Taiki summoned Bastemon, a cat-like Digimon, who then gained a Slasher Smile after seeing the mouse. This is a rare case where the one who devours is very, very small compared to the "dessert".
• In Fullmetal Alchemist (2003), Dante gets eaten by her minion Gluttony at the end of the series. For bonus points, she's the one who rendered him crazed and mindless in the first place, meaning that he was willing to eat her because he could no longer understand her commands, nor remember her.
• Mother Carmel from One Piece is heavily implied to have been eaten by Linlin, one of the orphans she was raising with the intent of selling them off as soldiers. This example wasn't intentional on Linlin's part: she was treated to a feast for her birthday and lost herself in her hunger, eventually regaining consciousness only to find everyone missing.
• Toriko has two notable examples: in the Ice Hell arc, near the end, Bishokukai members Barry Gammon and Bogey Woods try to run away from the final confrontation, leaving their superior Tommyrod alone against Toriko and are promptly devoured by the Hellbroth awakened by Teppei, though they're later saved by another member of the Bishokukai. Played straighter with Shigematsu, who's sent flying by Toriko's Infinite Spiked Punch and is ultimately torn apart and devoured alive by some monstrous flying birds, though his last thoughts are that he's actually grateful that at least his body could feed the Nature as a way to make amends.
• This happens to Aki's Evil Mentor Divine in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. His sadistic career comes to an end when Earthbound God Ccarayhua swallowed him. (Word of God says that he recovered along with the rest of the Earthbound Gods' victims later, but he was also arrested by Sector Security.)

• The Ultimates (2015): Rostdvow, a "thing" serving the Big Bad, is eaten by Galactus so the big guy can learn what it knows. Given Rostdvow had just played party to corrupting Galactus, driving his previous hunger to such levels Galactus was near mindless, it also counts as Laser-Guided Karma.
• Wonder Woman:

• X-Force (2008): The sadistic career of Reverend Craig, Wolfsbane's abusive bigot of a father, comes to an end when the brainwashing that he inflicted upon her kicks in, and she mistakes him for the Angel, whom he had ordered her to kill; she lunges at him in her wolf-form, in a bestial state, killing and devouring him. She doesn't remember a thing when she recovers, and her teammates wisely decide to keep it a secret.

• The main antagonist of Loved and Lost, Jewelius, is finished off this way by the Changelings he used and double-crossed to steal Equestria's throne. Normally the Changelings feed on love, but Queen Chrysalis decides that since the heart of Jewelius holds no love, everything else will have to do.
• Alexia's final fate in The Return (Sunshine Temple), devoured by Darkstar.
• In The Rise of Darth Vulcan, the protagonist defeats a dragon and feeds it to his new Red Shirt Army. Said dragon had been eating them as punishment for insubordination.

• In Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, Chester V gets gobbled up by a cheespider.
• A Day at the Zoo: A lion exhibit is repeatedly shown where we see Egghead poking the lion with a stick between the bars of its cage and The Narrator keeps shooing him away while warning him against it. At the very end of the cartoon, we see the lion alone with a content look; just as The Narrator thinks Egghead finally learned his lesson and went home, the lion shakes its head, opens its mouth and we see a pair of eyes in the darkness of down its throat.

• At the end of A Matter of Loaf and Death, Serial Killer Piella Bakewell tries to escape in a hot air balloon. However, since she's a Fat Bitch, her weight causes her to descend into the local zoo... and straight down into the crocodile exhibit. You can guess what happens next.
• Subverted in Peter Pan (1953): Captain Hook falls into the crocodile's mouth and gets swallowed, but (unlike in the original play) runs out relatively unharmed, and is last seen swimming away from the predator who's trying to eat him a second time. The sequel explicitly shows him alive.

He gets bitten by the paralyzing spider that he had previously used on somebody else and falls into the Anaconda mating ball, becoming snake chow.
• Beetlejuice:
  • Subverted in the original Beetlejuice (1988). The title character is swallowed by a Sand Worm near the end of the movie but turns up later in the afterlife office none the worse for wear.
  • Played straight in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. The Sandworm returns for this, only Betelgeuse directs it towards Rory and Delores, so they become its meal this time around.

All is silent until the croc seemingly belches.
• Indiana Jones:
  • Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom: Mola Ram and most of his Thuggee cult followers are eaten alive by crocodiles. Of course, it's possible that Mola Ram died long before he hit the water, but either way it counts.

