History Main / Chestburster

* In ''Fanfic/{{Day of the Barney|Trilogy}}'', this is how [[spoiler:the Loved Ones reproduce.]]
* In ''Fanfic/Flashpoint2AdventSolaris'', Shadow the Hedgehog defeats Grayven, one of Darkseid's sons, by chaos controlling inside of him and bursting out of him.
* In the MagicalGirl CrisisCrossover ''FanFic/ShatteredSkiesTheMorningLights'', [[Anime/SmilePrecure Joker]] manages to hijack the [[Franchise/MadokaMagica Incubators]] and corrupt their HiveMind, so that whenever his current body is killed, a new one is born from an Incubator in this fashion.
* In ''Fanfic/SonOfTheSannin'', Hidan has the Demonic Summon: Sons of Jashin, which enables him to summon demonic creatures inside his opponents' bodies and then kill them from the inside out.
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2917960/1/Yu-Gi-Oh-Tilting-the-Balance Yu-Gi-Oh: Tilting the Balance]]'', this inevitably happens when someone plays an Alien deck.
-->'''Chad:''' Everybody get back! [[ShoutOut I saw this happen to John Hurt once!]]

* In ''WebOriginal/{{Mortasheen}}'', this is the creature [[http://www.bogleech.com/mortasheen/depraven.htm Depraven's]] main attack. It is apparently hermaphroditic, as it has twin stingers, one which injects a "spermatomoeba" and the other an "egg-spore". The Depraven dies shortly after stinging its victim, while the resulting embryos rapidly mature and peck their way out.

* [[https://www.news.com.au/technology/science/animals/photographer-captures-insane-moment-snake-eel-escapes-from-inside-herons-stomach/news-story/49d0ef4386cb8c8be1bbeca8c3b0da51 In November 2020]], a photographer in Maryland spotted a heron that had swallowed a live snake eel... only for the eel to [[RegretEatingMe burst out of the heron's stomach and try to escape]]. While the eel did not, in fact, manage to get out and return to the water in time, it's probably safe to assume [[TakingYouWithMe the heron didn't make it either]].

* Viruses do this on a cellular level, injecting their genetic material and hijacking the cell's internal mechanisms to make more viruses. Though some simply lyse out of the host without killing it, [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou to keep it alive for further replication]]. In multicellular organisms this appears as disease on the macroscopic level.

* There is a type of fungus called Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, which possesses ants and controls them so it can make them crawl into a good spot to grow and reproduce in. After it forces the ant to go into a suitable spot it uses the sugars in the the ants body to live on and eventually leaves the ant as a husk. It will then grow out of the ant's body, ripping it open. Several ant species have developed counter-measures to this by observing ants with unusual behavior and quickly guiding them far away so that the doomed ant won't infect the whole hive. It's quite efficient too.

* [[spoiler:Reneesme]] from the ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' series. An odd version given that she is the [[spoiler:daughter]] of the two lead characters. The character from whom she bursts out of survives only by EmergencyTransformation.

* Several viruses do this to their host cells, though others simply lyse out of the host [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou to keep it alive for further replication]]. Diseases are a side effect.

* HUMANOID Szayel Aporro Grantz does this in ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''. He impregnates the victim with himself, being "reborn" fully grown upon death.
* The Anime/SixGatesWorld franchise is fond of this. In ''Anime/MonColleKnights'', Oroboros does this to its host, the Dread Dragon. In ''MajuutsukaiNoShoujo'', Kashe uses her own body as host for a demon, which ends up growing through her skin from all sides and eventually around her. After overcoming its mindrape from the inside, Kashe then chest-bursts from it.
* ''Manga/ImmortalRain'': This is how Yuca Collabel resurrects himself after a [[ExpressDelivery two-month gestation period]]. He probably wouldn't have fit out the normal way since he had already aged to the form of a prepubescent boy ''in utero''.
* Several of ''{{Manga/Berserk}}'''s nastier monsters such as the trolls of the Qliphoth and Emperor Ganishka's demonic Daka soldiers reproduce like parasites whose offspring kill the host. The former are conceived through [[FaceFullOfAlienWingWong rape of human women]], the later by immersing pregnant women in a vessel connected to Hell so that their children are corrupted in the womb. What both have in common is that once developed, they exit the host in an extremely painful and fatal way. Young trolls grow quickly in the woman, until they claw and rip their way out of her stomach, then eat her still warm body. Baby Daka burst out of the abdomen, leaving the woman to bleed out, and get collected in cages by attendants.

