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.

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.

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.

Media: video game: “Circus Lido”
Developer: Uni Post
Platform:
TurboGrafx-16

Description: 

In this obscure puzzle game, the player takes control of a chameleon, who must clear the screen of all arthropods in order to progress to the next stage. In order to do so, the chameleon must grab one of the arthropods with their long tongue to engulf them, and then spit them out as a bubble towards a flytrap, feeding it to them. The flytrap will chew and swallow the arthropods and lick its lips afterwards.

Since the flytrap is not exactly a friendly entity, it will cause the chameleon to lose a life if it comes into contact with it, but will not actually eat the chameleon, only triggering a generic death animation.