• In I Was A Teenage Frankenstein, Professor Frankenstein tries to put his creation back into pieces for some easy overseas smuggling, but the teenage monster fights back and drops him into the alligator pit that Professor had previously used to get rid of excessive body parts and a witness.
• Jurassic Park is a film series about dinosaurs, so it’s no surprise that this is how they deal with evil characters:
  • Jurassic Park (1993):
    • Sysadmin Dennis Nedry sets off the chain of events that releases the animals, and then is eaten by one. This is actually a bad thing for the protagonists because he was supposed to return after smuggling the embryos and turn the security system back on, but you can't return from death...
    • They're not truly villains, but the raptors themselves become prey for the T. rex at the climax.
  • In The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Dieter Stark is devoured by a group of Compsognathus (a case of Laser-Guided Karma, as he had earlier zapped one with a cattle prod for fun), and Ludlow gets eaten by a T. rex baby in a satisfying death.

  • In Jurassic World Dominion, Dodgson is killed by a pack of Dilophosaurus after being cornered in the train tunnel- extra karma points come from this being the exact same species that killed Nedry. The lead dinosaur trafficker Delacourt also has his face ripped off by a juvenile Baryonyx.
  • In Jurassic World Rebirth, Krebs meets his end when he's ripped in half and devoured by the Distortus rex, after showing how callous he is towards both the humans and animals alike when they stand in the way of greed, and was intending to leave everyone else to die.
• In Kick-Ass 2, the main villain has a shark tank as part of his personal supervillain lair. However, the shark does nothing but lie at the bottom of the pool, causing people to think it's dead... until he falls into it at the end of the climactic battle.
• The Big Bad of The Legend of Tarzan gets eaten by crocodiles.
• The Big Bad and his Mooks in Love and Monsters are eaten by the very same Giant Enemy Crab they'd enslaved once Joel frees it.
• In Meg 2: The Trench, Jess and Monte both turn out to be villains and both meet their respective demise in the jaws of a Meg. Jess betrayed her team and displayed no remorse over the ensuing deaths, and in a smug display of Tempting Fate, she declares the underwater rig chamber she's in to be completely Meg-Proof. One breaks through behind her and she is Swallowed Whole. Monte winds up punched into the mouth of the Meg by Jonas during their fight and gets crunched up instead. It's hard to say who got it worse, but both deaths were very well-deserved.
• Men In Black: Spousal abuser Edgar is skinned and eaten by the Bug.
• Men in Black II:
  • Serleena eats a mugger.
  • This appears to be the case at the end, when Serleena is eaten by Jeff, only for her to kill him from inside and morph his body.

  • In Resident Evil (2002), the male security operative who released the T-virus inside the facility is killed and partially eaten by the Licker monster.
  • The Big Bad of Resident Evil: Apocalypse gets devoured alive by a bunch of zombies.

• In Romancing the Stone, Zolo's hand is bitten off by a crocodile, and then he drops into a pit of them.
• Madam Yiu, the Dragon Lady villainess of Shanghai Grand, starves her pet boa into making it savage and releases it to devour her captors. When she tries to feed Ding-Lik to the boa, Ding-Lik shoves an exposed bulb down the boa's throat, causing it to twitch violently and break free from the chains Yiu is using to control the animal. The boa then lunges at Madam Yiu, to her horror, before swallowing her face.
• The bad guy in Shark Attack ends up getting eaten alive by the same sharks that he had sicced on the town to drive down real estate prices.
• The human villain of Shark Attack 3: Megalodon leaves the passengers on a boat behind to die when the Megalodon shows up, but he crashes his jetski into the shark's open mouth.
• The villains of Shark Night feed people to sharks to make internet videos of them to make money, that and they're Ax-Crazy. So it's pretty karmic when one of the Co-Dragons falls into the Shark Pool he was attempting to lower the main character into, and later when the Big Bad himself gets eaten by a Great White.
• In The Silence of the Lambs, this is implied to be the fate of Chilton, who had just been spotted as Lecter says "I'm having an old friend for dinner."

• Tremors 5: Bloodlines: The villain is eaten alive by an African Graboid after he tried to capture one to sell it on the black market.

Examples by author:

• Three of Arthur Conan Doyle's stories — the Sherlock Holmes stories The Hound of the Baskervilles and "The Adventure of the Speckled Band", and the non-Holmes story "The Brazilian Cat" — involve an Inheritance Murder by way of an Animal Assassin which ends up killing the would-be murderer instead.

