The nature of predator and prey is often made more complicated than it needs to be. Especially when the prey just happens to be the protagonist. For instance, if the predator seeks to kill his enemy or turn it into food, one would think that the process would be fairly simple. Just have it catch the prey in its mouth, chew its flesh and/or bones into a nonliving paste, and swallow it. If the character is fodder for the Monster of the Week or a horror antagonist, this doesn't happen. One of the following two outcomes almost always ensues: The predator catches the prey in its mouth. It chews for a while, and then spits it out again. The victim may be injured, or traumatized, or covered in a massive amount of spittle, but he is likely to survive. The predator catches the prey in its mouth, and then swallows it whole without chewing. This may make sense for snakes and sea life, but even toothy carnivores seem to do this. Unfortunately for the predator, this approach tends to result in either a "Fantastic Voyage" Plot or Womb Level on the part of the victim, and often results in the creature's death or discomfort due to damage to vital organs and the like. This version is often used as a family friendly fate for a character, since this isn't obviously graphic. Sounds of the person being chewed up need not be included, and neither does there need to be any blood or remains depicted, though it hinges on the younger members of the audience not realizing that being contained in an airless, claustrophobic, fleshy area and being covered with highly corrosive hydrochloric acid, enzymes and other digestive chemicals would be one of the most horrible deaths imaginable. It also doesn't make sense if the eater is intelligent and savoring the meal at hand, to the point of verbally describing it; swallowing a piece of food whole, especially meat, means you don't really get to taste it. The first example is especially common in video games with a life meter, as getting a Game Over because you made one mistake at full health wouldn't really make for an entertaining boss fight, though the boss may swallow if the player's health reaches zero while they're in its mouth. Those that do kill the player instantly tend to appear in the survival horror genre, or serve as stage obstacles in platformers. The carnivorous equivalent of Just Hit Him. Not to be confused with Just Eat Gilligan. Compare Eat Me when someone deliberately tries to get eaten. May involve a Mouth Cam. May be averted, or at least delayed, by Palate Propping. Contrast Eating the Enemy where the foe actually does (or at least tries to) devour their foe efficiently. |

Disgaea: In Disgaea 3, the Dragon monster class possesses the Inside Tour attack, which has the dragon smack the target into the air, vacuum them into its mouth, swallow them, poop them out, then nail them with a tail strike while they're stuck in the swirly pink poop pile. Can be used to hilarious effect in a combination attack, where the target can get subjected to more abuse while in their humiliating state, or more ridiculously, the other attacker can get swallowed along with them, and proceed to audibly pummel them through the entire process. In Disgaea 4, the Cockatrice has its Reverse Egg magichange attack, which has its snake tail enlarge and devour a multitude of targets, after which the bird proceeds to spit them out as eggs. |

Ranma ½: More of a case of "just butcher him," but whenever Ryoga Hibiki almost gets eaten while stuck in pig form, the eater inevitably decides, instead of killing him and chopping him up, to boil him alive like a lobster. Fortunately this turns him back into a man (who, since he's Made of Iron, only turns red rather than get covered in third-degree burns). He gets even luckier in his first encounter with Shampoo, who doesn't even try to cook him; she just knocks him out and puts him on a plate. | |

In Heart of Darkness, the hero Andy is once swallowed whole by a Giant Mook. This looks like an endgame but isn't, because the toad-like monster had earlier swallowed Andy's plasma riffle... and the hero can recover his weapon in the mook's stomach and blast it from the inside. He is not, however, so lucky in many of his death animations. | |

Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando plays this straight during the optional fight against the giant swamp-monster mother—if Ratchet is swallowed whole by the beast but still has life left afterward, the beast will then hurl him back out and pick its teeth. The giant venus flytrap plants on Oozla will snap their jaw-like, toothed petals closed on Ratchet, then "chew" briefly before releasing him. The Giant Mutated Protopet at the end swallows Captain Qwark whole. He gets spit out intact when Ratchet wins the final boss battle. |

Looney Tunes: Played for laughs in more than one cat-chasing-prey comedy. On at least one occasion, Sylvester has successfully eaten Tweety Bird, at which point Tweety starts walking around in Sylvester's head and eventually escapes. Even taking wacky cartoon/Rule of Funny physics as a given, it makes the whole exercise seem rather pointless. Another example took this only a tiny bit more realistically. Sylvester and Tweety are staying in a hospital and Nurse Granny finds Sylvester looking full with feathers in his mouth. She rushes him to an X-ray and Tweety's silhouette is seen in Sylvester's stomach. Cut to Sylvester in his bed with a surgical bandage on his stomach and a completely unharmed Tweety next to him saying "Bad ol' puddytat!" |

