4	* Exeggerated in ''VideoGame/SeventySevenPEggwife'' - you're an animated ''stickman'' who consumes glass bottles, teabags (with the bag), whole cartons of eggs (''yes'', the shells and cartons too), and the first thing you consume in-game is an oven-roasted teddy bear.
5	* ''VideoGame/DemonSkin'' have you playing as a BarbarianHero who eats ''anything''. Several levels have scorpions, centipedes and slugs randomly crawling on the ground, and you're given an option to eat them which boosts your health!
6	--> "Mmm, tasty." - '''You, after chomping a slug'''
7	* ''VideoGame/EndlessSpace'' has an entire civilization of these called the Cravers. They are capable of digesting any form of plant or animal matter. Oh yeah, they also consumed their entire home world and are now doing the same thing to other planets.
8	* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' has this in ''Shadowbringers'' during [[FatBastard Vauthry's]] VillainousBreakdown as he's in the middle of eating meol [[spoiler:which turns out to be ground up sin eaters]], finishing his food, including the fork, before getting away.
9	* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' has Cho'gath, whose level 6 ability allows him to basically eat(or attempt to eat) anything with a health bar[[note]]such as humans, Yordles, [[TelescopingRobot robots]], [[EskimoLand humans]] [[ABoyAndHisX riding]] [[BigfootSasquatchAndYeti yetis]], [[MiniMecha Yordles riding robots]], [[RobotGirl formerly human robots]], [[ElementalEmbodiment elementals]], [[LivingShadow shadows]], [[OurMinotaursAreDifferent minotaurs]], [[OurLichesAreDifferent liches]], giant armadillos, anthropomorphic dogs, anthropomorphic crocodiles, [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolves]], [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampires]], [[VampireHunter vampire hunters]], [[RuleOfThree Yordle]] [[{{Mummy}} mummies]], [[OurGhostsAreDifferent wraiths]], [[GorgeousGorgon gorgons]], [[{{Ninja}} human ninjas]], [[RunningGag Yordle ninjas]], [[AnIcePerson icy]] [[ThePhoenix phoenixes]], [[OurAngelsAreDifferent angels]], [[FallenAngel other angels]], other [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]], [[ScaryScarecrows scarecrows]], [[WolfTropes wolves]], [[OurDemonsAreDifferent scary demons]], [[{{Golem}} golems]], [[HumanoidAbomination scary humanoid demons]], [[WhenTreesAttack mobile trees]], [[OurTrollsAreDifferent trolls]], [[OurGargoylesRock gargoyles]], [[OurZombiesAreDifferent zombies]], [[RunningGag Yordle]] [[GadgeteerGenius inventors]], ''[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial totally]]'' [[AvertedTrope non-]][[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame dwarves]], [[SiliconBasedLife crystalline]] [[ScaryScorpions scorpions]], [[OurDragonsAreDifferent dragons]], [[ThePowerOfRock METAL suits of armor]], [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Purple Skinned Star Babes]], [[VoluntaryShapeshifting human-raven-things]], [[RunningGag Yordles]], giant lizards, [[YouDirtyRat anthropomorphic rats]], [[StockNessMonster sea monsters]], [[FrankensteinsMonster zombie cyborg]] [[GiantEnemyCrab crab things]], [[Literature/JourneyToTheWest anthropomorphic monkeys]], [[RunningGag Yordles]], [[MirrorMatch himself]], [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and]] [[OverusedRunningGag Yordles]][[/note]], growing in size and gaining bonus HP if he is successful. His passive, "Carnivore", has him restore health and mana whenever he scores a killing blow on something, implying he eats at least a part of everything he kills.
10	** Also Kog'maw, the "Mouth of the Abyss" whose entire skillset, including his auto-attacks, involves spitting digestive fluids at his enemies. The only reason he's even in the League is because he was told it had the finest food Runeterra had to offer. Ironically, he's never actually seen eating anything.
11	--->'''Kog'maw's Background:''' ''The enchanting colors and aromas of Runeterra intoxicated Kog'Maw, and he explored the fruits of the strange world the only way he knew how: by devouring them. At first he sampled only the wild flora and fauna he happened across. As he traversed the parched Tempest Flats, however, he came upon a tribe of nomads. Seemingly unhampered by conventional rules of physics, Kog'Maw consumed every nomad and any obstacles they put in his way, amounting to many times his own mass and volume.''
