7	%%
8	* ''VideoGame/The3DBattlesOfWorldRunner'' has the Venus Die Trap. Despite the PunnyName, it looks more like a pitcher plant.
9	* ''VideoGame/AgeOfMythology'': the "Carnivora" God Power allows you to summon vicious plants to protect an area, whose special attack is to grab a nearby soldier and [[SwallowedWhole swallow him, whole and alive]]. [[ShoutOut The name for them in the coding is]] [[Film/LittleShopOfHorrors "audrey"]].
10	* ''VideoGame/{{Albion}}'': They serve as dungeon traps in the first act, although since all you can see of them are their mouths (and in some cases arms with glowing orbs used to attract insects) it's hard to tell if they are actually plants or animals. [[spoiler: Turns out they are specialized organs of the dungeon wich itself is a huge living organism.]] You can feed the large ones with meat so they won't eat you. The small ones with the arms can be temporarily put to sleep with a special fruit, or by putting out the lights.
11	* ''VideoGame/AmericanMcGeesAlice'': There are the Evil Mushrooms which try their best to eat Alice, so they fill the role.
12	* ''VideoGame/AngryBirds2'': Some stages feature plants that will swallow anything that touches them, including birds.
13	* ''VideoGame/{{Apocryph}}'' has killer plants with fanged heads popping from underground regularly menacing you. Unlike most games where these enemy types are usually immobile, here the killer plants are ridiculously fast - slinking underground if left idle, and re-emerging in just a couple of second near you.
14	* ''VideoGame/ArabianMagic'' has red and blue flytrap heads growing off the ground on the island stages, who can extend their vine-like necks to chomp on the players.
15	* ''VideoGame/ArcanaHeart'': One of the attacks of [[GreenThumb Moriomoto, the Arcana of Nature]], has the Maiden using him throw seeds that will grow into these when her opponent goes near them.
16	* ''VideoGame/AstroMarineCorps'': There are certain places that have to be jumped over to avoid plants that will come up out of the ground and eat you.
17	* ''VideoGame/{{Aztec}}'', an early '80s Apple game from Datamost, features your AdventurerArchaeologist go up against a GiantSpider, Aztec warriors and jaguars. But the most memorable and toughest to kill monster was the "Eggplant". This was a carnivorous plant that looked like a giant clam with tentacles coming out of it. The player had to chop it section by section with his machete or blow it up with dynamite. The pistol was only effective at shooting out the clam-shaped mouth.
18	* ''VideoGame/BarnyardBlast'': One of the bosses is a giant green {{Planimal}} TRexpy with an Audrey-like head full of fangs, who will spend the whole battle trying to chomp on the hero. It can also release BulletSeed projectiles that rolls from one side of the screen to another.
19	* ''VideoGame/BattleCircuit'' has the Alien Green enemies resembling sentient flytraps that chomps on the players, and can even turn players into eggs.
20	* ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'': Poison Ivy commands one of these on steroids (or Titan, rather) to kill Batman in her boss battle. If we turn back the clock to the 90's, the SNES game ''Adventures of Batman & Robin'' did the same. The later ''VideoGame/BatmanVengeance'' proved that they don't have to be ''big'' in order to be menacing--part of Ivy's plan there involved extorting Mayor Hill, among others, in exchange for "plant food" to feed the plants in their stomachs. If he doesn't pay up, the man explains, "[[BodyHorror it starts looking for something else to eat.]]" She then turns the whole of Gotham Chemicals into a veritable man-eating jungle.
21	%%* ''VideoGame/{{Battletoads}}'' has Saturn Toadtraps.
22	* ''VideoGame/BionicCommando'' has a nasty version in one zone, that manages to ''pop out of the ground'', with only a slight rustling to notify you of when you're about to be eaten.
23	* ''VideoGame/BigKarnak'' has a giant pitcher plant monster serving as a boss. Who can summon smaller copies of itself as backup and for some inexplicable reason, breath '''fire'''.
