* One of the worst ways to die in a video game, ''period'' happens in the OlderThanTheNES text adventure ''VideoGame/TheOregonTrail''. One bad end you can come to is to die of dysentery. For those who missed that day in biology class, dysentery is an inflammatory condition of the intestines caused by bacteria, viruses, parasitic worms, or protozoa. Symptoms include diarrhea with blood, include fever, abdominal pain, and rectal tenesmus.[[note]]That's when you think you have to poop, but you can't.[[/note]] Suffice to say, it's a ''very'' unpleasant and ''disgusting'' way to die.

** The protagonists of the first game and [[Videogame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2 its sequel]] get one in the Game Over: the animatronics take them and stuff them inside a suit. This wouldn't be a problem if the suits were fitted for humans, but as it stands they have a bunch of crossbeams in the torso and sharp mechanical parts in the head, essentially grinding the protagonist's face into paste and leaving only their eyes and teeth intact.

* In ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar 2'', rookie [[SacrificialLion Benjamin Carmine]] (along with the rest of his squad) are swallowed, helicopter and all, by a gigantic riftworm. The rest of the squad survives. Carmine falls victim to what can only be described as "digestion parasites" and is half-melted/eaten alive.
** Most of the multiplayer executions count as well: Being chainsawed into pieces (sometimes by more than one person at at time), being curb-stomped, and being roasted with a flamethrower are just some of the ways to take out a downed enemy.

* The fate of those taken by the Collectors in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'': being rendered down into goo by nanites while conscious and screaming and leaving bloody smears as you scrabble at the glass of your {{p|eopleJars}}od. Lovely.
** Some of the abilities at Shepard and crew's disposal are surprisingly brutal, particularly the biotic ones. Warp is implied to rip the target apart on a ''molecular'' level.
** The process by which people are turned into Husks is a nasty way to go. [[BodyHorror This process involves laying people onto spikes, draining them of fluids and turning the organic parts of their bodies into synthetic components]]. And then there's...[[AndIMustScream Reaper indoctrination]]. What the [[EldritchAbomination Rea]][[SapientShip pers]] do is slowly destroy your free will and when they are done with you they leave you to rot as a mindless shell.
* ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'' allows you to [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu inflict this on the Greek Gods themselves.]]
** Special note goes to how Kratos deals with Helios in ''III'', viscerally [[OffWithHisHead tearing off his head with his bare hands]] right square in front of the camera as an interactive QTE. Not even ''Mortal Kombat'' goes to such detail of showing how brutal it is to remove someone's head with one's hands.
* In one of ''Madou Souhei Kleinhasa'''s bad endings, Roze ends up being raped to death. OrSoIHeard.
* ''VideoGame/BloodRayne'' allows the player to do a variety of these frequently -- Carnage kills begin with a chained harpoon catch and end in a fling into one or more impaling objects (or electrocution, fire, or industrial meat grinders.) In one kick move, Rayne jumps onto an opponent's shoulders, catching the neck between her feet, then flips forward to stomp the head into the ground. But the most splatteriffic is when she lifts an enemy by one impaling blade, spins them in the air with a flick of the other then lets the edge of it hack off all limbs and head before throwing the pruned torso away.
* ''VideoGame/NaughtyBear'' has this as part of the gameplay, being the SpiritualSuccessor to ''VideoGame/{{Manhunt}}''. One example is slamming a teddy's face into a spinning turntable.
** The sequel, Panic in Paradise, really turns up the violence. A lot of the mission targets require a KarmicDeath.
*** Shove your victim [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice onto a saguaro]], or maybe you'd prefer tossing them onto a bamboo fountain?
*** Throw them to the [[FedToTheBeast fluff-eating plants]] or to the [[ThreateningShark 'sand dolphins']], which also come in ''aquatic'' versions.
*** Shove them into a cookie-cutting machine and watch the slicers go crazy with your victim's body...
* The old vector graphics game, ''VideoGame/AnotherWorld'', is practically made out of this trope. Not only does everything on the planet want to kill him, it wants to kill him in the most gruesome way possible. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fdq7sDvIuLo&feature=related Roll the clip!]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' series, especially the first two games. The "Bloody Mess" trait makes every death cruel and unusual. Besides, there are [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aj1oGQxn3P0#t=1m16s the Lieutenant]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmeNBaLpQ88#t=35s the Master]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNC_YiOftCA&feature=PlayList&p=F7E08A2C4FF1C5D3=1&index=13#t=2m19s Frank Horrigan]] and (sweet zombie Bird Jesus!!!) [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ne-aB9Z4cCw the Overseer from the first game.]]