12	** Seems to come with the territory for those who actually hail from the Void. Kha'Zix's goal in life is to consume the most dangerous creatures in the land (Rengar being on the top of the list) to become the perfect predator. Much like Kog'maw his abilities don't reflect the "consume" part of this, instead focusing on his ability to adapt and evolve.
13	* ''Franchise/MassEffect'': The krogan come from a DeathWorld where until the invention of gunpowder the #1 cause of death was still "eaten by predators." (Afterward it was "shot to death by another krogan".) Their versions of dogs, varren, are just as nasty. Opportunistic omnivores, they are both scavengers and pack hunters, but they prefer live meat. They are so nasty that feral varren have caused mass extinctions on almost every world they've been introduced to. It doesn't help that they apparently breed like rabbits, can survive in almost any environment, or that they're so aggressive that the Alliance recommends using a squad of heavily armed SpaceMarines to hunt them.
14	** The krogan themselves are suggested to be able to eat just about anything even vaguely edible, to the point that Grunt (the krogan teammate from ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'') finds burning, plague-infected bodies appetizing. However, he [[DoesNotLikeSpam draws the line at ramen]].
15	--->'''Grunt:''' [[WhatDidIDoLastNight I don't remember much after I ate the lamp.]]
16	* Naked Snake/Big Boss from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'', whose conversations with his medical contact mostly revolved around how tasty the latest animal he'd captured or killed was. Among the items on his menu were various poisonous snakes, ("Cannibal.") mushrooms, crocodiles, frogs, tropical birds, rodents, and [[ArsonMurderandJaywalking ramen noodles]]. He is such a glutton, he ''repeatedly'' asks [[TooDumbToLive how delicious a Poison Arrow Frog and Fly Algaric are]], in spite of the fact of being ''repeatedly'' told that both are ''instantly'' lethal to consume. In one 'outtake' he's berated by his {{Mentor}} for wanting to eat her horse, and during the game it's also possible to [[ImAHumanitarian eat a vulture that's eaten a human]] ([[DevelopersForesight you will remember this]]).
17	* ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' has a wide array of food to choose from. It also has Rotten Flesh, which comes from zombies. It has an 80% chance of inflicting Food Poisoning to consumers. You’re also free to eat raw meat (which has no ill effects except raw chicken, which has a 30% chance of causing food poisoning), pufferfish (though doing so is strongly discouraged), and spider eyes (though they poison the player, their saturation is high enough that they’re good as an emergency food).
18	* ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter3Tri'' has Deviljho, a dangerous endgame-level monster only encountered in the online mode. It's an Extreme Omnivore not in the "eats cars and lightbulbs" sense so much as apparently having ''no'' standards for what kind of meat it'll eat. On top of being a voracious predator that hunts nonstop due to its extremely high metabolism (to the point of driving other species to extinction, according to the game's description), it's also been observed in actual gameplay to munch on slain or captured members of its ''own species''.
19	* In ''VideoGame/Persona4'', the main character Yu Narukami can check the refrigerator on certain days and eat things that he finds within to increase his courage. These include such delicacies as expired milk, white miso (which used to be red), and his cousin's science experiment, which is a pot of grass. This has become [[MemeticMutation a bit of a joke in the Persona 4 fandom]].
20	* From ''VideoGame/SwordOfTheStars II'', the Suul'ka known as the Cannibal eats ''everything'', including planets, purely because he likes the taste. [[spoiler:Other Suul'ka are exempt, [[ImAHumanitarian though younger Liir are on the menu.]]]]
21	-->You're right, it does look delicious.
22	* Flynn Scifo in ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'' will eat nearly anything, resulting in him becoming a CordonBleughChef. Making things worse, his reaction to people disliking his cooking is to come up with even worse combinations to "improve" the flavor.
23	* Pit from ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'' is said to be this. At one point Palutena mentions that she has seen him eating "questionable things from the floor".
24	-->'''Pit:''' "Floor ice cream gives you health!"
25	* Snorlax from ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' will even eat moldy food.
26	* ''VideoGame/TheSims4'':
27	** Sims with the Glutton trait are perfectly willing to eat food that’s either spoiled or from the trash.