24	* ''VideoGame/BloodlineChampions'': The Thorn is implied to do this, as nothing is ever found of their presumed victims that go missing aside from an torn article of clothing.
25	* ''VideoGame/BrainDead13'': If Lance clings onto the hilt of the Giant Statue's trident for too long, he'll get flung into the jaws of a yellow, vile plant that can swallow him in a gulp in one death scene.
26	* ''VideoGame/{{Bug\|1995}}'' has Venus flytraps (in the ice world, for some reason) and they will eat the character. Subverted, because they're non-lethal and will spit him onto another platform, and also because your character's a bug. Played partially straight in the sequel -- staying in a Venus flytrap for too long will get the character killed.
27	* ''VideoGame/BugFables'' has a few of these in the form of the Chomper enemies, an OptionalBoss pitcher plant called the Devourer, and [[spoiler: an adorable baby Chomper who can serve as an OptionalPartyMember]]. Considering that the game follows the adventures of bugs, these are just normal carnivorous plants, but seen through miniature eyes.
28	* ''VideoGame/{{Bulletstorm}}'': Lashing a guy into the range of a giant Venus flytrap is yet another skillshot. There's also a giant version that serves as a boss.
29	* ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' has the Une and Maneater. While they attack you through CollisionDamage and projectile-vomited skulls, respectively, the latter is the product of the former once it's consumed enough human blood.
30	* ''VideoGame/CityOfVillains'': Plant Dominators get a large mobile Fly Trap as their pet at level 32. It follows the summoner and attacks his foes using some of the same powers as the summoner has.
31	* ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'': There are many bandicoot-eating plants, many of them look very similar to Audrey 2 and often after eating Crash will then [[SpitOutAShoe spit out his clothing]].
32	* ''VideoGame/CriminalCasePacificBay'': In "The Root of All Evil", the victim is killed via getting fed to a giant carnivorous plant.
33	* ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}'': [[FoulFlower Cagney Carnation]] creates these using seeds that he fires like a machine gun, in both ground and flying variations. Several much larger ones appear in Forest Follies, jumping up from {{bottomless pits}} to try to chomp on Cuphead and Mugman.
34	* ''VideoGame/DefaultDan'' DOES have plants that eat Dan. However, rather than damage him, the plants are warp pads that Dan can use.
35	* ''VideoGame/DemonFront'': Man-eating plants shows up as flunkies of the Devil Heart boss. The variant includes pitcher plants who chomps on the players, flowers that fire projectiles, and giant vines.
36	* While the film doesn't have any hostile, human-devouring plant monsters, the Nintendo DS video game tie-in to ''Anime/DoraemonNobitaAndTheGreenGiantLegend'' does contain gigantic pink man-eating plants as enemies.
37	* In the ''VideoGame/DontStarve'' Hamlet DLC, Snaptooth Seedlings and Snaptooth Flytraps will attack most characters on sight, except for [[PlantPerson Wormwood]], who they will leave alone unless he is carrying meat, indicating that they are hunting for meat rather than being territorial.
38	* ''VideoGame/DungeonMagic'' has living sentient flytraps as enemies in the jungle stage, crawling on vines and using their heads to lash out and chew on the heroes.
39	* ''VideoGame/EndlessSpace'': One of the planetary conditions is "Hellgourds" that in addition to attacking people, can be made into delicious candies. An [[MechanicalLifeform Automaton]] {{Hero\|Unit}} had head bitten off by a Hellgourd; luckily, he had a [[CranialProcessingUnit wireless transmitter in his head]].
40	-->''"There are two risks when colonizing this planet, then, aggressive foliage [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and tooth decay]]."''
41	* ''VideoGame/EvilGenius'' has the Venus Man Trap, which you can research. While it doesn't outright kill agents, it does take a big bite out of their health. There's even a sign next to it saying "Do Not Feed." The agents are obviously illiterate.