* Parodied in the final episode of ''Manga/BoboboboBobobo''.

* In ''Manga/HunterXHunter'' the Chimera Ant King bursts out of his mother the Queen this way, shredding most of her internal organs in the process. The Queen eventually dies despite the Hunters' medical intervention but Colt is able to save her last unborn child [[spoiler:who turns out to be Kaito reincarnated.]]
* Played With in ''Manga/HakkendenEightDogsOfTheEast'' as Murasame ''[[BodyHorror bursts]]'' out of Shino's arm. And that's more to do with that is where he resides as Shino is his vessel.
* In one episode/chapter of ''Manga/SoulEater'', Soul did this to Maka. However, it was AllJustADream.
* ''Literature/CoffinPrincessChaika'' has possibly the first time this trope has been combined with OnlyMostlyDead. [[spoiler:Frederica "dies," but some time later a FunSize version explodes out of her abdomen.]]

* In one of the first issues of ''ComicBook/{{Spawn}},'' the hellion comes up against a heavily armored cyborg. As Spawn notes, that armor is like a safe: meant to keep people ''out,'' not ''in.'' And now he has an array of reality altering powers at his command....
--> Spawn: [[PreMortemOneLiner Ever see]] ''[[PreMortemOneLiner Alien]]''[[PreMortemOneLiner ?]]

* In ''ComicBook/RedRobin'' Sac is a PestController that has thousands of poisonous spiders eat and claw their way out of one of his victims once the man has served his purpose.

* ''ComicBook/Jonesy2018'': To be expected since it takes place during the events of ''Film/{{Alien}}'', though the very scene where Kane dies from this is obscured by Jones bursting out of Ripley's jacket.

* Parodied in ''ComicStrip/TheFarSide'', which shows a [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Xenomorph]] family sitting down for dinner and one of the juveniles playing with the food — actually, ''in'' the food.

* An homage appears to the chest burster scene in ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek 2}}'', when fighting Puss. Puss comes bursting out of Shrek's shirt at chest level, hissing and clawing.

* The Xenomorph life cycle in ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' is the TropeNamer and TropeCodifier in modern media.
* ''Film/{{Prometheus}}'':
** [[spoiler:The Deacon skips the Xenomorph's larval stage and rips its way out of the Engineer's chest already a humanoid.]]
** And that thing came from [[spoiler:a squid-like creature that very nearly killed Shaw had she not quickly gotten it removed- made all the worse by the fact that her crewmates actively refused to help her, and she had to resort to the use of a machine ''programmed for men'' which cut her open and removed it while she was still fully conscious]].
** And before that [[spoiler:there's a strange, facehugger-like creature apparently coming from mutated worms. When confronted, this thing will latch onto its victim, and much like the facehugger, getting it off is easier said than done, since attempting to remove it only causes it to tighten its grip, and cutting it releases a highly corrosive acid. Then the creature in question actually works it's way ''into the victim's mouth'' and in the process causes them to suffocate to death while it does... something in their body — probably reproduce]].

* Spoofed in ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'', where a spoiled sandwich in a greasy spoon diner results in a chest-bursting alien that then grabs a top hat and cane and does a further parody of [[WesternAnimation/OneFroggyEvening Michigan Frog]] from ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''. Made even funnier by the fact that the guy it happens to is played by [[Creator/JohnHurt the same actor]].
-->"[[OhNoNotAgain Oh, no, not]] ''[[OhNoNotAgain again]]''!"
* A supernatural, non sci-fi example occurs in ''Film/SeedingOfAGhost'', which has the Demon Fetus - the restless soul of an aborted baby who became a demon - later gaining a physical form, and bursting out of it's victim's chest.
* ''Film/SpeciesII'' has a scene with a woman who just had sex becoming visibly pregnant almost immediately, and splitting open.
* Happens to Jesse in ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreetPart2FreddysRevenge'', when Freddy cuts his way out of his body.
* The first ''Film/{{Xtro}}'' has a woman being impregnated by an alien entity, with the offspring (a fully grown man) exploding out of her the next day.

* In ''Film/TheGuyver'', [[TheDragon Lisker]] kills Sean by ripping the control medal from his forehead. Sean's body [[NoBodyLeftBehind withers away]] and [[ImMelting melts]]. However, it turns out the medallion still contains Sean's genetic code, and begins regrowing his body. When another Zoanoid (played by Creator/JeffreyCombs) swallows it, it finishes regrowing Sean in his stomach, and Sean cuts his way free of the dead [[{{Mook}} Mook]]'s body fully grown.
* In ''Film/TalesFromTheHood2'', [[spoiler:Audrey]] suffers DeathByChildbirth when dozens of [[spoiler:golliwog dolls]] rip their way out of her abdomen.