28	** The ''Eco Living'' expansion pack adds the Freegan trait. Sims with this trait are anti-consumerist and prefer to get their stuff for free, and this includes food. Dumpster diving is par for the course.
29	* In ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'', nobody can resist [[LethalChef El]] [[OnenoteCook Fuerte]]'s cooking. Until ''Ultra'', where GenkiGirl Elena chomps it down without any trouble.
30	* ''VideoGame/{{Starbound}}'': Florans love to hunt, kill, and feed, in roughly that order; if they're hungry enough (or bored enough), they'll try to eat each other. Even obviously toxic things are fair game. The only real exception are the Glitch, and only because the attempt revealed that no, you really can't eat robots even if you try. (Lately they've been learning about ethics and are coming to terms with the idea that eating other sentients might be wrong for other reasons than digestibility.)
31	* ''VideoGame/BlazBlue''[='=]s Mai Natsume plays with this a bit; her "supertaste" ability allows her to enjoy [[LethalChef Noel Vermillion's]] cooking (which normally ranges from "immensely bad" to "unsafe for human consumption"), but as a side effect she finds normal food unpalatable. Hilariously, in ''VideoGame/BlazBlueCrossTagBattle'' this also extends to the infamous "Mystery Food X" from ''VideoGame/Persona4'', as she is the only character in the entire game who ''[[HyperactiveMetabolism heals and gains meter]]'' from consuming it, whereas it does the opposite for anyone else.
32	** The series' BigBad Yuuki Terumi is presented as this Noel's gag ending in ''VideoGame/BlazBlueContinuumShift'' when everyone goes eat together. Noel's terrible cooking knocks out everyone except for Terumi, who absolutely loves the food. Outside of this, he's said to like boiled eggs, which he swallows whole (tying to his serpent theme).
33	* In ''VideoGame/Destiny2'' during the post-apocalypse Dark Ages, the Drifter repeatedly starved to death, and was subsequently resurrected by his Ghost, a robotic SoulJar. This has resulted in him being not at all picky as to what or ''whom'' he eats when it comes to aliens - he drinks the toxic biological "milk" that powers time-traveling Vex robots, and mentions that the chitinous Hive are good eating. The only thing he hesitates on are the zombie-like alien Scorn, but promises that one day he'll summon the courage to eat one.
34	* ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'' -- like [[VideoGame/BioShock the games before it in the series]] -- carries on the element of encouraging you to rummage and scrounge through available nook and cranny for resources, including [[HyperactiveMetabolism food to heal from]]. ''Infinite'' dials it up a notch as not only is this element more pronounced thanks to the greatly-reduced presence of health kits, some places include trash bins and ''toilets'' (specifically [[GoodiesInTheToilets the infamously dubious "toilet potatoes"]]). Given how [[PlayerCharacter Booker DeWitt]] is very explicitly a broke, heavily in-debt gambler who lives out of his office, one can easily imagine that him being completely unpicky is completely in-character. In the ''Burial At Sea'' DLC, [[LampshadeHanging the game itself will comment on Booker's tendency of eating food out of the trash]] (no doubt because of [[MemeticMutation how much fans noticed it]]).

37	[[folder:Type Two]]
38	* Creator/{{Nintendo}} really likes this trope. Never before has borderline cannibalism been raised to such an art form of self-defense.
39	** ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' series:
40	*** Yoshi, first appearing in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'', can eat almost anything that moves with his long sticky tongue. Adding to the fun, in later games, things he eats come out as ''eggs'' (apparently empty ones). Yoshi's stomach has gradually grown less sensitive in each game he has starred in. In ''VideoGame/YoshisStory'', the newborn Yoshis (except for the hidden black and white ones) would prefer specific foods over others, even take damage from eating things they didn't like, like black Shy Guys or hot peppers. In ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland'', his tongue would bounce off of spiny, large, or tough enemies. In ''Super Mario World'', he could eat pretty much anything.
41	*** In the ''WesternAnimation/SuperMarioWorld'' cartoon, Yoshi eats a variety of things. Among his meals are blocks, fireballs, wood, stone, a Chargin' Chuck (which he can't eat in [[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld the actual game]]), many Piranha Plants, an entire harvest of cave crops, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTs66G1z2b4 King Koopa, Hip and Hop]]. He even swallowed Mario once.