42	* ''VideoGame/ExtrapowerStarResistance'' has two in the [[PhantomZone Ghost Gate dimension]]: what can only be described as a carnivorous square of dead grass, and a large flower with tooth-lined petals and a human face in the middle.
43	* ''VideoGame/{{Fairune}}'' has the mid-game mook Maneater, an ambulatory pitcher plant.
44	* ''VideoGame/FallenLondon'': The "Attending to the needs of a singular plant" storyline starts off as an ordinary plant; later, you can feed rats and such to it; even later, you can start luring people to be eaten by it.
45	* ''Videogame/{{Fallout}}'': In ''Videogame/Fallout2'' there are spore plants, which both try to take a bite out of you and shoot you with seeds. More of an early level nuisance than an actual danger. One of these is also sentient, he's [[ShoutOut named Seymour]]. These return in ''Videogame/FalloutNewVegas''; the only thing to look out is that they are usually inactive and don't show up on your HUD radar until they wake up (though can still be detected by pressing the VATS button repeatedly while pointing at their direction). Still, they are a minimal threat since their acid spit does low damage, woefully innacurate, and can be easily dodged. They are found in Vault 22, Zion Canyon, and Big MT. There is a boss version called Dionaea Muscipula.
46	* ''VideoGame/FantasyLife'' has living carrots, radishes and ginger plants. They're fortunately among the weakest enemies in the game.
47	* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'': [[DemonicSpiders Malboros]] usually just hit you with their [[StatusInflictionAttack Bad Breath]], but aren't above chewing on people once they're out of the player's control.
48	* ''VideoGame/GemsOfWar'': The Swamplash unit is an unpleasant-looking mass of twisting tendrils that form a sort of mouth, wrapped in giant petals.
49	* ''VideoGame/GeminiWing'' has giant Venus flytrap heads in the valley stages, several times larger than your ship which attempts to chomp you as you pass. They're among the few enemies which are entirely invincible, and you can only fly past them instead of blowing them up.
50	* ''VideoGame/Ghost10'': The boss of the Greenhouse sector is a giant cybernetic plant resembling a venus flytrap. It will try to bite Ghost if she gets too close to it, though it has plenty of other ways to attack if she keeps her distance.
51	%%* ''VideoGame/Ghostbusters1990'': Insect Trapper, a boss, is [[Film/LittleShopOfHorrors basically the ghost of Audrey II]].
52	* ''VideoGame/GoosebumpsNightOfScares'': Dr. Brewer's basement is filled with man-eating pitcher plants as the primary plant-based threat. In addition to lily-pads which can sink you into a piranha pool.
53	* ''VideoGame/HollowKnight'': Fool Eaters are carnivorous plants, consisting chiefly of a set of leafy jaws attached directly to their roots, that hide in the dense foliage of the Greenpath and the Queen's Gardens and wait for unwary creatures to pass above their maws. Played with in that these aren't actually any larger than a real-life flytrap -- but, to the game's bug-sized characters, that's plenty big enough.
54	* ''VideoGame/HolyUmbrella'': One of Dondera Magoon's attacks is to summon two of these to come after you from opposite sides of the screen.
55	* ''VideoGame/Hugo2Whodunit'' features a field of Venus Flytraps... of an entirely ordinary and realistic size. But [[EverythingTryingToKillYou you still die if you touch them]].
56	* Variant in ''VideoGame/TheHungryFly'', a first-person game where you're... the titular fly. In the wilderness. From your perspective, a normal Venus flytrap looks like the classic depictions of man-eating plants.
57	* In ''VideoGame/IWasATeenageExocolonist'', one Boss Event in the Colony Outskirts has Sol finding a seemingly safe flower to take back to the colony. Unless Sol has enough skill in Animals to know how dangerous it actually is, the flower reveals itself to be a carnivorous plant that tries eating them should they try plucking it out of the ground. Thankfully, a "mysterious stranger" rescues them at the last moment.
58	* ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxterThePrecursorLegacy'':
59	** The boss of the Forbidden Temple is a gigantic, monstrous plant with eyes, a bulb-like mouth and mobile, tentacle-like vines. It will eat the player character if it succeeds in biting him at one point of health.