* An early level in ''VideoGame/RiseOfTheTriad'' starts with a glass wall and a group of enemy soldiers in a wide hallway on the other side of it. The game kindly warns you of the danger of this hallway (posts lined with rapidly spinning blades, moving along interlaced tracks in the floor) by pureeing the hapless guards between the two converging rows of spinblades while you watch from your safe position on the other side of the (now-bloodied) window. See it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5M7jfjgVI0E here]]. Yes, that is a flying eyeball.
* ''VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn'' has Volecheck planning to execute two prisoners by boiling them alive... as a public execution at the full moon festival. One of the condemned is ''[[WouldHurtAChild a little girl]]''. Even some of the city folk ''actually look forward to this event.'' Luckily, your party manages to prevent this from happening.
* ''VideoGame/DeadSpace''. The death scenes are certainly enough to qualify, in ''VideoGame/DeadSpace2'' they just get ''worse.'' Poor Isaac...
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIdkR85kpKs Enjoy sleeping]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ6noeD8qKU tonight.]]
* ''Videogame/ResidentEvil4''. Not as bad as its younger spiritual cousin Dead Space right above, but still horrifying. Deaths include getting eaten alive by a giant lake monster, torn in half, crushed by a boulder, stabbed in the throat by your own knife, having your head get cut off by a rusty chainsaw, or even insects vomitting acid over you, melting your face off.
* In ''VideoGame/SyphonFilter'', if you hold the taser on someone for too long, they burn to death, often screaming.
* ''VideoGame/AoOni'': Most versions have some variation of this, including head-chomp, being used as an exercise mat and being swallowed whole implied, via Version 6.23's ending). Also, ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''-mode has particularly brutal death scenes.
* In ''VideoGame/ClockTower 3'', a 12 year old girl has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_Pe4no4Pbo her face smashed with a sledgehammer]], a man and his old mother are pushed into a vat of acid and another man falls off a balcony where his head hits an ax and splits in half.
** The first game in the series is quite mundane with its death scenes, but one that stands out is what happens if you fail to pick up the ham before getting locked in the shed; Simon Barrows will ''eat Jennifer instead''. Also, some people theorize that the reason no blood is seen on Laura (as well as her face being hidden) in her shower death scene is because she was scalded to death with hot water (the 10-page manga changes this to her being stabbed while hung in the shower).
* Let us count the ways the player characters in ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'' can die shall we? [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhwc0ouTl4o Take a power drill up a very sensitive place]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrnkIz3GzF4 fall into a trash compacter while handcuffed to your own car]], have half of your body run over by a crane, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV2nweDPkS8 being stabbed in the crotch with a katana]] or [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-bUcGmAH9o getting hit on the head with a plasma TV or sledgehammer]].
* [[LargeHam Inspector Cabanela]] can die this way in ''VideoGame/GhostTrick'' if the player Ghost Swaps the bullet that was supposed to hit him with a nearby helmet mid-flight. The Pidgeon Man says it best: "[[{{Understatement}} That didn't go well.]]"
* Some of the deaths in ''VideoGame/BrainDead13'' may vary, from being torn apart vertically at the eyes by Fritz, to getting your own skull knocked off of your head.
* In ''VideoGame/MuvLuvAlternative'', there's the infamous [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin CHOMP scene]] where Marimo has [[EatenAlive her head bitten in half by a Soldier-class BETA]]. It's notable for being extremely disturbing to the player. But that's not all for that particular death... Takeru proceeds to run away to the world of "Extra", where Marimo is still alive... until she's promptly killed by having her head shoved into a meat grinder.
** Of course, considering KillEmAll, Marimo's death is far from the only case of this trope showing up, it's just the most well known.
* ''VideoGame/MaxPayne 3'': The Cracha Preto horribly murder Marcelo by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necklacing necklacing]] for no real reason, when a gun or knife would have sufficed. Victims of necklacing executions can live for over fifteen minutes after ignition.
* ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'' has several of these, but notable in the sequel is the Tendril power. The primary attack attaches tendrils to the victim's legs and arms, which attach to the nearest wall or ceiling. They then ''pull,'' tearing the victim into two or three. The tendrils and the body stays where they are, meaning that you can have a room full of grisly limbs and black tentacles hanging around everywhere. No puppet jokes, please.
* Any of the death cutscenes in ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs''. The runners, stalkers and clickers tear out Joel/Ellie's jugular with their teeth, and the bloaters grab Joel by the head and pull his jaw apart with their hands.
* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'', a hapless monkey is accused of kidnapping the Deku Princess. Her father tortures him for a confession by repeatedly dipping him into a pot of boiling water. Each time Link visits him the monkey gets dipped again. Do this too many times and the monkey is ''boiled to death''.
