* Twice in ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', enemies suffer from trying to consume Nemu Kurotsuchi. First is Szayelaporro, whose use of Nemu to grow a new body for himself exposes him to drugs that Mayuri kept inside her- most notably, one that causes AndIMustScream. Second is [[spoiler:Pernida, who consumes her remains to gain her powers, but is Mayuri prevents him from consuming her brain. Nemu's brain serves as a control for her incredibly aggressive HealingFactor, so without it, her regeneration takes over Pernida's entire body and turns it into a mass of cancer.]]

** Envy is temporarily reduced to a small slug-like creature, and then gets eaten by one of [[spoiler:Father's zombie-like mannequins. Only to take control of the mannequin and fuse with a room-full of other mannequins and use them to reconstitute their old body.]]

** [[spoiler:Touma]] is infected with St. Germain, a virus that normally converts its victims into copies of St. Germain. The virus is kept at bay by [[spoiler:his AntiMagic right hand]], but [[spoiler:Touma]] still suffers from the infection. Later, he manages to ''talk St. Germain into working with him'', and while this doesn't stop the negative effects of the infection, it allows the two to work together to beat the arc villain. In the end, [[spoiler:St. Germain decides to [[HeroicSacrifice kill himself]] to save Touma's life.]]

* A serious variation appears in ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis''. A couple of Darkseid's henchmen capture ComicBook/{{Batman}} and try to extract his memories in order to implant them in a clone army. Trouble is these memories are so traumatic ([[BellisariosMaxim just roll with it]]) that they short-circuit said clones. Later, when Superman asks Darkseid why he chose to possess Dan Turpin instead of Batman when he'd both of them captive, Darkseid answers that Batman would've resisted him far too long while Turpin resisted Darkseid long enough to eventually submit to his will.

** In the last issue of ''Deadpool Team-Up'', Galactus makes Wade his newest Herald after Wade sees an ad for the position in the classifieds. Though Wade does a good job as a Herald, [[MotorMouth his incessant chatter]] drives the mighty planet devouring entity nuts. Galactus is saved when the ComicBook/SilverSurfer arrives and beats the Power Cosmic out of Wade.

* ''ComicBook/StarTrekIDW'': [[spoiler:Spock turns out to be much harder to assimilate, thanks to his nature as a Vulcan-human hybrid, and eventually breaks free through reliving the memory of his mother's death.]]

** In the third issue of her [[ComicBook/Supergirl1972 first solo book]], a giant, mutant carnivorous plant tries to swallow ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} whole but it quickly spits her out because it can't bite through her indestructible skin.

* In one ''ComicBook/WhatIf'' story, Mephisto tries to claim the soul of the ComicBook/SilverSurfer. It backfires when the IncorruptiblePurePureness of the Surfer's soul manifests as [[HolyBurnsEvil a brilliant light that burns Mephisto]]. Since the Surfer already agreed to spend eternity in hell, Mephisto will burn ''forever''. In this case, Surfer isn't too powerful or too evil for Mephisto -- he's too ''good''. Ironically, that's exactly why Mephisto wants the Surfer in hell in the first place, since he doesn't like seeing someone so good in the universe.

** Mephisto also encountered difficulties when he attempted to consume ComicBook/{{Cloak and Dagger|MarvelComics}} as he had done to a neo-Nazi {{mook|s}}. More specifically, it was Cloak who proved indigestible when his cape blistered the inside of Mephisto's stomach. The duo were promptly spit out as Mephisto complained that Cloak tasted of "another demon's prior claim."
* In her original series, ComicBook/HarleyQuinn is exiled from Hell due to her focus on joy and love. Later on, in ''Harley Quinn's Little Black Book'', Harley makes a DealWithTheDevil, which means she has to stay in Hell for 30 days, but gets sent back to Earth before the first day is up because she's too annoying.

* In ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'', Shelob (a borderline EldritchAbomination in the form of a GiantSpider) finds Gollum absolutely inedible, despite the fact that she'll eat almost anything else, up to and including orc. But then, she's never tried to eat anyone that's been corrupted for decades by [[ArtifactOfDoom the One Ring]]. Consequently, Gollum is able to convince Shelob to spare him - so long as he brings her more edible beings to feast on, [[spoiler:like hobbits...]]

* In ''VideoGame/ArmoredCoreVIFiresOfRubicon'', [[spoiler:the support network AI [[AIIsACrapshoot ALLMIND]] reveals itself to be the game's hidden villain as it enacts a plan to force a FusionDance between humanity and [[StarfishAliens Coral]]. It subsumes the minds of the many dead on the way to the plan's end and intends to do the same to both 621 and Ayre after they've outlived their usefulness. Unfortunately for it, G5 Iguazu had developed a bitter one-sided rivalry with 621 and breaks out from ALLMIND's hold with ThePowerOfHate to overtake the AI and derail the entire plan for a DuelToTheDeath.]]

** The premise of the CCC event involved one of the escaped Demons from the Arc 1 finale coming to a remote oil rig/covert magical experimentation facility and hiding inside [[spoiler:the staff psychiatrist, Kiara Sessyoin]]. While he was initially able to control them without issue, the demon made the spectacularly unwise decision to try and flip through every version of their psyche, including the one where they [[spoiler:served as the final boss of CCC, as Kiara consumed multiple bosses in that timeline.]] After that, the demon gradually lost control, gradually becoming less and less able to influence his host, eventually becoming nothing more than a stray thought in the body he was "possessing," and ended up begging first to be released, then for his life as [[spoiler:Kiara]] absorbed what was left of his ego, leaving them in complete control of their own body and full of memories from a timeline where they recklessly and destructively pursued their own pleasure, and full of enough demonic power to repeat that same hedonistic ambition.

* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}: Feeding a Pokémon Herbal medicine lowers its friendship because of how bitter it is, even if the Pokémon has a nature such as Careful which are supposed to prefer bitter flavors.

* In the ''WebAnimation/HandsUpJoelG'' episode "Rhythm N' Ambush", Margo, after having her inital attempt at luring a monster into a trap go awry, she tries to seduce it instead, even flashing it in the process. The monster sniffs her thighs, then immediately vomits in disgust. [[NotGoodWithRejection Margo doesn't take it too well, to put it nicely]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda3'', the BigBad Kai tries to absorb the [[LifeEnergy chi]] of the Dragon Warrior. Po tries to fight him and even uses the Wuxi Finger Hold, the same method he used on Tai Lung in [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda the first film]], but Kai is a spirit and the Finger Hold only works on mortals. Po then [[spoiler:grabs onto Kai and uses the move on himself to send them both to the spirit realm. After Po's friends and loved ones send their energy to Po, he attains his potential as the Dragon Warrior. When Kai still tries to steal his chi, Po gives it to him... [[GoingToGiveItMoreEnergy all of it]]. Kai is [[PhlebotinumOverload unable to handle it all and explodes]]]].

* In ''Fanfic/TheWeaverOption'' Duradin Slayer Borek sings while he fights... badly. So badly that ''Slaaneshi daemons'' can't stand it.

* Two men have survived a sinking ship. One looks on in horror as a shark barrels up to his mate. The shark takes a sniff, recoils in disgust, and swims quickly away. The other guy asks, incredulously, what just happened. The man refused by the shark shrugs, and reveals that he has ''Stockport County Will Win The F.A. Cup!'' [[note]] Insert name of extremely lowly crap team and highly improbable sporting achievement of choice here[[/note]] tattooed on his chest.

* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}: Feeding a Pokémon Herbal medicine lowers its friendship because of how bitter it is, even if the Pokémon has a nature such as Careful which are supposed to prefer bitter tastes.

* In one ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' story, a group of evil EmotionEaters who feed on people's guilt and self-loathing try to feed on Rudy Zoom, an unusually benign HeroicComedicSociopath (he's wealthy enough to buy anything he wants, and too lacking in actual malice to hurt people for fun). His invincible self-satisfaction and amorality end up poisoning them.

His invincible self-satisfaction and amorality end up poisoning them.

* Famously, after seeing him get swallowed up by the Sarlacc in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', nobody was expecting Boba Fett to turn up, apparently unscathed, in Expanded Universe novels and comics. He just claimed the massive creature found him "indigestible", though it is much later revealed he certainly didn't escape without consequences.

* Not a traditional example but still in the spirit of the trope, in ''Never Trust a Dead Man'' by Vivian Vande Velde, the protagonist obtains aid from a witch in clearing his name of murder by promising her years of servitude after he finishes his mission. He initially offers just a single year, but as the story progresses he needs to request additional spells multiple times at steep prices, and consequently racks up around a decade of indentured servitude. However, after he clears his name, the witch releases him from his debt, claiming that he'd be so miserable to be stuck for so long that he'd just be unpleasant for ''her'' to keep around! In return, the surprised protagonist gratefully offers her a single year of willing service, saying he couldn't begrudge her that much after all of her help.

** BigEater [[CatGirl Tao]] (who attempts/considers eating various other characters in story mode) also chooses not to eat Arakune on the grounds of how disgusting [[TheNicknamer Black Squiggly]] looks.

* In one story, Franchise/{{Lobo}} dies. The story ends with Lobo back among the living and Heaven and Hell making him immortal for everything he did. Okay, his rampage that devastated Heaven was justified, after they reincarnated him as a squirrel and he died squished by his own corpse dying his original death (it wasn't on purpose), but everything he did before that wasn't.

* In ''ComicBook/OriginalSin'', BigBad [[spoiler:Dr. Midas]] has gotten hold of one of the eyes of the now-deceased Watcher, containing untold secrets of the Marvel Universe. After a while, he feels utter shame discomfort and just wants to get rid of the damn thing!

* ''Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxyTrilogy'' had Marvin connect himself to a police ship AI so they could have a chat. The AI, upon learning Marvin's view of life, the universe, and everything, terminated itself and took the policemen shooting at the others with it.
** The same thing happened when Marvin connected himself to a bridge to open it to the public.
** [[RunningGag This habit of Marvin's]] is used as a weapon in TheMovie. By using the Point Of View Gun, Marvin makes all the Vogons collapse from depression.
** [[OlderThanTheyThink This goes all the way back to the radio series,]] when Marvin was tasked with keeping some {{Mooks}} prisoner, he simply had them listen to his autobiography on tape. [[GoMadFromTheRevelation They can be heard screaming in the background.]]

* In an episode of ''Series/RedDwarf'', Lister is swallowed whole by a shark while in an AR machine. The shark soon spits him back out before sticking its tongue out and going "bleh!". Guess it didn't like [[TrademarkFavoriteFood curry vindaloo]].

* ''VideoGame/Doom64'': In the UpdatedRerelease, it's revealed that Hell tried to teleport Doomguy back to Earth because of [OneManArmy the havoc and destruction he was wreaking there]]. He just [[ToHellAndBack fights his way back in again]].
