* Ginary has many examples of this in many of her web videos. In “The Meg,” Megan Jones swallowed Kitty Quinn and Anastasia Rose whole whole swimming in a pool. In another episode, Amanda Bryant ravenously devours Nikki Brooks whole after eating her date.

* Music/{{Lit}}: At the end of the music video for "Music/{{Miserable}}", the bend members are picked off one-by-one by a giant [[GiantWoman Pamela Anderson]] who devours them alive. For the most part, outside of toying with them a bit, she simply swallows them in a single gulp while they beg for mercy. The only one who doesn't get this treatment is poor Jeremy. Instead, after slurping him up, [[CruelAndUnusualDeath she chews him]] a bit before [[SpitOutAShoe spitting out]] one of his [[IconicItem signature shoes.]]

* The Czech band Lucy has a song called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcnySvBW_X8 "Panic"]] that ends with the lead singer getting engaged to a [[MsFanservice very attractive]] [[GiantWoman blonde giantess]] in a [[LadyInRed red minidress and high heels]] that has been playing musical accompaniment throughout most of the music video. She then immediately decides to eat him alive. After swallowing him [[SpitOutAShoe she pulls his guitar out of her mouth]] and [[{{Gasshole}} lets out a loud burp in a very un-lady like fashion.]] Of course, as the video includes several prolonged shots of women gnawing ravenously at raw meat bones, and the giantess handing a huge chunk of raw meat to one woman who promptly begins devouring it, this surprise cannibalism doesn't come completely out of left field. Just ''mostly''.

** Another Navajo story, [[Literature/CoyoteStories 'Coyote and Horned Toad']], relates the story of Coyote angrily devouring Horned Toad, and promptly being punished for it. Horned Toad stomps about inside him and threatens his organs, forcing Coyote to cough him up.

** In amphibians, several species of frogs and toads (even salamanders) eat their prey whole. But the best example among them is the ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceratophrys Ceratophrys]]'' genus of horned frogs, which thanks to their large mouths can swallow any prey even if it's virtually impossible for the frog to ingest it. Among the menu are insects, snakes, fishes, mice, and even other frogs.

* The Music/TheChemicalBrothers song "Come with Us/The Test" features Weston being approached by a curious blue whale, which she then swims into the open mouth of.

* ''Fanfic/KingdomHeartsTheAntipode'': ** While Riku was unable to save Prankster's Paradise, Monstro survived and in ''The Year Between'', swallows the Gummi Ship and Riku, Kairi, Donald, and Goofy as he did in the original ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI'', leading to a WombLevel identical to the original game.

* ''VideoGame/Bayonetta2'' has an EliteMook called a Resentment that can do this to the heroine after turning her into a child, inflicting a OneHitKill. Also, Bayonetta's summoned demon Baal does this when used as a Torture Attack (which, ironically, is used on Resentments) or a Climax Attack. Plot-wise, it happens to her before the BossBattle with Insidious, leading to a WombLevel.

* ''WesternAnimation/CatDog'' had this several times. One time, Cat swallows Winslow to send him down their shared stomach to give a message to Dog after he ran away from home (ItMakesSenseInCOntext). Another, an alligator that they were using to keep thiefs of their golden hydrant away swallows them and the thieves at the end of the episode.

** The first issue of ''Harley Quinn and Power Girl'' features Sleezox owning a pet Hydra, which swallows Power Girl. She immediately erupts her way out from the monster's throat, decapitating the head which landed on Sleezox.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'' the Hydra swallows Hercules whole, and he decapitates it from the inside. [[HydraProblem Unfortunately...]]

* ''WesternAnimation/HerculesTheAnimatedSeries'': There are several instances where monsters swallow someone (mainly teenage Hercules) whole.

* Kaz the Jester in ''Webcomic/WorkSucks'' is a collector of monsters, so this happens fairly often. He’s invented several methods to get out of those situations,one of which being a pill called [[IncrediblyLamePun "Pukitol”]]

* ''VideoGame/LegendOfMana'' being the only game where they don't suffer from an immobilizing BalloonBelly as a result of swallowing someone that's generally twice as big as them.

* ''VideoGame/WorldOfMana'': This is the trademark attack of Pakkun Lizards. It tends to make them more of an annoyance then an actual threat, as they usually can't do anything until they spit out their victim,

* ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'': Heartful Punch is very nearly swallowed whole by a monster in Chapter 8. [[spoiler:It's only thanks to Undine's last-second HeriocSecondWind that she makes it out alive.]]

* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': In ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderMan1999'' #6, the first time Peter Parker meets Mattie Franklin, the third ComicBook/SpiderWoman, they both arrive to fight one of the Mole Man's giant monsters, who swallows Mattie when she's distracted -- only for her, to Spidey's shock, to start beating the monster up ''from the inside'' until it coughs her up.

* ''Franchise/SpiderMan'': The first time Peter Parker meets Mattie Franklin, the third ComicBook/SpiderWoman, they both arrive to fight one of the Mole Man's giant monsters, who swallows Mattie when she's distracted -- only for her, to Spidey's shock, to start beating the monster up ''from the inside'' until it coughs her up.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Cracke}}'' has Ed often eaten this way, especially by the crocodile. He always manages to escape, such as in "Upset Stomach" where he uses his bad gas to make it spit him up.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAntAndTheAardvark'': On some rare occasions, Charlie Ant would be swallowed up by the Aardvark, but he would either escape or be rescued like a DistressedDude. "From Bed to Worse" is a case in point, in which Aardvark is x-rayed after he is discovered to have swallowed Charlie, in which the x-ray pic shows the latter jumping inside him, acting all like, "Help me! Get me out of here!"
