ouroboros takes this trope Up to Eleven, emerging as a black slime creature from every pore of the victim's body. Then there's what it does to

Web Comics

 * One of Wonderella's powers is to spew a large octopus out of her mouth. The alt text made it clear if this was Anime, the octopus would be forcing its way in.
 * In Gnoph, a Gnoph symbiote lives inside one of its host's lungs, and can enter and exit using the mouth. The host needs to take hormones to prevent the Gnoph from growing too large to fit comfortably, or else Body Horror ensues.

Real Life

 * Squicky in the extreme, but some internal parasites eventually leave the body this way, either as part of their life cycle or upon the death of their host.
 * In 1726, a woman named Mary Toft became (in)famous in England, as she'd reportedly begun giving birth to rabbits.

 * It's not unheard of for people with tapeworms to, ahem, expel, in whole or in part, their uninvited guest during a visit to the toilet.
