12	!!Thin Characters
13	* ''VideoGame/NinetyNineSpirits'' has Saki, a tiny, [[{{Moe}} cute]], [[GenkiGirl hyperactive girl]] who works as the poster-girl at the local WeSellEverything shop -- being apparently paid entirely in food, which tends to evaporate around her. However, she's actually a Weasel-spirit in human form, which might explain some of it. Her siblings -- [[TalkingAnimal talking weasels]] who lack the spiritual power to change shape -- are just as bad, and appear capable of putting away ludicrous amounts of food considering their tiny bodies.
14	* ''VideoGame/AceCombat7SkiesUnknown'' has the character known as "AWACS Long Caster". On several missions, he makes food-related metaphors, in addition to his official description stating that he brings food onboard his AWACS plane to eat while he fulfills the role of MissionControl for Cyclops and Strider squadrons. Even [[EstablishingCharacterMoment his first line in gameplay]] mentions food:
15	-->'''AWACS Long Caster:''' Sorry, but I'm gonna eat while I work. My judgement goes fuzzy when I'm too hungry.
16	* It is implied in the ''VideoGame/{{ARMS}}'' Grand Prix profile that [[StockShonenHero Spring Man]] can eat 12 pies of pizzas in one sitting.
17	* ''VideoGame/AshinaTheRedWitch'' has Tanto, who likes to eat ''a lot'', much to everyone's annoyonce since he's known to not pay for it. At one point he eats thirteen bowls of soup while you're exploring the Red Witch's house. [[spoiler:It becomes less funny when you learn that he eats so much because he died of starvation]].
18	%%* Dante Robinson from ''VideoGame/BackyardSports''.
19	* After Gulcasa's demon blood is unsealed in ''VideoGame/BlazeUnion'', he goes from having a normal appetite for a teenage boy to going after everything edible. In hindsight, the use of this trope is actually rather depressing, as Gulcasa desperately needs the energy due to [[BlessedWithSuck the general instability of his body]] and his flagrant abuse of his DangerousForbiddenTechnique. When having Gulcasa use edible items in-game, though, it just comes off as silly and cute -- especially given what kinds of food make him go "[[IAteWhat Oh god, why did I just eat that?]]" and the way he ''still'' [[PickyEater won't touch dairy with a ten-foot pole]].
20	* ''Franchise/BlazBlue'':
21	** [[CatGirl Taokaka]]. She actually carries a HammerSpace plate around in case food becomes available, her response to anything she doesn't know about is IsItSomethingYouEat, and offering/buying her food instantly gains you a place on her "good person" list; this is she met [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Ragna]] [[SirSwearsALot the]] [[OneManArmy Bloodedge]]. She also borders on ExtremeOmnivore, attempting to actually eat ''Bang and Ragna''.
22	** [[LittleBitBeastly Makoto]] [[MsFanservice Nanaya]] is heavily implied, if not outright stated, to be this. Her introduction in ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' is at [[HospitalHottie Litchi's]] clinic, having injured herself by falling out of a tree she was climbing for exercise and fun (yeah, she's like that) after eating several platefuls at an all-you-can-eat buffet with her friends Noel and Tsubaki. She's often shown [[SweetTooth eating snacks and sweets]], and one of her win quotes is:
23	---> Yawn "Now, I'm hungry..."
24	*** In ''Slight Hope'', if Makoto loses to Hazama, he tells her to, in exact words, "[[FantasticRacism go on an acorn bender, or WHATEVER it is you beastkin do]]".
25	*** In ''VideoGame/BlazBlueCrossTagBattle'', she celebrates victory with fellow ActionGirl [[VideoGame/Persona4Arena Chie]] by joining her on a "carnivorous walking tour".
26	** That brings us to [[MagicalGirl Platinum the Trinity]], whose intro to the story involves her eating several dish stacks' worth of food like a total glutton -- she even does this in Arcade mode, too! Truly, [[DeadpanSnarker Ragna]] is cursed -- Platinum was the second to dine-and-dash on him, the first being Taokaka. A gag reel from ''Chronophantasma Extend'' has Luna offer to take Tao to mooch off of Ragna after both are rejected from Amane's troupe.
27	* In ''VideoGame/BloodstainedRitualOfTheNight'', all the best curative items are delicious food and Miriam gets ''permanent'' stat buffs every single time she eats a new dish, so she spends more time stuffing her face than she does training to fight. Even ''then'' one sidequest involves you bringing food to an ailing old lady... and Miriam quietly complains that the old lady didn't save her any with every dish you bring her.
28	* Despite his slender figure, Leif from ''VideoGame/BugFables'' can eat a lot and frequently talks about food. He actually uses this to win the eating contest in the Golden Settlement.
29	* It's standard for Franchise/{{Castlevania}} heroes to regain health by eating whole turkeys, pot roasts, etc, but ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia'' takes the practice up a notch by actually making it into a subplot. Shanoa can buy food from the town chef, Aeon, whose cooking is [[LethalChef so awful]] that nobody else will go near it. It would seem like Aeon's kitchen is doomed, but Shanoa eats so much that she's able to single-handedly keep him in business while she's around. One of the dishes he can serve her is a grilled fish about the size of a small car, and at high levels it can take three or four of those in a row to fill Shanoa's health bar all the way.
30	* Crono from ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' can apparently drink around 13 bowls of prehistoric soup bigger that his head in 30 seconds. With [[MadeOfIron no repercussions]]!
31	** Possibly even funnier in the original Japanese/DS retranslation, where that "soup" is ''booze''.
32	** Also recall, this was a ''drinking contest'' against Ayla, so she's in here, too, though in her case her appetite probably feeds [[StrongerThanTheyLook her prodigious strength]].
33	* ''VideoGame/CookingDiary'': Hungry Customers, who have more than three orders before they leave. Finishing the first set of dishes instantly springs a second order, while also restoring some patience.
34	* Papa from ''VideoGame/CookingMama''. A salary man with an average build, his main characteristic is he loves eating good food. This is more of a plot point in the apps, however.
35	* Jones in ''VideoGame/CriminalCase'' seems borderline obsessed with food, especially things like hot dogs and cookies. Other characters {{lampshade}} this with comments such as "do you ever think of anything other than eating?"
36	* ''VideoGame/DigimonStoryCyberSleuth'':
37	** Yuuko Kamishiro is shamelessly one. Once she gets talking about food, hardly anything can stop her. She considers going hungry something that shouldn't happen.
38	** Humorously exploited by Arata Sanada on [[spoiler:[=WarGreymon=] and [=MetalGarurumon=] to stop them from getting closer to Under Zero. He brings out a piece of "legendary meat" and boasts that only celebrities get to eat it to tempt them, so he tosses the meat away and both Mega Digimon run off to eat it, much to Nokia's dismay. The kicker is the epithet for both Digimon changes to "Starving Beast Digimon" during the scene. Sadly for Arata, it only delays Nokia's arrival a bit and becomes a MoodWhiplash when she bombs a serious conversation.]]