* Appears frequently in ''VideoGame/{{BioShock|1}}''; for example, a Big Daddy can kill you by running you through with a giant drill. The plasmids that the player character uses can do this as well, such as sending killer bees at your enemies with the Insect Swarm plasmid, burning them alive with the Incinerate! plasmid, or shooting electricity at them when they are standing in water with the Electro Bolt plasmid.
** One of the most disturbing deaths is that of Andrew Ryan. After just finding out you've been mind-controlled the entire game and the guy who has been trying to kill you this whole time is your father, he asks you oh so kindly if you would assist in Ryan's suicide. You could technically have just whipped out your revolver and put a bullet in his brain to make it more humane, but nope, he decides to have you ''beat his face in with a golfclub'', and doesn't even go down until three more brutal whacks to the cranium, while his face becomes more horrifyingly mangled and distorted, as he lets out a few more disturbingly garbled screams for you to obey. Top it off with part of the golfclub breaking off and lodging into his cranium with a final spurt of blood.
* In ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' gives you Blade Mode will allows you to slice your opponents to ribbons. The main purpose of this is to slice them open so you can rip out their spine.''
* ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'' has Regime!Shazam's death. To clarify: Regime!Superman starts off by choking him. When Regime!Shazam attempts to counter by summoning his magic lightning with "Shazam!", Regime!Superman cuts him off by freezing his mouth and throat shut. Then Regime!Superman uses his heat vision to roast through Regime!Shazam's skull to the other side.
* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' has an off-screen example from the Great War between the Empire and the Aldmeri Dominion. When the Empire crushed the Dominion at the Battle of the Red Ring, Emperor Titus Mede II captured the Aldmeri general, hung him from the top of the White-Gold Tower, and kept him alive for thirty-three days. On the thirty-fourth day, he finally expired and was carried away by a winged daedra. Given that this general was responsible for the sack of the Imperial City and related atrocities... He kind of deserved it.
* Subverted in ''VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonVsAceAttorney'': Any young girl accused of witchcraft is sealed in a steel cage that looks disturbingly similar to an Iron Maiden, then the cage is lowered into a pit of flames. Just to drive the cruelty of it home, all three times this happens on-screen are [=FMVs=], which means you see and hear their terrified begging for help until the cage closing in cuts them off. Luckily for the victims, [[spoiler:the fire is an illusion, and the accused can leave the cage through a trap door and are carted off to a forest outside of town.]]
----
** The protagonists of the first game and [[Videogame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2 its sequel]] get one in the Game Over: the animatronics take them and stuff them inside a suit. This wouldn't be a problem if the suits were fitted for humans, but as it stands they have a bunch of crossbeams in the torso and sharp mechanical parts in the head, essentially grinding the protagonist's face into paste and leaving only their eyes and teeth intact.
** ''Videogame/FiveNightsAtFreddys3'' reveal the existence of spring-loaded animatronics that can allow humans to wear them as costumes without harm. (Or rather, a FlawedPrototype of such.)

[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=os78TihE1Ws But Keiji Inafune makes up for all of this by several orders of magnitude]].
-->'''Sullivan''': (Deploys [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulton_surface-to-air_recovery_system skyhook]]) ''We're the good guys, Chuck. Not you.''
-->'''Chuck''': ([[LandMineGoesClick Handcuffs Go Click]])
-->'''Sullivan''': ('''OhCrap! I'm handcuffed to the damn building!''')

-->'''Sullivan''': (Is '''[[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe torn in half]]'''.)

* The fate of those taken by the Collectors in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'': being rendered down into goo by nanites while conscious and screaming and leaving bloody smears as you scrabble at the glass of your {{p|eopleJars}}od. Lovely.
** Some of the abilities at Shepard and crew's disposal are surprisingly brutal, particularly the biotic ones. Warp is implied to rip the target apart on a ''molecular'' level.
** The process by which people are turned into Husks is a nasty way to go. [[BodyHorror This process involves laying people onto spikes, draining them of fluids and turning the organic parts of their bodies into synthetic components]]. And then there's...[[AndIMustScream Reaper indoctrination]]. What the [[EldritchAbomination Rea]][[SapientShip pers]] do is slowly destroy your free will and when they are done with you they leave you to rot as a mindless shell.
* ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'' allows you to [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu inflict this on the Greek Gods themselves.]]
** Special note goes to how Kratos deals with Helios in ''III'', viscerally [[OffWithHisHead tearing off his head with his bare hands]] right square in front of the camera as an interactive QTE. Not even ''Mortal Kombat'' goes to such detail of showing how brutal it is to remove someone's head with one's hands.
