Eaten Alive: Difference between revisions

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).

* ''[[Bio Meat]]'' By the same author, the eponymous creatures are bred to eat anything, and they do.

* The common fate of anyone branded for sacrifice to the Godhand in ''[[Berserk]]''. Quite a few Apostles are fond of this too, such as the female Apostle that Guts kills in the very beginning of the manga.

** 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 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 (Literature)|The Odyssey]]'', a Cyclops ate most of Odysseus's men.

* 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''.

* ''[[Prototype (Video Game)|Prototype]]'': the fate of Alex Mercer's victims. Unusual in that he doesn't chew or swallow, simply engulfs his prey in his own mass, absorbing them whole (and yes, it's painful, judging by the screaming). It's noted explicitly that he paralyses first, breaking their necks or spines, but death is an optional and undesirable extra. The larger infected sometimes do it as well; the introduction of the Hunters features one snapping up and chowing down on a screaming Marine.

* This happens to almost every slain enemy in ''[[Digital Devil Saga]]''. [[Cannibalism Superpower|What did you think fueled those nifty demon powers]]?

* Failing the quick time event against the T-Rex in ''[[Tomb Raider]] Anniversary'' results in Lara being flung up into the air by the dinosaur and then being swallowed alive on the way down.

* ''[[Dark Souls (Video Game)|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.]]

* In one episode of ''[[Sabrina the Teenage Witch (TV)|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 ''[[Fosters 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.]
