Charlie can be heard commenting that there is “an elevator in here” and asks a hitherto unknown “cigarette gal” for a cigar, implying there were other ants the Aardvark had successfully swallowed and were inside his belly. Due to the smoke, the Aardvark sneezes out Charlie.

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.

Developer: Loadcomplete
Platform: Android, Apple iOS

Description: 

Ammut is a boss based on the Egyptian goddess of the same name. She can be found in Episode 2 of Kalard Chronicles (Temple of Illusions), specifically in Chapter 2, Stage 3, Vassal of Tragedy.

During the fight, Ammut will regularly swallow a party member, removing them from the battle temporarily, while continuing to attack the remaining party. After some time, they will be regurgitated, and this process repeats. If there is only one remaining party member and they are swallowed, the character will not be regurgitated; instead this will cause an instant game over, and Ammut will simply walk off screen.

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

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

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.