Examples by title:

• The Immortals of Baccano! can consume each other and gain each other's experience by laying their hand on the other immortal's forehead. This is how Firo defeats Szilard.
• In The Case of the Six Watsons by Robert Ryan, after the supposed death of Sherlock Holmes, a member of Moriarty's criminal organization tries to dispose of Dr. Watson as well, by locking him in a cage with a 'Brazilian cat' (presumably a black panther) that he's raised as a pet. Watson is able to survive—albeit at the cost of a nasty leg wound—by ducking into the panther's holding cage. The owner sees this and goes to open the cage. However the panther had never tasted human blood before until it injured Watson; having taken a liking to it, the panther goes straight for its owner instead.
• The old couple who kill cats for fun in "The Cats of Ulthar" end up, fittingly, eaten by all the town's cats.
• In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Oompa-Loompas claim that this will be the gluttonous Augustus Gloop's fate, as the pipe he's stuck in leads to a room where fudge is prepared. In a subversion, he's rescued before that can happen... in most versions. It's strongly implied that he will become a tasty treat in the 2013 stage musical!
• In Crocodile Tears (2009), The Dragon falls into, fittingly enough, a pit of crocodiles, which proceed to pull her apart in several different directions and eat her, leaving only a foot with a severed shoe.
• Malice X from Andrew Fox's Fat White Vampire Blues meets his end when he falls in bat-form into a pack of angry vampire wolf-dogs.
• In The Garden of Sinners, Cornelius Alba gets eaten alive by one of Touko's creations.

• I Do Not Eat Children: After spending most of the book eating children, the monster ends up getting eaten by the book-reading child.
• InCryptid: Francesco Russo and his gang, the villains of the short story "Sweet Poison Wine", end up getting eaten by the river hags they tried to feed their enemies to, when Frances, Jonathan, and the gorgons leave them tied to chairs surrounded by raw liver, right next to the waterfront.
• James Bond:
  • Live and Let Die has the Big Bad get eaten by sharks and barracudas.

• Kitty Norville: Carl, the abusive leader of the Denver werewolves in Kitty and the Silver Bullet, is torn apart by his own pack.
• In The Last Battle, Shift gets thrown in a stable by King Tiriam and gets eaten by the demonic entity Tash.
• In The Lost World (1995), Big Bad Lewis Dodgson gets devoured by a bunch of baby T. rexes after an adult drops him into the nest and breaks his leg so that he can't escape. It's especially karmic, since not only did he antagonize the group in this book, but he also helped cause the events of Jurassic Park (1990).
• Max and Moritz ends with the titular bad boys getting ground up in a mill and eaten by geese.
• Peter Pan: Captain Hook's hand had been lost in a duel with Pan and eaten by a giant crocodile which becomes his Animal Nemesis as a result. At the climax, the croc returns to finish the meal.
• In The Spiderwick Chronicles, this is the fate of Mulgurath. After he’s defeated, he turns into a sparrow and tries to fly away, only for Hogsqueal to catch him and eat him alive.
• Star Wars Legends:
  • Subverted — seeing as he survives — with Zorba the Hutt, Jabba's father. In The Glove of Darth Vader, he seeks revenge on Han and Leia for his son's death, but his plan to deal Leia a Karmic Death by throwing her to the sarlacc ends with him humiliated, not only because he is thrown into it by Trioculus (a would-be successor to Palpatine with a weird crush on Leia — long story), but the beast vomits him out, clearly getting sick trying to eat him. (This is the first of many embarrassments for Zorba, who is clearly a sorry excuse for a Hutt.)
  • Played straight with Feltipern Trevagg, who is introduced cheating a widow with children out of her home, and proceeds to seduce a space bimbo, not realizing that among her people, the bride traditionally eats the groom's insides on the wedding night.
• In Joseph Jacobs' version of "The Three Little Pigs", the third pig does not stop at boiling the wolf to death, but also eats him ("for supper"). As the wolf wanted to eat the pigs, this is also a Karmic Death.
• In the short story "Thus I Refute Beelzy" by John Collier, a mentally abusive father is eaten by the title character, his son's Not-So-Imaginary Friend.
• Wayside School:
  • In Sideways Stories from Wayside School, Mrs. Gorf is tricked into turning herself into an apple. Louis finds the apple and eats it.
  • This happens to Mrs. Gorf again in a later book. She materializes in a plate of potato salad, and John and Joe quickly eat her before she can turn them into apples.

• Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
  • In "The Pack", Xander and four gang members are taken over by a hyena spirit. As part of their rampage they kill and eat the school mascot pig, and then — when called into the principal's office for questioning — Principal Flutie. At the end of the episode, the zoo warden who caused the whole thing (he wanted the hyena spirit for himself) gets tossed into a hyena holding pit where he gets eaten.
  • "Go Fish" has the evil coach who was turning his team into Fish People fall into a pit of them at the conclusion. "Those boys sure love their coach."
  • In "Graduation Day, Part 2", Principal Snyder gets eaten by Mayor Wilkins, who has just transformed himself into a giant demonic snake.
• Game of Thrones: In the sixth season, Ramsay Bolton is eaten alive by his own hounds after spending many seasons engaging in torture, warfare, and rape. This is especially karmic because he had trained his hounds to eat various people he hunted down or otherwise wanted to dispose of, and even more so due to him starving the hounds in preparation for eating Jon Snow and the others on the Stark side following the Battle of the Bastards, meaning that they're too hungry to recognize their master when Sansa Stark, his final victim, has him thrown into the kennels with them.
• In the second season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Waldreg enjoys his status as Adar's second in command... until Sauron feeds him to an angry warg.
• The tennis-playing giant alien blancmange in Monty Python's Flying Circus gets eaten by Mr. and Mrs. Brainsample. On the planet they're from, they're used to blancmanges being that size.
• Primeval, being a show about dinosaurs and other creatures that come through time portals, has this quite often. A prime example is the second season's Big Bad Oliver Leek, who gets ripped apart, shredded, and eaten by a bunch of Future Predators after Nick Cutter cuts the power to the devices he was using to control them.
• V (1983): In The Final Battle, Daniel Bernstein is framed for the kidnapping of the Visitor Brian. Daniel is then captured, tortured, and taken away to be served to the aliens
• Walking with Dinosaurs:
  • The Liopleurodon gets eaten by a group of Eustreptospondylus at the end of "Cruel Sea". It wasn't evil, just a predator, but it was nevertheless the episode's "villain".
  • The Postosuchus is similarly eaten alive by a pack of Coelophysis at the end of "New Blood".
• When Dinosaurs Roamed America: A Ceratosaurus spends most of the second episode chasing a family of Dryosauruses. In the end, however, an Allosaurus lunges from offscreen to take it down.

• Book of Daniel: After having to consign Daniel to a lion's den because of a law that some princes had tricked him into passing because they were jealous of him, King Darius, overjoyed that (as he himself had predicted) the Lord protected Daniel for the night by sending one of His angels to shut the lions' mouths so they could not hurt him, has Daniel taken out of the lions' den. The princes responsible for the law are thrown in instead, where they promptly get eaten by the lions.
• Christianity: Medieval religious art, especially in illustrations of the Last Judgement, often depicts the entrance to Hell as the open mouth of a large monster which swallows the damned. Pictures of Hell from the same era also frequently show the damned being swallowed, eaten or gnawed on by devils or demons◊.
• Classical Mythology: Inverted towards the end of the Trojan war — the priest Laocoon warned his fellow Trojans about bringing the Greek's wooden horse into the city. A bunch of snakes sprang out of the sea to devour him and his sons. He was right, of course, but because onlookers interpreted it as this trope, they hurried to bring the horse into the city.
• In Egyptian Mythology, to enter the afterlife, you had to be weighed against the Feather of Truth after denying you'd done a long list of sins (the "Negative Confession"). If you were lying and therefore committed too many of the sins, you would be fed to Ammut the Devourer, a hippo with a crocodile's head.

• Hansel and Gretel (1893) adds a new element to the familiar tale: The witch owns a magical oven that bakes children into gingerbread. Of course, the witch ends up getting pushed into it, and not only does this restore all the gingerbread children to life, an impressive piece of witch-shaped gingerbread is brought out at the finale.
• The fate of Captain Hook in the original Peter Pan (1904). Adaptations often spare him, though.
• In Titus Andronicus, Chiron and Demetrius get butchered and baked into a pie for raping and mutilating Lavinia.

