* [[SiblingsInCrime Kinkaku and Ginkaku]] of Manga/{{Naruto}} seem to have had this plan. Two warriors of Kumogakure, who engaged the Kyuubi in battle long ago. We find they were eaten by the Kyuubi. Looking at some panels in the manga, it looks as if they basically went into his mouth on their own. While inside, they ate the meat of his stomach for two weeks before the creature regurgitated them. This event allowing them to acquire some of it's chakra for themselves, which allows them to dawn a bijuu shroud like that of a Jinchuriki, though we only got to see Kinkaku use his.

* In ''Anime/DigimonTheMovie'', Magnamon and Rapidmon let Cherubimon swallow them so they can attack the virus within it. Though this only happens in the Dub. In the original, Cherubimon tricked them into thinking they beat him, but instead materialized behind them and munched them. However a nose variation was used by War Greymon to finish off Metal Seadramon, even cooler though is that he deflected another attack to this.

* In ''Literature/CarpeJugulum'', witch Granny Weatherwax turns the tables on a family of vampires by deliberately offering them her blood. It's not so much a case of Granny becoming a vampire, as of the unwary vampires drinking the blood of the most powerful witch on the Disc and absorbing something of her essence. This can only end badly. For a clan of vampires who now manifest a ferocious craving for hot sweet tea, Granny's belief in vampire weaknesses, and a complete inability to admit they have a problem.

* ''Series/WaltDisneyPresents'' episode "Mars and Beyond". One segment about the plant men in Creator/EdgarRiceBurroughs' Literature/{{Barsoom}} stories has a bird drop an egg on the plant man's head. The plant man swallows it, then a baby bird with a saw-beak cuts its way out.

* In the eleventh ''{{LightNovel/Slayers}}'' light novel (not yet translated to English, unfortunately), Aria lets the Bell-Doolgofa chimera kill her so that it will absorb her pacifism, causing it to stop fighting.

* Inverted somewhat in ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': The Scoobies are fighting against a demon that can possess corpses. So, Angel lets the demon enter ''his'' body and ''[[EnemyWithin Angelus]]'' destroys the intruder in a matter of seconds.
* ''Series/DoctorWho'': In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E1SmithAndJones "Smith and Jones"]], the Doctor lets an alien absorb his genetic code (by drinking his blood through a straw!) so that it will show up as non-human on the Judoon scanners (it was drinking human blood to fool them).

* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' introduced several instances (including Future!Janeway in the finale) involving people letting themselves be assimilated in order to transmit anti-Borg viruses into the Collective.

* In ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency'', Joseph Joestar lets Santana partially absorb him so he can activate his ripple inside Santana's body, bypassing Santana's impervious skin.

* In ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'', this strategy is used to destroy the planet-eating Doomsday Machine, by self-destructing a ship just as the machine swallows it.

* In ''Manga/InuYasha'', Naraku feigns [[BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame being beaten at his own]] [[TheAssimilator game]] and lets himself be absorbed by Moryomaru when Moryomaru tries to prove that he has surpassed him. Naraku promptly regenerates inside Moryomaru, removes his core, and then assimilates him. Probably shouldn't have assimilated the guy who came up with the idea to assimilate people in the first place, Moryomaru.
