An extreme version of the [[Big Eater]], usually a monster of some type, eats the hero or some other innocent bystander. But they don't ''chew'', and their stomach happens to big and spacious, full of oxygen, devoid of acidic gastric juices, and in some cases actually well lit. It may even be a [[Ribcage Stomach]]. Our hero is fine, he just happens to be inside the monster for awhile. In erotica, it's often called vore (short for "vorarephilia"). Specifically, this type is called 'soft vore', as opposed to [[Gorn|the hard stuff.]]
 
At this point, one of two things happens. Either the monster is slashed open from the inside or the outside, and the hero escapes unharmed (and usually quite clean), or else he does something to cause the monster indigestion, [[Too Spicy for Yog -Sothoth|and get vomited back out]]. For bonus humor, they may not even be aware they were inside the monster's gut until they provoke this dyspesia.
 
This may be a case of [[Eat the Bomb|Explosive Indigestion]]. When the hero himself simply proves to be inedible, it's [[Too Spicy for Yog -Sothoth]].
 
This is an extremely old trope and features very often in children's books, though it also shows up in other settings.

Compare [[Just Eat Him]] and [[Eaten Alive]].
