Line 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 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, andwhich eats several of SorceaSorsha's men and even one of what it used to be's kind.

* 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 "''[[In Death Ground"]]'' and "''[[The Shiva Option"]]'' by David Weber and Steve White, the invading insect-like aliens eat sentient populations that they conquer. They prefer their prey alive and roughly [[Eats Babies|child-sized]]. They even go so far as to raise sentients on ranches in a manner similar to how humans raise cattle or other livestock. Humanity's reaction to this was understandably severe, taking [[It's the Only Way to Be Sure|Ellen Ripley's solution to a whole new level]].

Line 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, ofwhere thea [[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.
* 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.
