In as early as the second level of the game, large flower-like enemies known as Ow-Gow can be seen.

Regular enemies such as Moos are swallowed, but Klonoa will be spit out even if all health is lost as a result of this.

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.”

Developer: Mr. Nutz Studio
Platform:

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.

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.

Final Fantasy VI [And, iOS, GBA, NS, PC, PS1, PS4, SNES, Wii] – Zone Eater / Party

Media: video game: “Final Fantasy VI”
Developer: Square
Platform:
Android, Apple iOS, Computer, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 1, PlayStation 4, Super Nintendo Entertainment System

Note: The mobile and 2014 PC port of the mobile versions have been delisted at the time of writing.

Description: 

The Zone Eater is a large sandworm that is found in the World of Ruin, in the triangular island after the airship can be accessed. In battle, it is relatively harmless, possessing no real way of KO’ing any party members. However, it has an ability called Inhale, in which it will draw in and swallow party members one at a time, accompanied with a text box saying “*munch munch* *gobble gobble*.” Swallowed party members are excluded from the rest of the fight. If the Zone Eater is defeated after swallowing a party member, or the rest of the party flees battle, the swallowed characters simply reappear back in the party without any animation or text.

If every party member is swallowed in battle, the battle ends and they are transported to a secret dungeon known as Zone Eater’s Belly, however the dungeon appears the same as any cave or mountain area and does not look organic. The short dungeon is home to one of the optional characters of the game, Gogo. The party is able to escape by presumably being regurgitated – standing at the exit triggers loud rumbling and the screen fades to black before transitioning back to the world map.

Once the dungeon is completed or the Zone Eater is killed, more can be encountered, as they are considered normal enemies, and the dungeon can be returned to again in the same way.

Atomos is a boss that is fought atop of Barrier Tower, in the second world of the game. It takes the form resembling a large gate as an open mouth, and will cast strong single-target magic spells to knock out a character. Once a character is knocked out, it will slowly inhale them, pulling them towards itself. Should the knocked out character reach Atomos before being revived, Atomos will use an ability called Wormhole, causing the inhaled character to disappear into its ‘mouth’ and be removed from battle, with the message ‘Dragged into another dimension!’
