Romancing SaGa Re;univerSe [And, iOS] – Mancroaker / Various

Media: video game: “Romancing SaGa Re;univerSe”
Developer: Akatsuki
Platform: Android, Apple iOS

Description:

Mancroaker is a frog-like enemy from the limited time event ‘A Midsummer Night’s Stroll,’ as well as the very high difficulty permanent Challenge quest, Wastelands War (Bertrand). It has a rarely used skill called Swallow, in which the skill animation shows a stylized, disembodied set of jaws appearing and inhaling the selected character. The jaws close on the targeted character and they disappear briefly with a gulping sound, and immediately reappear in a splash of saliva. Even if all HP is lost as a result of the attack, they will still be spit out.

Mancroaker can also be encountered in the main story, Quest 5-2-5 Sparkling Lake III in the Liam Arc, but are much weaker, so are unlikely to last long enough in battle to use Swallow, or may constantly miss if the player’s party is too strong.

Chrono Cross [NS, PC, PS1, PS4, XBO] – Sidesteppa / Various

Media: video game: “Chrono Cross”
Developer: Square Product Development Division 3
Platform: Computer, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 1, PlayStation 4, Xbox One

Note: The remastered version of the game is known as Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition.

Description:

Sidesteppas are large crab-like enemies that can be found at the bottom of El Nido Triangle (Another World) very late in the game. In battle, they will occasionally use their Devour technique, in which their mouth, which is situated on their underside, opens wide to take their target into their body, then spitting them out. They tend not to use Devour if the Field Effect is completely Blue, instead opting for stronger Elements.

Although Sidesteppas can be seen earlier in the game in Water Dragon Isle (Home World), they will never use the Devour technique.

The character Sprigg can transform into a Sidesteppa and utilize its abilities, including Devour, provided a Sidesteppa enemy has been defeated by Sprigg in her natural form, or by another character wearing the Forget-Me-Not Pot accessory. In this way, the Sidesteppa can use Devour on enemy monsters and bosses, not just party members.

Note: The remastered version of the game appears as a part of Super Mario 3D All-Stars.

Description: 

Yoshi can be found and used as a mount in select levels, unlocked after retrieving the Shine Sprite from Episode 4 of Pinna Park. This triggers an event in Delfino Plaza where Mario must rescue a Yoshi egg from Shadow Mario.

Once a Yoshi is coaxed out of its shell with fruit, Mario is able to ride and control it. Yoshi is able to grab enemies using its long tongue to swallow them, as well as other non-hostile creatures, such as birds and butterflies.

Nioh 2 [PC, PS4, PS5] – Gyuki / Hide

Media: video game: “Nioh 2”
Developer: Team Ninja
Platform: Computer, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5

Description: 

Gyuki, the yokai with the head of a bull and the body of a spider, is the second boss of the tenth main mission of the game, Pervading Waters.

If Hide is close to Gyuki’s head, it will often try to use a grapple attack in which it knocks Hide into the air with its two front legs, catching them in its mouth and chewing for massive damage, then spitting them out in a large spray of saliva. Regardless of whether or not Hide loses all their health as a result of this attack, they will still be spit out.

Unlike in the previous game, whenever Hide is killed, there will be a message that states what hazard or enemy attack caused the player’s death. If Hide loses all health while being chewed, the message will say “Licked to death by Gyuki,” but if Hide loses all health from being spit out and hitting the ground, the message will instead display a generic “Killed by Gyuki.”

Hide is customisable in gender and appearance can be transformed to resemble other characters from the story.

Media: video game: “Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2”
Developer: Tate Multimedia
Platform: Computer, Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox

Description: 

In the first level of the game, Beaver’s Forest, there is a large plant behind the water wheel where Kao must rescue two beavers. If approached, the plant will lunge at Kao, snapping him up in its jaws, chewing and slurping on him before spitting him out. Even if all of Kao’s health is lost as a result of this, he will still be spit out, where he turns into an angel, as is his usual animation on losing a life.

The giant plant appears again in the level River Raid.