42	---->'''Mario:''' Now I know how a meatball feels!\
43	'''Baby Yoshi:''' (After spitting Mario out) Ueagh, Yoshi no like meatballs!
44	*** Princess Peach acquired a parasol with this trait for the game ''VideoGame/SuperPrincessPeach''.
45	*** In ''VideoGame/WarioWorld'', Wario can collect coins and other small valuables by inhaling them.
46	*** In ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'', the three dragons, while intending to eat anyone they see, also eat the treasure you get for defeating them. Before Mario fights each of them, Hooktail ate the Diamond Star (which Koopley found inside her), Gloomtail ate a treasure chest containing the Star Key (coughed it up after he was defeated), and Bonetail ate a chest containing a badge (also coughed it up once defeated) and he's [[{{Dracolich}} not even alive]].
47	*** In ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'', Belome is a giant, four-eyed dog-like beast that is constantly hungry. His main mechanic is being able to consume party members. In the first fight with him, he only eats Mallow and spits him up after getting attacked enough times. In the second fight later in the Belome Temple, Belome doesn't just single out Mallow anymore and has an appetite for other party members. Mario, Peach, Geno, and even ''Bowser''.
48	** ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' series:
49	*** Dimitri in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames'' will eat any enemies Link comes across while being ridden. Funnily enough, in both games ''he'' is nearly eaten before Link intereferes, in ''Seasons'' by some Moblins and in ''Ages'' by some Tokay. The Tokay themselves gladly ask for some Ember Seeds to eat in place of Dimitri, though they [[FireBreathingDiner don't actually end up liking them so much]].
50	*** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', Link can cook just about anything that you can throw in a pot, which includes rocks, insects, screws, and monster eyeballs. Doing so will usually produce Dubious Food, a meal [[CensoredForComedy too disgusting to even show on television]]... but not too disgusting for Link to eat, apparently. He even still gains health benefits from it. In the ''Champion's Ballad'' DLC of the same game, Daruk's journal tells about one time Link tried a [[EatDirtCheap Rock Roast]], which is exactly what it sounds like: a semi-molten rock in the shape of meat that's exclusively meant [[SiliconBasedLife for Goron consumption]]. And not only did Link survive [[ForegoneConclusion (obviously)]], apparently he ''liked'' it!
51	** ''Franchise/{{Kirby}} series'':
52	*** Franchise/{{Kirby}} has been eating his enemies more than Yoshi has, including ones that are many times his size. The Hypernova ability in ''VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe'' allows him to eat even larger things, including entire trees and the [[PaintingTheMedium UI]]. The [[Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa anime series]] portrays him as having some sort of pocket dimension inside of his stomach.
53	*** King Dedede has been doing it just as much, even being able to consume Kirby before Kirby could respond in kind.
54	** ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'':
55	*** Larvitar only eat rocks and soil. Once one reaches a certain age it will ''eat an entire mountain'' before evolving into the nearly immobile Pupitar.
56	*** Gulpin and Swalot are disembodied stomachs (Gulpin is explicitly noted to find tire rubber tasty).
57	*** Deino tries to take a bite out of everything it bumps into, since it doesn't have eyes, its final form Hydreigon, which does have eyes, is said to kill and eat everything it sees.
58	*** Guzzlord is effectively just an enormous mouth who will eat anything and convert it to pure energy. Prior to the player catching it and learning its name, it's simply referred to as "Glutton".
59	** ''VideoGame/{{Pikmin}}'':
60	*** ''VideoGame/Pikmin2'' instroduces Louie. Not only does this guy make recipes for ''every single enemy in game'', he's also implied to have ate several of them to test out the possible varying side effects that range from MushroomSamba to ''outright death'', and somehow managed to survive them regardless. Ontop of that, one of said creatures he's implied to have eaten was a creature ''made entirely out of rock, and he himself admits that it was inedible''! (Yet, regardless, he states in his notes that it TasteLikeChicken.)
61	*** The Pikmin's [[LivingShip Onions]] consume pellets and the remains of defeated enemies (including things like pearls) that the Pikmin bring back to make more Pikmin. They work like real-life ant queens.
62	** ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'':
63	*** Wario can eat almost anything in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'' with his Chomp move ("Living" items like Poke Balls and Mr. Saturn being the exceptions), making him similar to better known omnivores Kirby and King Dedede, who likewise can swallow items with their Inhale neutral special. This includes ''his motorcycle''.