39	*** [[spoiler:When Digimon manage to come to Tokyo, Nokia's Digimon go back to their Rookie forms and demand to eat food around to learn about human food. Much to Nokia's dismay (and wallet), they eat too much.]]
40	* Killia of ''VideoGame/Disgaea5AllianceOfVengeance'' is known to eat before a battle, occasionally delving into FoodPorn where he describes the meals in question. [[spoiler:It helps distract him from his personal doubts and keeps his repressed inner hatred at bay, but it's only a stopgap, as Chapter 12 sees him eating ever-increasing portions, up to and including '''whole dragons'''.]]
41	* In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'', a conversation with Alistair reveals that most Grey Wardens eat like it's going out of style. Since you [[InformedFlaw never see your character eat]]...
42	* In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'', Sera once ate a positively huge meal, much to her dining partner Blackwall's astonishment. He has no idea where it all goes. In another conversation, Sera explains that she eats like this because she knows what it's like to be truly hungry thanks to growing up in poverty.
43	* Android 21 from ''VideoGame/DragonballFighterz'' constantly has a desire to eat as many treats as she wants to. On one hand, [[spoiler: it's treated as a HorrorHunger as [[EnemyWithout her evil side]] created clones of several characters, and resurrected several villains with the intent of [[ImAHumanitarian devouring them all]].]] But on a much lighter note, [[spoiler: 21's good half]] likes eating sweets without having to resort to eating people. She even mentions how Bulma let her try string cheese for the first time, and ended up eating at least a hundred of them because she loved the taste.
44	* Tiki the Fairy from ''VideoGame/DragonsCrown'' is at least implied to be this; though a petite, slender fairy girl who is small enough to fit into a standard-sized tavern goblet, she's implied to have single-handedly devoured the enough-for-a-party-of-six spread of food at the player characters' table.
45	** The playable characters are definitely this, if the campfire minigame is any indication: with the possible exception of the stout Dwarf, most of the characters have either slim or muscular builds and can snarf down incredible amounts Sauteed Demon's Heart, Killer Rabbit Stew, and Red Dragon Steaks. The Fighter even proudly declares, "I'm gonna have '''''nineths'''''!"
46	* Fang from ''VideoGame/FairyFencerF''. The very first scene you see upon hitting "New Game", after the obligatory backstory about the battle between the Goddess and Vile God, is him being rescued from jail after he stole food. And even then, it takes Eryn a lot of convincing to get him out, because Fang doesn't mind staying in jail forever if it means getting free food and rest. Then, when he does escape and is told to use magic to attack the guards, he instead tries to magically conjure up some food. And when he is told to [[SuperMode Fairize]], he instead yells "Fairi''c''e" and thinks that it's a kind of fried rice. The entire reason he pulled out the Fury containing Eryn, starting the plot of the game, is because he thought it would let him wish for some food.
47	* In ''[[VisualNovel/FantasiaOtomeGameSeries Fantasia -- Momento of Grand Finale]]'', Nero is a carnivore who eats a lot (mostly inedible). It is even played for laughs most of the time and he claims it to be his magical ability as a half-elf to have an iron stomach.
48	* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
49	** Sabin from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI''. He isn't even afraid to stop and eat a several-course meal of ghost food on the Phantom Train, knowing full well that he is being prematurely taken to the other side.
50	** Prishe from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI'' frequently uses food items to boost her stats during battle, and will ask her teammates for food items if she's one of your opponents in the "Heroine's Combat" event. In addition, she has a whole list of secret food-related quotes in the ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' prequel. Apparently, being a CuteBruiser burns up calories like whoa.
51	* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'':
52	** The Cavalier Lowen, Marcus' right hand in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade''. A JustifiedTrope because he's actually the [[TeamChef cook of the party]] (mentioned in his supports), and he was raised by his father and grandfather, both former cooks for the Pherae royalty.
53	** The ActionGirl Vanessa in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones'', too. Her older sister Syrene mentions it in one of their supports.
54	-->'''Syrene:''' You know I can tell when you're lying. Plus, you not eating is a dead giveaway. I mean, when's the last time you said no to a cookie? It's not a criticism. One of your most charming qualities is how you can outeat anyone. It's because of someone special, isn't it?
55	** There's also the [[ShockAndAwe thunder]] [[MagicalGirlWarrior mage]] Ilyana from the Tellius saga. To start, every support conversation she has involves her being hungry. In her first introduction in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance'', the hero assumes she's just ill, but she joins your party in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn'' at first to avenge her stomach for being fed scraps that could never satisfy her. Also, other characters accuse her of using her [[{{Moe}} really cute looks]] to get free food.\
56	Taking this trope to the extreme, Ilyana even complains that she's dying with an empty stomach when she is ''killed in battle'' (in a game where non-plot critical characters such as herself die for real). One popular [[EpilepticTrees fan theory]] is that she has a tapeworm. Her character-specific ending in ''Radiant Dawn'' states that "somewhere, she is hungry."\
57	Even more so, one of her support conversations has her so hungry that [[ExtremeOmnivore she starts chomping on Mia's boots]], much to poor Mia's horror.
58	** Ike himself is no slouch in the eating department, having an appetite that's said to rival that of any beast laguz. Especially when it comes to meat.
59	** Stahl in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' is described as "the biggest glutton in the army", and is perpetually hungry. In the "Golden Gaffe" DLC, he tells the first Risen he meets that he was saving gold for a large meal. He says that his dream is to go WalkingTheEarth... and taste all the local dishes he can find. (And if he marries Cherche, he is said to have put on weight after eating all her excellent cooking.)
60	*** Panne is said to be "the one who wolfs down any food faster in the army" and the aforementioned Stahl can gain her affections [[ThroughHisStomach via cooking for her.]] It's kind of a JustifiedTrope: she's a member of the Taguel race, and her powers involve shapeshifting into a LARGE fighting bunny with a very physical fighting style.
61	*** Nah is said to be one of these too, likely because she's a HalfHumanHybrid ''and'' a growing teenager on top of that.
62	** Effie from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' might top everyone here. She's the one who "has most second helpings" according to her profile, mentions food in almost every single support chain, a RunningGag has her taking someone else's food, etc. A sketch by the game's character designer has her happily eating ''mountains'' of plates, to both the frustration of her partner Arthur and the '''horror''' of the cooks around them.
63	*** Princess Sakura has, in her own words, next to no self-control when it comes to eating, specially [[SweetTooth sweets]]. In her supports with Hayato, she eats ''many'' dango sticks almost per reflex, and is reluctant to participate in the ''Beach Brawl'' battles until she learns that the prize includes a vacation to an island with '''lots''' of delicious fruits.
64	** Several characters from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' have this trait:
65	*** [[PlayerCharacter Byleth]] is noted as being capable of packing away a ton of food during academy phase celebrations. They can also share a meal multiple times during explore periods.
66	*** [[HotBlooded Caspar]] eats fast, to the concern of Linhardt and Ashe. Ashe also worries about Caspar's stomach bursting if he eats too much, to which the latter remarks that he has a "stomach of steel."
