History Main / BellyMouth

** The Outland version of Doomguard demons in ''The Burning Crusade'', such as [[http://www.wowwiki.com/Omor_the_Unscarred Omor the Unscarred]], have a face with a gaping mouth on their chest. Some of them can breathe fire from it.

* In ''Manga/{{The Seven Deadly Sins}}'' Fraudrin of the [[ThePsychoRangers Ten Commandments]] has a large mouth hole upon his chets and pectorals in lace of where it would be on his face.

* In the ''Epic'', 6mm-scale, version of ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' the smaller, close assault focused [[HumongousMecha Slasher Gargants]] used by the [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Orks]] often replaced their belly gun with a set of mechanical jaws known as a Snapper. The Gargant uses these steam powered jaws to rip and tear pieces from enemy [[HumongousMecha Titans]], causing massive damage to the target area.

* In the ''Epic'', 6mm-scale, version of ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' the smaller, close assault focused [[HumungusMecha Slasher Gargants]] used by the [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Orks]] often replaced their belly gun with a set of mechanical jaws known as a Snapper. The Gargant uses these steam powered jaws to rip and tear pieces from enemy [[HumungusMecha Titans]], causing massive damage to the target area.

* ''ComicBook/SatansHollow'': While John's soul is being tortured in hell, the female demon overseeing his treatment for some reason conjures a mouth in his chest.

** An example is seen here with [[http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Creature:Bellylegs this creation]]. This creature has mouths and faces [[TooManyMouths all over its body]] ([[AHeadatEachEnd tail]], belly, legs, feet, etc..), including on its belly, and these developed minds of their own. After the [[TinyHeadedBehemoth small human head]] was [[LosingYourHead crushed]] by ''[[OrganAutonomy the feet]]'', it could be considered a {{Cephalothorax}} as its only head was on its belly. However, faces formed on the ''belly mouth’s belly''.

** In ''TabletopGame/BloodBowl'', the Nurgle Star Player Guffle Pusmaw has been blessed with the mutation of a large mouth situated on his swollen paunch. Guffle has since learned how to use this drooling maw to receive a pass far better could when using his hands, becoming the most successful Nurgle Catcher in the history of the game.

A classic trope, the belly of a creature/character/machine actually has a mouth directly outside from its place in the body. Sometimes it's disguised and well hidden, other times it's used as an intimidation tool, or sign to state that the character in question is a VillainousGlutton, a BigEater or somewhere in between when regarding the consumption of vast quantities in (usually) organic material, even going so far as to make it out to be a horrifying monster, or from time to time, a ''comical'' character.

* Back in TheNineties, {{Nickelodeon}} ran a series of live-action shorts featuring characters that consisted of talking belly buttons. They even managed to make one of these shorts basically an anti-smoking [[PublicServiceAnnouncement PSA]].

** Early models for the Great Unclean One, Greater Daemon of Nurgle from ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' and ''TabletopGame/Warhammer 40000'', were a giant diseased hulk that had a grinning mouth in its belly.

For a much more [[FreudWasRight Freudian]], disturbing variation on the "mouth in the wrong place" theme, see VaginaDentata.

* In ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' the Ultra Beast Guzzlord (UB-05 Gluttony) has a small, conular head mounted on a body with a huge maw and two eyes accompanied by eyebrow-like protrusions.

* The Ducky Goose and Drak Quack dream eaters in ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3D'' have a very prominent one, from which they generate various party toys and fireworks to attack with. The former's Japanese name (Haraguchi Ahiru) even translates literally into "belly mouth duck". However, the way their heads hang back limply when they run, coupled with the suspiciously eye-like markings above their belly mouths can make one question whether or not they're really just [[WaddlingHead waddling heads]] with a fake head on top.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Kirby}}'s Dream Land 3'' and ''VideoGame/Kirby64TheCrystalShards'', when Dark Matter possesses King Dedede, the King gains a huge gaping belly-mouth that shoots Dark Matter pellets at you.

* The Ultra Beast Guzzlord from ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' has a small, conular head mounted on a body with a huge maw and two eyes accompanied by eyebrow-like protrusions.

* ''Film/FaustLoveOfTheDamned'': "M" kills one of his followers (the satanic-alligned police commissioner) for running his mouth off by unbuttoning his shirt and then eating him alive in front of everyone.

* One of the [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampires]] in ''Film/FromDuskTillDawn'' has it. On the surface it merely appears as an [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking ugly, fat and nude]] female vampire creature before it's revealed it's bulging gut hides a monstrous shark-like mouth within. This vampire is briefly seen before it gets killed, but the scene in which it actually uses its Belly Mouth was cut. [[spoiler:The vamp was dubbed the "Mouth-Bitch" during production and [[WordOfGod was infamous for how gruesome it was. So much so that screenplay writer/actor, Quentin Tarantino reportedly refused to go near it]].]]
** It was designed that way as a [[WordOfGod tribute]] to the ''Film/TheThing1982'' in reference to the [[ShoutOut scene mentioned below]]. Only with the more lethal and gruesome function of [[DeletedScene biting off and devouring the victim's head]].

** In ''Film/TheThing2011'', one Thing diagonally opens its ribcage into a snapping mouth while attempting to kill a female protagonist.

!!Examples

* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''

* No-Face in ''Anime/SpiritedAway'' has one. It's most obvious in the bathhouse scene where he goes berserk, but later in the scene at Zeniba's house you can see it again briefly as he's eating cake.

(''Spider-guy crawls off, revealing himself to be a separate creature'')\\

* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''

* [[FluffyTheTerrible Lord Chompy Bits]] from ''{{Malifaux}}''.

* A few ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'' monsters are like this, such as [[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Stuffed_Animal Stuffed Animal]] and [[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Ghoul_with_an_Appetite Ghoul with an Appetite]].
