Basic Trope: The main villain dies via being consumed.
- Straight: Bob weakens Emperor Evulz, but fails to kill him. He instead sends out his pet dragon Moltrunner to devour Evulz.
- Exaggerated: Bob sends out Moltrunner on a job to eat every villain he sees.
- Downplayed: Moltrunner eats Emperor Evulz's arm, but does not kill him.
- Justified:
- Emperor Evulz says that no human being can kill him, so Bob has to send out Moltrunner to kill him.
- Emperor Evulz was previously Bullying a Dragon, and this simply shows the consequences of doing so.
- Inverted:
- Bob gets eaten by Emperor Evulz's pet dragon.
- Moltrunner gets eaten by Emperor Evulz.
- Subverted:
- Moltrunner devours Emperor Evulz, but five episodes later, Evulz announces that he has yet to die.
- Moltrunner throws up Emperor Evulz while chowing down on him, catapulting him offscreen and leaving him to his fate.
- Double Subverted:
- ...Then Moltrunner digests him 10 seconds later.
- ...But then he's eaten shortly afterwards.
- Parodied: Moltrunner sucks Emperor Evulz up through a straw.
- Zig-Zagged: Moltrunner eating Emperor Evulz happens every episode, because the latter inexplicably comes back after Moltrunner eats him in the next episode.
- Averted: Emperor Evulz is not eaten by Moltrunner.
- Enforced: "We can't have Bob killing anyone. Evulz has to be a Self-Disposing Villain." "How about a Disney Villain Death?" "Not dramatic enough. What if he gets eaten by a dragon?"
- Lampshaded: "Ah, my favorite way of disposing of a villain: having something eat him."
- Invoked: Alice and Bob come up with a plan to kill Emperor Evulz. Bob notices that their plan can't possibly do more than weaken Evulz, so Alice suggests sending in Moltrunner to eat him. Bob agrees on the idea.
- Exploited: When Moltrunner eats Emperor Evulz, Evulz stabs him from the inside.
- Defied: Moltrunner is Allergic to Evil, and can't eat Emperor Evulz.
- Discussed:Emperor Evulz: Hahaha! I've got you right where I want you! Any last words?
Bob: Why, yes. [pulls out dinner bell and rings it] Moltrunner! Dinner's ready!
Emperor Evulz: What in the name of hell are you ta- [Moltrunner flies into the scene] Oh, Crap!. [Gets eaten by Moltrunner] - Conversed: ???
- Implied: Evulz is last seen being chased away by Moltrunner, but it's never specified if he was eaten or not.
- Played For Laughs: Evulz desperately tries to calm the dragon with "nice dragon" before getting eaten.
- Played For Horror: Evulz is graphically mauled by Moltrunner while being Eaten Alive.