67	*** [[NotSoAboveItAll Ingrid]] tends to lose herself in the presence of delicious food. Her childhood friend Sylvain pokes fun at her during the academy phase should they share a meal, and during the war phase, remarks on doing on a gourmet journey after. Justified by her territory having suffered a famine (and being unsuited for agriculture) ''and'' being dedicated to her training.
68	*** [[TheBigGuy Raphael]] has this as one of his defining character traits. It's justified, as he trains just as much as the aforementioned Ingrid.
69	*** Implied to be the case with [[GuileHero Claude]], as his profile mentions he enjoys feasts.
70	* A creature that appears in ''VideoGame/{{Grow}}'' games is this, notably in ''Grow Cannon'', it can eat a fruit even bigger than itself.
71	* Sin from ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' is a growing young man (well, [[HalfHumanHybrid gear]]) and is either constantly thinking about food or eating food. In fact, in ''Xrd'', he needs to eat regularly as part of his ''game mechanic''.
72	* In ''VideoGame/IWasATeenageExocolonist'', Cal always yells out loud, "Foooood!" whenever you give him food as gifts.
73	* ''VideoGame/KanColle'': In general, any shipgirl more powerful than a cruiser will hoover up your resource stores like nothing else, but some emphasize it more than others.
74	** Akagi's appetite is a well-known meme amongst the playerbase. Her resource consumption is actually pretty average for a fleet carrier, but because Akagi is a quest reward, the player will probably get her before they're really ready to ''support'' a fleet carrier, making her appetite a significant logistics problem and very likely to stick in an Admiral's memory. Akagi's love of food has become an Ascended Meme in 4koma and the anime.
75	** Kaga doesn't play it up as much, but the anime does show that she eats about as much as Akagi.
76	** Of course, if you ''really'' want to see your resources disappear to a hungry shipgirl, try sortieing one of the Yamatos. They burn so much fuel that Yamato can outeat Akagi and still get hungry the minute she gets out of port.
77	* ''Franchise/TheKingOfFighters''/''VideoGame/FatalFury'':
78	** [[AnimeChineseGirl Li Xiangfei]]. ''Two'' of her endings show her getting her teammates and friends in trouble for her appetite and several of her winning quotes involve her mentioning food. Her family has a restaurant in South Town, yeah, but oh booooy...
79	** The psychic Sie Kensou is '''such''' a big eater that he actually uses eating niku-man dumplings ''as a special fighting technique'' that lets him recover health during battles... as long as he doesn't choke on them, that is.
80	** Maxima is this ''and'' has a massive SweetTooth. A JustifiedTrope since he ''must'' eat sweets constantly due to being a {{Technopath}} and a {{cyborg}} -- glucose is the fuel for the brains, and Maxima's still human brain must handle and process LOTS of data all the time.
81	** In the ''XIV'' game, the CanonImmigrant Muimui also loves pork buns. In fact, she and Kensou have a special intro in which they both discuss the merits of their respective worlds' buns, with Kensou even promising her that he'll take her to a place that serves some really good ones.
82	* In another Creator/BioWare one -- Zaalbar from ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic''. Mission snarks that he needs "eight squares a day." In his first in-game appearance, he is annoyed with having to back up Mission against a pair of Rodians because ''"Mission, they just brought my food!"'' And, when enslaved for maybe a day, became so hungry he ''bit a hunk out of one of his captor's arms.'' He is also the party member that approaches you when someone other than him is getting into the emergency rations. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that Zaalbar appears to be the Wookiee equivalent of a BIG teenaged boy.
83	* Pit in ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'' has a big appetite, which is lampshaded by Palutena and Viridi on multiple occasions, particularly in regard to his penchant for eating food right off of the floor. The anime short ''Palutena's Revolting Dinner'' also shows him having more of a taste for junk food than vegetables. This is all later referenced in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' during a few Palutena's Guidance taunts.
84	* In ''VideoGame/LaytonsMysteryJourneyKatrielleAndTheMillionairesConspiracy'', Katrielle Layton always gets herself lost thinking about delicious food and also likes to put it in such high priority whenever it may be involved in a case, much to the chagrin of Sherl. [[spoiler:It ends up being related to cases more than a few times, however.]]
85	* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', Zelda notes in her diary that one of the first things she learned about the very slender Link is that he has a huge appetite. Considering how often you'll find yourself [[HyperactiveMetabolism digging through your rations to heal yourself up]], she's not wrong.
86	* In ''VideoGame/LuckBeALandlord'', Mrs. Fruit will destroy most fruit objects (exempting more valuable ones), giving out more coins when rolled for each fruit she's destroyed.
87	* ''VideoGame/ManEatingPlant'' where you are, well, the titular ManEatingPlant. You spend the whole game gobbling up assorted targets, and in the later levels you're so huge that you're literally ''scooping'' dozens and dozens of goblins, blobs, and civilians with each chomp!
88	* In a third [=BioWare=] game, ''Franchise/MassEffect'', the [[AllThereInTheManual Codex]] reveals that people with biotic abilities (telekinesis) are big eaters since it takes so much energy to use their powers. In order to stay healthy, they need to take in almost three times as many calories as a normal person in their position, and they usually take special high-energy drinks or bars right after every battle in which they use their power.
89	* ''VideoGame/MegaManStarForce'':
90	** Sonia Strumm and Bud Bison, as noted by Geo Stelar, Luna Platz, and Zack Temple.
91	** Speaking of Luna, fail to grab her handkerchief in the third game (you have to choose between it, Sonia's fan-gift bag, and Bud's shirt) and watch her gorge on "comfort food". Sonia has the same reaction if you don't pick her handbag, and both will pig out if you save Bud's shirt.
92	** Also Netto/Lan from ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork''. On one occasion in the anime, he gorges on curry until he balloons up cartoonishly, though a couple scenes later he turns back to his usual skinny self.
93	** Bud encounters a little girl named Fay Phamish in ''2'' who is able to keep up with him in an eating contest. Given that Bud had a four-armed robotic hat stuffing burgers into his mouth throughout that competition, this is more impressive than it sounds.
94	* Naked Snake of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'' would probably qualify for this, as would EVA when you have to escort her. Polishing off two sets of rations (engineered to keep you going for at least a day) in a minute and walking away no less hungry than before? Yeah. The only thing he's interested in during [=ParaMedic's=] nature lessons, is whether he can eat the item in question. Add to that the Boss's comment at the beginning of the game about him having lost weight. Suggests his love of food is a little more than just necessary stamina recovery. In ''Portable Ops'', he complains about Sigint's idea to make eating unnecessary for soldiers, because eating is the highlight of his day.
95	* Interestingly done in ''VideoGame/MetalSlug''. Eat too much food and your soldier becomes fat ([[AnnouncerChatter Uh-oh, BIG!]]), which slows them down, but increases the power of their weapons. This trope was the reason why Nadia joined the team in ''Metal Slug 4'': so she could lose the weight and go into the modeling business. Also featured in the "Good" ending of ''Metal Slug 4'' as well.
