This is a strategy by which a character intentionally allows their enemy to consume them so that they can attack it from the inside. There are two basic variations on this. The first type is typically used against Extreme Omnivore monsters which have no compunction against just eating the hero. The hero allows the monster to swallow him whole so that he can blast its unprotected insides. The second type is used against villains in The Assimilator mold. The hero lets the villain assimilate him or absorb his powers, which turns out to actually hurt the villain by in some way; through poisoning, or passing on an infection or curse, or by being just so Blessed with Suck that gaining his power is actually a hindrance to the villain. This strategy can also be used by villains, but is much rarer, mainly because as a result of Bad Powers, Bad People few heroes have abilities that involve eating or assimilating their opponents. When the result is unexpected rather than planned or is played for laughs, that's Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth. Let's Meet the Meat is the trope for when the meal really does want to be eaten, and presumably what this one looks like from the eater's perspective, until they start having trouble digesting it. For the explosive version, see Feed It a Bomb. For versions where the hero wasn't counting on getting eaten but busts out anyway, see Kill It Through Its Stomach. If Satan or a senior member of the infernal hierarchy is doing the eating, this can lead to a tour of the Bloody Bowels of Hell. Not to be confused with Schmuck Banquet. Contrast Regret Eating Me. Compare Protection in Mouth, for a benevolent version of this. |

A certain maggot demon in Devil May Cry 2 is a bore to kill since it spends so much time burrowing under the ground. Get eaten, however, and Dante will burst out and destroy the creature, even if you do take damage in the process. Eat Me can be invoked by the player against Nightmare in DMC 1. It's dangerous inside that thing, but you can get a health item by destroying the enemies inside. |

In Sluggy Freelance, the Anthropomorphic Personification of the year 2003 goads the Groundhog's Shadow into killing him and claiming his power by right of caste. This grants the Groundhog's Shadow all of 2003's considerable power, but also means that it will die when the year ends — which is in twenty seconds... Incidentally, this would also kill the switchblade-wielding mini-lop that the Shadow was bound to. |

Doraemon films: Towards the end of Doraemon: Nobita and the Castle of the Undersea Devil, with most of the heroes except Doraemon a dShizuka defeated and captured alive by Poseidon, Doraemon's last attempts to take down Poseidon with a grenade fails. But Buggy, the Sentient Vehicle hiding in Doraemon's Fourth-Dimensional Pocket who had grown close to Shizuka during the adventure, sees her crying and in a rage, shoots himself out of the pocket towards Poseidon. One of Poseidon's mooks managed to fire a shot at Buggy, but Buggy forced himself into Poseidon's mouth before he explodes, taking down the villain in the process. Professor Napogistra from Doraemon: Nobita and the Tin Labyrinth, the mad AI controlling all the hostile robots on Mechatopia, was taken down when Doraemon fires a disc - with Doraemon's Mini-Me, Mini-Dora sitting on it - into Napogistra's mouth. Cue Napogistra coughing out Mini-Dora seconds later, and Doraemon and Nobita collecting Mini-Dora before leaving as Napogistra and his robots began malfunctioning in a few minutes. Doraemon: Nobita and the Windmasters have Nobita's pet, Fuuko, sacrificing herself to destroy the all-powerful elemental dragon, Mafuga, by absorbing the heat from a volcano and entering Mafuga's mouth while being enforced by the Wind Tribe. She ends up separating the parts Mafuga are made of permanently, destroying the monster but at the cost of her life. |

Done another way in Angel. Angel is confronted by a necromancer who specializes in giving ghosts and demons a new physical body. In order to do this, the necromancer allows the ghost to pass through him first. In order to help Angel, a newly resurrected and incorporeal Spike plays Fake Defector and convinces the necromancer to put him into Angel's body. Once in the necromancer's body, Spike possesses him and stops him using his powers, letting Angel kill him easily. (The more direct approach against someone who controls corpses had not gone well for a vampire.) Though Spike keeps attacking until Angel chops his head off. | |

In the Looney Tunes cartoon "The Unexpected Pest", Sylvester forces a mouse to be chased in front of his owners to keep from being kicked out, and if he doesn't it's "down the hatch". Eventually, the mouse catches on and realizes that if something were to happen to him, Sylvester was out on the street. So he jumps into Sylvester's mouth and dares him to eat him. "Down the hatch? I dare ya! I double dare ya!" A cowed Sylvester refuses. | |