* In one of ''Madou Souhei Kleinhasa'''s bad endings, Roze ends up being raped to death. OrSoIHeard.
* ''VideoGame/BloodRayne'' allows the player to do a variety of these frequently -- Carnage kills begin with a chained harpoon catch and end in a fling into one or more impaling objects (or electrocution, fire, or industrial meat grinders.) In one kick move, Rayne jumps onto an opponent's shoulders, catching the neck between her feet, then flips forward to stomp the head into the ground. But the most splatteriffic is when she lifts an enemy by one impaling blade, spins them in the air with a flick of the other then lets the edge of it hack off all limbs and head before throwing the pruned torso away.
* ''VideoGame/NaughtyBear'' has this as part of the gameplay, being the SpiritualSuccessor to ''VideoGame/{{Manhunt}}''. One example is slamming a teddy's face into a spinning turntable.
** The sequel, Panic in Paradise, really turns up the violence. A lot of the mission targets require a KarmicDeath.
*** Shove your victim [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice onto a saguaro]], or maybe you'd prefer tossing them onto a bamboo fountain?
*** Throw them to the [[FedToTheBeast fluff-eating plants]] or to the [[ThreateningShark 'sand dolphins']], which also come in ''aquatic'' versions.
*** Shove them into a cookie-cutting machine and watch the slicers go crazy with your victim's body...
* The old vector graphics game, ''VideoGame/AnotherWorld'', is practically made out of this trope. Not only does everything on the planet want to kill him, it wants to kill him in the most gruesome way possible. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fdq7sDvIuLo&feature=related Roll the clip!]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' series, especially the first two games. The "Bloody Mess" trait makes every death cruel and unusual. Besides, there are [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aj1oGQxn3P0#t=1m16s the Lieutenant]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmeNBaLpQ88#t=35s the Master]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNC_YiOftCA&feature=PlayList&p=F7E08A2C4FF1C5D3=1&index=13#t=2m19s Frank Horrigan]] and (sweet zombie Bird Jesus!!!) [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ne-aB9Z4cCw the Overseer from the first game.]]
* An early level in ''VideoGame/RiseOfTheTriad'' starts with a glass wall and a group of enemy soldiers in a wide hallway on the other side of it. The game kindly warns you of the danger of this hallway (posts lined with rapidly spinning blades, moving along interlaced tracks in the floor) by pureeing the hapless guards between the two converging rows of spinblades while you watch from your safe position on the other side of the (now-bloodied) window. See it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5M7jfjgVI0E here]]. Yes, that is a flying eyeball.
* ''VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn'' has Volecheck planning to execute two prisoners by boiling them alive... as a public execution at the full moon festival. One of the condemned is ''[[WouldHurtAChild a little girl]]''. Even some of the city folk ''actually look forward to this event.'' Luckily, your party manages to prevent this from happening.
* ''VideoGame/DeadSpace''. The death scenes are certainly enough to qualify, in ''VideoGame/DeadSpace2'' they just get ''worse.'' Poor Isaac...
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIdkR85kpKs Enjoy sleeping]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ6noeD8qKU tonight.]]
* ''Videogame/ResidentEvil4''. Not as bad as its younger spiritual cousin Dead Space right above, but still horrifying. Deaths include getting eaten alive by a giant lake monster, torn in half, crushed by a boulder, stabbed in the throat by your own knife, having your head get cut off by a rusty chainsaw, or even insects vomitting acid over you, melting your face off.
* In ''VideoGame/SyphonFilter'', if you hold the taser on someone for too long, they burn to death, often screaming.
* ''VideoGame/AoOni'': Most versions have some variation of this, including head-chomp, being used as an exercise mat and being swallowed whole implied, via Version 6.23's ending). Also, ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''-mode has particularly brutal death scenes.
* In ''VideoGame/ClockTower 3'', a 12 year old girl has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_Pe4no4Pbo her face smashed with a sledgehammer]], a man and his old mother are pushed into a vat of acid and another man falls off a balcony where his head hits an ax and splits in half.
** The first game in the series is quite mundane with its death scenes, but one that stands out is what happens if you fail to pick up the ham before getting locked in the shed; Simon Barrows will ''eat Jennifer instead''. Also, some people theorize that the reason no blood is seen on Laura (as well as her face being hidden) in her shower death scene is because she was scalded to death with hot water (the 10-page manga changes this to her being stabbed while hung in the shower).