96	* ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'':
97	** Your average PlayerCharacter can gobble down a comically oversized hunk of meat in about five seconds, and a full meal in roughly the same time. Then there are the armor abilities Speed Eating (Consume meat/healing items faster) and Double Hunger (Lose stamina quickly).
98	** ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter3Tri'' introduces the [[TheDreaded Deviljho]], who is known for wiping out all known local fauna within an area with its ravenous hunger.
99	** ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterRise'' in particular has Hinoa. While bunny dango are her TrademarkFavouriteFood, she'll eat anything put in front of her, sweet or spicy. In fact it's the main reason she elected not to qualify as a hunter despite completing her training, since she kept going through her rations too fast.
100	* In ''VideoGame/MyLittlePonyFriendshipGardens'', your pony can eat the entire stock of apples, cupcakes, pizza, and lollipops, forcing you to grow new ones.
101	%%(ZCE)* Neptune from ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}''.
102	* Tressa is implied to be one in ''VideoGame/OctopathTraveler''. In a tavern banter between her, H'aanit, and Alfyn, H'aanit comments that Tressa is eating a lot more than she expected for a girl [[PintsizedPowerhouse her size]].
103	* Ochette from ''VideoGame/OctopathTravelerII'' is almost always hungry, and she frequently mentions wanting to grab some food. Her frequent focus on jerky gets commented on several times, usually by Juvah and her animal companion, to the point that it comes across as her having SkewedPriorities.
104	* The [[TropeCodifier original two]] for video games, ''VideoGame/PacMan'' and ''Ms. Pac-Man''.
105	* ''VideoGame/{{Pikmin}}'':
106	** ''VideoGame/Pikmin2'': Louie has cooking instructions for his Piklopedia entries. It's also deconstructed as his eating habits [[spoiler:caused the plot of the second game, and he lied about how those carrots disappeared to save his butt]].
107	** ''VideoGame/Pikmin3'': A large part of Koppai's population eats too much, which leads to a worldwide famine. Several astronauts from the planet are entrusted the task to look for food on different planets. Three such captains (Alph, Britanny and Charlie) end up finding the Pikmin planet, where they find lots of fruit (as well as their seeds, so they can be harvested in Koppai).
108	* ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'':
109	** The main character of ''VideoGame/Persona3''. On one of the dates with Elizabeth, in which the two of them go to all of the strip mall's restaurants, she asks him afterwards if he was alright, as he had "eaten little after our seventh meal". In the Moon social link, the Gourmet King comments on how the main character can eat so much and still stay thin. The main character is also portrayed this way in the [[http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f71/Sil_Screenies/Persona3piece065p17.jpg manga]].
110	** The female main character in ''Persona 3 Portable'' also qualifies; as Junpei will point out during his Social Links, she orders just as much as he does and has no trouble with it.
111	** ''VideoGame/Persona4'': CuteBruiser Chie Satonaka has a voracious appetite, especially in [[Anime/Persona4TheAnimation the anime]], where she asks for ten beefsteaks ''plus'' a beef bowl.
112	** ''VideoGame/{{Persona Q\|ShadowOfTheLabyrinth}}'': [[MysteriousWaif Rei]] is almost always eating and/or talking about food, and has a seemingly unlimited appetite. Her particular favorite is corn dogs, which she can seemingly make [[{{Hammerspace}} appear out of nowhere]].
113	** ''VideoGame/Persona5'': The entire team is shown to have pretty big appetites; Ryuji and the protagonist regularly get into eating contests with each other, and Ann has a massive SweetTooth despite being a part-time model. Yusuke plays this differently since he often gets excited at the mere mention of food due to his previous guardian Madarame having literally kept him in a perpetual state of starvation.
114	*** In the UpdatedRerelease, Kasumi certainly counts. She is often shown to eat twice as much as Joker (no mean feat, given that this is the guy who can regularly eat burgers ''larger than his head''), who is given a few choices to comment on it. In Kasumi's case, her appetite is due to how demanding her gymnastics practice is.
115	* Alex Mercer from ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'' is one hungry [[ImAHumanitarian Humanitarian]], devouring people and other Infected monsters with equal abandon. Instead of becoming visibly fatter, his shapeshifting powers allow him to compress his mass down to normal human size, which is handy given that he's implied to weigh at least a ton.
116	* [[http://2008.pumkin.com/ This]] obscure children's educational game called "VideoGame/PumkinLand" ("pumpkin" is intentionally misspelled) featured a mini-game that is intended to teach children about different foods. The player plays as a diner worker and has to serve an anthropomorphic pumpkin who eats enough food to feed many people in one sitting. Not only does he eat a massive amount of food but he also eats condiments and cooking ingredients on their own (salt, pepper, jam, and butter) and if he orders a beverage or something that's served in a container, bowl, cup, or shaker; he will [[ExtremeOmnivore eat that with the food]]!
117	* In ''VideoGame/PunchOut'' on the Wii, Piston Hondo is shown eating several times his own weight in sushi as part of his Title Defense training.
118	* Albert of ''VideoGame/RevenantSaga'' normally requires about ten times the amount of food a man can eat, mainly due to him housing the soul of a demon in his body.
119	* Batsu Ichimonji and Hinata Wakaba from ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'' (though the latter does this only with [[TrademarkFavoriteFood cake]]).
120	%%* ''VideoGame/RecettearAnItemShopsTale'': Tielle, especially when it comes to sweets.
121	%%* Munchy Monk of ''VideoGame/RhythmHeaven'' would probably count as one.
122	* In ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'', [[ActionGirl Laura Matsuda]] likes to eat as much as Birdie, despite being thin as a rail. After beating him in story mode, both are seen chowing on barbecue with equal enthusiasm.
123	* Rosita Aries, the TokenMiniMoe in ''VideoGame/SakuraWarsSoLongMyLove''. The first thing she does when she joins the New York Combat Revue is demand food, threatening to eat her pet ferret if she doesn't get any soon. She actually has a FreudianExcuse for her obsession with food, since she once was ''extremely'' poor.
124	* Hilda's combat abilities in ''VideoGame/ShadowHeartsFromTheNewWorld'' actually justify her eating habits -- she casts from calories. And if her calories get high enough, she ends up both "curvy" (read: ridiculously round) and barely recognizable.
125	* ''VideoGame/ShadowsOfTheDamned'': [[spoiler:[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvFDk3G0A8Q George Reed's backstory]].]] Link may be NSFW.
126	* ''VideoGame/ShadowrunReturns Hong Kong'': Whenever you see Gobbet, she's eating. If she isn't eating, she's planning her next meal. Being a street kid turned Rat shaman, it makes sense that she wouldn't turn down food, but she will also lambast the PC for eating another character's food without permission, and her final RelationshipUpgrade involves her giving you a standing dinner invitation. Food is very clearly important to Gobbet. Oh, and Gobbet is an Ork, but still taller and lankier than most elves.
127	* Xiba from ''VideoGame/SoulCalibur'' loves food, with most of his lines revolving around it.
