Being eaten alive. Probably one of our oldest [[Primal Fear|Primal Fears]]s, and quite universal, given that we used to share this planet with some rather nasty predators. In this modern world, we have little to fear from most animals on land (though the sea is another matter), but stories of monsters of all kinds ([[Our Dragons Are Different|dragons]], [[Alien Tropes|aliens]], [[Our Demons Are Different|demons]], [[Zombie Apocalypse|zombies]], etc.) keep us very aware that we can become prey quite easily. It's probably the most common fear we have as kids.
 
Sometimes the victim is [[Swallowed Whole]], but other times, he or she is savagely ripped apart piece by piece (this is especially common if one is overtaken by multiple creatures out to eat you).

** In the TV series, Incognito eats Helena because he sees her as a threat.
* [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Asuka]] dies ''horribly'' this way at the hands of the Mass-Production EVAs in ''[[End of Evangelion]]''. And poor Shinji [[Break the Cutie|just has to come across what's left]].
* In the ''Amon: Apocalypse of [[Devilman]]'' OVA, Amon proves himself to be one of [[Go Nagai]]'s absolute worst [[Complete Monster|Complete Monsters]]s by doing this to a little girl.
* Happens to {{spoiler|Nene and Nono}} in [[Blood C]]. {{spoiler|Subverted, they turn out to be alive. And their following ''real'' deaths are very different. Though one of the Elder Bairns ''does'' chomp on a struggling civilian as the group destroys Saya's hometown.}}
* In [[Hekikai no AiON|Hekikai no Ai ON]], this happen to {{spoiler|Shimon, the [[Parental Substitute]] of the protagonist. He}} was eaten alive by the [[Our Mermaids Are Different|mermaids]]

== Comics ==
* "[[Fritz the Cat (comics)|Fritz the Cat]], Secret Agent for the C.I.A." contains what is probably the earliest depiction of ''[[Eaten Alive|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...}}