* One of Brian Aldiss' stories has a non-lethal example: the crew of a spaceship are horrified when a parasitic worm burrows its way out of a man on a planet they're visiting. The victim is pretty sick, but survives.

* In ''The Cat From Hell'' (from the anthology ''Literature/JustAfterSunset''), a cat kills a hitman by OrificeInvasion through [[AttackTheMouth his mouth]], and then the next day a passerby sees the hitman's body with a hole in his stomach that the cat had made with its claws.
* ''Literature/DiaryOfAWimpyKid: The getaway'': Greg gets startled by a sea horse while snorkeling, and in a panic, swallows some water. Worried that he might've accidentally swallowed the seahorse, Greg imagines it bursting out of his midsection at school.
* The "shit-weasels" in Creator/StephenKing's ''Literature/{{Dreamcatcher}}'' have a particularly nasty exit: chewing out of people's butts.
* ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'': In t''Literature/StormFront'', Harry has to investigate a series of murders in which the victims' [[spoiler:chest cavities exploded and their hearts flung out.]]

* In an appropriation of the Athena myth, ''Literature/ParadiseLosts'' sings of how Lady Sin burst out of Satan's skull, horrifying Heaven and Hell alike.

* In ''Literature/SpeakerForTheDead'', it is revealed that [[spoiler:infant piggies eat their way out of their mother's body as a natural part of their reproductive cycle. This is actually one of the ''less'' [[BizarreAlienBiology weird aspects of their biology]].]]

%%* Implied of Ixtl in ''Literature/BlackDestroyer''.
* In-Verse example: When Molly's team from ''Literature/{{Neuromancer}}'' surprise him in Istanbul, Riviera uses his subliminal perception-warping tech to make himself appear to be a victim of this trope, with a gruesome monster ripping its way out of his back.

* This is how the Magog reproduce in ''Series/{{Andromeda}}''.

* ''Series/TheXFiles'': "[[Recap/TheXFilesS02E09Firewalker Firewalker]]" contained a parasitic fungus that made its victim burst open, spreading spores to surrounding people. All the scarier, since because this was an early episode, the concept exists in RealLife. Admittedly, it parasitizes ''ants'', but...

* Good ol' [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Zeus]] has survived more than his fair share of this trope: first, when Athena sprang (fully formed and clad in armor) out of his head, and another time, when Dionysus was born out of his leg (though in this case Zeus had actually ''stitched him up in there beforehand'').

%%* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'': The alien scene is spoofed in adventure ''Castle Drachenfels''.
* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'':
** Early-edition rules allow genestealers (think Xenomorphs minus the acid blood) to implant eggs into models in close combat. A young genestealer could hatch from the model on later turns, presumably ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'''s style. This rule was later incorporated into a different Tyranid, the HeroUnit called the Parasite of Mortex, after the nature of the genestealers was tweaked.
** The Barbed Strangler weapon, in early rules, instantly kills the target due to a seed pod [[WhenTreesAttack instantly growing into a sentient mutated vine cluster from inside the body]] and scything through people nearby.
** The wasp-like psychneuein reproduce by implanting their eggs directly within the minds of intelligent creatures, preferably psykers. On hatching, the larva feeds on its victim's mind and brain until it's grow, at which point it tears its way free and pupates into an adult.

* In ''TabletopGame/{{Deadlands}}'', Prairie Ticks are giant ticks which somehow have mouthpieces too weak to penetrate skin. So, they crawl down a person's mouth into their stomach to suck blood from their softer innards. And seeing as how the basic tick is about the size of a fist and, like a normal tick, they expand to ''200 times their original size'', when they detach and crawl back out, it usually kills the host.
* Be very afraid if your GM for the ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'' RPG ''Mechwarrior'' decides to bring in some of the various wildlife that inhabits the setting. The [[http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Crana crana]] is essentially [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_isopod a giant isopod]] partaking of this trope, thanks to its spike-like claws, paralytic venom, blood sucking feeding methods, and their tendency to lay eggs in victims that require highly advanced medical care to remove. Oh, and they're immune to poison ''and'' never appear alone or in small numbers, so the only way to handle a crana swarm without being overrun is [[KillItWithFire lots of fire]].
* In ''TabletopGame/HcSvntDracones'' [[http://hcsvntdracones-game.tumblr.com/post/91975466958/hsd-has-limitless-potential-for-adversary-and Whispers]] can liquefy and "dive" into a potential host, seconds later either the host explodes and two Whispers emerge, or the host simply explodes.
* The board game Nemesis, [[SincerestFormOfFlattery in the footsteps of its']] [[Franchise/{{Alien}} main inspiration,]] has a mechanic where characters can get infected with an alien larva that [[OneHitKill kills the character instantly]] upon hatching.
* The wrap rule for whenever a character in ''TabletopGame/DieLaughing'' is killed by "Bloodthirsty Bunnies" requires this to happen to the unfortunate player, requiring one character to make a Spirit Check in response.

