History Main / EatenAlive

** The dragon eats Lord Farquaad and [[SpitOutAShoe spits out his crown]] in ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}''.

* In the ''Amon: Apocalypse of Manga/{{Devilman}}'' OVA, Amon, in an act that cements his utter monstrousness, does this to a little girl.

* The BETA in ''LightNovel/MuvLuvAlternativeTotalEclipse'' (and the games it's based upon) exist solely for this trope. By the time the main story begins, the BETA have devoured their way across Eurasia.

If you were looking for the film ''Eaten Alive'' by Creator/TobeHooper, you'll want [[Film/EatenAlive this page]].

%%* ''Film/EatenAlive'' is the trope namer. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample; it being the trope namer doesn't explain how it actually happens in the movie)

* In episode 8 of ''LightNovel/{{Haganai}}'' Season 1, Sena is playing a VisualNovel in the clubroom. Yozora then mentions that the game would be godly if a shark suddenly appeared at the pool Sena's character is currently at. At first Sena berates her for suggesting such an awful thing, then [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor that's exactly what happens]]. Sena thinks it's just a joke at first, thinking the hero will simply vanquish it. Then the shark eats her character, and she suffers from a SuddenDownerEnding. Even Yozora is shocked at the random twist in the game before recollecting herself to call it a good game, while Sena angrily snaps the disc in half.

** [[spoiler:Asuka]] dies ''[[CruelAndUnusualDeath horribly]]'' at the hands of the Mass-Production [=EVAs=], who devour her EVA (with which she is symbiotically synced), in ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion End of Evangelion]]''. And poor Shinji [[BreakTheCutie just has to come across what's left]].

* In ''LightNovel/ReZero'', Subaru suffers this fate at the jaws of a horde of {{Killer Rabbit}}s. He gets better, of course, but the mental trauma is so severe that he spends several minutes after his revival bashing his head against the floor, trying to overcome it.

* ''Literature/TheEnormousCrocodile'' would like to do this to children, but all his attempts to do so are foiled by the other animals.

*** This is a semi-regular occurrence around Visser Three, as his favorite way to execute people is to eat them. Even members of his own species are unsafe, as he'll gladly morph into a Yeerk predator and drag whichever minion pissed him off out of their host's ear.

* In ''Film/{{Willow}}'', when the title character knocks an egg thing into the water, it turns into a two-headed hydra-like monster and [[MonstrousCannibalism eats a Troll]] before chomping down several of Sorsha's men.

See also FedToTheBeast, where someone is deliberately consigned to this awful fate, and TooSpicyForYogSothoth, for when the eater changes its mind. Almost never seen in common media is when the eaten is a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorarephilia vorarephile]], those rare individuals for whom being eaten alive is not a fear... but a [[NightmareFetishist fetish]]. This is one of the more gruesome ways of pulling a DisneyDeath; if someone sees an animal with some clothing in its mouth (especially clothing stained with blood), he isn't likely to wonder about the lack of a body.

* ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon'': In the season 1 finale, [[spoiler:the [[GiantFlyer gigantic dragon Vhagar]] chomps both Prince Lucerys Velaryon and his dragon Arrax in a single bite.]]

* In ''Manga/RebuildWorld'', [[spoiler:Akira and his vehicle are swallowed whole by the Overgrown Snake. Worse still, this isolates him from the outside world and prevents Alpha from supporting him. Alpha expects him to die as a result, but he manages to blast his way out with a minigun, as [[KillItThroughItsStomach the snake's insides are a lot softer than its armored exterior]].]]

* In the ''Amon: Apocalypse of Manga/{{Devilman}}'' OVA, Amon, in an act that cements his utter monstrousness, does this to a little girl.

** Quite a few Apostles are fond of this too, such as the female Apostle that Guts kills in the very beginning of the manga.

* The Creator/DiscoveryChannel documentary ''Eaten Alive'' claimed that this would happen to Paul Rosolie, who would get SwallowedWhole by a green anaconda wearing a special suit for protection. Even before the special came out, many people expressed skepticism, and much to everyone's disappointment, Rosolie [[NeverTrustATrailer wasn't eaten by the anaconda]]. He stopped because the snake started to crush him before swallowing... [[CriticalResearchFailure which is exactly how large snakes hunt]].

%%* The fate of all Cibi in the ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' fic ''Fanfic/CibusEsculentusMadokaMagica''. (Administrivia/ZeroContextExample)
* In the WesternAnimation/{{Encanto}} fanfic [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/37447840/chapters/93454369 Burned,]] begins with Pepa accidentally hitting Camilo with lightning. Half of Camilo's face was burnt due to this.
* [[NightmareFuel A particularly disturbing example]] comes from chapter 23 of ''Fanfic/FalloutEquestriaProjectHorizons'', in which Rampage is captured by the population of Stable 99, which had previously [[AscendedToCarnivorism become cannibals]] due to being infected with a virus. Due to her HealingFactor and [[FromASingleCell regenerative powers]], Blackjack theorizes that [[AndIMustScream she could become a]] [[FateWorseThanDeath permanent food source]] for the cannibals.
