Once upon a time, it was pretty much a given that any dark-skinned, non-Christian native tribes encountered by a European explorer hero would be consumers of human flesh. The stereotypical Cannibal Tribe are Always Chaotic Evil, dress in very little but for the Skeletons in the Coat Closet, and live in wooden huts around a large fire with an enormous cooking pot sitting on top of it (notably this pot will usually be iron, despite the tribe otherwise seeming to be stuck in the stone age). The Missionary may be already there, trying to make them change their ways, or he might be in our hero's party... or those might be his bones adorning the chief's throne. Monstrous Cannibalism may be practiced within the tribe if they run out of captives, with simply foraging for vegetation or nonhuman animals apparently having never been considered as a source of sustenance. Often provide the Angry Natives for a Chased by Angry Natives scene, often followed by a Tribal Carry scene. Contrast Noble Savage. Subtrope of Hollywood Natives. Supertrope of Captured by Cannibals and the related exploitation film genre, Cannibal Film. Contrast with Cannibal Clan, where the cannibals are just a family, typically from a culture where cannibalism is not acceptable. Subtrope of Humans Are Bastards. And ironically, the Cannibal Tribe's attitude towards foreigners makes them a subtrope of Politically Incorrect Villain. Examples |

Kids Praise: Discussed in the ninth album; while adventuring in Africa, one of the kids voices a concern that they might run into some, but Psalty tries to assure them that there aren't many cannibals left in modern times. Then they meet a tribe that only eats books, and the main character is an antropomorphic songbook.... | |

Redwall: Pick a tribe of reptiles or amphibians, they will be played this way. From King Glagweb's toads to Lask Frildur's monitors, almost every cold-blooded animal in the series lives in a tribe and eats other sentient beings. The only exceptions are the adders, who are still cannibals, but loners (or in the case of the triplets in Triss a Cannibal Clan). | |

Fallout: Equestria: The friendly ponies of Arbu are actually cannibals, killing and eating anyone who stays too long without joining the tribe. They do let ponies leave unharmed, but in some ways that's actually worse — they've been selling the meat to merchants and had a decent reputation throughout the Wasteland. Anyone who doesn't want to participate ends up leaving, but then they usually get caught and killed later. When Littlepip finally finds out what's going on (especially the part where they fed an unknowing colt his own father), she kills every single one of them. Her companions have mixed reactions to this; Velvet Remedy for once agrees completely and likens it to cutting out a cancer, Calamity agrees that what they were doing was wrong but considers the slaughter unacceptable, Xenith has done terrible things to survive and so can't blame them, and Steelhooves agrees they needed to die but wished Littlepip could have discussed it with them so that they could operate in a colder and more calculated manner. The townspony who showed Littlepip what was going on says that the town deserved far worse than what it got. He kept a ledger of all the ponies who were eaten, and uses it to recover Littlepip's reputation. | |

In Diablo IV, the Dry Steppes are home to the Cannibals, clans driven by an insatiable need to feast on other humans. They've recently sacked the major city of Guulrahn and begun to invade Kehjistan as well. Some of their members appear to be Barbarians and it's speculated the first Cannibals might have been Unclean who left Mount Arreat. | |

Several stories in the early years of The Phantom featured cannibal tribes, including a few tribes in the Phantom's own neighborhood who were officially reformed, but prone to backsliding when they thought he wasn't looking. One later story ends with the Phantom placing the villain of the piece in the custody of one of these tribes, encouraging good behaviour by warning him of their history. He carefully neglects to mention that since then, not only have they kicked the cannibalism, but they have all become vegetarians. | |

Hamster's Paradise: The Always Chaotic Evil Harmsters have a species wide tendency to engage in Monstrous Cannibalism but one tribe of them takes it even further. The Frazettas are the primitive descendants of one Harmster empire who attempted to make themselves stronger by breeding with their Brutes (descendants of rival Harmsters selectively bred into obedient animals) and now the Frazettas feed mostly on feral Brutes and other Harmsters. | |

