* In ''[[Animorphs]]'', ''In The Time of the Dinosaurs'' Rachel and Tobias get eaten by a kronosaurus which they subsequently break out of, thus killing it. This was also the fate of Elfangor, who gave the kids their morphing powers; moments afterward, [[Big Bad|Visser 3]] arrives, morphs a huge alien and devours Elfangor alive. The screaming features in several of the Animorphs' nightmares.
* In [[RL Stine]]’s ''[[Goosebumps]]'': ''The Blob That Ate Everyone'' Adam got eaten just like he did in the TV show, and two police officers got eaten and so did a bunch of citizens.
** In another book, one of the [[Choose Your Own Adventure]] type books, various non-reader characters are transformed into monsters and intend to send the reader on something resembling a haunted scavenger hunt. If the reader makes a choice to doubt the reality of the transformation, it's implied the monster kids' ringleader, some kind of lizardman, eats the doubtful reader -- [[The Many Deaths of You|obviously]] [[Have a Nice Death|ending that read-through]].
* In Homer’s ''[[
* In ''[[Nation]]'', First Mate Cox gets eaten by [[Everything's Even Worse with Sharks|sharks]]. Even with [[Rasputinian Death|an axe in his chest, too]], he's still alive enough to be [[Slasher Smile|Slasher]] [[Go Out with a Smile|Smiling]] when they get there.

Line 87 ⟶ 86:
* Happens a lot in ''[[Doctor Who]]''.
* In the ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'' episode ''Basics, part 2'', Hogan was killed at the mouth of a cave where a giant snakeasaurus lived in a lightning-quick [[Gory Discretion Shot|discretion shot]]. Later, more of the ''Voyager'' crew were attempting to sneak across a cavern where the snakeasuraus slept in a pit. It didn't work. A nameless crewman slipped, awoke the beast, and got [[Swallowed Whole]] just like Hogan.
* In ''[[Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (TV series)|Honey, I Shrunk the Kids]]'', Grandpa Murdock accidentally swallowed Wayne, Amy and Diane.
== [[New Media]] ==
* In ''[[Descendant of a Demon Lord]]'', Wrath's high priestess, Nem, killed her lord, Lord Wrath. Lord Wrath was a demon, and [[Word of God|according to the]] [[Game Master|Quest Master]], [[No Body Left Behind|demons bodies are destroyed when a demon dies]]. Nem claims she "killed and ate [Lord Wrath]". But you can do the math on the order of how things actually happened. By the way, parts of a demons body can presumably survive if they are separated before the demon dies, so it's possible she did something like dismember Lord Wrath alive, kill him, and then ate the limbs. Here is a hint though: there were no arm and leg bones visible in the chamber. Here is another hint: If Lord Wrath was simply slain before Nem took in some of his domain (perhaps by eating him alive) to become a demon blooded, his domain (the thing that makes a demon a demon) would have passed on to someone likely outside Nem's society, which would have undermined why Nem killed lord wrath.

▲* ''[[The Muppet Show]]'' Kermit, Miss Piggy, Shaky Sanchez, Lenny Lizard, a chef, and Rowlf's little ''sidekick'' all get eaten by either Gorgon Heap or Sweetums. In fact, this happens to Muppets so often there's even a page on Muppets Wiki [https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Muppets_eating_other_Muppets dedicated to it.]
** On ''[[Muppets Tonight]]'', Big Mean Carl seems to take Gorgon Heap's place as the predatory Muppet. Carl also has a comedy act on the show where [[Extreme Omnivore|he eats bagpipes.]]
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* ''[[Dragon (magazine)|Dragon Magazine Annual #1]]'' detailed the potent Sul Armor, a suit of armor that is made of still-living scarab-like insects. This armor is lighter than Leather Armor, but as strong as Chain Mail, can be put on or taken off in less than a minute, and very rarely, gives the owner powers of Regeneration, which the armor itself has. A Thief who isn’t afraid of bugs would pay any price for a Sul swarm, but the catch is, [[Power At A Price| you ''should'' be afraid of this sort of thing]]. The scarabs might turn on the wearer and devour him, which they might do if the wearer takes 10 or more points of damage in a single hit (5% cumulative chance per hit) and the user also has to feed it daily (simply grain and water) and should he forget to do so, the chance increases by a cumulative 8% each time.
* In the ''[[Planescape]]'' Splat book ''Hellbound: The Blood War'', it states this is a common strategy for fiends in the Blood War. Both sides of the conflict have grunts that can regenerate [[From a Single Cell]] (lemures and nupperibo on the devils' side, manes on the demons') and because fiends cannot easily use holy weapons (which prevent this regeneration) they often do so by devouring the enemy grunts. The "official" theory is that if fiend's physical body is consumed by another being, its essence is destroyed and it is forever slain. Whether this works on higher-ranking fiends, possibly as a way to keep them from being reborn if their material form is destroyed, is not known. Very few mortal beings are willing to try it.
== [[Video Games]] ==
* In ''[[Lego Star Wars]] II'' and ''The Complete Saga'', you can call down a LEGO Gammorean guard which gets eaten by the LEGO Rancor after it chases the guard for a little.
* In ''[[Star Wars Battlefront]]'' you can go to Jabba’s Palace and if you approach the great Hutt you get sent down the infamous trapdoor and there is the Rancor. If you get too close it will pick you up and eat you.
Line 107 ⟶ 115:
* ''[[Dark Souls]]'' has several enemies that can do this to you [[For Massive Damage]]. Most horrify is the [[More Teeth Than the Osmond Family|Gaping Dragon.]]