• In Crash Twinsanity, Victor and Moritz manage to escape their Final Boss fight unscathed and attempt to hide away in a hut. They quickly discover that it's Evil Crash's hut and the monstrous bandicoot's hungry.
• In Drakensang 2: The River of Time, the corrupted commander Stitus Bloomfold (who often fed his prisoners to wild animals of sorts) tries to feed the party to his pet Newt Kraken, but when the monster is defeated and starts waving his tentacles in pain, he loses balance and fall in the kraken's open maws.
• In Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse, Big Bad Betram gets swallowed by his own Tyrannosaurus rex.
• At the end of Delphi's campaign in the single-player mode of Giants: Citizen Kabuto, the evil witch-queen of the Sea Reapers, Sappho, is eaten by the kaiju Kabuto after Delphi destroys the magical Kabuto Stone that Delphi was using to control Kabuto.
• A possible way to kill targets in a few Hitman games:
  • Blood Money has two. The "Till Death Do Us Part" level allows any bodies (alive or dead) that are pushed into the swamp to be eaten by alligators. One of the targets in that level is even a Fat Bastard who likes to feed chum to the reptiles... The other level is "A Dance With the Devil", set in a Las Vegas nightclub with a massive shark tank in the Hell-themed basement area. People can be pushed into the water from the feeding area, but rigging the pyrotechnics show will fry one of your targets and cause her to jump into the water, where the sharks eat her.
  • In Absolution, this can be done in the "Death Factory" level where a pig-hating scientist can be dropped into a pit full of them. However, unlike Blood Money, where the bodies are actually eaten (and can make the sharks quite fat), looking down into said pit will reveal the body lying above where the pigs are milling about as crunching and eating noises are heard, so it's best to just listen and leave it to your imagination.
  • Hitman 2: In Colombia, one of your targets is a drug lord with a pet hippopotamus. This hippo has Ascended to Carnivorism after being used by the cartel leader to dispose of his enemies, and he's tried hiring a "Hippo Whisperer" to try making the beast return to a herbivorous diet. One way of eliminating this target is by disguising yourself as the Hippo Whisperer, then leading him to the hippo's enclosure and throwing him into the water, where he gets devoured after a few seconds of helpless flailing. You can also push your targets into the river surrounding the map, which causes them to promptly be eaten by piranhas.
• In Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb, the Big Bad gets eaten by a dragon that was summoned from the underworld.
• In Jurassic Park: The Game, Dr. Sorkin gets eaten by the Mosasaurus she freed after turning on the group and becoming essentially an Eco-Terrorist. Later, Yoder does a Face–Heel Turn and ascends to Big Bad status by betraying the group and leaving them to die. When they later catch up to him and fight him, the Tyrannosaurus rex appears and he gets devoured by it while trying to get the Barbasol container back. If Nima chooses to get the canister back instead of helping Jess, she too will take a trip to the T. rex's stomach.
• In the Prehistory chapter of Live A Live, the Kuu tribe has repeatedly kidnapped people and offered them as human sacrifices to Odo, the last living dinosaur and an incarnation of Odio. At the climax of the chapter, the Kuu tribe's chieftain falls into Odo's pen alongside the heroes, where he is promptly devoured alive.
• In the first DLC for Muramasa: The Demon Blade's Updated Re-release Muramasa Rebirth, "Genroku Legends: The Fishy Tales of the Nekomata", Netsuzo Wakamiya — an ambitious and unscrupulous nobleman — arranges the downfall of the Inukai clan, who he is the chamberlain of. When the family's only daughter, Okoi, shows up seeking advice and shelter, Wakamiya decides to make her his concubine. Unfortunately for him, "Okoi" is actually Miike, the now-deceased real Okoi's pet cat who became a nekomata to avenge her, and just as Wakamiya is undressing her, "Okoi" transforms into a monstrous two-tailed cat monster and eats him.
• In Overlord II, the villain's dragon, Marius, is praising his boss after a One-Winged Angel turns him into an all-devouring Eldritch Abomination, his praise is interrupted by the devourer eating him.
• Peter Pan: The Motion Picture Event is another one of the Peter Pan adaptations that don't spare Captain Hook; in the final boss fight against him, you knock him off the plank he left open and he gets swallowed whole by the crocodile.
• Poke ALL Toads: If the blue fairy fails to find a way to stop it, they will be Swallowed Whole by green toads as revenge for their antics.
• This happens a lot in both [PROTOTYPE] and [PROTOTYPE 2], most notably to Alex Mercer in the sequel. Suffice to say, in both games, only six bad guys escape this fate: Dr. McMullen by suicide, Supreme Hunter by decapitation, three scientists by helicopter crash and Col. Rooks by being more pragmatical than evil and thus surviving.
• A commercial in StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty shows that terrans turn some zerg (specifically Mutalisks, but there may be others), into truckstop food.
• The final stage of Strange Brigade sees the Big Bad, Seteki, attempting to unleash her Pet Monstrosity Ammit (yes, the same Ammit from Egyptian myths, reimagined as a crocodilian kaiju-sized monstrosity) into destroying the world. You spend the whole Final Boss battle trying to destroy the Soul Jar that grants Seteki control over Ammit while battling both Ammit and Seteki in multiple consecutive boss battles; if you win, the last cutscene sees Ammit being freed and immediately snatching Seteki before chomping her down.
• In Super Mario RPG, after the Bundt cake is beaten down to its last Raspberry layer, it gets swallowed by Booster in one mighty gulp, though it takes two flunkies just to lift it and throw it into his mouth. Of course, this cake was supposed to be just a dessert in the first place, but instead it came alive and started attacking.
• Many villains in World of Warcraft:
  • One Alliance quest you can take involves using a disguise to infiltrate the Blacktooth Hovel and, among other things, eliminate three of their leaders. One of them is Worgmistress Othana, a cruel woman who beats and tortures the worgs she is in charge of. After you strike her with the weapon provided by the quest giver, she's paralyzed, and the abused worgs waste no time closing in to finish her off. (It's rather enjoyable to watch.)
  • In Isle of the Giants, Dohaman the Beast Lord is a troll "dinomancer" who has altered a giant devilsaur named Oondasta into a gigantic living siege engine. Before the Raid actually starts, he orders Oondasta to crush the Raid members, but Oondasta decides to devour him before doing so.
  • In the Suramar storyline, one quest requires you to free menagerie animals held with Slave Collars, including another devilsaur named Su'esh. Again, her trainer orders her to attack you, but she does not and devours him. But that's only the start. You then have to ride Su'esh and go all kaiju on Suramar, crushing and devouring the Legion soldiers.