64	*** In a reference to ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'', Snake, in his Codec Taunt in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'' turns the tables on Yoshi and wonders what it'd taste like.
65	*** In ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU'', Wario's been upgraded, as he can now eat virtually any projectile on top of regaining health and building gas for the Wario Waft when eating items (The numerous pieces of a destroyed Wario Bike being prime targets). Kirby only possesses the healing property and Dedede the projectile-eating property, making Wario the superior one out of the game's omnivores, strangely enough.
66	* Quina Quen, the Qu party member in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'', can use the Eat command (and its [[LimitBreak Trance-induced upgrade]] Cook) to consume low-health[[note]]Eat requires the target to be below 1/8 of their maximum hp; Cook raises the threshold to 1/4.[[/note]] enemies. Doing this to the right targets is how [[AmbiguousGender he/she]] [[MegaManning learns new Blue Magic abilities]].
67	* ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' has the cannok, kill them to retrieve the stuff they ate. Their flexible eyestalks are good sushi too, so the main character counts also.
68	* ''VideoGame/MinecraftStoryMode'': Petra’s implied to be this. In Season 2 Episode 3, the Warden reads off her prisoner file and lists that her favorite weapon, tool, and... food are all "sword." Jesse then confirms that the file is accurate.
69	* Skeiths and Grarrls, two species of virtual pets in the online game ''{{Website/Neopets}}'', can eat any inventory item, not just those designated as food, although Skeiths are allergic to cheese and will become sick if they are fed any.
70	* ''VideoGame/ThePrinceOfLandis'': The Guest who crash-lands on Earth. One of the first things [[PlayerCharacter Evan]] gets for him is the roadkill bunny Evan's father killed to eat.
71	* Izen from ''VideoGame/GadgetTrial'', being a bio-engineered RobotGirl, eats just about anything she can get her hands on. She does have a fondness for dynamite, which, according to her, tastes like bean jelly.
72	* ''VideoGame/NetHack'' already allows the player to eat many types of food, but ''VideoGame/SlashEmExtended'' takes that even further with the Activistor role. They can eat meat, vegetables, corpses, rock, glass, bone, iron and several kinds of other metals. Plastic is still inedible for them though.
73	** Even vanilla Nethack has the option by polymorphing into a suitable omnivore, such as a Xorn or a rust monster. There's actually an incentive to do this, as eating certain magic items (mainly rings) have a chance of permanently adding its ability to you.
74	* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' has the Devour ability, which characters can access by junctioning the Guardian Force Eden (or another [=GF=] that was taught the ability via a Hungry Cookpot). If the target's hp is low enough, the character will rush the enemy... and the scene will change to a [[RelaxOVision peaceful, pastoral landscape]] while horrible chomping noises are heard in the background. Doing this to [[GuideDangIt the right enemies]] can reward the Devouring character with permanent increases to their stats.
75	* In ''VideoGame/JeanneDArc'', the TeamPet Cuisses can eat almost any combination of two Skill Stones and spit out a new Stone. Most high-level Skill Stones can only be acquired through this method.
76	** Toady from ''VideoGame/RogueGalaxy'', who Cuisses is an {{Expy}} of, can do the same thing with equipment.
77	* VideoGame/PacMan. He eats all sorts of fruit yes, but he eats floating dots (and the occasional ''big'' floating dot). And blue ghosts. How would you like to eat a ghost? That can't be healthy. Then there's the keys and spaceships.
78	** FridgeHorror sets in when you realize he eats small round floating dots, larger round floating dots...and he himself is an even bigger ''round floating dot''.
79	** Another form of potential FridgeHorror sets in when you ponder about who the ghosts are the spirits ''of''. However, WordOfGod states that they're not ghosts, but monsters in the same shape as ghosts. Still, [[FridgeLogic if you think about it]], this really doesn't improve matters and [[VoodooShark only brings to mind more questions.]]
80	** As a SpecialGuest in the 1981 arcade title ''VideoGame/KickMan'', Pacman even eats balloons!
81	* Drong, from ''VideoGame/PuzzleQuest''. He even eats a PhysicalGod.