In NetHack, purple worms swallow their victims whole (which is a nod to their D&D origins, discussed above). If said victim is your character, you do have a chance to cut or blast yourself free, but you'd better make it quick. If you're wearing a ring of slow digestion, the worm automatically spits you back out. This attack form also means that PWs make useful pets if you can magically tame them, but you and the worm may eventually learn that swallowing certain types of creatures is a really bad idea. | |

While usually averted in the Kirby series in the sense that you just completely defeat an enemy you eat, it's played straight for an actually scarier effect when fighting Dedede in Kirby's Dream Land 3 and Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. He mutates as an Eldritch Abomination and eats Kirby with a huge eyed mouth from his stomach and spits him from the mouth. Note that here being eaten causes the damage, while normally it's caused because of being spit against a wall at full strength. | |

World of Warcraft: One boss, C'Thun, is an Expy of Cthulhu, and will eat players if the fight goes on long enough. When that happens they are taken to another room—basically, his stomach—where they should attack internal organs to weaken him, but they take substantial damage from being digested.

The Warcraft games have Kodo Beasts which can devour most enemy units whole. They slowly lose health until being digested completely. It seems they are pretty fine before though, since they still provide field of view for enemy players in there, and when the Kodo is killed, they simply get out. Dryads are indigestible due to spell immunity. They can be swallowed perfectly well, but will then remain alive in the kodo indefinitely. | |

Schlock from Schlock Mercenary can, and often does, just eat enemies. In some cases he'll burn them to ashes, then eat the ashes. When asked if he eats his enemies as his fallback option, he responded that he eats his enemies because they are delicious. He does it so frequently Ennesby even invented a new word for this, and Doctor Bunnigus refers to it as "brunch at the zero-evidence buffet". |

Averted in Resident Evil 4. Sometimes, your enemies' heads will explode, releasing the parasite inside their body in several different ways. In one of these ways, the parasite is merely a mouth on an enormous neck that can take Leon's head off in one bite. There's also a boss monster that can gobble you up. Likewise Gamma Hunters, Frog-like monsters in Resident Evil 3 and the Outbreak series, can swallow a character whole, resulting in an instant kill. |

Tales of... In Tales of Symphonia, there are two enemies that will swallow your characters and then spit them out. (It's said enemies' strongest combo attack and can poison you in the case of the aptly named Carnivorous Plant.) The Rockgagong in Tales of Graces devours the party and serves as a short dungeon (They end up escaping with a pouch of pepper they acquired by accident). It also tries to snap up anyone to who's standing too close to its face while you're fighting it as an Optional Boss later, which removes any victims for the rest of the battle. For some awkward reason, this attack is blockable, which makes it a lot less threatening it sounds (Unless the AI is the one standing close to it...). |

In Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition, some creatures have a special attack called "Swallow Whole" which causes massive damage by crushing and acid. It is possible for a victim to cut their way out (in which case, inexplicably, "muscular action closes the hole" without exception) or in some cases, climb back into the mouth and out. Notably, it is a semi-feasible strategy to fight the legendary Tarrasque from within, as its spell-reflecting carapace and absurd number of natural weapons make it more dangerous on the outside. (Acid-resistance spells are still a good idea, though.) In 4th Edition, it's no longer possible to carve your way out of the creature until it's dead. Creatures still have much lower internal AC than external, though. Some monsters still have an escape roll option; some are insubstantial or gelatinous so you literally push through, the rest you can only assume you crawl back out their mouth. Or somewhere else. As an aside, the game's titular dragons are by and large not among the monsters who try this, despite being big enough to do it as they grow older (doing so requires the dragon take certain feats). In the Blood War, the conflict between devils and demons, a lot of Mooks that form fiendish armies, like lemures and manes, don't stay dead under most condition, having incredible regenerative abiliies. One way to make sure they stay dead is to eat them, and this is often a practical method used by fiends on the opposing army. Any fiend worth his salt has little qualms against eating sentient beings, after all. Still, this method doesn't work for mortals who fight fiends, even members of races who are willing to do it; the flesh of fiends isn't something that any mortal creature could stomach... |

Horribly averted in one episode, "The Boy Who Cried Rat", of The Ren & Stimpy Show. Ren pretends to be an invading mouse so that his resulting havoc will force the house's owners to hire and pay for Stimpy, who is masquerading as a mouse catcher. When Stimpy is forcibly encouraged by the house's husband to eat rather than release the mouse aka Ren, Stimpy tries to hold him in his mouth, but again is encouraged by the husband to chew it so he can eat it faster. Cue Ren inside shown being grinded back and forth between Stimpy's suddenly humongous teeth. And being a cartoon character, Ren lives through the entire experience, albeit heavily mutilated (by cartoon standards). | |