128	* The hidden collectibles for OneHundredPercentCompletion in ''VideoGame/SplosionMan'' are wedding-sized cakes, which the character proceeds to nom in a single cram (with a slice or two comically bouncing away). Given that he's a being of living fire, he's not going to worry about weight. He also tends to [[TalkativeLoon mention]] various types of meat while doing things. of course, given that slain characters in this game "bleed" meat...
129	* Yoh from ''VisualNovel/StarrySky'' has a very low tolerance of hunger, and is often vocal about it.
130	* Shionne from ''VideoGame/TalesOfArise''. Unusually for the trope, she actively dislikes rich and fancy foods. Her favourite dishes are things like wheat porridge and steamed potatoes that can be prepared in bulk and scarfed down quickly. As her Speedy Chef title puts it, all she cares about is a full stomach.
131	* Reid from ''VideoGame/TalesOfEternia'', who states outright several times that he is 'not interested in anything that doesn't fill his stomach', and who is constantly hungry and in search of things to eat. Furthermore, the sole ''reason'' he has become proficient in using a sword is so that he can hunt for food in the forests. In the crossover game ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheWorld: Radiant Mythology'', there occurs a memorable (and hilarious) scene involving Reid practically molesting Senel (from ''VideoGame/TalesOfLegendia'') over a basket of bread that Senel happens to be carrying.
132	* Many of the customers in ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'''s waitress MiniGame are Big Eaters -- they will often order dozens of dishes each.
133	* Yuyuko Saigyouji from the ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' series.
134	** Aside from constantly referencing food in the 8th game, if you take the translations literally, she ''actually eats a boss'' during the course of the game, merely complaining of a small bone afterward. Kindasorta justified in that she's a ghost. But only partially. The boss she "ate" made a full recovery in time for the 9th game.
135	** As of ''Ten Desires'', we now have Yoshika Miyako, whose ability is to "eat anything and everything".
136	* ''VideoGame/TrillionGodOfDestruction'': While most of the Overlords are able to pack away a fair amount of food, due to their training to kill the titular monster, Zeabolos' niece, Perpell, fits this best, what with being the Overlord of Gluttony and all. What keeps her away from the VillainousGlutton trope is that she's by far one of the nicest Overlords, even willing to share some of her snacks with others.
137	* Queen Memory in ''VideoGame/TwinkleStarSprites'', who is perpetually hungry and (in her ending scene) asks the wish-granting Twinkle Star for an enormous amount of food (plus sherbet for dessert). It's suggested her daughter Ran might be the same way.
138	* [[VideoGame/AkatsukiBlitzkampf Akatsuki]] becomes this in his GuestFighter part in ''VideoGame/UnderNightInBirth''. A JustifiedTrope since not only this game is LighterAndSofter compared with his original one, his hunger is kickstarted [[http://scraper-sky-high.tumblr.com/post/82124975140/akatsuki-is-a-very-serious-character after he uses his considerable powers]].
139	* Manpukumaru Chang of ''VideoGame/ValkyrieDriveBhikkhuni'' spends all of her waking time gorging herself full at the school's cafeteria and her life goal is to become a food reporter. She even manages to make this trope a part of her combat style by being able to eat meat buns in the middle of combat to recover health.
140	* Cecilia from ''VideoGame/WildARMs'' and Lilka from ''VideoGame/WildARMs2'' are both Big Eaters in the magic user category, although it's only used for a single gag in each game.
141	* A RunningGag in ''[[VideoGame/Yakuza2 Yakuza Kiwami 2]]'' involves burly protagonist Kiryu taking the petite hostess Kana out to dinner only to find out that she can out-eat him without breaking a sweat. While this is mostly PlayedForLaughs, Kana comments that she finds it difficult to go out to eat with people because she always racks up such a huge tab compared to her companions.
142	* Jin from ''VisualNovel/YoJinBo'' isn't ''shown'' to eat a lot on screen, but he's the only one to ever complain of being hungry, and when he does, the other guys groan as if that's all he ever talks about.
143	* ''VideoGame/YummyBreakfast'': Susan won't stop eating. Her hunger constantly lingers, and no matter what she eats, she doesn't get any less hungry, forcing her to eat more and more.
144
145	!!Fat Characters
146	* Implied with Youtia in ''VisualNovel/AseliaTheEternalTheSpiritOfEternitySword'', who forces Yuuto to make her lunch. He makes enough for at least four people figuring he can serve the rest to everyone else later, but she eats it all before being satisfied. Considering her personality, though, she might not have eaten in days.
147	* An unusual CoolBigSis example is Deis in ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireIV''. Admittedly, she had the perfectly valid excuse of [[spoiler: being imprisoned in a suit of armour named Ershin (that grew to have a mind of its own) for ''centuries'']]; the first thing she does when she ends up being hosted in the body of a summoner (after complaining about the summoner's figure) is pigging out until she passed out.
148	* The [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Eaters]] from ''VideoGame/ChimeraBeast'' are an evil HordeOfAlienLocusts that eat everything in sight while obtaining the abilities of those they eat. [[VillainProtagonist You play as one of them]], eating your way up the ecosystem, [[spoiler: and your Eater devours the whole ecosystem and moves off onto other planets including Earth should you beat the game.]]
149	* This is a gameplay mechanic for the player in ''VideoGame/CrushCrumbleAndChomp'' Failure to eat regularly makes the monster hungry; if the monster becomes ravenous, the player loses control and the computer takes over.
150	* Forrest Kaysen in ''VideoGame/{{D4}}''. He regularly eats enough food for five people. His culinary feats include eating five steaks on top of each other, five slices of pizza at once, several gallons of chowder, and a pint glass full of oysters and lemon juice.
151	* The Covetous Demon from ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsII'' WasOnceAMan who fell in love but was rejected, and expressed his despair through eating. Eventually, his gluttony transformed him into a ravenous monstrosity. During the fight, it is [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential possible]] to release [[{{Mooks}} Undead Laborers]] into the boss chamber, which will promptly cause the Demon to ignore the player in favor of devouring its next meal.
152	* Alistair from ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' notes that Wardens tend to become this, especially in the period shortly after their Joining.
153	* Rico in ''VideoGame/DuelSaviorDestiny'' has an apparently bottomless stomach and is capable of eating a pile of food larger than herself without any ill effect. [[spoiler:This makes somewhat more sense when you realize she's barely even a corporeal being let alone human.]]
154	* Given that the bosses in ''VideoGame/EvilTwinCypriensChronicles'' are [[EvilTwin dark reflections]] of the hero's friends, the fat kid Joey's counterpart Big Joe takes this trope to its extreme: an immobile, enormously fat creature with two mouths who rules over an island mostly made out of food which exists for no other reason than to feed its ruler. The good Joey is imprisoned in Big Joe's stomach.
155	%%(ZCE)* The eponymous VideoGame/FatPrincess.
