Developer: Namco
Platform: Computer, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S

Note: The remastered version of this game is a part of Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series.

Description:

In as early as the second level of the game, large flower-like enemies known as Ow-Gow can be seen. If Klonoa or another enemy walks in front of it, it will lunge forward and they will be sucked into their mouth and chewed, though they tend to clip in through the Ow-Gow’s head, rather than go into its mouth. Regular enemies such as Moos are swallowed, but Klonoa will be spit out even if all health is lost as a result of this.

Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil [NS, PC, PS2, PS4, PS5, XBO, XBXS] – Pits / Klonoa

Note: The remastered version of this game is a part of Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series.

Astro’s Playroom [PS5] – T-rex / Astro

Media: video game: “Astro’s Playroom”
Developer: Japan Studio, Team Asobi
Platform: PlayStation 5

Description: 

Once all four worlds are completed, a fifth level opens up with the subtitle “1994 Throwback.” Upon reaching the end of the brief level, the T-rex from the 1994 PlayStation tech demo appears as a boss. A view into its mouth can be seen as it roars at Astro Bot and spits enemies at him, and it will regularly use biting attacks, though this deals contact damage, rather than the T-rex actually swallowing him.

After defeating the T-rex, a robotic T-rex then appears and acts as the final boss. It behaves largely similarly to the first T-rex, but when defeated, Astro must grab its tongue and pull it so it strikes it in the face.

Trog [Arc, NES, PC] – Dinosaurs / Trog

Media: video game: “Trog”
Developer: Midway
Platform: Arcade, Computer, Nintendo Entertainment System

Description: 

The player(s) control the dinosaurs known as Rex, Bloop, Spike and Gwen (though only Rex and Bloop are present in the home versions of the game), and must collect all items while avoiding the one-eyed cavemen known as the Trog. Occasionally a pineapple power-up may appear during a level, and collecting it will cause the controlled dinosaur to temporarily grow into a T-rex, allowing them to devour any Trogs it encounters.

Sam & Max Hit the Road [PC] – Dragon / Sam

Media: video game: “Sam & Max Hit the Road”
Developer: LucasArts
Platform: Computer

Description: 

In the Bumpusville section of the game, there is a virtual reality headset in a room in Conroy Bumpus’ mansion. Once Lee-Harvey is distracted, Sam can use the VR headset in which he controls his blocky, polygonal self to fight a blocky, polygonal dragon using a sword. If the sword is not used against the dragon in time, it will snatch Sam in its mouth and swallow, with its neck polygons bulging. This does not cause a game over, but forces the player to re-do this section, as Lee-Harvey returns and forces Sam and Max to leave.

If this is repeated and failed a second time, Sam will ask Max if he’s “ever seen the inside of a dragon’s large intestine.”

New Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja [NS, PC, PS4, PS5, XBO, XBXS] – Titanoboa / Joe, Mac

Media: video game: “New Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja”
Developer: Mr. Nutz Studio
Platform: Computer, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S

Description: 

The second to last boss in the game appears to be a titanoboa. Once defeated, it collapses with its mouth open, but unlike previous iterations in the series neither of the playable characters are seen walking into its mouth – the screen instead fades to black.

The final level takes place in the titanoboa’s body. If playing in the Arcade mode, this section will be very brief before encountering the final boss, but if playing on the Extend mode, the level is more significant, featuring pools and fountains of acid and other cavemen and dinosaurs who the titanoboa previously swallowed.

Nickelodeon Juice – Giraffe / Gordon Gagbag

Media: advertisement for: “Nickelodeon Juice”

Note: This advertisement was only aired in Australia in 2003 on Nickelodeon.

Description:

This particular advertisement featured a koala named Gordon Gagbag, who promoted a line-up of morning Nickelodeon cartoons with the slogan “Juice is the perfect snack with brekky.” At the end of the advertisement, despite not being Australian, a giraffe appears on-screen and swallows Gordon and belches afterwards. Gordon can be heard protesting from within, saying “I’m not the perfect snack, you idiot! Juice! Juice is the perfect snack!”

Other variants of this advertisement exists with different elements of slapstick involved.

Enchanted Portals [NS, PC, PS4, PS5, XBO, XBXS] – Alligator / Bobby, Penny

Media: video game: “Enchanted Portals”
Developer: Xixo Games Studio
Platform: Computer, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S

Description: 

World 3 is broken up into land and water sections. When reaching the water sections, Bobby and Penny are able to use alligators’ heads as platforms to cross safely. The alligators will occasionally leap upwards, jaws snapping open and closed to try to swallow them, and unlike other enemies, will remove Bobby or Penny from the screen momentarily, who will respawn through a portal, as if they had fallen into a pit. The alligators also have a unique bloated sprite upon swallowing them.

Bobby or Penny will not be swallowed at all if they lose all their life as a result of this, simply undergoing a generic death animation.

The Ant and the Aardvark; 03 ‘The Ant from Uncle’ – Aardvark / Fish, Charlie

Media: TV series: “The Ant and the Aardvark”
Episode: 03: ‘The Ant from Uncle’

Note: The Ant and the Aardvark shorts would later be incorporated into The New Pink Panther Show (1971–1974), The Pink Panther and Friends (1974–1976), and The Pink Panther Show (1980), though as reruns of the same episodes.

Description:

The episode begins with the Aardvark introducing himself to the audience, demonstrating his ability to sharply inhale, drawing in water from a nearby lake, and spits out a fish he accidentally swallowed.

Later in the episode, the Aardvark tricks the overworked Charlie Ant into walking into his mouth, setting it up to be a club for ants. 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.

Description:

In this episode, Charlie Ant has a motorcycle, and uses his newfound mobility to evade the Aardvark. In one scene, the Aardvark sets up a pipe like a tunnel, leading into his mouth. Although Charlie does ride into the pipe, he and his motorcycle tears a hole in the Aardvark’s tail and escape.
