* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'' has Bundt, a living wedding cake that inexplicably comes to life after the main party crashed the reception to rescue Princess Peach. The chefs who made the thing are every bit as surprised as you are.
* In ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga'', the bros have to fight the Chuckolator, a monster made of living cola that grows stronger whenever it's told jokes. It's an interesting set up for a boss battle, that's for sure.
* ''VideoGame/BurgerTime'' has the poor burger chef menaced by giant hot dogs, eggs, and pickle chips. Their slightest touch is instant death.

* Sokka has a nightmare about this in an episode of ''Westernanimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' and is terrified it might come true.
* In one episode of the 1993 ''WesternAnimation/SecretSquirrel'' revival ''Super Secret Secret Squirrel'', the antagonist is a living gingerbread man named Greg with a grudge against children since his leg was bitten off by a hungry child.

Unfortunately for Greg, RealityEnsues since the golem is still ultimately made out of candy -- Secret and Morocco defeat it simply by ''eating'' it.
* An the "Black Hole" episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'', Cadet Stimpy serves Commander Hoek a nice, stinky head of Space Cabbage while they are lost in the titular hole.

* Everytime an animal is able to eat the meat of a predator that would normally hunt said animal.
** The most common example may be a scavenger finding the dead body of a bigger predator.
** Another example includes a human and a predatory animal, since with weapons, a human can easily kill for example a lion, but without, the lion will most likely kill the human.