This is very common in The Legend of Zelda series. Like-Likes have appeared in the series since the first game. Their main attack is to swallow Link whole, then spit him out with only minor damage. This may be justified, considering that the creatures seem more interested in devouring his shield or armor. Any boss monster that actually manages to catch Link in its mouth tends to merely do several hearts of damage and then release him. Recent 3D games treat this as a mini-cutscene. Moldworms, unlike most swallowing enemies, do not spit Link out, rather putting him through the entire digestive process (yeesh). Strangely, this is not necessarily fatal. |

Super Mario Bros. Yoshi's Story has an boss made of cotton candy or something similar that you have to lick until nothing remains. You get health every time you lick it, so suffice to say it is an easy boss. Yoshi's Island has a boss battle where you are eaten by a frog, and must kill it from the inside. Paper Mario In Paper Mario 64, Mario is asked to do battle with Tubba Blubba, who's been eating Boos. Once he is defeated, he decides to open his mouth and let them all go, they all come flying out. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Koops goes with Mario, partially to avenge his father, presumed dead. When they defeat the dragon who ate him, he's regurgitated and is spit out. Despite having been in there for many years, he's fine, except his shell smells of dragon insides. |

In the video for Miserable after letting the guys walk all over her bikini-clad body and flirtatiously toying with them for most of the video's runtime the Giant Woman (played by Pamela Anderson ) spends the last half of the video trying to eat them. However, she's actually pretty good at it, catching each guy one-by-one and swallowing him alive with a little playful flair (snapping up one guy standing on her lips, slurping one guy up and spitting out his shoe, throwing one guy into the air and catching him in her mouth) and by the end she's successfully devoured every one of them and contentedly saunters away. | |

A family-friendly variant occurs in an episode of A Pup Named Scooby-Doo. The Scooby Snack factory is being haunted by a cheese monster, and when he goes after Scooby at the end of the episode, he locks himself and Scoob in a room to go after him. His fatal mistake being his costume is made out of actual cheese, and he’s now trapped in a room with a perpetually hungry Great Dane puppy. When the rest of the gang finally get the door open, the “cheese monster� is running out of the room in his underwear as a very happy Scooby just sits in the corner and pats his now distended belly. | |

Rationalized in Animorphs: Megamorphs #2. The victim managed to avoid the T. rex's teeth long enough to acquire the dinosaur's DNA and turn into a duplicate of it. This transformation was sufficient to make something inside the T. rex go all 'splodey. You try swallowing something that proceeds to start growing inside you. Earlier, Rachel and Tobias got swallowed by a Kronosaurus. Rachel then turned into a bear and mauled her way into its lungs looking for breathable air (whereupon it conveniently beached itself to die). It also plays the horrific nature of what that would entail quite graphically, making quite clear that our heroes are being covered in very painful stomach acids. Plus, Kronosaurus is actually big enough to pull this off. |

Razor Eddie allows himself to be eaten by a huge worm-like monster in Sharper Than A Serpent's Tooth, specifically so he can evoke this trope and cut it to ribbons from within. Simon R. Green also used a variant of this trope in The Bones of Haven, when a sewer-lurking giant spider's corpse lands on Hawk, apparently pinning him underwater. Actually, he ends up inside its abdomen, and must cut his way out with his ax. A partial subversion in that it hadn't eaten Hawk, just collapsed on top of him when he'd cut its body open from beneath. |

Jak and Daxter averts this in one partially-submerged town. If you fall in the water and remain there for more than a few moments, you will instantly die when a huge fish eats you. Even if you make it out of the water, if the fish was close enough, it may just jump over your tiny floating platform to eat you anyway. Also, when the fish is coming for you, the music stops and is replaced by a slow heartbeat sound, which manages to be absolutely terrifying, especially since it takes place in the mostly-peaceful mission hub. | |

Warhammer 40,000: Tyranid Mawlocs have a tendency to swallow people whole. And they're still alive as they're being digested. Actually discussed in the Ciaphas Cain novels. Inquisitor Amberley Vail points out victims are likely crushed by muscular action or suffocated long before they have to worry about being digested. She also notes that isn't nearly as comforting as she intended it to sound. The tabletop rules also subvert most of the downsides of the trope; the swallowed target is killed outright with no chance to cut his or her way to freedom. |

