** In the TV series, Incognito eats Helena because he sees her as a threat.

* In the ''Amon: Apocalypse of [[Devilman]]'' OVA, Amon proves himself to be one of [[Go Nagai]]'s absolute worst [[Complete Monster]]s by doing this to a little girl.

 

* "[[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''.

** More than just the cook, the cook just got assaulted by giant leeches which seemed to be the most horrendous.

 

== Literature ==

* 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 ''[[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.}}

* 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]].

 

* In the original ''[[Batman (TV series)|Batman]]'' series, Robin gets eaten by a giant clam and continues to wiggle around in it in the resolution to the cliffhanger.

* In [[RL Stine]]’s ''[[Goosebumps]]'': ''The Blob That Ate Everyone'', the jerk Adam gets eaten by, well, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|the blob; that ate everyone]]. Duh.

* 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 ''[[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.

 

* 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.

* 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.

 

* ''[[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.

** 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 ''[[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 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.

** [[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.]