156	* The Qus of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'' have huge appetites and a culture that revolves entirely around food. The playable Qu, Quina, even has the ability to eat monsters if they're sufficiently weakened, which is how [[AmbiguousGender s/he]] learns [[PowerCopying Blue Magic]]. (Though s/he will not eat humans or most bosses.) There is also a mini-game that involves Quina catching and eating frogs.
157	* Boron Brioche of ''VideoGame/FugaMelodiesOfSteel''. He talks about food and eating a lot, and is often stuffing his face during intermissions. He is more self-conscious about it than most examples, however, as shown by how one Link Event he has with Chick even focuses on how hard it can be for him to focus on anything but food, how he asks Hanna to help him with losing weight, and how he expresses to Malt and Mei that he feels like TheLoad as a result.
158	* Big Smoke in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas'' not only orders enough food for all four people in the car when the player takes CJ's friends to the drive-thru on a mission, but he actually manages to eat ''everyone's'' meals in the few minutes it takes to finish the car chase immediately after.
159	-->'''Big Smoke:''' I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.
160	* Kurumi Kasugaoka, from the sadly canceled Nintendo DS dating sim ''Hachikoi''. Her character page on the website even allows you to feed her!
161	* Coach is implied to be a big eater in ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'', but it's never shown since the zombie outbreak kind of ruined his chances of resting so he can eat something big. He likes eating a pizza sub-style, possibly having a sweet tooth since he says it's a damn shame the rainstorm in Hard Rain washed all the sugar away, and has a specific order for Burger Tank (BBQ bacon cheeseburger with fries, orange soda with no ice, and an apple pie). When the survivors see a wedding in the park during The Parish, Coach may sometimes ask if the others have seen a wedding cake around.
162	* ''VideoGame/LiveALive'': Hong in the ancient China chapter ate and ran from multiple restaurants to sate his appetite, and becomes an apprentice for master Shifu after getting caught. During dialogue he frequently asks if they are going to eat after their training.
163	* In ''VideoGame/{{Mongrelmen}}'', the [[TheBrute legendary mongrelman Cudge]] offers to protect your tribe, on one condition -- that he gets all your food stock for himself to gorge upon.
164	* Tubbs in ''VideoGame/NekoAtsume''. Whereas other cats will take a few bites from the food bowls and then play with one of the toys, the fluffy, chubby Tubbs will simply devour the entire bowl and then [[CatsAreLazy lounge next to it to digest their meal]].
165	* Manpuku in ''VideoGame/{{Okamiden}}''. He saves Chibiterasu (whom he nicknames [[EmbarrassingNickname Pork Chop]]) from being [[StewedAlive cooked in a huge pot of soup]]... ''by drinking the soup''. It's also [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]], his compulsive eating means his mother can't afford to feed his dog, so he gave him to a relative. There's rarely any food in his house because he eats it all, and his mother skips meals often.
166	* Misaki Kawana from ''ONE''. This is referenced in ''VideoGame/EternalFighterZero'' with her "High-Speed Lunch" super.
167	* In ''VideoGame/{{Paladins}}'', Moji's familiar, Po-Li, is a large two-headed lizard with an endless hunger for treats. While Moji will gladly [[EatingTheEnemy turn enemies into treats]] for Po-Li, she constantly has to keep them from eating everything in sight.
168	* Hanako from ''VideoGame/Persona4'', also a {{Gonk}} that believes she's gorgeous. When she's on a ''diet'', she eats a bucket of curry.
169	* ''VideoGame/PunchOut'':
170	** King Hippo. His intro in the Wii game shows him in a field full of ham and tropical fruit; over three cutaways, he eats ''everything'' there.
171	** Bear Hugger of the same series drinks gallon jugs of maple syrup at every meal. He's also fat enough that you can't hurt him by hitting his stomach.
172	--> ''I like raw fish.''
173	* Drang the ogre in ''VideoGame/PuzzleQuest'' has five missions where he asks you to procure rare, dangerous monsters for him to eat. One of them, a Wyvern, is requested so that it can kill a Troll he ate that's regenerating in his gut. The fourth one is [[ImAHumanitarian an ogre]], which disgusts your character. When you finish the last mission, Drang joins your party and takes bites out of any Animal-type enemy you face, causing them opening damage.
174	* Gan Isurugi from ''VideoGame/RivalSchools''. Justified as he's built almost like a Sumo fighter and his fighting style is heavily based on Sumo itself.
175	* ''VideoGame/RuneFactory'':
176	%%(ZCE)** Jasper.
177	** The de Sainte-Coquille family, who are almost universally large with appetites to match. Max of ''VideoGame/RuneFactory2'' is still slim, but when Barret makes a cameo in ''VideoGame/RuneFactory4'', he wonders if Max will one day resemble the rest of his family.
178	* In ''VideoGame/SlyCooper'' there's Murray who eats quite a bit even in meetings when Bentley plans a mission!
179	%%(ZCE)* ''Franchise/StreetFighter'':
180	%%(ZCE)** Rufus, the new, {{Acrofatic}} fighter from the USA in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV''.
181	* The ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'' version of [[ChainPain Birdie]] is made into this. Not only can he eat various foods to boost his V-Gauge as well as to toss out for certain attacks, but his win animation has him munch on two donuts before pulling a giant one out of nowhere.
182	* ''VideoGame/SushiCat'' revolves around the chubby cat protagonist eating a lot of sushi to get larger.
183	* The Gray Goo from ''VideoGame/TastyPlanet'', [[PlanetEater though you could probably tell from the title...]]
184	* The Heavy from ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2''. He sure does love those sand[[strike:w]]viches. He can even earn an achievement for eating 100 Sandviches, which he does with great gusto, one after another. His role demands this, though, as he lugs around Sasha, a 150-kilogram Gatling gun, and his basic melee option is GoodOldFisticuffs that deal just as much damage as a swing of an [[ShovelStrike entrenching tool]] or [[MacheteMayhem kukri]].
185	* Big Pete, a quest NPC from ''VideoGame/TerraTech'', does almost nothing but eat resource chunks. A strange case, since it's unclear whether Big Pete is a fat, jolly yellow robot or a normal person inside it.
186	* Barlow of ''VideoGame/VanguardBandits'', the [[AMechByAnyOtherName ATAC]] pilot with what he calls a "glandular disorder". He's always eating some candy, and when he gets hungry he starts going after the weirdest things. Ranging from earth-worms to platypi.
187	* ''VideoGame/WorldsEndClub'' gives us Mowchan, a portly boy who loves nothing more than to eat, and even carries around junk food in his backpack. His gluttony can lead to him not wishing to die because there's still things he wants to eat, only wanting to travel to cities for their food, and even being [[DeliciousDistraction distracted]] (causing separation from the group) by mangoes growing on a tree and [[FollowYourNose the smell of peaches]]. [[DoesNotLikeSpam Don't give him any tonkotsu ramen, though]].
188	* The pandaren in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft: Mists of Pandaria'' are an entire ''race'' of Big Eaters. In part because of that, most pandaren consider being fat a ''virtue'', and some will even say that your character could stand to gain a few pounds. (Indeed, fat pandaren seem to be [[{{Acrofatic}} barely slowed down]] by their extra weight.)