60	** There is a variation - the [[VideoGame/CrashBandicoot Crash-eating plant]] - in Samos' hut. It won't harm you.
61	* ''VideoGame/JoeAndMac'' has Venus flytrap-like plants that lunge and spit poisonous seeds. The Stage 2 boss is a super-sized KingMook version of these which can grab and eat you, which is an instant kill.
62	* ''VideoGame/KaoTheKangarooRound2'': These show up as enemies. They've got teeth and a tongue, and if they catch Kao, they chew him up and spit him back out. They can be defeated by rolling under their head and punching them in the stem.
63	* ''VideoGame/KameoElementsOfPower'': One of the Elemental Warriors, Snare, is a giant, acid-spitting Venus Flytrap who can scoop up trolls, spit them out, and, predicatbly, devour them whole.
64	* ''Videogame/KingdomOfLoathing'' has an Audrey II {{Expy}} in the Haunted Conservatory, a plant with a meat stack lure in the Spooky Forest, Neptune flytraps at the bottom of the sea, several species of algae, and carnivorous dill plants (the last may just be haunted by carnivorous spirits, however). All will try to eat you. All told, there are over twenty-five plants as of 2013 which may try to ''kill'' you; these are just the ones which are definitely trying to ''eat'' you when they're done.
65	* ''VideoGame/KingsQuest'':
66	** ''VideoGame/KingsQuestVAbsenceMakesTheHeartGoYonder'' has plants that can eat you in the evil forest.
67	** ''VideoGame/KingsQuestVIIThePrincelessBride'' has an AffablyEvil one outside the gate to Ooga Booga Land, who is also a MultipleHeadCase. Rosella needs to distract it with something edible to be able to pick the flower growing right next to it.
68	* Ow-Gows from ''VideoGame/Klonoa2LunateasVeil'' are giant, toothy plants that lunge out of the walls in La-Lakoosha at regular intervals. The only way to pass is to feed them a [[TheGoomba Moo]].
69	* ''VideoGame/KnightBewitched'': The boss of the Underbog is named Man-Eating Plant, and is a larger version of the fly-traps that you've seen on the bog. In Typhus's lair, there's an upgraded version called the Life Eater.
70	* ''VideoGame/KrutTheMythicWings'' has giant pitcher-plant heads in the forest levels who attacks by snapping and chomping at you when you're near.
71	* ''VideoGame/LeatherGoddessesOfPhobos'': When the player visits Venus s/he has to deal with a giant mobile Flytrap.
72	* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' series features a few:
73	** Peahats and Leevers are plants that have been trying to kill you since the very first game.
74	** Manhandla, a recurring boss, is a large mobile plant with four radially-arranged snapping mouths, which moves around its boss arenas while trying to snap up Link.
75	** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'' features the Snapdragon, which is something like a daikon radish with legs and a big, toothy maw.
76	** Deku Babas, which first appeared in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'', have since become the franchise's most common Man-Eating Plants. They have most of the features of cartoonish carnivorous botany -- a mouthlike "bulb" with animal teeth and a clear tongue, minimal presence of actual leaves and a tendency to lunge and snap at people passing close. Several varieties appear, including Baba Serpents that can survive having their stems severed and will chase after Link like snakes if cut.
77	** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'': The Boko Baba, a variant of the Deku Baba proper, is the "small" version; Kalle Demos, though, is a really big ''Korok''-eating plant.
78	** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'': Besides Deku Babas and Baba Serpents, the enormous Twilit Parasite Diababa appears as the boss of the Forest Temple.
79	** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'': Deku Babas return again, along with the tougher Quadro Babas.
80	** ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'': Deku Babas spew a circle of poison to protect themselves and hinder characters.