* Many of Luka's death scenes in ''[[Monster Girl Quest]]'' end with the foe devouring him; if a player isn't a fan of vore, the game has a setting that lets you skip these scenes.
* Lighthearted example [[Black Comedy|(well, sort of)]] in ''[[Skullgirls]]''; in one of Ms. Fortune's specials, she throwns her head at her opponent and it bites the foe many times, with a cheerful "Om-nom-nom-nom-nom-nom!" from Ms. Fortune.
* Due to how death in ''[[Kenshi]]'' for non-animals requires the head or torso be ''destroyed'' or a lengthy bleed out (which characters who didn't get into battle already injured have a good chance of recovering during), and unconscious characters can't otherwise be targeted, this is actually one of the primary sources of death for characters in the game world. Hungry carnivores and cannibals that find a disabled character will begin eating it. There's even a unique description for this state, called "BEING EATEN ALIVE!!" (with the twin exclamation points). Killing off defeated enemies is a major reason to keep pets.
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* In ''[[Nodwick]]'', this happens to the protagonist so often, that even in one of the earliest strips, [http://comic.nodwick.com/?comic=2001-01-19 he was asked to give a seminar on monster digestive systems.]
== [[Web Original]] ==
* Part of the backstory of Helen Goodkind, mother of Phase, in the [[Whateley Universe]]. As a small child, she was kidnapped by two mutants. One ate her sister alive in front of Helen, piece by piece. Helen spent years in an institution afterward, and now hates and fears mutants.
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* ''[[Transformers: The Movie]]'': The fact that Unicron does this to your ''entire planet'' and '''every man woman and child living on it''' is what makes him so fucking scary.
* In ''[[Adventures from the Book of Virtues]]'', they showed the story of Odysseus and the cat that ate too much and ate all his neighbors.
Line 121 ⟶ 134:
** In SpongeBob SquarePants Frozen Face Off Krabs reveals he was once eaten by the huge squid-like monster and in the end Plankton gets eaten by the monster getting mistaken for a Jellybean.
** In one episode a bunch of giant sea whelks came and ate everyone in town.
* In one
* In one ''[[Winx Club]]'' episode Musa got knocked out and eaten by a giant turtle however, they managed to save her fortunately.
* In a ''[[Courage the Cowardly Dog]]'' Eustace gets eaten by a dragon that wasn't meant to eat him, in which later the water dragon lets him out. Later in the episode a real man-eating dragon eats him and then... ''the end''.
* In [[Regular Show]] a demon-thing named Susan got eaten by a bigger demon-thing that looked like her.
** In one episode, ‘Ello Gov’nor, they watch a movie about a taxi cab that gets possessed by it’s old driver and kills everyone who was involved with someone that killed him and then eats a man who was just walking his dog after running him over.
* One of the most chilling scenes in ''[[Code Lyoko]]'' was the scene in "Marabounta" where Yumi was devoured by the out-of-control Marabounta. Fortunately, it was only her Lyoko Avatar (her true self survived, just like was often the case for anyone who "dies" on Lyoko), but that didn't make the scene or the episode in general any less frightening. Especially since it was after Aelita who, at the time, could ''not'' have survived if it happened to her.▼
* In ''[[G.I. Joe: Renegades]]'', Cobra Commander’s new pet eats a scientist that lies to the commander’s face.
* In one episode of ''Amimaria'' the gang travels back in time to where the frogs were gigantic! So big they could swallow a gorilla whole (whoa)! The gang then encounters a gaggle of giagantic frogs who subsequently eat them. Fortunately Gabooboo gather enough courage to fight the frogs and force them to spit them out ''[[Just in Time]]''.
* In one episode of ''[[Sabrina the Teenage Witch (TV series)|Sabrina's Secret Life]]'' Sabrina went to a Halloween Party with the Gargoyle Flu and spreads it to the rest of the guests. When Sabrina and Salem go to the magic world they encounter a ghost that was at the party and is completely paranoid. When trying to avoid Sabrina and Salem it bumps into a goblin that Sabrian danced with the other night. The Ghost begs for forgiveness but the goblin replies: "Forgive you?! I'm going to eat you!" The gobling grows in size and fulfills his threat. The goblin then threatens to eat Sabrina and Salem but however turns into a doll before he can.
* A very cruel example of this happens in ''[[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]'' when Terrance imagines a living (and very loving) Pizza-slice, then proceeds to eat it as it screams in agony.
* This is what [[Fallen Angel|Nightmare]] [[Mad God|Moon]] from ''[[My Little Pony:
** [[Fridge Horror]] ensues when thinking about dragons, and the fact [[Extreme Omnivore|there seems to be nothing they won't eat]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgHgssyuqvI Ponykind seems to be well aware of this.]
* ''[[Star Trek: Lower Decks]]'':
** Played for laughs and subverted in the first episode, where a [[Giant Spider|Giant Alien Spider]] that chases after Mariner and Bolmier is a herbivore and has no teeth, it is simply after moisture from sweat (going after Bolmier because he is ''far'' more afraid of it and panic makes his sweat more). Not that what it does to him is all too ''pleasant'', of course, but [[The Chew Toy|given all the things that happen to him in this series]], this was likely the ''least'' dangerous.
** Played straight (but again, played for laughs) in "The Spy Humungous", where Tendi is devoured by a giant space slug. (One of many hazards the Ensigns experience while on "anomaly consolidation duty", which is basically disposing of [[Self-Deprecation|the leftovers among dangerous stuff that higher ranking Starfleet members tend to deal with]].) Fortunately, it could not digest her; ''unfortunately'', that made the end result rather... undignified.