* ''VideoGame/{{Splatterhouse}}''
** Parodied in ''Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti'', the NES-only SuperDeformed sequel to ''VideoGame/{{Splatterhouse}}''. At one point Rick encounters an unconscious [[VideoGame/TheQuestOfKi Ki]] on an operating table: suddenly, her belly inflates and bursts, releasing lots and lots of little spiders. When Rick kills all of the spiders, [[UnexplainedRecovery Ki wakes up, being perfectly fine, and goes away!]]
** In the first level of ''Splatterhouse 2'', a boreworm enemy ejects itself from a zombie's chest in this fashion, effectually re-killing it.
* ''Franchise/ResidentEvil''
** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'', either Ben or Chief Irons gets one of these from the [[OneWingedAngel mutated]] William Birkin. Canonically speaking, it winds up being Irons.
** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6'', we get the Rasklapanje, a creature similar to the Regeneradors from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4''. They infect others by drilling a hole into the victim's face and planting a parasite, which, in seconds, bursts out from the victim's chest, fully-grown.
* Don't get kissed by the Xenomorph-lookalike in ''VideoGame/SpaceQuestIIVohaulsRevenge'', or it will impregnate Roger with one of these, hatching out of him near the end of the game.
* ''{{VideoGame/XCOM}}'':
** Chryssalids. First, they inject you with an egg, which zombifies you and makes you attack other humans. Once zombie you has been killed, or the Chryssalid inside you matures enough, [[BodyHorror your entire body splits open,]] revealing a Chryssalid. The only way to prevent this is to kill the zombies [[KillItWithFire with fire.]]
** Tentuculats in the sequel work the same way. [[StarfishAlien Except they're flying brain squids]], ''but worse.''

* In ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay'', [[spoiler:[[BigBad Heinrich]] bursts out of the Panther King's chest in the final.]]
* An example that doesn't involve chestburster-esque monsters or other monstrosities, but ''VideoGame/KabukiZ'' has a boss, called the Dragon Warrior, who hides the soul of two ''kunoichi'' inside himself. After you defeat the warrior, he then collapses, before his back starts moving with the motion of something about to burst out. And then two ''kunoichi'' jumps out of his dead body (who deflates away) and you fight them as a DualBoss.
* The facehuggers in ''Videogame/AlienResurrection'' implant the player character with these, just like in the films, and you have only a short time to find an AutoDoc before they hatch.
* The Good Ending of ''VideoGame/{{Covetous}}'' ends this way, with the parasitic twin emerging from its brother's stomach, killing him.
* ''VideoGame/StarCraftIIHeartOfTheSwarm'': In one mission Kerrigan implants a Zerg larva into a Protoss prisoner then allows her ship to "rescue" her. Once it's on board the larva bursts out of her chest and starts sneaking around the ship infesting and bursting out of several lab animals until it accumulates enough biomass to mutate into a [[HiveQueen Brood Mother]].
* The third game in ''VideoGame/DontEscape'' has the mysterious crystal being capable of doing this if it infects a human being's insides, eventually growing too large to contain.
* It is revealed in ''VideoGame/JurassicParkTheGame'' that this is how the [[spoiler:''Troodon'']] reproduce. [[RuleOfScary Note that there is absolutely no evidence for this happening in real life.]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Broforce}}'', an indie platform shooter/80's action movie homage features Xenomorph [[{{Expy}} lookalikes/parodies]] as enemies. No points for guessing what happens to you if a facehugger latches on your face.
* Hearteater, one of several of [[ThatOneBoss those bosses]] from ''VideoGame/BatenKaitosOrigins'', has an attack called Ovulate that shoots an ally with a bunch of needles and starts a countdown. If you don't cure it before it hits zero a bunch of worm larvae violently erupt from the character and deliver a OneHitKO.
* ''VideoGame/{{Elona}}'' features a hostile alien that bursts out of the character's chest, as a homage to ''Franchise/{{Alien}}''.