81	** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'': There are several plants in the Woodfall Temple, which float on water like very flat lotus flowers with a tiny, thin row of teeth along the edge and an eye in the middle. Deku Link can use them as platforms to jump across, but if Link climbs on in his regular form, it will close on him, chew him up, and spit him back out. They turn into normal, non-carnivorous flowers when the water is purified.
82	** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening'': In some dungeon basements, [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Piranha Plants]] appear as enemies, even popping out of pipes like they do in their games of origin. Link can defeat them easily with his sword.
83	* ''VideoGame/LostLandAdventure'', bafflingly enough, has a giant plant as a boss in the Antarctic stage, which attacks with numerous man-eating plant heads lashing out on the player. After gunning down the lesser heads, the player needs to defeat the three largest heads before the boss goes down.
84	* ''VideoGame/MagicalStarsign'': The Holy Sapling turns into a flower after your party whacks it; this flower is noteworthy because it can create one of the Millennium Gummies you need to pursue the BigBad. It has to consume a person to do this, however; cue the TearJerker as Semolina offers herself up.
85	* There's a video game called ''VideoGame/ManEatingPlant''... where you ''play as one'' yourself. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3Cl5KxWGOM Yes, really]].
86	* ''VideoGame/ManiacMansion'': One room contains a pot with a small one. In order to use it to climb to a hatch in the ceiling above it, you need to make it grow by feeding it [[spoiler:radioactive water]], but it will keep snapping until you feed it [[spoiler:the can of Pepsi]]. The fully-grown plant can also be used to dispose of [[spoiler:the [[ManBehindTheMan Meteor]]]] in the endgame.
87	* ''Franchise/MassEffect'': It's noted in the in-game codex that most remaining plant life on [[DeathWorld Tuchanka]] is carnivorous, although none actually appear in any of the games.
88	* ''VideoGame/MetalMax'': As a result of Noah/NOA tampering with post-nuclear apocalypse ecology and having a big hate-on for humanity, man-eating plants are commonplace in the series. These include mutant Daikons that can inflict huge damage to you with a single bite.
89	* ''VideoGame/MetalSlug'' also has its share of man eating plants- even their ''seeds'' can eat you. Apparently an experiment of the Rebellion Army GoneHorriblyWrong. Bonus points for these having the official name of "Man Eater".
90	* ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'':
91	%%** ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime'': The Flaahgra boss is a giant Phazon-mutated plant.%%And?
92	** ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'': There are large carnivorous flowers. If Samus falls into one's "mouth", it grabs hold of her and deals some damage. To drive the point home even further, their actual name is ''"Samus Eater."''
93	** ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'': Samus is fighting off a horde of [[WickedWasps Reos]] while exploring Sector 1, when she witnesses one of them fly too close to a Gripper plant, which suddenly springs to life and devours it. From that point onwards, the Grippers become recurring enemies in the area, snapping at Samus when she approaches them, but can be easily destroyed with a couple of shots.
94	* ''VideoGame/{{Miitopia}}'' has the Mars Mii Trap, enormous flowers that can gobble Miis up. Thankfully, when defeated, the Miis are left injury-free.
95	* ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterPC'': Man-eating plants are TheGoomba, resembling a humanoid Venus flytrap that looks a lot like [[Film/LittleShopOfHorrors Audrey]]. They're the first of several monsters encountered, are slow and sluggish, and can be easily killed by weedsprays.
96	* ''VideoGame/MonsterMaulers'': The MiniBoss Spider Wort is an enormous hostile jungle plant that dangles from the top of the screen, wields its stamen like a whip and also attacks by swallowing characters and spitting them out. Its {{flunk\|yBoss}}ies, the Snake Heads, are Venus Flytrap-like things on legs, though they're not large enough to do more than bite.
97	* ''VideoGame/MonsterEye'' has plants being affected by the virus from the mysterious crystal as well, causing several areas to be overgrown with vegetation sprouting sentient Venus Flytrap heads which will snap at you. There's also a ''giant'' Rafflesia with fangs serving as a boss, which will try to swallow you alive.
