* Some monsters in {{Nethack}} will do this to you, though [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything they'll spit you back out if you're wearing a Ring of Slow Digestion]]. You can cut yourself free or break out with a Wand of Digging, which leaves the monster with just 1 Hit Point left - meaning that against some monsters, like the Arch-demon Juiblex, getting swallowed whole is the ''easiest'' way to defeat them!

An extreme version of the BigEater, usually a monster of some type, eats the hero or some other innocent bystander. But they don't ''chew'', and their stomach happens to big and spacious, full of oxygen, devoid of acidic gastric juices, and in some cases actually well lit. Our hero is fine, he just happens to be inside the monster for awhile. In erotica, it's often called vore.

[[LeeroyJenkins He then charges into battle with a dragon,]] which promptly swallows the truck whole.

It doesn't survive of course, but Peter's first question upon learning that the turtle is out of Fudge's system is if it's alive or dead, as he'd [[RealityIsUnrealistic hoped this trope might apply]].

* In a variant from ''The Bones Of Haven'', a giant spider encountered in the sewers lands on Hawk when it's killed. While it didn't actually swallow him, he punches a hole in its descending abdomen with his ax, ends up inside its (mostly hollow) belly, then spends the next couple of minutes hacking his way out.

At this point, one of two things happens. Either the monster is slashed open from the inside or the outside, and the hero escapes unharmed (and usually quite clean), or else he does something [[DodongoDislikesSmoke to cause the monster indigestion]], [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth and get vomited back out]]. For bonus humor, they may not even be aware they were inside the monster's gut until they provoke this dyspesia.