The Sims 4 [PC, PS4, XBO] – Cowplant / Sims

Media: video game: “The Sims 4”
Developer: Maxis, The Sims Studio
Platform: Computer, PlayStation 4, Xbox One

Description: 

The Cowplant (Laganaphyllis simnovorii) is grown from the rare Cowplant Berry, which is obtained a various number of ways, such as

• Purchasing and opening the Rare Plants seed packet, unlocked after reaching Gardening skill level 10;
• Grafting a strawberry plant with a snapdragon plant to produce dragon fruit, then grafting a snapdragon onto a dragon fruit plant;
• Fishing, rarely;
• Digging for treasure, rarely;

After it is planted and fully mature, every 12 in-game hours or so, the Cowplant will get hungry, and stick out its tongue, that has a lure on its tip in the shape of a slice of cake. In this state, if the Cowplant is selected and the Eat Cake option is picked, the Sim will grab the cake-shaped lure, triggering the Cowplant to pull that Sim into its mouth and swallow them, with a small bulge going down its stem into the ground, with the Sim’s muffled protests barely audible. The udder on the Cowplant’s chin then becomes distended. After a few seconds, the bulge rises up the stem again and the Cowplant will regurgitate them, covered in acid.

Regurgitated Sims instantly have their hygiene lowered to a Filthy level, and they receive the Drained moodlet temporarily, that has an icon of the Cowplant. If a Drained Sim once again tries to take a Cowplant’s lure, they will most likely be irreversibly devoured, and will be turned into a tombstone beside the Cowplant.

A Cowplant can be milked, which contains the emotions of the Sim before it was swallowed, even if that Sim was regurgitated. Other Sims who drink this will gain the emotions of the swallowed Sim.

Nioh [PC, PS4, PS5] – Yamata-no-Orochi / William

Media: video game: “Nioh”
Developer: Team Ninja, Kou Shibusawa
Platform: Computer, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5

Description: 

Yamata-no-Orochi, the multi-headed serpent, is seen in the nineteenth main mission, The Demon King Revealed, and is the last boss of the main story.

It is capable of biting attacks, and often after using its breath attack, it will get extremely close to William with its open mouth. It will rarely use a grapple attack after shaking its head side to side, where it lunges at William, grabs him in its mouth and chews him for a large amount of damage, before spitting him out. Unless William is at a high level, this will most likely result in a one-hit kill.

William’s appearance can be changed to different characters with unlockable transformations, including female characters from the story.

Sdorica [And, iOS] – Desert Worm / Various

Media: video game: “Sdorica”
Developer: Rayark Inc.
Platform: Android, Apple iOS

Description: 

The War Zone: Endless Expedition is a limited time event in which players face off against a boss with only 15 turns to act, that becomes stronger each time it is defeated.

The third Endless Expedition, Desert Worm’s Welcome (2022 Apr 6 – Apr 26) pits the player characters against two Paragliding Centipedes and one cactus named only ??? which is invincible as long as the two other enemies are still alive. When alone, ??? no longer has the Invincibility status effect and is easily defeated, as long as it is under Lv. 30.

Above Lv. 30, when ??? is alone, the cactus will perform an attack in which it burrows under the sand, after which a large set of jaws emerges from under the party to swallow them. The camera pans underground, and shows the Desert Worm burrowing, revealing the cactus was actually its tail. It will then regurgitate the party and resumes the battle underground. Its status screen shows its name remains as ??? even in this stage of the battle. Any party members that are KO’d before this transition attack will not be swallowed, but simply reappear underground.

Similar to the battle transition attack, in this second phase on the battle, ??? can perform an attack in which it burrows its head into the ground to swallow and regurgitate a single target.

Though the quest is named Desert Worm’s Welcome, the limited icon that can be earned from the event refers to it as the Giant Sandworm.

Although Endless Expedition bosses rotate, it is not yet known if they repeat or not.

If his ‘Food Fighter’ skill tree is selected and his eighth ability ‘Om Nom Nom’ is selected, this will allow Slobber Tooth to swallow enemies that he holds in his mouth for an extended period, with a bulge going down his throat. He is able to restore health in this way. His ninth ability ‘Feast’ allows him to inhale enemies to pull them into his mouth.
