Puggi tries to rescue him, only to find that after the plant had spit out the victim, it was in fact a Striped Prickear Monkey, not Pang. The Epic Nepenthes recovers shortly after and then lunges towards Puggi as the screen fades to black. Puggi wanders around the dark innards, only to rejoice after discovering some spoils inside.

Final Fantasy VII [PS1] – Pitcher Plants / Frog, Insect

Media: video game: “Final Fantasy VII″
Developer: Squaresoft
Platform: PS1

Description:

Ancient Forest is an optional area accessed late in Disc 2 after defeating ‘Ultimate Weapon’ (or perhaps earlier if one breeds a mountain-worthy Chocobo – green, black or gold). It is a series of mini-puzzles involving the use of insects, frogs, pitcher plants and other man-eating plants.

Throughout the area are small pale-looking pitcher plants. Once fed an insect or a frog, its lid will close, allowing Cloud to jump onto it. The prey inside will struggle, and in the case of frogs, will pop back out. Insects also struggle, but when the pitcher plants open again nothing will jump out. Cloud himself can’t jump inside them though.

Suikoden II [PC, PS1, PSP] – Creeper / Various

Media: video game: “Suikoden II”
Developer: Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo
Platform: Computer, PlayStation 1, PlayStation Portable

Description:

In the Sindar Ruins, the pitcher plant-like monsters known as Creeper can be encountered, which have the ability to inhale party members and squeeze them before spitting them out. At this point in the game, party members are assigned randomly from those already recruited, who may include humans, kobolds (portrayed as dog-men), a squirrel or a wolf. Once the boss of the Sindar Ruins is defeated, it seems they can no longer be encountered.

Later in the game, while escaping from Greenhill the first time, a palette-swapped version of the Creeper enemies, known as Melonzoo can be encountered. Apart from being stronger and having the watermelon-like stripes to its appearance, it is otherwise identical with the same inhale attack. The Melonzoo can only be fought at this time. Possible characters are again limited because there is an age restriction for party members at this point in the game, but may include humans, kobolds (dog-men), a squirrel or a wolf.

Due to the diversity of potential victims, it is difficult to be thorough as to who can fall prey, however they may include humans, elves and kobolds (portrayed as dog-men).