• In The Order of the Stick, this is the ultimate fate of Tsukiko — by her own wights, no less.
• In User Friendly, the Crud Puppy gets knocked into the coffee grinder and is drunk by Pitr. Unfortunately, its hands survive inside his chest, and the surgeons who operate on him aren't too careful.

• In Dragon Ball Z Abridged, Guru is Eaten Alive by the Namekians after he reveals he was the cause of the Great Drought (how else would someone who lives solely on water become morbidly obese?), which he then blamed on the Albino Namekians, all of whom he sentenced to death.

• Animaniacs: In "Moby or Not Moby", Captain Ahab spends the short being a Jerkass and sadistically trying to kill Moby-Dick. When his attempts to harpoon Moby fail, the enraged whale chases after Ahab and swallows him whole.
• Captain Planet and the Planeteers: Defied in "The Predator". The team spends the episode trying to keep Argos Bleak from killing every shark off a small town's coast. After things get out of his control, Bleak ends up in the water with the shark he was planning to use to dispose of Gi and Ma-Ti. He yells for help, and the Captain comes to the rescue, quipping that he thinks letting the shark eat Bleak would be cruel to the shark.
• Happens in the finale movie of CatDog when the three Greaser Dogs who enjoy picking on the titular duo any chance they get are swallowed by a sea monster.
• Danger Mouse: At the end of "Statues", Baron Greenback comes to what sounds like his demise as the statue of chef Monsieur Smaquing Lipps has designs on making frog's legs out of him (the Baron would obviously return in ensuing episodes thanks to Joker Immunity).

  • In "Treasure of the Temple", the archeological thief Perkins and his men are eaten by crocodiles.
• In the second season of Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, two trophy hunters posing as Eco-tourists named Mitch and Tiffany end up meeting their ends at the jaws of dinosaurs.

• In an episode of The New Adventures of Lucky Luke, the main character’s Inuit companion sics his pet polar bear on the bad guys. It is seen to smack its lips and belch later.
  "Where did they go?"
  "Someplace nice and warm."
• Smiling Friends: At the end of "Mr. Frog", Rex, the producer of the eponymous show and a truly disgusting individual, interrupts a heartfelt apology from Mr. Frog proclaiming that no one cares about him anymore, stupidly not realizing how violent Mr. Frog has been recently. Mr. Frog naturally wastes no time in gobbling him up live on air, which actually causes his career to get back on track.
• In the Teen Titans (2003) episode "Transformation", an alien predator called a Cironeilian Chrysalis Eater lures Starfire to a secluded grove so it can devour her once her cocoon (part of the Transformation process she is undergoing) is complete, cruelly mocking her as it happens. When the other Titans intervene, Starfire completes the process and emerges, then blasts the creature outside the grove, where it becomes prey to a Man-Eating Plant she encountered earlier.