* In ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony'', [[spoiler:Monophanie suffers this fate as Monokuma secretly activates something inside of her stomach when Gonta was getting executed. A giant killer wasp rips her stomach apart, slices Monotaro in half and skewers Gonta. Monokuma took pleasure in all of this while this left Keebo horrified and upset.]]
* ''[[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Fate/Stay Night]]'': In ''Heaven's Feel'', [[spoiler:True Assassin comes to being by "eating" Assassin from inside.]]

* [[https://pbfcomics.com/comics/cromax/ Cromax]] of ComicStrip/ThePerryBibleFellowship, an alien working at an Earth fast food restaurant, apparently infects the food with his larvae, which proceed to burst out of unwitting customers' insides. Cromax's punishment? He's [[RestrainedRevenge fired]].

* [[https://explosm.net/comics/matt-its-like-that-scene-from-aliens-but-with-more-cake This]] ''Webcomic/CyanideAndHappiness'' strip. Rather odd example.
* ''Webcomic/SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal'' [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=499#comic uses this]] combined with HeartIsAnAwesomePower and PreciousPuppies.
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004008 used this]] to parody ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' in conjunction with ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''.
* ''Webcomic/TheWorldIsFlat'' depicts this [[http://theworldisflatcomics.tumblr.com/post/135359423028/dating-an-astronaut-daily-10-yesterday-was-a here.]]
* ''Webcomic/TheBikiniBottomHorror'': Happens to [[spoiler:Mr. Krabs]] after being force-fed a [[spoiler:raw Krabby Patty]].

* ''Website/SCPFoundation''

* One ''WebAnimation/{{asdfmovie}}'' skit has someone apparently deliberately cause a monster to pop out of his chest as a subversion of the SquirtingFlowerGag.
* [[WebAnimation/TheLazerCollection Doctor Octogonapus]] does this once somehow when he bursts out of some superhero.

* In the [[http://www.burgrr.com/ Burgrr.com Terms and Conditions]] [[http://bogleech.com/burgrr-walkthrough.html ARG]] [[spoiler:eating Burgrr's food causes the eater to serve as an incubator for the Brainflies, which then go on to be processed and sold to another dimension.]]
* In A WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PP8avO4rlMQ&list=PL19B0B5CCFEF1C0C9&index=120 Easter short]], Toothy gets this treatment after the eggs he swallowed up ended up containing little chicks. Cue them popping out of his stomach, and no worse for wear.

* Parodied in ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', a video about talking about gay people had scene where a gay man was syringed by a doctor he suddenly spouted acid blood, and a full grown [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Xenomorph]] burst out of him, attacking the doctor.
* Parodied ''twice'' in the "Summerween" episode of ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls''. Firstly, Grunkle Stan tries to pull one of these in his attempt to scare some snarky Trick Or Treaters, but it turns out unsuccessful; the fact that he used a cute and cuddly pig might have something to do with that. Later on, [[spoiler:Soos eats his way out of the Summerween Trickster and comes out in a similar fashion]].
* The title characters of ''WesternAnimation/SanjayAndCraig'' fake this as a distraction to sneak into a hospital, with Craig (a snake) bursting out of Sanjay's shirt.

* ''WesternAnimation/BreadWinners'': This happens to Buhduece three times in the episode "Space Ducks". The bursters include Swaysway (who snuck onto the space ship), Jelly (who Swaysway brought with him), and an actual Xenomorph.
* ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'': A sketch based on ''WesternAnimation/TheJetsons'' has Elroy adopting a [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Facehugger]], resulting in a chest buster eventually coming out of him. At the end, a second chest burster emerges from Astro's ''ass'', to which Jane quips "You know that's scary exactly once."

-->'''George:''' Wow, you really ''are'' sad.

* This is how [[Manga/ImmortalRain Yuca Collabel]] resurrects himself after a [[ExpressDelivery two month gestation period]]. He probably wouldn't have fit out the normal way since he had already aged to the form of a prepubescent boy ''in utero''.

When the pendant is accidentally broken, the first person to touch SCP-3963 (a Mayan nobleman) appears, only to die when a female resesrcher bursts out of his chest. Then her male colleague's corpse bursts out of her stomach, killing her. Then all the succeeding subjects burst out nesting-doll-style, right down to the demon.