98	* ''VideoGame/MonsterParty'': The first boss is a plant enemy that says "Hello! Baby!" and looks sort of like Audrey II. In the Japanese beta version, it looked much more like Audrey II, and even had a microphone and speaker next to it (which actually remained in the game in a DummiedOut phantom form).
99	* ''VideoGame/MystIIIExile'': A ''bird''-eating plant features prominently in the Edana segment.
100	* The Orgamech infestation in ''VideoGame/NanoBreaker'' affects even plants, with the first boss being a giant Venus Flytrap growing out a pit who repeatedly tries chomping on you.
101	* ''VideoGame/NancyDrew'': Nancy can get eaten by one if she gets too close in ''Curse of Blackmoor Manor''.
102	* ''VideoGame/TheNeverhood'': There are two puzzles involving these. In the second, [[spoiler:you have to be eaten by it]].
103	* ''VideoGame/NinjaCommando'' has giant fanged plants in the prehistoric stages that chews you up if you're too close to them.
104	* ''VideoGame/NuclearThrone'': A mutated flower, simply named [[ADogNamedDog Plant]] is a [[BloodKnight bloodthirsty]] carnivorous plant [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily with some very sharp teeth]]. Unlike many examples, it's not rooted into the ground and is able to run incredibly quickly, being the fastest playable character.
105	* ''VideoGame/Pikmin2'': The Creeping Chrysanthemums hide underground and ambush your Pikmin when they get close, and they can take a chunk off of your army in one gulp! However, if you get away fast enough when they lunge, they will end up biting themselves, falling down and giving you a big window of opportunity to kill them.
106	* ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies'': Running with the series' titular premise, the games have ''zombie''-eating plants:
107	** The first game introduces Chomper, who will eat almost any zombie whole. Unfortunately, he's vulnerable to attack for around thirty seconds while he chews on the zombie. Chompers recur as a playable class in the ''[[VideoGame/PlantsVsZombiesGardenWarfare Garden Warfare]]'' games and as [[NotZilla Chompzilla]] from ''Heroes''. Aside from zombies, Chomper has also been known to feast on [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slender Man]].
108	** ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies2'' introduces Toadstool and Snap Pea, who also eat zombies and are left vulnerable while chewing, but both have extended range. On top of that, they each have unique effects when they swallow: Toadstool produces sun while Snap Pea spits out the head of the zombie he just ate as a projectile.
109	* ''VideoGame/PilotKids'' has a man-eating plant as the boss of the garden stage. It's size may be smaller than other examples of this list, though, because the players are LivingToys in RC planes.
110	* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': Carnivine is based on the Venus flytrap, while the Bellsprout line us based on the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitcher_plant pitcher plants]]. Both are stated to be ambush predators, and to devour their prey whole.
111	* ''VideoGame/RagnarokOnline'' has a few carnivorous plants in its bestiary that certainly look the part. In an earlier version of the official international server's website, Geographers (a favorite hunting target for mages) were said to be named such because one of the aforementioned plants had eaten a well-known geographer.
112	* ''VideoGame/RainWorld'':
113	** Monster kelp are large seaweed that will reach towards, smother and digest passing creatures.
114	** Pole plants disguise their long stems as inert pieces of ruined buildings. When the player tries to climb them, the plant comes to life, grapples them, and drags them into its den to consume.
115	** Worm grass grows in large fields of writhing, grasping leaves. Most creatures that come to close are grappled by the plants and dragged into the hungry patch to be digested. Only very large animals can safely cross worm grass fields.
116	* ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'':
117	** The clinically termed "PLANT 42" in the first game is the most "successful" experiment of the [[TheVirus T-Virus]] in plant life.
118	** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilOutbreak File #2'': You visit an AbandonedHospital in the forest that is home to a man-eating plant which has infested the ruins. When you kill it, [[CollapsingLair the whole hospital falls down.]]
119	** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations'': The Mastermind Alex Wesker has a unique monster called the Yateveo, a monstrous virus-mutated carnivorous plant.
