** ''Film/JurassicPark'': Sysadmin Dennis Nedry sets off the chain of events that releases the animals, and then is eaten by one.

* [[ComicBook/NewMutants Wolfsbane]] had an abusive bigot of a father by the name of [[SinisterMinister Reverend Craig]], whose sadistic career came to an end when the brainwashing that ''he inflicted upon her'' kicks in, and she mistakes him for the Angel, whom he had ordered her to kill; she lunges at him in her wolf-form, in a bestial state, killing and devouring him. She doesn't remember a thing when she recovers, and her teammates wisely decide to keep it a secret.

* Alexia's final fate in ''Fanfic/TheReturn'', devoured by Darkstar.

* In one of the side-stories of ''Fanfic/DanseMacabre'', a Lethifold eats [[spoiler: Peter Pettigrew]].
* The main antagonist of ''Fanfic/LovedAndLost'', Jewelius, is finished off this way by the Changelings [[spoiler:he used and double-crossed to steal Equestria's throne]]. Normally the Changelings [[EmotionEater feed on love]], but Queen Chrysalis decides that since the heart of [[TheSociopath Jewelius]] holds no love, everything else will have to do.
* Andraya, one of the two main villains of ''[[Fanfic/TheHeartTrilogy Heart of Ashes]]'', is {{swallowed whole}} by [[VillainProtagonist Smaug]] after the witch crosses the dragon one too many times. As soon as Andraya is sucked into Smaug's stomach, she's [[CruelAndUnusualDeath incinerated by his natural fire]].

* ''Franchise/{{Shrek}}'' movies:
** In [[WesternAnimation/Shrek1 the first film]], Lord Farquaad gets [[SwallowedWhole eaten]] by Dragon.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'' film ''Asterix Conquers America,'' secondary antagonist [[FatBastard Lucullus]] is SwallowedWhole offscreen by a black panther that somehow got loose in the shenanigans that end the movie. Caesar, [[KnowWhenToFoldEm being more pragmatic]] and [[LeanAndMean considerably less obese]], is faster on his feet and wisely makes a subdued but hasty exit amid all the commotion.

* Subverted in Disney's ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'': Captain Hook falls into the crocodile's mouth and gets swallowed, but (unlike in the original play) runs out relatively unharmed, and is last seen [[ExitPursuedByABear swimming away from the predator who's trying to eat him a second time]].

* ''Film/Meg2TheTrench'': [[spoiler: Jess and Monte both turn out to be villains and both meet their respective demise in the jaws of a Meg. Jess betrayed her team and displayed no remorse over the ensuing deaths, and in a smug display of TemptingFate, she declares the underwater rig chamber she's in to be completely Meg-Proof. One breaks through behind her and she is SwallowedWhole. Monte winds up punched into the mouth of the Meg by Jonas during their fight, and gets crunched up instead. It's hard to say who got it worse, but both deaths were very well-deserved.]]

* Famously done in the ''[[Literature/TheSilenceOfTheLambs Silence Of The Lambs]]'' books. If they are a Bad, it is a good bet that Hannibal Lecter will eat them.

* In ''Sideways Stories from Literature/WaysideSchool'', Mrs. Gorf is tricked into turning herself into an apple. Louis finds the apple and eats it.

In ''Literature/TheGloveOfDarthVader'', he seeks revenge on Han and Leia for his son's death, but his plan to deal Leia a KarmicDeath by throwing her to the sarlacc ends with him humiliated, not only because ''he'' is thrown into it by Trioculus (a would-be successor to Palpatine with a weird crush on Leia -- long story), but the beast vomits him out, clearly getting sick trying to eat him. (This is the first of many embarrassments for Zorba, who is clearly [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain a sorry excuse for a Hutt]].)
** Played straight with Feltipern Trevagg, who is introduced cheating a widow with children out of her home, and proceeds to seduce a space bimbo [[spoiler:not realizing that among her people the bride traditionally eats the groom's insides on the wedding night]].
* In ''Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'', the Oompa-Loompas claim that this will be the gluttonous Augustus Gloop's fate, as the pipe he's stuck in leads to a room where fudge is prepared.

It's strongly implied that he ''will'' become a tasty treat in [[Theatre/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory the 2013 stage musical]]!