Moby-Dick: Queequeg comes from one of these on the fictional South Pacific island of Rokovoko. At one point he tells a story about a victory feast after a battle, in which fifty of his tribe's enemies were eaten — and he got indigestion afterwards! However, Queequeg is presented as a Noble Savage, and he's best friend to the novel's protagonist, Ishmael, who takes a very live-and-let-live approach to Queequeg's cultural practices. Herman Melville had a great admiration for Polynesian culture. | |

In King of the Hill, after being encouraged to educate himself on Native American history by John Redcorn, Bobby does a presentation in which he states that according to the books he read, the local Anasazi tribe cannibalized their enemies in the past. Naturally, this has the exact opposite effect that John Redcorn wanted and further alienates him from Joseph. | |

The Yaneemengo in Metalocalypse apparently practice this, as Nathan's grandmother writes about her shock at finding out she ate her husband. She's not too torn up about it as by then she had gotten together with Nathan's biological grandfather, the chief of the Yaneemango tribe. At the end of the episode, while Dethklok is high on yopo, the Yaneemango tribe they find eat General Crozier's men. | |

The Ewoks in Return of the Jedi could be considered the Sci-Fi Counterpart of this trope. They're technically an example of To Serve Man, since they're not the same species as their victims, but they play this role in the movie when they capture and try to eat Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. This tendency is swept under the rug as the film goes on (they aren't shown eating the dead Stormtroopers, for example), and ignored in all subsequent media to feature the Ewoks. | |

Played almost comically straight in the 1960 adaptation of The Lost World (1912), when the explorers are captured by the Hollywood Natives of the plateau. When debating their situation and what to do next, Prof. Challenger flatly states that "They're obviously cannibals" and everyone just goes along with it. He's right, too. | |

Deconstructed and played for drama in Far Cry Primal; while the more brutal Udam do indeed eat their captured prisoners and are vilified for it by the Wenja, they have begun to eat far more in an attempt to cure themselves of what they call "skull fire", believing that uninfected human flesh will give them the strength to drive away the sickness slowly killing their tribe. Sadly, the affliction they suffer from is actually the prion disease, Kuru, with several Udam tribesmen showing increasing signs of neural degeneration — meaning that the more they eat, the greater the symptoms eventually become. | |

Nearly every evil humanoid race in Dungeons & Dragons has been portrayed as cannibalistic at one point or another, but orcs, ogres, hill giants, ettins, trolls, goblins, and gnolls are especially prone to this depiction. In the Dark Sun setting, halflings are depicted as this trope. They remain a playable race, though, for those wishing to create a Barbarian Hero type character (though the Barbarian character class isn't always an optimal fit for halflings, depending on the edition you're playing). Another instance of cannibal halflings is the Jerren from 3rd edition's Book of Vile Darkness supplement; unlike the Dark Sun example, they are very much Played for Horror and almost universally vile, vicious little monsters (those who aren't tend to end up on the menu sooner rather than later). Icewind Dale Rime Of The Frostmaiden combines with with No Party Like a Donner Party: In one of the quests in Chapter 2, the adventurers learn that a Reghed Wolf Tribe camp has been resorting to cannibalism to survive during the Everlasting Rime, first by eating their sled dogs and their elderly, then by abducting furriers and trappers from across the wilderness. At the start of Auril's Test of Cruelty, the Reghed Bear Tribe have began resorting to eating their sled dogs and elders once they have ran out of food and their hunters were unable to return to the camp due to a strong blizzard. Isle of the Ape is an extremely difficult Greyhawk module featuring a cannibal tribe called the Kawibusa. The island is a Hungry Jungle, and the tribe have been hardened by its perils to present a serious threat to max-level characters. |

The cannibal kingdom of Darfar shows up in one episode of Conan the Adventurer, though given that it was a '90s kids' cartoon, understandably no cannibalism is actually seen. Also, the Darfari were changed to somewhat pale brown borderline-Frazetta Men, to avoid the obvious Unfortunate Implications of black cannibals. | |

