History ExtremeOmnivore / VideoGames

*** In a reference to ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3'', Snake, in his Codec Taunt in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'' turns the tables on Yoshi and wonders what it'd taste like.

* ''VideoGame/KatamariDamacy'' has two examples for its [[WidgetSeries naturally surreal design]]. The first was in ''We Love Katamari'' where an up and coming sumo asks for your help to beat his opponents and you proceed to use HIM as your katamari. Though you can roll up anything in the level like normal(including things like plates, doors, and [[IAmAHumanitarian yes, the people running around in the level]]) he'll only get bigger by eating food items, which still crosses into this trope since entire vending machines are "food". The second is The King in ''Touch My Katamari'' where he wants the prince to make Katamaris for him to eat(to somehow lose weight apparently, and [[MST3KMantra make stars]] through an even more confusing process than the last times). Again, this will include at least ten dozen non-edible objects per level.

*** In the ''WesternAnimation/SuperMarioWorld'' cartoon, Yoshi eats a variety of things. Among his meals are blocks, fireballs, wood, stone, a Chargin' Chuck (which he can't eat in [[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld the actual game]]), many Piranha Plants, an entire harvest of cave crops, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTs66G1z2b4 King Koopa, Hip and Hop]]. He even ate Mario once.

*** Franchise/{{Kirby}} has been eating his enemies more than Yoshi has, including ones that are many times his size. The Hypernova ability in ''VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe'' allows him to eat even larger things, including entire trees. The [[Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa anime series]] portrays him as having some sort of pocket dimension inside of his stomach.

* ''VideoGame/MinecraftStoryMode'': Petra’s implies to be this. In Season 2 Episode 3, the Warden reads off her prisoner file and lists that her favorite weapon, tool, and... food are all "sword." Jesse then confirms that the file is accurate.

*** ''VideoGame/Pikmin2'' instroduces Louie. Not only does this guy make recipes for ''every single enemy in game'', he's also implied to have ate several of them to test out the possible varying side effects that range from MushroomSamba to ''outright death'', and somehow managed to survive them regardless. Ontop of that, one of said creatures he's implied to have eatten was a creature ''made entirely out of rock, and he himself admits that it was inedible''! (Yet, regardless, he states in his notes that it TasteLikeChicken.)

* Naked Snake/Big Boss from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3'', whose conversations with his medical contact mostly revolved around how tasty the latest animal he'd captured or killed was. Among the items on his menu were various poisonous snakes, ("Cannibal.") mushrooms, crocodiles, frogs, tropical birds, rodents, and [[ArsonMurderandJaywalking ramen noodles]].
** He is such a glutton, he ''repeatedly'' asks [[TooDumbToLive how delicious a Poison Arrow Frog and Fly Algaric are]], in spite of the fact of being ''repeatedly'' told that both are ''instantly'' lethal to consume.
*** In one 'outtake' he's berated by his {{Mentor}} for wanting to eat her horse, and during the game it's also possible to [[ImAHumanitarian eat a vulture that's eaten a human]] ([[DevelopersForesight you will remember this]]).

* ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter Tri'' has Deviljho, a dangerous endgame-level monster only encountered in the online mode. It's an Extreme Omnivore not in the "eats cars and lightbulbs" sense so much as apparently having ''no'' standards for what kind of meat it'll eat. On top of being a voracious predator that hunts nonstop due to its extremely high metabolism (to the point of driving other species to extinction, according to the game's description), it's also been observed in actual gameplay to munch on slain or captured members of its ''own species'' as well as its ''own severed tail''.

*** Yoshi, first appearing in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'', can eat almost anything that moves with his long sticky tongue. Adding to the fun, in later games, things he eats get crapped out as ''eggs'' (apparently empty ones). Yoshi's stomach has gradually grown less sensitive in each game he has starred in. In ''VideoGame/YoshisStory'', the newborn Yoshis (except for the hidden black and white ones) would prefer specific foods over others, even take damage from eating things they didn't like, like black Shy Guys or hot peppers. In ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland'', his tongue would bounce off of spiny, large, or tough enemies. In ''Super Mario World'', he could eat pretty much anything.

* ''VideoGame/ThePrinceOfLandis'': The Guest who crash-lands on Earth. Some of the first things [[PlayerCharacter Evan]] gets for him to eat include the roadkill bunny Evan's father killed, and aluminum cans.

* Kingseeker Frampt in ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsI'' serves as your VendorTrash disposal by eating the equipment and giving you souls in return. He particularly enjoys Dung Pies, which he "buys" at retail price from you, making it an effective way to store some extra souls. He can also break Titanite into smaller pieces for you by chewing it up.

*** Franchise/{{Kirby}} has been eating his enemies more than Yoshi has, including ones that are many times his size. The Supernova ability in ''VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe'' allows him to eat even larger things, including entire trees. The [[Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa anime series]] portrays him as having some sort of pocket dimension inside of his stomach.

*** Louie. Not only does this guy make recipes for ''every single enemy in game'', he's also implied to have ate several of them to test out the possible varying side effects that range from MushroomSamba to ''outright death'', and somehow managed to survive them regardless. Ontop of that, one of said creatures he's implied to have eatten was a creature ''made entirely out of rock, and he himself admits that it was inedible''! (Yet, regardless, he states in his notes that it TasteLikeChicken.)
*** The Pikmin's [[LivingShip Onions]] may also be an example, they consume pellets and the remains of defeated enemies (including things like pearls) that the Pikmin bring back to make more Pikmin. Kind of like a real-life ant queens.

* ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' has a wide array of food to choose from. It also has Rotten Flesh, which comes from zombies. It has a 20% chance of inflicting Food Poisoning to consumers.

** He is ''such'' a glutton he ''repeatedly'' asks how delicious a [[TooDumbToLive Poison Arrow Frog]] and [[WhatAnIdiot Fly Algaric]] are, in spite of the fact of being ''repeatedly'' told that both are ''instantly'' lethal to consume.

* ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'' -- like [[VideoGame/BioShock the games before it in the series]] -- carries on the element of encouraging you to rummage and scrounge through available nook and cranny for resources, including [[HyperactiveMetabolism food to heal from]]. ''Infinite'' [[UpToEleven dials it up a notch]] as not only is this element more pronounced thanks to the greatly-reduced presence of health kits, some places include trash bins and ''toilets'' (specifically [[GoodiesInTheToilets the infamously dubious "toilet potatoes"]]). Given how [[PlayerCharacter Booker DeWitt]] is very explicitly a broke, heavily in-debt gambler who lives out of his office, one can easily imagine that him being completely unpicky is completely in-character. In the ''Burial At Sea'' DLC, [[LampshadeHanging the game itself will comment on Booker's tendency of eating food out of the trash]] (no doubt because of [[MemeticMutation how much fans noticed it]]).

*** Louie. Not only does this guy make recipes for ''every single enemy in game'', he's also implied to have ate several of them to test out the possible varying side effects that range from MushroomSamba to ''outright death'', and somehow managed to survive them regardless. Ontop of that, one of said creatures he's implied to have eatten was a creature ''[[UpToEleven made entirely out of rock, and he himself admits that it was inedible]]''! (Yet, regardless, he states in his notes that it TasteLikeChicken.)

* ''VideoGame/NetHack'' already allows the player to eat many types of food, but ''VideoGame/SlashEmExtended'' takes that [[UpToEleven up to eleven]] with the Activistor role. They can eat meat, vegetables, corpses, rock, glass, bone, iron and several kinds of other metals. Plastic is still inedible for them though.

* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' has Cho'gath, whose level 6 ability allows him to basically eat(or attempt to eat) anything with a health bar[[note]]such as humans, Yordles, [[TelescopingRobot robots]], [[EskimoLand humans]] [[ABoyAndHisX riding]] [[BigfootSasquatchAndYeti yetis]], [[MiniMecha Yordles riding robots]], [[RobotGirl formerly human robots]], [[ElementalEmbodiment elementals]], [[LivingShadow shadows]], [[ALoadOfBull minotaurs]], [[OurLichesAreDifferent liches]], giant armadillos, anthropomorphic dogs, anthropomorphic crocodiles, [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolves]], [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampires]], [[VampireHunter vampire hunters]], [[RuleOfThree Yordle]] [[{{Mummy}} mummies]], [[OurGhostsAreDifferent wraiths]], [[GorgeousGorgon gorgons]], [[{{Ninja}} human ninjas]], [[RunningGag Yordle ninjas]], [[AnIcePerson icy]] [[ThePhoenix phoenixes]], [[OurAngelsAreDifferent angels]], [[FallenAngel other angels]], other [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]], [[ScaryScarecrows scarecrows]], [[WolfTropes wolves]], [[OurDemonsAreDifferent scary demons]], [[{{Golem}} golems]], [[HumanoidAbomination scary humanoid demons]], [[WhenTreesAttack mobile trees]], [[OurTrollsAreDifferent trolls]], [[OurGargoylesRock gargoyles]], [[OurZombiesAreDifferent zombies]], [[RunningGag Yordle]] [[GadgeteerGenius inventors]], ''[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial totally]]'' [[AvertedTrope non-]][[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame dwarves]], [[SiliconBasedLife crystalline]] [[ScaryScorpions scorpions]], [[OurDragonsAreDifferent dragons]], [[ThePowerOfRock METAL suits of armor]], [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Purple Skinned Star Babes]], [[VoluntaryShapeshifting human-raven-things]], [[RunningGag Yordles]], giant lizards, [[YouDirtyRat anthropomorphic rats]], [[StockNessMonster sea monsters]], [[FrankensteinsMonster zombie cyborg]] [[GiantEnemyCrab crab things]], [[Literature/JourneyToTheWest anthropomorphic monkeys]], [[RunningGag Yordles]], [[MirrorMatch himself]], [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and]] [[OverusedRunningGag Yordles]][[/note]], growing in size and gaining bonus HP if he is successful. His passive, "Carnivore", has him restore health and mana whenever he scores a killing blow on something, implying he eats at least a part of everything he kills.

*** The ''Pikmin'' series gives us Louie. Not only does this guy make recipes for ''every single enemy in game'', he's also implied to have ate several of them to test out the possible varying side effects that range from MushroomSamba to ''outright death'', and somehow managed to survive them regardless. Ontop of that, one of said creatures he's implied to have eatten was a creature ''[[UpToEleven made entirely out of rock, and he himself admits that it was inedible]]''! (Yet, regardless, he states in his notes that it TasteLikeChicken.)

** The series' BigBad Yuuki Terumi is presented as this Noel's gag ending in ''VideoGame/BlazBlueContinuumShift'' when everyone goes eat together. Noel's terrible cooking knocks out everyone except for Terumi, who absolutely loves the food.

* Pit from ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'' is said to be this. He himself even mentions eating ice cream off the floor!
