A character swallows a key for safekeeping, whether to lock something or someone inside a device or room. Since you usually don't get something back once it's been swallowed, this typically serves as visual shorthand that the character in question has no intention of the lock it goes to being opened, ever. It also makes an effective way of enforcing that desire; whatever happens with that lock from this point onward, it's usually a safe bet that it won't involve that key being used to open it. Subtrope of Eating Solves Everything. Sister-trope to Eat the Evidence. May be indicative of Crazy Consumption. See also Stomach of Holding, Extreme Omnivore. Compare Treasure Chest Cavity, Phlebotinum Muncher. Could be a rather unfortunate outcome of Pet Gets the Keys or Jail Bake. |

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Big Baba's first appearance is in the Forest Temple, where it swallows a key to a monkey's cage to prevent Link from freeing it. Link just defeats the head, but not the bud area, which serves as the main body and where the key is kept in. Link needs to use a Bombling to destroy the bud in order for the beast to cough up the key. | |

Tales from the Crypt "Carrion Death" has a criminal and a cop that are handcuffed together. The cop is killed, but he manages to swallow the key before the criminal can get it, forcing the criminal to lug the dead cop along as he attempts to escape across the desert. Mr. Duvall of "Dead Wait" swallows a highly-valuable black pearl to keep Red from stealing it. Unfortunately, Red has a knife and no compunction about murder, so this backfires rather gruesomely. |

In one episode of El ChapulÃn Colorado, evil pirate Alma Negra imprison part of his crew and and swallows the key so they can't escape. Parodied in that he even added some salt to the key before swallowing. Also a subversion since he actually needed to release them later on, and it wasn't until he swallowed the key that he noticed the flaw with his plan. | |

In Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Luigi has to deal with the playful yet mischievous Polterpup, who eats the items he needs to progress in three different levels. Each level ends with Luigi finally capturing Polterpup after traversing the entire area and chasing the dog throughout said area. The first two times, Polterpup manages to escape captivity, thus setting up his additional appearances, but after the third time, Luigi gets the dog sealed up for good. | |

Looney Tunes: In the short "Fin n' Catty", a cat corners a fish inside a shower, so he locks the door and swallows the key. Only then does the cat realize the shower stall is filled with water (which cats hate, as everyone knows) and he tries to punch the key out of his stomach. In the short "Hyde and Tweet", Sylvester did this after finally capturing Tweety. Only after Tweety's transformation does Sylvester realize that he's trapped. |

At one point, underground, the player must find a key to progress past a door. The key is really easy to find. An undead dog then comes along and decides to swallow it.

Final Fantasy XIV has the whale primal, Bismarck, eat floating islands to sustain its strength. One of the islands it swallowed happened to have a very important key to a floating city which both the protagonists and antagonists are hunting for. This creates a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario; ignore the key while the primal continues to consume islands and eventually the planet's life force or kill the primal to get the key and risk the bad guys of coming in to steal it. The latter happens. | |

Each level ends with Luigi finally capturing Polterpup after traversing the entire area and chasing the dog throughout said area. The first two times, Polterpup manages to escape captivity, thus setting up his additional appearances, but after the third time, Luigi gets the dog sealed up for good. In Luigi's Mansion 3: Luigi is haunted twice over by Polterkitty, who pops out of the elevator control panel with the button he just tried to install, subsequently swallowing it whole and forcing him to chase after it. It gets away via detachable tails, but it only has so many of those. No need to ask why he doesn't try to use the elevator anyway; even if the hotel wasn't haunted, Luigi's a plumber, not an electrician. One of the elevator buttons also repeatedly gets stolen and swallowed by some of the rats around the hotel, though they're considerably easier to deal with compared to Polterkitty. |

Mario Party 7: The Bowser minigame Tunnel of Lava! begins as a Mechakoopa eats a key, then leaves and returns with other 15 Mechakoopas; the solo player has to proceed to defeat them, as one of them is the one which has the key that opens the exit door. The problem is that some of them begin to breathe fire, and touching it will stun the player, wasting precious time (and the limit is only 30 seconds). The Mechakoopas will also march in a rotating pattern, making the timing to stomp them more difficult. Luckily, as soon as the player stomps the Mechakoopa that ate the key, the minigame ends successfully. | |