120	* ''VideoGame/SecretOfEvermore'': There are several man eating plants. They drag you in, hit a few times, and spit you out. The first two varieties aren't that dangerous. The third delivers instant kills regardless of level if it's awake. Luckily you can just turn out the lights.
121	* ''VideoGame/ScienceGirls'': Some of the PlantAliens that are fought qualify as this, using the move Engulf to steal a party member and began chowing down on them, but any damage to the plant frees the member as well.
122	* ''VideoGame/SimEarth'': Tweaking the mutation rate allows you to get "carniferns". If they become sapient, their appearance is a ShoutOut to the triffids.
123	* ''VideoGame/TheSims'':
124	** The Cow Plant (''[[BinomiumRidiculus Laganaphyllis simnovorii]]''), introduced in an expansion pack for ''The Sims 2'' and returning in ''The Sims 3'', is exactly what it sounds like. However, instead of eating grass, it sometimes [[LuringInPrey lures Sims close with the cake-shaped tip of its tongue]][[note]]"Cake-shaped" is an understatement -- its shaped like a slice of birthday cake, ''complete with lit candle''[[/note]] and eats them. This causes its udder to fill with milk, which the plant's owner can ''drink'', disturbingly enough. This "milk" serves as extra-potent version of "Elixir of Life" which makes the Sim that drinks it younger -- Sims can live indefinitely if you let the Cow Plant eat a steady stream of random passersby. Also, the Sim gets a memory of "Drank (Victim)"; some sims really want to drink their enemies' life essence.
125	** ''VideoGame/TheUrbz'': There are man-eating plants in the swamp area that drag you in and eat you (although you can escape via ButtonMashing), although being eaten just sends you to the hospital.
126	* ''VideoGame/TheSmurfs1994'': A Smurf-eating plant appears as one of the bosses.
127	* ''VideoGame/{{Something}} RomHack series''
128	** The Pumpkin Plants in Something. Even though they are just as dangerous as a Pirahna Plant, they look quite silly.
129	** The Fruit Vines in Something Else are sprite swaps of the Pirahna Plants.
130	* ''VideoGame/{{Slashout}}'' has the "Erba" enemies, Venus flytrap heads on sentient vines that moves like snakes, trying to bite you while slithering under your feet. Given the game's use of GratuitousItalian, their names literally translates as "grass".
131	* ''VideoGame/SpellboundDizzy'': There's a man-eating plant. Since Dizzy is an egg, it's harmless. ("Good job it wasn't an egg-eating plant.") Later, you can use some bones to entice the plant to swallow you, transporting you to a different part of the mines.
132	* ''VideoGame/{{Spelunky}}'' has these, aptly named the Mantrap. They're the only enemy in the game you can't jump on. [[spoiler: Unless you're wearing spiked shoes in the original. In the XBLA version, they can't be jumped on at all!]]
133	* ''VideoGame/{{Starbound}}'' has Man-eating ''PlantPeople'' in the Florans, a bloodthirsty, tribal warrior race that treats other sentient races like one would treat plants. And yes, that includes ripping apart and eating without giving much of a crap about it.
134	* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'': The Piranha Plant and offshoots -- carnivorous plants made up of a stem topped with a red-and-white, toothy mouth bulb and flanked by two leaves -- are basically kid-friendly {{Ersatz}}es of Audrey 2. A notable individual of this species is Petey Piranha, a giant version of the typical specimen, who debuted in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' and has since been a recurring boss villain. Other exceptional Piranha Plants in Mario games include Naval Piranha in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld2YoshisIsland'', the Megasmilax in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPGLegendOfTheSevenStars'', Lava Piranha in ''VideoGame/PaperMario'' and Dino Piranha in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy''.
135	** ''VideoGame/LuigisMansionDarkMoon'': Carnivorous plants appear as enemies (specifically on Haunted Towers and the jungle exhibit area of Treacherous Mansion), but they aren't Piranha Plants.
