Cave Mouth | comment |
There's a good reason the entrance to any underground cavern is called a "mouth". Consider that the mouth is a breeding ground for bacterianote (both good and bad); it's dark, and damp, too, and has a lot of sharp objects lining its roof and floor. Now consider a typical cave: Dark, possibly damp, a breeding ground for all sorts of unsavory creatures, with stalagmites on the floor and sharp (and occasionally falling) stalactites lining the ceiling... So is it any wonder that sometimes authors can't resist making a Visual Pun out of the "mouth" to a cave? See also Beware the Skull Base, which often features this trope with the mouth being the dead jaws of a giant creature, and Poorly Lit Pareidolia. Sometimes this goes beyond the visual metaphor and actually becomes a plot-relevant — perhaps That's No Cave. |

In the third season of The Animals of Farthing Wood, Bully the would-be king rat lives and holds council inside of a rocky outcropping that resembles an upturned rat's head. Two caves at the bottom half of the outcrop heighten the resemblence by making it look like a giant stony rat screaming in rage or defiance, with the single column of stone between the openings looking like giant incisors plunging into the soil. | |

In another book, Armies of Death, you're given the choice of entering three different cave mouths as part of a trial to seek the Oracle. If you chose the wrong mouth (obtainable from a clue earlier during your adventure in Zengis), it will lead to a dead end, and as you retreat the mouth will seal itself shut behind you, leading to a Non Standard Game Over of being permanently trapped. | |

Doctor Who: In "The Face of Evil", a giant face of the Doctor has been carved into the cliff by the mad computer. The Doctor indignantly rejects the idea that they enter the cave by climbing up "his" nostrils. "It's up over the tongue and down the throat." Similarly, the Eighth Doctor encounters a creature who was a mountain, and its many cave entrances part of him. |

One comic of Conan the Barbarian has a rather literal example of this. In his efforts to steal two strangely eye-like (yet angled) gems from a greedy merchant, Conan and the merchant both go chasing after the gems when they start flying through the air, leading them through a strangely mouth-like cave (with irregular sets of "teeth" set the whole way through) to a large central chamber that is covered with deep piles of gemstones. The merchant immediately dives into the mixed array of rubies, diamonds, sapphires, emeralds and other gems, noting that it's extremely strange to see so many different types of gem in the same place, but too blinded by greed to care. Conan is more cautious, and thusly he survives when it turns out they're in the stomach/throat of some kind of mountainous earth elemental. The merchant is devoured. | |

In The 10th Kingdom, the cave entrance is not just shaped like a dragon's head, it's an actual dragon's head. A dead, fossilized dragon (hence the name "Dragon Mountain"). This introduces a bit of Squick when the cast must take mining sleds down along the spine and ribs toward the actual mine and get tossed out the other end. | |

One of the vignettes in the second edition Discworld Roleplaying Game has a clacks operative reading a message about the Diamond King of Trolls to what he thinks is an empty cave in a hill. Then a voice comes from the cave and he thinks there's someone in there after all. Then the hill moves... | |

In Aladdin, the Cave of Wonders' opening is a big tiger's mouth with sharp teeth. It also talks. ("Who disturbs my slumber?") Aladdin and the King of Thieves has a huge Turtle Island whose mouth was like a cave. |

In the eleventh Give Yourself Goosebumps book, Deep in the Jungle of Doom, one path has you entering a cave that is strangely damp, with soft pink walls. It turns out you're in the mouth of a giant rock monster, and your friend let it eat you in exchange for her own life. Naturally, this is a Bad Ending, and ends with you being Swallowed Whole and waiting for death as you plunge towards the stomach... | |

The Cave of the Golden Rose from Fantaghirò is actually a monster's mouth, and the rose is its uvula. The cave even gave its name to most translations. | |

In The Brave Little Toaster, the gang of appliances is seeking shelter and Lampy discovers a hollow tree. He hops in, calls to his friends, then turns on his light. From the outside, the illumination creates a scary face like a jack-o'-lantern, and everyone else screams and vanishes into the bushes. Lampy can't see it because he's inside the tree itself, once he figures it out, hilarity ensues. | |

Fighting Fantasy often features caves resembling the maws of giant monsters, for instance the Mouth of Glund in Spectral Stalkers. The very first book, The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, references this trope in its very first page, where you enter the warlock's domain through a cave that "resembles the giant mouth of some infernal beast". In another book, Armies of Death, you're given the choice of entering three different cave mouths as part of a trial to seek the Oracle. If you chose the wrong mouth (obtainable from a clue earlier during your adventure in Zengis), it will lead to a dead end, and as you retreat the mouth will seal itself shut behind you, leading to a Non Standard Game Over of being permanently trapped. |