A regular threat in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World. Averted, though, in The Lost World (2001), where the plateau natives are a pretty okay bunch. When they do eventually turn against the British explorers, they have a pretty decent reason for it. There's also a brief scene early on, before we've even reached the Plateau, when Prof. Challenger casually points out an Amazonian tribe as cannibals, but they seem content to leave our heroes alone. |

A Song of Ice and Fire: The Wildling ice-river clans are known for being this (not the Thenns, unlike in the show) as they live north of the Wall which is nothing but ice and snow. They are more savage and primitive than the rest of the Free Folk, who view them with fear and disdain. The people of Skagos are said to be this, and to have once raided the nearby isle of Skane and eaten all the men in a fortnight. Rickon Stark goes there in hiding with Shaggydog and Osha, and Davos Seaworth dreads having to go there to find him, as the island and its inhabitants are infamous among sailors. |

In Warlord of Mars: Dejah Thoris, the eponymous princess discovers a ruined city inhabited by a tribe of savage White Martians that eats exclusively flesh. They aren't picky about what they eat, be it wild beasts they hunt, unfortunate travelers who get lost and even their own dead. In contrast to other examples that are rife with Unfortunate Implications, these savages are blonde haired, blue-eyed and pale skinned, as they are related to the Holy Therns (who are also cannibals themselves, but far more civilized and eat only Red Martian flesh). | |

One episode of The Magnus Archives takes place at a research station in the Amazon jungle, near the territory of a Yanomami tribe (who really exist). Technically cannibals, the statement giver goes out of their way to clarify that the Yanomami only do so as part of their funeral traditions, eating the cremated remains of their loved ones' bones. As she says of the researchers nervous about being in the same area as cannibals, "So you know, calm down, Dr. Livingstone. There’s no way they’d respect your sweaty ass long enough to even consider eating you." When the Yanomami show up at the end of the statement to the lost surviving researchers, they're nothing but helpful, guiding the researchers back to their area of the jungle. | |

Warhammer 40,000 gives us a Recycled In Space version with the Kroot, a race of bird-like aliens loosely based on various "tribal" cultures. While they don't eat each other very much, they do eat everybody else (though smart ones abstain from anything associated with Chaos and the Tyranids. And the Tau, usually, since they're the ones footing the bill for their gastronomic tours of the Milky Way). Because of their Bizarre Alien Biology, they're able to absorb DNA from their meals, playing on the belief prevalent in cultures that practiced cannibalism that you could absorb the strength of people you ate. Depending on the Writer this may in fact be how the Kroot evolved into an intelligent life form, having been fairly ordinary birds until they started scavenging the corpses of some Orks that happened to crash on their planet. | |

Warhammer has the Ogre Kingdoms who are an entire race of this, as they have no quams on eating their own kind should food become scarce. Its not uncommon for Ogre clans to fight each other and the victor eating the defeated clan. | |

Of course, the show being budgeted as it was, we never actually see the cannibals, just Baldrick describing "that crowd of beckoning natives rubbing their tummies and pointing to a large pot." | |

Monkey Island features a former cannibal tribe that has since turned towards vegetarianism (apparently out of concern for their cholesterol levels), and now commit sacrifices to their volcano god, Sherman, with human effigies made out of fresh produce. Although this has had the added benefit of halting the number of daily eruptions (Sherman has a very delicate stomach), it's also completely killed tourism on the island. | |

In the Savage Sword of Conan comics, Conan encountered a cannibal tribe who believe they can become invincible for a short time by "eating the moon", which they accomplish by devouring the flesh of a Human Sacrifice bathed in moonlight. They're absolutely correct, though their invulnerability may be powered by belief. Conan defeats them by "slaying" the moon — he releases a cloud of smoke from a special pellet, which completely obscures the night sky. | |
