History Main / StomachOfHolding

* Benedict the [[BirdPeople hawk man]] from ''VideoGame/{{Battleborn]]'' has a stomach of holding. Best shown in his "Regurgirocket" taunt wherein he regurgitates a rocket. He pretty much stores his rockets in his gut only to puke them back out later when he needs a reload, kinda like the manner of how real life birds would store food in their guts only to puke it all out later to feed their young. Supporting this is the fact that there's nothing in his attire to suggest anywhere else he could possibly carry his rocket reserves.

* Rico from ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar''. As well as 'small' things like lit dynamite, bombs, bowling pins, and a running chainsaw, it is also revealed that he has an elevator and a spiral staircase for getting to the bottom. His stomach can safely hold Mort too. He once choked up an ground-to-air missile and launching platform.

* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy:'' Mayor Adam West keeps everything he needs in case he is ever held hostage in his stomach, such as an inflatable raft for escape purposes and a magazine for him to read in case his escape fails. He also has Stratego in case anyone wants to play.

* The DonaldDuck cartoon "Trick or Treat" has Donald swallowing a key leading to his treats. Unfortunately for him, the person he vexed was a witch. Naturaly, she uses magic to force his body to kick it out. HilarityEnsues.

* In the novel ''[[KnownSpace DestroyerOfWorlds]]'', when a Pak is taken prisoner, it hides one of its devices from a search by swallowing the device. When it retrieves the device later, the device's surface is pitted and slightly damaged from the stomach acids. However, the device functions. Nonetheless, the Pak believes it will not survive another trip through its stomach.

* ''DungeonsAndDragons'': Second Edition Dark Nagas can swallow objects to spit out later, using a bag-like internal organ to carry things. The organ has thick, rubbery walls that protect the naga against pointed and sharp objects, protect the cargo against digestive juices and prevent magic items in the cargo from being detected.

* ''TheWorldOfDarkness: Inferno'' has this as a Gluttony Vestment for the Possessed, as a side use of a SwallowedWhole power.

There's another power that allows them to regurgitate the item completely undamaged; said power's main use is acid vomit.