189
190
191	!!Both
192	* ''VideoGame/BugFables'':
193	** Leif the moth, in spite of his slender figure, constantly thinks about food and seems to be perpetually hungry no matter how much he eats, which he uses to win the eating competition in the Golden Settlement festival. This is implied due to not eating anything for ''decades'', or [[spoiler:because he's technically eating for two, due to the cordyceps possessing his body.]]
194	** Chubee, the chubby bee actress, is one of the few who can rival Leif in eating a lot and proves herself to be a formidable rival in the eating competition.
195	** Subverted with Zasp, who constantly brags that he can easily win the eating competition, but in practice, he's incapable of eating even half of how much Leif and Chubee can eat and ends up giving himself indigestion in the middle of the contest.
196	* [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Aldrich, Devourer of Gods]] from ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII''. Presumably, he started with normal food, then graduated to cannibalism after a prophetic dream and acquiring the powers of [[TheDarkArts The Deep]]. Eventually, even that wasn't enough for him and he took to devouring the gods themselves. When you finally reach him, he's been reduced to a sentient pool of rotten flesh that uses the long-dead upper torso of [[spoiler: Dark Moon Gwyndolin from the first game]] as his ''[[GrievousHarmWithABody weapon]]''.
197	* ''VideoGame/DeathRoadToCanada'': Gourmand is a trait of certain survivors. They eat 3 food per meal instead of 2, gain morale with every decent meal and lose {{morale\|Mechanic}} faster when food is low, and have special options in food-related random events[[note]]and not so food-related, such as one that involves a spider[[/note]]. They also have 1 extra hit point.
198	* ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'': Both Kris (thin) and Susie (big) have the reputation to be ObsessedWithFood. This tends to be justified as they are teenagers [[ComfortFood who are coping with personal issues]]:
199	** Concerning Kris, they tend to steal food during night (to the point Toriel has to innovate in ways to protect her pies and to warn the local shopkeeper to keep chocolate away from them), and when they are locked in, you can decide to make them eat moss, and unlike many decisions you make in the game, they seem to enjoy your decision.
200	** Susie goes even further, as a significant part of her dialogues consist of analyzing if some items can be eaten, [[ExtremeOmnivore and she's not kidding]], to the point the following mentions are only stretching the surface: she's been seen eating chalk, she mentioned drinking a plate of milk in a backstreet, and she tends to threat to eat people's faces. In her case, it is implied that she's eating the most possible before she comes home, where she apparently can't satisfy her daily needs.
201	* Subverted in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV''. While [[PlayerCharacter the Warrior]] can boast about trying to eat their own weight in carnival food, they bite off a little more than they can chew after the Exarch has them "crack the coinpurse" in Mord Souq to earn the trust of the locals. One Voeburtite honour buys forty loaves of Mushloaf (a bread stuffed with fruit), ten sides of Everburning Bounty (a very spicy meat dish), sixty-five Chewy Skewers (fire-roasted frogs), or fifteen jars of Glazed Wrigglers (honey-slathered worms) - and the Warrior tries to eat the ''whole purchase'' right there at the storefront. By the end, they can either force themselves to down the last serving with immense discomfort, or give up and hand the rest to the merchants as free food; whether this is the quantity of the food or because of [[ForeignQueasine displeasure with the taste]] is left as an exercise for the reader. Whether they qualify for the "thin" or "fat" subtypes depends on the race you choose: Elezen, Au Ra, Viera, and Hyur Midlanders are skinny, Lalafell are short but somewhat thicker relative to their height, Hyur Highlanders and female Roegadyn and Hrothgar are muscular, and male Roegadyn and Hrothgar are broad.
202	* ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'': This is a consistent character trait among the [[FeatheredFiend Chica]] line, [[EatingMachine despite the fact they are animatronics]]. Typically, they are shown wearing a bib and holding a cupcake. In the [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys1 original game]] Chica goes into the kitchen while she's hunting you down. ''[[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysVRHelpWanted Help Wanted]]'' has a level where you are asked to repair and clean her after she got filthy and malfunctioned from pizza clogging up her systems. The other Chicas aren't much better: [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach Glamrock Chica]] in particular has her backroom area littered with junkfood, and a poster featuring her happily eating a pizza has the oxymoronic caption "Fitness Through Food."
203	* In ''VideoGame/GirlsFrontline'', some [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots T-Dolls]] like eating more than others. Galil, [=F2000=], FNC, Type-56, Astra 357, and S.A.T.8 are on the thin side, while SPAS-12 is pudgy.
204	* In ''[[VideoGame/TheIdolmaster The Idolm@ster SP: Wandering Star]]'' there is Takane Shijou, who can eat various bowls of food without ever showing any sign of getting fat.
205	** ''VideoGame/TheIdolmasterCinderellaGirls'' introduced Kanako Mimura, who is actually kinda fat and has to watch her weight. The problem is she loves making and eating sweets.
206	** ''VideoGame/TheIdolmasterMillionLive'' introduces Nao Yokoyama, who, like Takane, shows no sign of getting fat, despite being constantly shown with food in her cards. She also constantly mentions being hungry. Kana Yabuki might also count as she loves sweets (like Haruka) and, in the movie, overeats out of depression and becomes fat too. However, after the other idols help her get over her depression, she gets back to her normal weight.
207	** Finally, ''VideoGame/TheIdolmasterSideM'' introduces Tsubasa Kashiwagi, who not only eats a lot without getting fat, but in one episode of [[Anime/TheIdolmasterSideM the anime]], he claims to have lost his appetite while still eating a lot.
208	* ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'':
209	** Kirby of course! He can eat [[ExtremeOmnivore just about anything he comes across]] and isn't above consuming his foes either. The [[Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa anime]] [[AlternateContinuity continuity]] expanded upon this, showing him [[VacuumMouth Inhaling]] an entire table's worth of food in under a few seconds and even shows Kirby's stomach to be a sort of PocketDimension.
210	** [[AuthorityInNameOnly King Dedede]] can easily rival Kirby when it comes to eating, can copy Kirby's [[VacuumMouth Inhale]] ability, and has the [[StoutStrength gut]] to prove it. He caused the events of the [[VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand first game in the series]] by stealing all the food in Dream Land to [[VillainousGlutton gorge his appetite]]. In ''Kirby Super Star's'' ''Gourmet Race'' sub-game he challenges Kirby to a [[RacingMiniGame Racing]]/EatingContest.
211	** Storo, the [[StoutStrength muscle]] of the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Squeak Squad]] is probably also a big eater considering his size. Though, the only place he really shows it off is in one of the mini-games in ''VideoGame/KirbySqueakSquad'' where he and Kirby have a quick draw cake-eating contest.
212	** [[WarriorPrince Prince Fluff]] from ''VideoGame/KirbysEpicYarn'' is shown to have just as much of an appetite as Kirby in one of the cutscenes.