* Let us count the ways the player characters in ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'' can die shall we? [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhwc0ouTl4o Take a power drill up a very sensitive place]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrnkIz3GzF4 fall into a trash compacter while handcuffed to your own car]], have half of your body run over by a crane, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV2nweDPkS8 being stabbed in the crotch with a katana]] or [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-bUcGmAH9o getting hit on the head with a plasma TV or sledgehammer]].
* [[LargeHam Inspector Cabanela]] can die this way in ''VideoGame/GhostTrick'' if the player Ghost Swaps the bullet that was supposed to hit him with a nearby helmet mid-flight. The Pidgeon Man says it best: "[[{{Understatement}} That didn't go well.]]"
* Some of the deaths in ''VideoGame/BrainDead13'' may vary, from being torn apart vertically at the eyes by Fritz, to getting your own skull knocked off of your head.
* In ''VideoGame/MuvLuvAlternative'', there's the infamous [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin CHOMP scene]] where Marimo has [[EatenAlive her head bitten in half by a Soldier-class BETA]]. It's notable for being extremely disturbing to the player. But that's not all for that particular death... Takeru proceeds to run away to the world of "Extra", where Marimo is still alive... until she's promptly killed by having her head shoved into a meat grinder.
** Of course, considering KillEmAll, Marimo's death is far from the only case of this trope showing up, it's just the most well known.
* ''VideoGame/MaxPayne 3'': The Cracha Preto horribly murder Marcelo by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necklacing necklacing]] for no real reason, when a gun or knife would have sufficed. Victims of necklacing executions can live for over fifteen minutes after ignition.
* ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'' has several of these, but notable in the sequel is the Tendril power. The primary attack attaches tendrils to the victim's legs and arms, which attach to the nearest wall or ceiling. They then ''pull,'' tearing the victim into two or three. The tendrils and the body stays where they are, meaning that you can have a room full of grisly limbs and black tentacles hanging around everywhere. No puppet jokes, please.
* Any of the death cutscenes in ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs''. The runners, stalkers and clickers tear out Joel/Ellie's jugular with their teeth, and the bloaters grab Joel by the head and pull his jaw apart with their hands.
* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'', a hapless monkey is accused of kidnapping the Deku Princess. Her father tortures him for a confession by repeatedly dipping him into a pot of boiling water. Each time Link visits him the monkey gets dipped again. Do this too many times and the monkey is ''boiled to death''.
* Appears frequently in ''VideoGame/{{BioShock|1}}''; for example, a Big Daddy can kill you by running you through with a giant drill. The plasmids that the player character uses can do this as well, such as sending killer bees at your enemies with the Insect Swarm plasmid, burning them alive with the Incinerate! plasmid, or shooting electricity at them when they are standing in water with the Electro Bolt plasmid.
** One of the most disturbing deaths is that of Andrew Ryan. After just finding out you've been mind-controlled the entire game and the guy who has been trying to kill you this whole time is your father, he asks you oh so kindly if you would assist in Ryan's suicide. You could technically have just whipped out your revolver and put a bullet in his brain to make it more humane, but nope, he decides to have you ''beat his face in with a golfclub'', and doesn't even go down until three more brutal whacks to the cranium, while his face becomes more horrifyingly mangled and distorted, as he lets out a few more disturbingly garbled screams for you to obey. Top it off with part of the golfclub breaking off and lodging into his cranium with a final spurt of blood.
* In ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' gives you Blade Mode will allows you to slice your opponents to ribbons. The main purpose of this is to slice them open so you can rip out their spine.''
* ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'' has Regime!Shazam's death. To clarify: Regime!Superman starts off by choking him. When Regime!Shazam attempts to counter by summoning his magic lightning with "Shazam!", Regime!Superman cuts him off by freezing his mouth and throat shut. Then Regime!Superman uses his heat vision to roast through Regime!Shazam's skull to the other side.
* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' has an off-screen example from the Great War between the Empire and the Aldmeri Dominion. When the Empire crushed the Dominion at the Battle of the Red Ring, Emperor Titus Mede II captured the Aldmeri general, hung him from the top of the White-Gold Tower, and kept him alive for thirty-three days. On the thirty-fourth day, he finally expired and was carried away by a winged daedra. Given that this general was responsible for the sack of the Imperial City and related atrocities... He kind of deserved it.
* Subverted in ''VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonVsAceAttorney'': Any young girl accused of witchcraft is sealed in a steel cage that looks disturbingly similar to an Iron Maiden, then the cage is lowered into a pit of flames. Just to drive the cruelty of it home, all three times this happens on-screen are [=FMVs=], which means you see and hear their terrified begging for help until the cage closing in cuts them off. Luckily for the victims, [[spoiler:the fire is an illusion, and the accused can leave the cage through a trap door and are carted off to a forest outside of town.]]