When Father, the one responsible for turning them into a philosopher's stone, attempts to absorb Hohenheim's stone into himself, the souls seize their chance for vengeance and tear his body apart from the inside. It didn't work. Fortunately, Hohenheim had a backup plan... | |

Dragon Ball: In Dragon Ball, Piccolo had sealed Kami-sama in a bottle and then swallowed it. Therefore, Goku couldn't attack him at full power. When Piccolo shows his ability to become a giant, Goku provokes him to grow to his maximum size, and then shoots himself down Piccolo's throat. Piccolo vomits him as quickly as he could, but not before Goku hits his insides and recovers the bottle. In Dragon Ball Z, Super Buu turned Vegito into candy and made the mistake of trying to eat him. Super Buu was also fond of pulling a forced Eat Me on his opponents, turning himself into goo and flying down their throats until they explode. This backfired on him when he tried to go down Vegetto's throat; Vegetto was able to contain him and beat the crap out of him from the outside by punching himself. In Dragon Ball GT, Majuub has his own attack reflected against him by the Big Bad, Baby, turning him into chocolate. Baby promptly swallows him whole. Later, when Baby has The Hero Goku on the ropes, Majuub reveals that he planned for that to happen, so he could attack Baby from within his own body. |

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: In his last battle as the Green Ranger, Tommy tricks Turbanshell into swallowing him so that he can weaken Turbanshell from the inside with a heat blaster. He collapses from heatstroke briefly before getting back up to finish the job. It's an awesome scene — Turbanshell is walking along, saying "Hm, what should I destroy next..." and then suddenly cries out in pain as "Go Green Ranger Go" starts playing. | |

In Inuyasha, Naraku feigns being beaten at his own game and lets himself be absorbed by Moryomaru when Moryomaru tries to prove that he has surpassed him. Naraku promptly regenerates inside Moryomaru, removes his core, and then assimilates him. Probably shouldn't have assimilated the guy who came up with the idea to assimilate people in the first place, Moryomaru. | |

In The Adventures of Dr. McNinja, in a Bad Future conquered by superintelligent dinosaurs, Dan and Mitzi McNinja battle the Horrorsaurus. It swallows Mitzi whole, and then Dan dives in after her. While being digested in its stomach, Mitzi asks Dan why he followed her, revealing that she's decked out with explosives and got swallowed in order to kill it from within. Dan whips out his own vest of explosives, and replies, "You didn't pack enough." | |

Deathlands has a variation in "Ice and Fire". Ryan Cawdor is attacked by a mutant cockroach that latches onto his face. He's worried that if he just tears it off he'll lose a chuck of his face with it, so he opens his mouth to tempt it into feasting on his soft tongue, then when the cockroach tries to crawl inside, bites its head off and spits it out. The reactions of his True Companions range from admiration to nausea. | |

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: Drax the Destroyer has the brilliant idea of killing the extradimensional monster through its stomach when its skin proves too tough to puncture. Gamora points out to Drax (or at least tries to) that the skin would be just as thick as it would be on the inside (which Star-Lord helpfully points out to Gamora). When Gamora guts it by using a tiny wound to get in, Drax pops out of the belly covered in Alien Blood and other fluids and full of the idea that he was the only one who killed it. | |

In Dungeons & Dragons, this can actually be a good strategy for fighting very large monsters, as they're generally not armored nearly so well on the inside as the outside! But since the stomach of a creature that regularly swallows its food whole is not exactly a hospitable place, you'd better have a lot of HP. Usually swallowed people may use only short weapons, though. What isn't a good strategy is deliberately getting swallowed, cutting your way out, and letting the creature bleed to death, because "muscular action" instantly closes the hole behind you, pretty much specifically to prevent this. In addition many creatures with Swallow Whole have multiple attacks, the end result being that its stomach is less damaging than being the focus of its attacks. The most notable example is the Tarrasque; you're safer in its stomach than within arm's reach of its claws. In the History of Ashes arc in the Pathfinder campaign setting, the players are given the quest of provoking a giant fiery sandworm into eating them and then cutting their way out to win over a xenophobic tribe of Sclar Qua. It Makes Sense in Context. The Purple Worm — a gargantuan purple earthwormlike creature — is the archetypical D&D monster for this trope, in that it's one of the few creatures — if not the only creature — who has both a "swallow whole" attack that doesn't incapacitate the victim and detailed rules for what happens to anyone inside the creature and how they can affect it in every edition of the game. |