82	* Maw, from ''VideoGame/TheMaw'', eats a huge variety of creatures, the rocks one of those types of creatures hide under (once he's large enough), [[spoiler: an entire planet]], and [[CameraAbuse the game's camera]]. Pretty much the only thing he ''won't'' eat are these little one-eyed blobby things.
83	* ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' gives us Soul Bees. They instinctively attack and devour any moving object that is not another Soul Bee and rarely suffer from indigestion or food poisoning.
84	* [[http://www.dopefish.com/fishinfo.html SWIM SWIM HUNGRY]]
85	* Yuyuko Saigyouji of the ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' series, according to fanon and MemeticMutation, will eat anything. And any''one''. Poor Mystia...
86	** Mystia is canon, actually. "[[CrossesTheLineTwice Hold on, Youmu, there's a bone in my throat]]." But [[UnexplainedRecovery somehow she returns]] for ''VideoGame/TouhouKaeidzukaPhantasmagoriaOfFlowerView''.
87	** Yoshika Miyako's ability is explicitly to "eat anything and everything". She makes use of it in combat by eating spirits to regenerate health.
88	** This trope reaches its fever pitch in the franchise with VideoGame/TouhouGouyokuIbunSunkenFossilWorld's Yuuma Toutetsu, whose ability is simply Yoshika's on [[ExaggeratedTrope crack cocaine]]. Furthermore, whereas Yoshika simply gains back health, Yuuma ''weaponizes'' what she eats by using it as fuel to power her attacks. What she consumes also alters her personality in some way, which leads into the game's plot, as the "petroleum" that Yuuma eats actually is the blood of the Earth itself, which apparently contains many negative emotions and feelings; by consuming this, Yuuma's own already-awful personality becomes just as exaggerated.
89	* The Green Tentacle from ''VideoGame/ManiacMansion'' will eat good food, food gone bad, or anything that just ''looks'' like food - in fact, his favorite dish is plastic ''shaped'' like food.
90	* Your BOY in ''VideoGame/NobyNobyBoy'' can eat anything and anyone. However, he doesn't really digest them, as they come back out in one piece when they're, um, "evacuated".
91	* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' series has a complex PotionBrewingMechanic which treats [[AlchemyIsMagic Alchemy as a magically classed skill]]. Potential ingredients range from standard food items to less palatable animal parts, poisonous mushrooms, raw hearts, human flesh, ashes of burned vampires, ground up bones, soap, pearls, precious gemstones (including diamonds), pieces of metal, raw ore, rocks, and more. One of the primary means of identifying the magical properties of these ingredients is to [[SniffSniffNom eat them]], which is particularly jarring when you're talking about the player character chowing down on ten pounds of metal or rock at once. Eating the raw ingredients exposes you to a weakened version of its magical effects. There is no downside to consuming these ingredients, save for whatever minor, temporary magical effects they may expose you to.
92	* Dog in the ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' add-on, ''Dead Money''. He accidentally swallowed the [[ExplosiveLeash explosive collar]] his master, Elijah, gave him in order to keep him loyal. He will also eat the remains of Ghost People you kill, a useful way to make sure they stay dead.
93	** The player can eat, with the right perks, giant insects, mammals, people, boiled toxic cloud, most plant life, super mutants, 200 year old {{Indestructible Edible}}s, Ghouls (radioactive "zombies"), glowing mushrooms, and mutant animal guts.
94	* Pep in the ''VideoGame/PuttPutt'' series, especially in ''Putt-Putt and Pep's Dog on a Stick'', where he had more bones than any dog could dream of.
95	* Kingseeker Frampt in ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsI'' serves as your junk disposal by eating the equipment and giving you souls in return. He particularly enjoys Dung Pies, which he "buys" at retail price from you, making it an effective way to store some extra souls. He can also break Titanite into smaller pieces for you by chewing it up.
96	* ''VideoGame/RavingRabbids'': a couple of minigames in the first one feature Rayman serving up food to a rabbid by drawing it. Foodstuffs produced in this manner range from the relatively normal (bananas, fish, sausages), to the odd (cans of spam...the can is eaten too) to the absurd (baseballs and ''cinderblocks''.) These are all devoured with every indication of satisfaction.
97	* The skags in ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' will eat just about anything, and puke up anything they can't digest (money, ammo, and even the occasional gun) into the "skag piles" you find near their lairs.
98	** In ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'', Scooter claims that Crazy Earl once ate one of his runners.
