** Discworld Trolls do this as they get older and, since they grow all their lives and are pretty much indestructible, bigger. Once a troll get's very old it decides to go to some remote area and have a 'think' about life. The thinking get's so intense leaves the troll in a semi-dormant nearly dead state of slumber (they aren't that bright you see), meaning that many of the hills and mountains on the Disk are actually trolls that went off for the 'big think' and have stayed laying there for what is sometimes millenniums. This is also the cause of much of the historical conflicts between Dwarfs and Trolls, Dwarfs being small humanoid creatures that smash open rocks to extract valuable minerals and Trolls basically being large walking rocks with valuable minerals inside. As the book says, it is hard to have decent relations with someone who just 'quarried' your great great great great great grandfather while he was out 'thinking'...

[[AC:{{Comics}}]]
* One comic of ConanTheBarbarian had a rather literal example of this. In his efforts to steal two strangely eye-like (yet angled) gems from a greedy merchant, Conan and the merchant both go chasing after the gems when they start flying through the air, leading them through a strangely mouth-like cave (with irregular sets of "teeth" set the whole way through) to a large central chamber that is covered with deep piles of gemstones. The merchant immediately dives into the mixed array of rubies, diamonds, sapphires, emeralds and other gems, noting that it's extremely strange to see so many different types of gem in the same place, but too blinded by greed to care. Conan is more cautious, and thusly he survives when it turns out they're in the stomach/throat of some kind of mountainous earth elemental. The merchant is devoured.
