Line 32:
* "[[Fritz the Cat (comics)|Fritz the Cat]], Secret Agent for the C.I.A." contains what is probably the earliest depiction of ''vore'' in comics. Fritz is swallowed whole by a giant creature, along with a female Chinese agent who betrays her country because she loves Fritz. Together, the two escape out ''the back way''.
* In [[Old Man Logan]] {{spoiler|a mutated and insane Hulk does this to Wolverine: him and his inbred clan have been eating their enemies for years. None of them had adamantium claws and a healing factor, however...}}
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* In the ''[[Harry Potter]]/[[Worm]]'' crossover ''[[A Wand for Skitter]]'', Taylor assassinates Dolores Umbridge by having her eaten alive by a magical insect swarm.

Line 43 ⟶ 46:
* In ''[[Alice in Wonderland (Disney film)|Alice in Wonderland]]'' the Walrus eats all the baby oysters behind the carpenter's back.
* The common fate of anyone overtaken by the zombies in any [[Zombie Apocalypse]] movie, if they don't [[The Virus|join them]].
* In ''[[Little Shop of Horrors (film)|Little Shop of Horrors]]'', Audrey II eats Mr. Mushnik ''[[Just in Time]]''.
** In the alternate ending, Audrey was eaten after she died and Rick Moranis' character got eaten too.
*** So I guess for Audrey it was technically eaten dead then.
Line 57 ⟶ 60:
* The ship's cook in the 2005 version of ''[[King Kong]]''.
** More than just the cook, the cook just got assaulted by giant leeches which seemed to be the most horrendous.
* In ''[[Willow]]'', when Madmartigan knocked that egg thing into the water it turned into a two-headed hydra-like monster,
== [[Literature]] ==
* 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 ''[[The Odyssey]]'', a Cyclops ate most of Odysseus's men.
* 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.
* In ''[[Gormenghast|Titus Groan]]'', Titus's father Sepulchrave is eaten alive by a flock of owls. {{spoiler|Voluntarily, because he's batshit insane and suicidal.}}
* {{spoiler|Cato}} in ''[[The Hunger Games]]'' is ripped apart by dogs for ''twenty hours on end''. By the time he gets a [[Mercy Kill]], his skin and limbs have been gnawed off. ''And he was alive the whole time, on live television''.
* Curly in ''[[The Call of the Wild]]'' gets her face ripped apart by dogs, then after they knock her down, they surround her and eat her alive.
* In the novels

Line 83 ⟶ 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]] ==
Line 90 ⟶ 94:
* ''[[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.

Line 131 ⟶ 139:
* 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.
* 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]]''.
Line 138 ⟶ 145:
* This is what [[Fallen Angel|Nightmare]] [[Mad God|Moon]] from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'' is said to do if not appeased on [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2/E04 Luna Eclipsed|Nightmare Night]], according to legend.
** [[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,
** 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.
* One of the most chilling scenes in ''[[Code Lyoko]]'' is the scene in "Marabounta" where Yumi is devoured by the out-of-control [[Grey Goo| Marabounta]]. Fortunately, it's only her Lyoko Avatar (her true self survives, as usually the case for anyone who "dies" on Lyoko), but that doesn't make the scene or the episode in general any less frightening. Especially since it's after Aelita, who, at the time, ''could not'' have survived if it happened to her.