Super Mario Bros.: Luigi's Mansion (Series): In Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Luigi has to deal with the playful yet mischievous Polterpup, who eats the items he needs to progress in three different levels. Each level ends with Luigi finally capturing Polterpup after traversing the entire area and chasing the dog throughout said area. The first two times, Polterpup manages to escape captivity, thus setting up his additional appearances, but after the third time, Luigi gets the dog sealed up for good. In Luigi's Mansion 3: Luigi is haunted twice over by Polterkitty, who pops out of the elevator control panel with the button he just tried to install, subsequently swallowing it whole and forcing him to chase after it. It gets away via detachable tails, but it only has so many of those. No need to ask why he doesn't try to use the elevator anyway; even if the hotel wasn't haunted, Luigi's a plumber, not an electrician. One of the elevator buttons also repeatedly gets stolen and swallowed by some of the rats around the hotel, though they're considerably easier to deal with compared to Polterkitty. Mario Party 7: The Bowser minigame Tunnel of Lava! begins as a Mechakoopa eats a key, then leaves and returns with other 15 Mechakoopas; the solo player has to proceed to defeat them, as one of them is the one which has the key that opens the exit door. The problem is that some of them begin to breathe fire, and touching it will stun the player, wasting precious time (and the limit is only 30 seconds). The Mechakoopas will also march in a rotating pattern, making the timing to stomp them more difficult. Luckily, as soon as the player stomps the Mechakoopa that ate the key, the minigame ends successfully. |

In the pilot of The Invisible Man, villain Arnaud DeFöhn attempted to escape with the data on the I-Man project by swallowing a vital data drive when Darien confronted him. Unfortunately for Arnaud, by the time the drive had passed through his system his stomach acid had caused so much damage that the vital data was lost, preventing him from creating his own Invisible Man. | |

Two x-rays later, the key is nowhere to be found... because he never swallowed it in the first place.

Prison Break: In the first season finale, T-Bag handcuffs himself to Michael so that John Abruzzi and the other escapees can't get rid of him. He even swallows the key before it can be taken from him. In the end, Abruzzi frees Michael simply by cutting T-Bag's handcuffed hand off with an ax. In Rendezvous, when Bradley Bellick and Roy Geary are about to get the key to the locker where T-Bag has hidden Charles Westmoreland's five million dollars, he swallows the key. They end up getting the key anyway by tying up T-Bag on a toilet and feeding him laxatives. |

Reincarnation: Riley's Out Again: Exploited similarly to the example in the Playing With page. The demon gets the key from a man by powering a magnet with an electric eel, which makes it a Chest Burster. Considering they were in hell, where souls are tortured, it's likely the man was forced to swallow the key to create the need to retrieve it that way. | |

In the second case of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies, defendant Damien Tenma swallows the key to the Forbidden Chamber (a room in the crime scene that local folklore says contains a sealed youkai and which ACTUALLY contains an enormous hunk of gold that had previously motivated many deadly conflicts) immediately upon regaining consciousness at the crime scene. The fact that he does this rather than take any effort to escape suspicion shows just how seriously he takes his duty to keep the room sealed. | |

In one episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000, Pearl, Brain Guy, and Bobo are all trapped in a dungeon in ancient Rome. Bobo has the idea to regurgitate a key to undo their shackles, and Pearl compliments him for his ingenuity in lifting a key off a guard and swallowing it. Turns out Bobo didn't do that; he just thinks there's one in there because he swallows stuff all the time. It works, kind of — he found a hairpin after a while. | |

Bob's Burgers Subverted and lampshaded in the episode "The Wolf of Wharf Street", when Bob attempts to swallow the key after handcuffing Teddy to the table, because he's tripping on pain pills, and thinks Teddy's a werewolf. Tina has better luck with this trope in "Wharf Horse", when she locks herself to a carousel horse to keep it from being demolished. |

In Joey Pigza Swallowed The Key, this is done by the titular character entirely by accident: he suffers from ADHD and develops a habit of putting the key in his mouth and then using the string attached to it to pull it back out just before he swallows it. When his exasperated teacher removes the key from its string to discourage this, he still unthinkingly puts the key in his mouth and since there's no string to retrieve it this time. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: A character in the manga does this as part of his hereditary Human Vault job; he can retrieve it easily if he has to. It's one of the many Nightmare Fuel moments if you think about how he'd have been prepared for the role. Mokuba does this as well, hence his Duelist Kingdom kidnapping in the manga. He claims the Big Five watched him every time he went to the bathroom, hoping it would pass. Eventually, they use an X-ray to scan his stomach and make a copy but when Yugi defeats Pegasus, this becomes redundant. (In the anime, he hides the key in his locket instead). |