213	* ''VideoGame/LittleNightmares'': The Guests are all enormously fat, and board the Maw to enjoy the massive amount of food cooked by the Chefs. They will also attempt to eat Six if they see her. Interestingly enough, [[NothingButSkinAndBones Six]] is also this, eating everything from a loaf of bread to raw meat to a (proportionally) dog-sized rat to a [[spoiler: friendly Nome and eventually, a big chunk of the Lady's flesh]] over the short course of the game.
214	* ''VideoGame/MrTomatos'': The titular character eats a ton of food given to him by the player.
215	* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'':
216	** ''VideoGame/PokemonDiamondandPearl'': Maylene. She mentions being hungry after you defeat her in Diamond & Pearl, but just how much she can eat wasn't discovered until we saw her in ''[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver HeartGold & SoulSilver]]'', where she is scarfing down her ''ninth'' plate of food at the Celadon Diner EatingContest.
217	** Also in HG/SS, School Kid Billy says that Jasmine is a big eater when he tells you that she hangs out at the Olivine Cafe on Wednesdays. If you actually go there on Wednesdays between one PM and two PM, you can find her there, and the rumor is clearly true; she has a LOT of empty plates on her table. (Incidentally, this is how you can get her phone number, something that is needed from a Gym Leader if you want to battle him or her at the Saffron City dojo.)
218	** Munchlax (it's actually known as the BigEater Pokémon) and its evolution, the most famous Pokémon BigEater ever, Snorlax, big, fat, always hungry when awake, and capable of devouring whole forests of fruit in less than a day. It will devour its entire body weight in food at least once a month and it weighs over '''1,000 pounds'''.
219	** Downplayed with Larvitar, a Pokémon that [[ExtremeOmnivore eats rocks and stones]]. [[GameplayStorySegregation According to]] its Pokedex entry, when preparing to evolve it will eat an entire mountain before turning into the immobile Pupitar.
220	** Another Pokémon family, Gulpin and Swalot, are living stomachs with expandable mouths that swallow their food whole.
221	** And [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite fifth gen]] brings us the Deino family. Deino itself is blind and instinctively takes bites out of anything it bumps into (which is everything). It evolves into Zweilous, a MultipleHeadCase that fights with itself over food and more often than not ends up eating twice as much. Zweilous eventually gains eyes when it evolves into Hydreigon, an aggressive predator, wild Hydreigon are said to kill and eat anything they see.
222	** ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' Introduced Guzzlord. Its ''Sun'' Pokédex entry states that it's been seen to gobble up ''mountains and buildings'', and its ''Moon'' entry describes it as eating constantly.
223	** ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'' introduced curry, which trainers can prepare for themselves and their Pokémon. There are a number of Pokémon that have their serving of curry being rather large in comparison to their trainer's serving. Many of them are unevolved Bug-types (such as Caterpie, Snom, or Wimpod) whose evolved forms only eat a spoonful of curry. TruthInTelevision, as actual insects will eat copious amounts of food right before pupating.
224	** Downplayed in the Pokémon-amie with some species of Pokémon. No matter how big or small a Pokémon is, it takes the same number of Poké-puffs to satisfy it. Consequently, you can see shades of this trope with smaller species who can eat multiple Poké-puffs that appear ''bigger than they are''.
225	* In ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'', one of the few things [[{{Salaryman}} Larry]] shows enthusiasm for is lunch. You're introduced to him while he's eating at a restaurant, and he's hungry ''again'' after your gym battle with him. He treats the player to a meal for their victory, and the snapshot you get afterwards shows your character looking shocked at how many rice balls Larry ordered for himself.
226	* In ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'', ''you'' are. The protagonist trainer can grab up to ''50 servings'' of food at the Battle Buffet, Buffet[[note]]You're given 10 turns to grab as much as you can, meaning you can grab 10 entrees if you manage all [=OHKOs=], and the maximum each entree can have is five servings.[[/note]], and scarfs down ''all'' of it after doing so. (Oh, and there's nothing keeping you from going to Mallow's restaurant right after that.)
227	* ''VideoGame/TheSims4'' introduces the Glutton trait, characterized by sims that eat any food put in front of them, [[ExtremeOmnivore up to and including food that’s spoiled or found in the trash can]], and will eat autonomously even when they don’t need to.
228	* The Three Little Pigs from ''VideoGame/SINoALICE'' love to eat, and their concept is "Gluttony". The three of them are willing to eat as much as they can until they vomit, and then eat again. The trio consists of a chubby elder sister, a thin younger sister, and a balanced middle sister.
229	* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'':
230	** ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'':
231	*** Chip, especially towards anything made out of [[TrademarkFavoriteFood chocolate]].
232	*** Eggman. The first time he has eaten anything on screen and he downs a 12" sub sandwich in two bites and does it all in under 10 seconds.
233	** Zomom from ''VideoGame/SonicLostWorld''.
234	* ''VideoGame/Spyro2RiptosRage'':
235	** One of Gulp's characteristics is that he eats a lot.
236	** The hippos in Shady Oasis eat a lot of fruits. In the level's outro, a hippo has somehow eaten all the fruit of a big tree shouldn't stop growing fruits.
237	* In the ''VideoGame/StreetPassMiiPlaza'' minigame ''Feed Mii'', the meals you make for the adventuring Miis are very large relative to the Miis you're feeding, especially Jumbo-class meals, yet those Miis happily chow down on those dishes with no effects to their bodies, regardless of what their owners set their body shapes to.
238	* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'':
239	** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'' has [[https://mario.fandom.com/wiki/Big_Bertha_(fish) Big Bertha]] and [[https://mario.fandom.com/wiki/Boss_Bass Boss Bass]], oversized Cheep-Cheeps that can kill Mario or Luigi by ''swallowing them whole''.
240	** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' marks the debut of Yoshi. In every game where he appears, he can swallow enemies (most of them) and make use of what he eats: he can gain powers in some cases (spitting fire, flying, or shaking the ground), and otherwise, he can spit them at other enemies; in rare cases, he lays eggs which give the player a OneUp. The last mechanic is the core gameplay of ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld2YoshisIsland Yoshi's Island]]'', where the layed eggs don't give lives, but can be used as projectiles.
241	** Mario himself really likes-a his pasta as he dreams of it in ''VideoGame/SuperMario64''; he also falls in love with Isle Delfino when he sees seafood in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'', and his hotel room is full of empty pizza boxes in ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion3''. It is made more evident in the [[WesternAnimation/SuperMarioBrosDic DiC cartoons]] though, then we find out that his much thinner brother Luigi can put on food even more than he does...
242	** ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'' has the ghost of Mr. Luggs. His FlavorText says [[DeathByGluttony he ate himself to death]], though that did not stop him. Plus, you can only capture him by first vacuuming his food away, making him attack you [[BerserkButton out of rage]].
243	** VideoGame/{{Wario}} is even worse than Mario in this regard: many cutscenes in ''VideoGame/WarioWare'' games show him eating sweets on his couch (to the point he ends up destroying his teeth in one of them), and ''VideoGame/WarioLand4'' ends on him going to an eating contest.