The Queen Metroid from Metroid II: Return of Samus. The most common way to beat her is to be eaten by her, plant bombs in her gut... and get spit up so you can repeat the process multiple times. Getting eaten in morph ball form and bombing your way out is necessary to get past certain creatures in the Metroid Prime series, such as the Stone Toad and Amorbis. Another Queen Metroid shows up in Metroid: Other M. You eventually kill it with a Power Bomb from the inside. |

In Digimon: The Movie, Magnamon and Rapidmon let Cherubimon swallow them so they can attack the virus within it. Though this only happens in the Dub. In the original, Cherubimon tricked them into thinking they beat him, but instead materialized behind them and munched them. However a nose variation was used by War Greymon to finish off Metal Seadramon, even cooler though is that he deflected another attack before doing this. | |

In Forgotten Realms / Planescape cycle Lost Gods the illithid god agreed to let protagonists go only for a ransom of "unique information", draining it right from the victim's mind. The bard paid, naturally, with a not-yet-performed song. By the time illithids across the whole Multiverse began to rhythmically twitch, Ilsensine decided it would be better off without this sort of "unique information". | |

Vice-Admiral Momonga allows a Sea King to eat him, and just cuts his way out in the most badass way possible. In the 12th movie, Lily's plan to defeat Shuzo is to shrink herself to the size of a pebble so Usopp can use his slingshot to propel her into the villain's mouth. Then she plans to expand. (A rather gory idea, but effective.) However, Usopp misses, and Luffy swallows her. Okay, Time for Plan B; Lily decides to expand anyway, and due to Luffy's own stretchable nature, he grows to giant size (uh-huh, Sure, Let's Go with That...), and is able to fight Shuzo mano-a-mano. |

Professor Napogistra from Doraemon: Nobita and the Tin Labyrinth, the mad AI controlling all the hostile robots on Mechatopia, was taken down when Doraemon fires a disc - with Doraemon's Mini-Me, Mini-Dora sitting on it - into Napogistra's mouth. Cue Napogistra coughing out Mini-Dora seconds later, and Doraemon and Nobita collecting Mini-Dora before leaving as Napogistra and his robots began malfunctioning in a few minutes. | |

In Dragon Ball, Piccolo had sealed Kami-sama in a bottle and then swallowed it. Therefore, Goku couldn't attack him at full power. When Piccolo shows his ability to become a giant, Goku provokes him to grow to his maximum size, and then shoots himself down Piccolo's throat. Piccolo vomits him as quickly as he could, but not before Goku hits his insides and recovers the bottle. | |

Avengers: Infinite Wars; When Steve Rogers is briefly forced to act as a gladiator on an alien world, when fighting the Gorog (a larger kind of rancor), he borrows a lightsaber from Aayla Secura and lets the creature eat him so that he can cut at it from the inside, where its metal armour isn't a defence. During her campaign against Queen Zalem on Dathomir, Wanda kills a Whuffla worm that just swallowed a friend of hers by letting the worm swallow her as well so that she can attack it from the inside with her new lightsaber. |

Dragon Ball Z: In the Majin Buu arc, the leader of the Kaioshin let Buu eat him. Absorbing his personality changed the Omnicidal Maniac Evil Kid Buu into the far more affable Fat Buu. Vegetto lets Super Buu absorb him so he can rescue the other people who were absorbed; this turns into an entire "Fantastic Voyage" Plot. Since unlike the previous victims, Vegetto was prepared to be swallowed (as well as being really freaking powerful), he was able to cover himself with a ki barrier that allowed him to move freely inside Buu's body instead of being trapped like the other absorbees. |

In one episode of Unforgotten Realms, the group ends up having to fight an ogre. The ogre is too strong for them to hurt with anything besides poison, and it's doing more damage than they can handle. So Sir Schmoopy casts an enlarging spell on Petey the rat and tells him to swallow the rest of them in order to wait for the poison to finish the ogre. | |
