Just Desserts: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

Note that in some cases, [[Don't Celebrate Just Yet| this doesn't mean the heroes' job is done.]] Whatever monster eats the villain might still be hungry, possibly meaning the ''true'' [[Final Battle]] is at hand.

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* In ''[[New Mutants]]'', Wolfsbane had an abusive bigot of a father by the name of [[Sinister Minister|Reverend Craig]], whose sadistic career came to an end when the brainwashing that ''he inflicted upon her'' kicks in, and she mistakes him for the Angel, whom he had ordered her to kill; she lunges at him in her wolf-form, in a bestial state, tearing him to shreds and devouring him. She doesn't remember a thing when she recovers, and her teammates wisely decide to keep it a secret.

== [[Film]] ==

** Also stated to be what the ogres intend for Rumpelstiltskin in ''Shrek Forever After'' just before the [[Reset Button]] is hit, though it never actually happens.

* At the end of ''[[A Bug's Life]]'', Hopper stupidly believes that the bird is a decoy, the same trick Flik pulled earlier. It isn't. As he taunts the protagonists, the bird proves to be real, and feeds Hopper to its chicks. (And this is a ''[[Disney]]'' movie, folks!)

** This happens to Mrs. Gorf again in a later book. She materializes in a plate of potato salad, and John and Joe quickly eat her before she can turn them into apples.

* In the story of Daniel from [[The Bible]], after having to consign Daniel to a lion's den because of a law that some princes had tricked him into passing because they were jealous of him, King Darius, overjoyed that (as he himself had predicted) the Lord protected Daniel for the night by sending one of his angels to shut the lions' mouths so they could not hurt him, has Daniel taken out of the lions' den. The princes responsible for the law (and their families, in a bit of [[Disproportionate Retribution]]) are thrown in instead, where they promptly get eaten by the lions.

== [[Live-Action TV]] ==

{{quote|'''Xander:''' Boy, the swim team sure loves their coach!}}

::: Even more [[Squick]] if you recall that the coach intended to have Buffy to be ''raped'' by the fish-men - they had already eaten at that point.

* The tennis-playing giant alien blancmange in ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' gets eaten by Mr. and Mrs. Brainsample. On the planet they're from, they're used to blancmanges being that size.

* ''[[Game of Thrones]]''; Ramsay's sadistic career is brought to an end when his own starving dogs turn on him; clearly an agonizing death, but [[Asshole Victim| a much kinder fate than he deserved.]]

== [[Web Comics]] ==

* In ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'', this is the ultimate fate of {{spoiler|Tsukiko. By her own wights, no less.}}

== [[Western Animation]] ==

* Happens to [[Big Bad]] Phobos near the end of season 2 of ''[[WITCH (animation)|WITCH]]'' when he's betrayed by [[The Dragon|Cedric]]. However after Cedric's defeat we see that [[Unexplained Recovery|he did manage to survive]].

* ''[[The Thief and the Cobbler]]'': Zigzag is eaten by crocodiles and his own pet vulture.

* In ''[[Trolls (film)|Trolls]]'', [[Big Bad|Chef]] and [[The Dragon|Creek]] are devoured by a giant hill-monster in a mid-credits scene. A Karmic Death for a couple of [[Evil Chef|Evil Chefs]] who tried to cook the protagonists and serve them to King Gristle.