136	** Pirahna Plants aren't the only plants that will take a bite out of Mario. As far back as the NES there have been nippers. Which, unlike their larger brethren, are not tied to pipes and can actually hop after the player.
137	** Naturally, [[https://youtu.be/H9RiPCbYQ8U?t=1m52s fangames are lousy]] with Piranha Plants. And all other classic Mario enemies for that matter.
138	** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorldPiranhaIsland'' takes place on an island filled with Piranha Plants and Munchers.
139	* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioFusionRevival'': In addition to the Piranha Plant, the game has several different Man Eating Plants that populate different worlds. For example, World 2 (based on Earth) has the plants from ''VideoGame/MetalSlug''.
140	* ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' has a few enemy plants, but 2 are true examples of this trope: The extremely rare Insect Plant and its much more common PaletteSwap Upgrade, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin aptly named]] ''Carnivorous Plant'', whose primary attack is to grab one of your characters and eat him/her. (Luckily, this only does a few hits before it spits out said character.) Conversely, the [[MookPromotion boss version]] of these, Plantix, doesn't.
141	* ''VideoGame/TazManiaSega'' has carnivorous plants with eyes in the jungle stages. They're Taz's size and can slowly walk around, and Taz can pick them up, carry them, and eat them (although they could still bite and damage Taz if held, so eat them quickly). The boss of the jungle is a gigantic screen-sized version of the plants, who can be quite a tough fight if you don't utilize the three bags of weed-killer scattered around the arena.
142	* ''VideoGame/TorchlightII'': in the Netherrealms there are leafy ichor pods that open giant maws resembling [[LittleShopOfHorrors Audrey II's]]. Though they're not dangerous to the player and only act as charge meter fodder, the smaller ones are more than twice human size. The bigger ones can be seen as part of the background environment, easily large enough to swallow the viewable map.
143	* ''VideoGame/{{Turok}}'': the LethalLavaLand level has the [[https://turok.fandom.com/wiki/Killer_Plant Killer Plants]] petals filled with teeth with a bite attack and shoot toxic barbs if you move away from them.
144	* Subverted in ''VideoGame/UltraversePrime'' when you reach the jungle stage. There are dozens of Audrey-like carnivorous plants in the background which constantly makes snapping motions as if they're going to bite at something, but they serve as MonstrousScenery and doesn't interact with anything else onscreen.
145	* ''VideoGame/AVeryLongRopeToTheTopOfTheSky'': One of the enemies that can be faced in the Green Heart, are Venus Flytraps, which are a common type of fictional man-eating plant.
146	* ''VideoGame/WarioLand'':
147	** ''Wario Land 4'' has Cractus, which is a standard ManEatingPlant first boss (complete with punching spiked leaves and flying). [[spoiler: This trope becomes rather literal when it makes a cameo in ''[[VideoGame/WarioWare Warioware: Move It]]'' and eats Leo.]]
148	** ''Wario Land Shake Dimension'' has a few called Venus Guytraps, which eat Wario as well as any enemy that happens to land on one (one mission is actually to feed five enemies to them). There's also Bloomsday/Scumflower, which while it doesn't actually eat Wario as an attack, is pretty much this by how it actually spits out various enemies as attacks.
149	* ''VideoGame/Wild9'' has giant flytraps are background hazards in several jungle-themed levels, and they cannot be harmed in any way by the player's electrical whip. The only way to bypass them is to use the whip to grab enemy mooks, [[ThrowTheMookAtThem throw them to be gobbled by the plants]], and make a quick run for it.
150	* ''VideoGame/{{Wizardry}}'' has a set of dangerous plants who can move, attack in melee, and shoot thorns. Ah, and some of these attacks are [[UniversalPoison poisonous]], and on top of that they can release pollen which [[StatusInflictionAttack causes other status effects]].
151	* ''VideoGame/WonderBoyIIIMonsterLair'''s eighth boss, Saboteria, is a mutant barrel cactus with [[PumpkinPerson a Jack-O-Lantern face]].