99	--->'''Scooter:''' Careful though, Earl's crazy -- he ate one of my cars once. Yeahhhh. The whole car. Just... like, with a fork.
100	** Gunzerker player character Salvador has commented on the tastes of paint thinner and machine grease. The former is something he likes mixed into his booze to give it an extra kick, while the latter is something he enjoys on sandwiches.
101	* ''VideoGame/DungeonsOfDredmor'': The Vampirism skill tree ability "Drinker of the Dead" allows you to eat the corpses of your fallen enemies, whether they be an Animal, Plant, Demon, Robot...you name it.
102	** The Tourism tree has a skill that lets you eat your items, too, with a chance of getting food poisoning which wears off after a few turns.
103	* The monsters in ''VideoGame/EtherSagaOdyssey'' eat a wide variety of food, including objects that don't appear to be inedible, such as Oil Pies, enhancement goods, weapons, armor, the list goes on.
104	** Sheep from the same game can be fed a [[ImAHumanitarian lamb leg]] [[CarnivoreConfusion from a wolf monster's drop.]]
105	* In ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'', the Heavy has an item called the Sandvich that he can eat to regain health, but he also has a metal version of it called the Robo-Sandvich that he can somehow eat without seriously injuring himself. He can also eat the Festive Sandvich without choking on the gift wrap, lights and ribbons.
106	* The surgeonfish summons in the BreakingOut game ''VideoGame/BricksOfAtlantis'' help the player by eating the otherwise unbreakable marble blocks.
107	* The Hungry Pumkin in ''VideoGame/PumkinLand'', who will happily chow down on bowls of rice, glasses of water and entire salt shakers (including the bowls, glasses and shakers themselves.)
108	* ''VideoGame/SpaceQuestVIRogerWilcoInTheSpinalFrontier'' has a WombLevel inside the body of Roger's latest crush, Stellar. Many of the items needed to solve the puzzles are random inedible items that she has swallowed, and there are others lying around that are just decoration and aren't part of any puzzles. At least the tooth filling and fingernail may have been swallowed accidentally but things like a feather, a staple, a paper clip, a screw, and a coin were definitely swallowed deliberately. This is lampshaded by the narrator, and also by Roger himself later when he lectures Stellar about her eating habits.
109	* [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes The Tazmanian Devil]] continues his eating habits in ''VideoGame/TazInEscapeFromMars'', where all power-ups get eaten by him. Along with food, shrinking potions (bottle and all) and containers of gasoline (for FireBreathingDiner power), there's also [[PoisonMushroom damaging power-ups]] like {{Cartoon Bomb}}s, bundles of dynamite and cakes with lit dynamite sticking out of them, all of them he'll happily gulp down if he so much as comes in contact with them without spinning into them to destroy them instead. He even eats the exit sign at the end of a level.
110	* ''VideoGame/KatamariDamacy'' has two examples for its surreal design. The first was in ''We Love Katamari'' where an up and coming sumo asks for your help to beat his opponents and you proceed to use HIM as your katamari. Though you can roll up anything in the level like normal(including things like plates, doors, and [[IAmAHumanitarian yes, the people running around in the level]]) he'll only get bigger by eating food items, which still crosses into this trope since entire vending machines are "food". The second is The King in ''Touch My Katamari'' where he wants the prince to make Katamaris for him to eat(to somehow lose weight apparently, and [[MST3KMantra make stars]] through an even more confusing process than the last times). Again, this will include at least ten dozen non-edible objects per level.
111	* Judging by what can be extracted from the dung piles in ''Lego Jurassic World'', dinosaurs will eat just about anything, including lawnmowers.
112	* ''VideoGame/NotTheRobots'' To progress, the player has to absorb enough fuel. Fuel in this case is any furniture lying around the abandoned office: plants, couches, monitors, desks.
113	* Pink Slimes in ''VideoGame/SlimeRancher''
114	* Due to a {{Good Bad Bug\|s}}[=/=]developer oversight in ''VideoGame/StardewValley'', [[PerkyGoth Abigail]] will react to any "liked" gift you give her with something along the lines of "Hey, how'd you know I was hungry? This looks delicious!" and this list of gifts include flowers and ''precious gemstones''. As of Patch 1.06 - which added a buttload of new spouse dialogue among other things, [[http://i.imgur.com/Nrctfhg.jpg this seems]] to have become something of an AscendedMeme.
