* Koumori, the first of the Maniwa Ninja from ''LightNovel/{{Katanagatari}}'', seemed to specialize in this.
* In ''Anime/CowboyBebop'', Spike does this. He swallows a cigarette when told there's no smoking in that area, then burps it up later. He repeats the process with a poker chip in the same episode.

* Rimuru Tempest of ''LightNovel/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime'' has this as part of his [[TheAssimilator Predator]] skill, where he can store items he devours and keep indefinitely, if he doesn't want to [[MatterReplicator reconstruct]] them.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheBadGuys'': Mr. Snake carries stuff in his stomach since he, you know, doesn't have hands. In the opening he regurgitates an alarm clock to check the time.

* In ''Film/{{The Incredible Hulk|2008}}'', Bruce swallows a USB drive just before one of General Ross's attacks makes him HulkOut. Later, after he's reverted to normal, we hear him in the bathroom of the motel [[VomitDiscretionShot "retrieving" the device]], shall we say.

* In ''Film/{{Captain Marvel|2019}}'', the [[KillerRabbit adorable kitty]] Goose is actually a [[TheDogIsAnAlien Flerken]], an alien species not too far removed from an EldritchAbomination when they open their mouth. She's also sturdy enough to cat-handle [[spoiler:the Tesseract]] without any ill effects, so when the need arises to carry it safely, she just eats it. [[spoiler:And then coughs it back up like a particularly shiny hairball]].

* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'': Ed's apparently works like a storage facility or refrigerator sometimes.

* In the Hungarian folktale "The Little Rooster and the Turkish Sultan", the rooster has a magic stomach like this, which he uses to great effect: he can swallow and regurgitate everything from a well's entire water supply to '''''a swarm of hornets'''''. And since this is a children's tale, he does the latter without killing the insects; instead, he uses them as a ''GroinAttack BreathWeapon'' against the Sultan - no, we're not making this up!

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Centaurworld}}'': Glendale the gerenuk-taur can store things in her belly with her "Tummy Portal" spell, even [[Hammerspace really big ones]] like people or furniture. It comes in handy, given what a [[StickyFingers kleptomaniac]] she is.

** SCP-2094 is a man with the ability to swallow just about anything, from props to people, and regurgitate it without any apparent harm. He used to be a clown in [[CircusOfFear Herman Fuller's Circus of the Disquieting]].

* Rimuru Tempest of ''LightNovel/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime'' has this as part of his [[TheAssimilator Predator]] skill, where he can store items he creates from that which he devours or safely store the things he devours without issue.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Rayman 2}}'', Globox and his children store useful items for Rayman inside their body.

* In ''Manga/DragonBall'', King Piccolo swallows his dragon balls to prevent them from being stolen. His reincarnation Piccolo Junior does the same for the small jar he traps Kami in.