* In Michael Crichton's sequel to ''Literature/JurassicPark'', ''[[Literature/TheLostWorld1995 The Lost World]]'', BigBad Lewis Dodgson gets devoured by a bunch of baby ''T. rexes'' after an adult drops him into the nest and breaks his leg so that he can't escape. It's especially [[KarmicDeath karmic]], since [[spoiler:not only did he antagonize the group in this book, but he also helped cause the events of the first novel]].

After the supposed death of Franchise/SherlockHolmes, a member of Moriarty's criminal organization tries to dispose of Dr. Watson as well, by locking him in a cage with a 'Brazilian cat' (presumably a black panther) that he's raised as a pet. Watson is able to survive--albeit at the cost of a nasty leg wound--by ducking into the panther's holding cage. The owner sees this and goes to open the cage. However the panther had never tasted human blood before until it injured Watson; having taken a liking to it, the panther goes straight for its owner instead.

* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': In season 6 [[spoiler:Ramsay Bolton]] is eaten alive by his own hounds after spending many seasons engaging in torture, warfare, and rape. This is [[HoistByHisOwnPetard especially karmic]] because he had trained his hounds to eat various people he [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame hunted down]] or otherwise wanted to dispose of, and even more so due to [[spoiler:him starving the hounds in preparation for eating Jon Snow and the others on the Stark side following the Battle of the Bastards, meaning that they're too hungry to recognize their master when Sansa Stark, his final victim, has him thrown into the kennels with them]].

* In ''VideoGame/OverlordII'', the villain's dragon, Marius, is praising his boss after a OneWingedAngel turns him into an all-devouring EldritchAbomination, his praise is interrupted by the devourer eating him.

* This happens ''a lot'' in both ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Prototype 2}}'', most notably to [[spoiler: Alex Mercer]] in the sequel. Suffice to say, in both games only six bad guys ''escaped'' this fate: [[spoiler: Dr. [=McMullen=] by suicide, Supreme Hunter by decapitation, three scientists by helicopter crash and Col. Rooks by being more [[PunchClockVillain pragmatical than evil]] and thus ''surviving''.]]
* In ''VideoGame/{{Drakensang}} 2: The River of Time'', the corrupted commander Stitus Bloomfold (who often fed his prisoners to wild animals of sorts) tries to feed the party to his pet Newt Kraken, but when the monster is defeated and starts waving his tentacles in pain, he loses balance and fall in the kraken's open maws.

When the family's only daughter, Okoi, shows up seeking advice and shelter, Wakamiya decides to make her his concubine. Unfortunately for him, "Okoi" is actually Miike, the now-deceased real Okoi's pet cat who became a nekomata to avenge her, and just as Wakamiya is undressing her, "Okoi" transforms into a monstrous two-tailed cat monster and eats him.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' episode "Transformation", an alien predator called a Cironeilian Chrysalis Eater lures Starfire to a secluded grove so it can devour her once her cocoon (part of the Transformation process she is undergoing) is complete, [[EvilGloating cruelly mocking her]] as it happens. When the other Titans intervene, Starfire completes the process and emerges, then blasts the creature outside the grove, where it becomes prey to a ManEatingPlant she encountered earlier.
* At the end of WesternAnimation/WallaceAndGromit's ''WesternAnimation/AMatterOfLoafAndDeath'', SerialKiller Piella Bakewell tries to escape in a hot air balloon.

[[GoryDiscretionShot You can guess what happens next]].
* ''WesternAnimation/DangerMouse'': At the end of "Statues," Baron Greenback comes to what sounds like his demise as the statue of chef Monsieur Smaquing Lipps has designs on making frog's legs out of him (The Baron would obviously return in ensuing episodes thanks to JokerImmunity.)

-> '''Eda''': Oh no, Tibbles, that's not how entertainment works. The bad guy always gets their just desserts.\\

'''Tibbles''': Oh no, not desserts!

* In ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged,'' Guru is EatenAlive by the Namekians after he reveals he was the cause of the Great Drought (how else would someone who lives solely on water become [[FatBastard morbidly obese?]]), which he then [[FinalSolution blamed on the Albino Namekians and sentenced them all to death.]]

[[folder:Films -- Animation]]

[[folder:Theater]]
* The opera ''Theatre/HanselAndGretel1893'' adds a new element to the familiar tale by the Brothers Grimm: The witch owns a magical oven which bakes children into gingerbread.

At the very end of the cartoon, we see the lion alone with a content look; just as The Narrator thinks Egghead finally learned his lesson and went home, the lion shakes it's head, opens it's mouth and we see [[ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes a pair of eyes in the darkness]] of down it's throat.