115	* [[SandWorm Thresher maws]] in ''Franchise/MassEffect'' are gigantic worm-like creatures known for their ability to live almost anywhere and subsist on a diet of practically anything. Their codex entry states that they can eat both organic and inorganic matter, as well as absorb solar radiation. They're the apex predator on [[DeathWorld Tuchanka]] as well as all the many planets they've been accidentally introduced to.
116	* ''VideoGame/{{Scribblenauts}}'': In ''Super Scribblenauts'' and its two sequels, you can invoke this trope by using the adjective "edible" to make any object, animal or person you summon, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin edible]] and have another character eat it.
117	* ''VideoGame/{{Starcraft2LegacyOfTheVoid}}'': Dehaka in Co-Op mode can use his "Devour" ability to swallow ''any'' enemy unit in one gulp, even a city-cized mothership!
118	* ''VideoGame/TeenageZombiesInvasionOfTheAlienBrainThingys'': Finnigan "Fins" Magee is willing to eat more than just brains. In fact, whatever he eats grants him certain [[ZombiePukeAttack zombie puke powers]].
119	* ''VideoGame/MoshiMonsters'':
120	** Zack Binspin once happily eats a candle.
121	** Pixel-Munching Snafflers such as Iggy will eat anything from food to teapots to money to even cacti.
122	** One of the ghost pirates once randomly eats a key.
123	* When ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'' added taverns, a bug caused [=NPCs=] in Adventure Mode to drink anything in a mug the player handed them. This would've been a Type 1 example, but another, older bug allows players to fill mugs with anything -- the combined result being that [=NPCs=] would gleefully drink such things as vomit, whole watermelons, stacks of weapons, the corpses of their former friends, sacks full of cages full of animals, and ''[[{{Autocannibalism}} themselves]]''.
124	* ''VideoGame/Wizard101'': Gobbers are technically both types, as evidenced by the fact that they stockpile normal food in addition to eating buildings. WordOfGod [[JustifiedTrope justifies]] this, their home world is a LevelAte, and they're not smart enough to realize that Wizard City isn't.
125	* A core part of the gameplay in ''VideoGame/CreatureCrunch'' is that Wesley can eat items he's collected in order to transform into stuff capable of eliminating the monsters in his way, with most of the items being ones that aren't usually considered edible, such as a roll of toilet paper, a toy mouse and a litter box.
126	* A component of the TextbookHumor in ''VideoGame/{{Duolingo}}'' courses is to suggest eating something strange, both animals that aren't typically eaten but theoretically could be ("Luis eats spiders" or "The cook cooks a snake") and objects that can't be eaten at all ("A bed is food.")
127	* In ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' and its predecessor ''VideoGame/MadouMonogatari'', Carbuncle's appetite goes way beyond [[TrademarkFavoriteFood curry]] and other foodstuffs. In the "Schezo's Long Day" anime short, he took sword swallowing to a hilariously literal degree, having eaten Schezo's sword long before the animation takes place. In the end credits sequence for ''Madou Monogatari: The Final Test'', he even devours [[spoiler:an entire grocery store]]!
128	* In ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'', Susie is a BigEater in general, but on top of regular food, she's also eaten chalk, pine cones, possibly people's faces, and at Kris's house, drank some of their shampoo. Her room in the Dark World has a fridge that has, aside from actual food, things like blackened toaster crumbs, moss, and pieces of ice. She also ate the pencil Noelle lent to her because it looked like a candy cane.
129	* ''VideoGame/{{Wobbledogs}}'': Dogs eat any "edible" things, like fruits, vegetables, weird synthetic food, feces, baby teeth, or even deceased dogs.
130	* ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}'' has Grendel, a portly Warframe with a gaping {{Vacuum\|Mouth}} BellyMouth, and whose special ability is best described as "eat ''everything''." This includes enemies, NPC animals, health powerups, ammo refills, mods, enemy explosives, ores and crystals, mutated pieces of terrain, rocks, one-man fighter craft, priceless artifacts of bygone ages, and the people who made the priceless artifacts of bygone ages. If you can pick it up or damage it, Grendel can probably eat it. Even the game itself acknowledges it, as his personal tagline in the in-game encyclopedia is "Consumer of worlds and everything else."