Averted in Warhammer. Giants use randomly determined attacks. Among the possibilities is "pick up and eat", which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin, and an instant kill no matter what cool magic items or special abilities the target may have. Played straight if eaten by Ghurk of the Brothers Glott, from the End Times campaign; The fluff explains that Ghurk eats his victims alive, and expels them as virulent, mummified sacks which are later used to bombard the enemy at sea. |

Kronos the Titan swallowed all of his children, and in God of War III, he does the same to Kratos at the climax of their fight. It backfires spectacularly when Kratos being Kratos, just cuts his way out of Kronos' stomach with the Blade of Olympus. Ouch. Technically also occurs in the first game with the Hydra, though it could be considered a subversion since it is voluntary. | |

Men in Black is yet another good example, although admittedly he gets goaded into it. Edgar, a giant cockroach, is fighting Agents J and K. K successfully goads Edgar into swallowing him, but he still doesn't chew. | |

Subverted in Star Wars: Battlefront II. When playing the Jabba's Palace map, one must take care in the throne room to avoid the area directly in front of Jabba himself, lest you fall through the same trap door seen in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and be eaten in one chomp by the Rancor. Note that there is another way into the Rancor Pit; the Rancor doesn't notice anyone who enters by that door. There's also a level with a Sarlacc pit in the original (again, One-Hit Kill if you're eaten by it). |

Turok: Dinosaur Hunter has a T. rex boss that will heft you up in his jaws and swallow you down whole in a cutscene after he brings your lifebar to zero. You would think he'd chew you up with those sharp teeth but he doesn't. This might or might not just happen if you get too close to him and die, because he does have some miniguns and rocket launchers strapped to his back. | |

In Buffy the Vampire Slayer (2002), the titular character faces down a giant snake monster thingie in Angel's mansion. Play wrong and Buffy gets chomped on... then thrown aside. Granted, she is durable... but other vampires try to go for the throat. It's very confusing. | |

The ending of Godzilla 2000 has Orga expanding his jaws like a snake. Godzilla, realizing his opponent has made a fatal mistake, willingly goes inside, and as Orga absorbs more of his DNA and begins growing Godzilla-like spines, Godzilla charges up his atomic breath to a point where he starts glowing orange. When he fires the beam, he blows the top half of Orga's body to bits. | |

In Muramasa: The Demon Blade, while in Hell, Momohime has to let herself be eaten by an Oni in order to retrieve Jinkuro's soul after she unwittenly causes it to be eaten. She even convinces it to swallow her whole for her plan to work. Given that she has swords, getting out it easy (and takes a whole life bar from the Oni). What's strange is that midway through the fight, the Oni will try and eat her again, leading to the same outcome, despite having been slashed from the inside before. Hell, it poses minimum threat. | |

In Tremors 3: Back to Perfection, Burt actually gets eaten by a Graboid at one point. Fortunately, it swallows him whole and he still had his walkie-talkie on him, so he was able to coach the nearby Jack into tricking Graboid into smashing itself against one of the underground concrete walls surrounding his compound. Jack, in turn, manages to dig down to the Graboid and cut it open in time to get Burt safely out. Justified, since Burt wound up taking refuge in a 55-gallon steel drum while being swallowed (so he had some "chewing armor.") Of course, the drum was nowhere to be seen when it came time to chainsaw Burt back out. |

In Bowdlerized versions of some fairy tales, most notably Little Red Riding Hood, it often turns out that the wolf (or similar predator) swallowed its victim whole, thus allowing for a happy reunion after the events have played out. Subverted by an adaptation of Peter and the Wolf by "Weird Al" Yankovic. "Which means the gastric juices slowly dissolved his body and he died a long, painful death." Subverted with a vengeance in Todd McFarlane's Twisted Fairy Tales line of figures, in which Little Red Riding Hood, clad in a leather bikini, hooded cloak, and thigh-high spiked boots, holds up the corpse of an eviscerated wolf to show the messy contents of his stomach (which included Grandma). In reference to this, Granny Weatherwax said: "That's just what children get told." |

In Spirited Away, No-Face swallows first a talking frog (taking on its voice), and then a pair of bath attendants, only to vomit them later (unharmed) along all the food he'd gobbled down. Though, as he's a very strange shadow creature, eating and digesting are probably just unnatural for No-Face. He absorbed his surroundings—in that case, the greed and avarice of the bathhouse. He took on the voice of everyone he'd swallowed at once. Purged of his greed (and everything else) he returned to his original mild-mannered appearance. |
