Well, it looks like this is the end. The [[Eldritch Abomination]] rears up on its ugly, misshapen limbs, and devours the [[Idiot Hero|lovable hero]] face first. The audience does a collective cringe since, as everyone knows, watching someone getting [[Nightmare Fuel|eaten alive]] is [[Family-Unfriendly Death|not a particularly pretty sight]]. Audiences prepare for the sickening crunch as the monster...

If the "victim" is more dangerous/powerful than the monster, that's a case of [[Mugging the Monster]]. [[Pity the Kidnapper]] is the broader, typically more mundane trapping of this trope. Might overlap with [[Disability Immunity]]. See also [[Eaten Alive]]. Compare [[Won't Work On Me]].

== Anime and Manga ==
* In the ''[[Irresponsible Captain Tylor]]'' episode "The Day the Soyokaze Vanished", it is revealed that there are rumors that the Soyokaze was demoted and sent to this exact same sector of space once ten years before. During that time, a number of the crew committed suicide by flushing themselves into space, due to a combination of shame and boredom, and the captain (a former friend of Admiral Fuji, who arranged for the Soyokaze to be demoted so that he could be promoted) committed suicide. This is proven true and the ghost of the captain returns to the Soyokaze, trying first to kill Lieutenant Yamamoto (mistaking him for the captain), then Tylor. Just as he is about to kill them, Yamamoto and Tylor start arguing, revealing just how irresponsible and lacksadasical Tylor is about his commission, disgusting the ghost so much that he breaks off his murderous efforts and ends the haunting, angrily declaring them to be too pathetic to bother with.
