The Huckleberry Hound Show; 2x10A ‘Pet Vet’ – Lion / Huckleberry Hound

Media: TV series: “The Huckleberry Hound Show”
Episode: 2x10A: ‘Pet Vet’

Description:

In this episode, Huckleberry Hound is working as a veterinarian, and is summoned to treat a lion with a toothache. He tries to extract the tooth and fails in a number of ways. In one attempt, he tries to swing into the cage a la Tarzan and quickly pluck the tooth, but accidentally swings right into the lion’s mouth. In the next scene, he is seen still sitting in the lion’s mouth, who is seemingly at least partially cooperative. He asks the lion to bring his jaws closer together, who closes his mouth all the way, trapping Huckleberry Hound inside briefly.

Media: TV series: “The Huckleberry Hound Show”
Episode: 4x03A: ‘Jungle Bungle’

Super Mario RPG [NS] – Belome / Party Members

Media: video game: “Super Mario RPG”
Developer: ArtePiazza
Platform: Nintendo Switch

Description: 

Early in the game, Mario and Mallow must travel through the Kero Sewers, and will encounter the boss known as Belome at the end. Belome appears to be a large four-eyed dog-like monster with a long tongue. Belome’s attacks include a licking attack and status-inflicting magic. He is also scripted to specifically target Mallow to flick him into the air and swallow him whole. Mallow can be freed if Mario hits Belome a number of times, and conversely, Mallow can remain inside Belome indefinitely if Mario does not attack. If Mario’s HP is reduced to zero while Mallow is still inside Belome’s stomach, this results in a game over, or if Mario is already knocked out beforehand, Belome swallowing Mallow will also result in an instant game over.

Later in the game, the party will face Belome once more, in Belome’s Temple at Land’s End. In this second encounter, Belome can target any party member to eat (Mario, Mallow, Geno, Peach or Bowser), but will spit them back out immediately after commenting on their taste, using this taste to create an enemy clone of the eaten character. Each character supposedly has a different flavor, and Belome will comment as such:

  • “Ack! Sour!” (Mario)
  • “YES! This is yummy!” (Mallow)
  • “Bitter, but not bad…” (Geno)
  • “Mmm, tastes peachy…” (Peach)
  • “Yuck! How repulsive!” (Bowser)

In the Nintendo Switch remake of the game, Belome can be fought a third time in Belome’s Temple after defeating the final boss of the game. He attacks the party, seemingly irritable, complaining of a sore, scratchy throat, and although there are slight differences in the fight, such as increased difficulty and clones granting him impenetrable defence, the fight is very similar to the second fight. When Belome swallows a character in this fight, he no longer comments on their taste. Upon defeating him, he spits out Mallow’s strongest weapon, which was seemingly the cause of his sore throat.

Disgaea RPG [And, iOS, PC] – Bear / Various

Media: video game: “Disgaea RPG”
Developer: Drecom, ForwardWorks
Platform: Android, Apple iOS, Computer

Note: The English version of this game has been delisted at the time of writing, and required an internet connection.

Description:

The bear unit is capable of learning an ability at level 50, known as Biting Bear, in which it flings at single target into its mouth and chews them, spitting them back out from an accessory mouth on its back.

After Nether Enhancing the bear three times, it is also able to learn Hyper Suction, in which it inhales all enemy targets, once again ejecting them from the mouth on its back.

These attack animations seem identical to how they appear in Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance.

Note: The English version of this game has been delisted at the time of writing, and required an internet connection.

Rainier is a unique Sea Angel character acquired from the Celebrate! Nether Beauty Pageant event. She begins already knowing the skill Buccal Cones, in which the enemy target is knocked into the air, and falls into a mouth situated on top of her head. She makes gestures as if they are being chewed, before ejecting them back out again.

This attack animation seems identical to how it appears for Sea Angels in Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness and Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance.
