{{noreallife|Sorry, we have to impose Wikipedia's "reliable sources" rule on this one.}}

 

* ''[[FLCL]]'' gives you the comedic version—Boxing Glove Vagina.

** This is a reference to a ''[[Lupin III]]'' opening credits sequence, though in the Lupin III version the spring originates behind instead of between Fujiko's legs.

* The hentai OVA ''Sinner's Paradise'' has a 100% literal example, {{spoiler|complete with castration.}}

 

* [[Watchmen]]. Why do you think {{spoiler|Ozymandias' monster}} only has one eye over that mouth?

* Virginia Dentata from ''DV8'' is intentionally meant to invoke this image, though her big, toothy, sideways mouth is on her ''stomach''.

* A variant of this occurs in the issue of ''Penthouse Comix'' where Doomblood demands a [[Scarpia Ultimatum]] from Hericane. While she doesn't have teeth there, she can clench it enough to make him sorry. (Having [[Super Strength]] and all.)

 

* One of ECMajor's recent (as of 2012) works depicts [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|Queen Chrysalis']] lady bits with tiny claws around clitoris.

 

* The most obvious example of all, playing the trope for comedy as well as horror: the 2008 ''[[Teeth]]'' was a horror movie about a celibate teenage girl who discovers, while being raped, that she has Vagina Dentata, which will bite off the penis of any man who tries anything she doesn't like.

** It also has the immortal scene of a shady gynecologist who just tried to fist the heroine under the pretense of an examination ("And now I'm going to check your ''flexibility''.") clutching his bloody hand and screaming [[Narm|"VAGINA DENTATA! THE LEGENDS ARE TRUE! VAGINA DENTATA!"]]

* Potentially referenced in ''[[Piranha 3D]]'', when a piranha forces its way into a woman's vagina, and latches on to her boyfriend's penis (forcing him to cut it off) when the two have sex later on.

== Jokes ==

* At least one version of the baudy poem "The Ballad of Eskimo Nell" involved one of the characters' castration by Nell's vagina in a vain attempt to please her.

 

* A lengthy sequence in ''[[American Gods]]'' culminates in a succubus-like reinvention of the Queen of Sheba devouring a man whole through her sexual organs. There is later mention of a young recently-enslaved African girl (a twin, and thereby believed to have magic powers) convincing a would-be rapist that she had this.

* K.W. Jeter's novel ''[[Dr Adder]]'' features a character with Vagina Dentata.

* In ''Genome'' by [[Sergey Lukyanenko]] a genetically engineered super agent girl turns out to have a sting in her intimate parts that administers excruciatingly painful toxin to an unfortunate wannabe rapist.

 

* The <s>[[Big Bad]]</s> [[Disc One Final Boss]] of ''[[Power Rangers Lost Galaxy]]'', Scorpius, was designed with [[Defanged Horrors|a not-very-toothy one]] for a ''mouth''. Doubles as [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]].

** ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'' provided us with the [[Man-Eating Plant|Bloom of Doom]], which ''did'' have teeth.

* In one episode of ''[[Ally McBeal]]'', the female regulars are wondering aloud about Ling's latest lawsuit, and Elaine comments "Maybe her gynaecologist pulled the wrong tooth".

 

* Australian electronic/rock duo Corpse Penis Eaten By Rectum use a [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|slight variation on this theme]] as their logo.

* The music video for Green Jelly's "Three Little Pigs" invokes the trope offscreen, as the camera pans over a seedy part of town and passes by a movie marquee playing a film called "Her Thing Had Teeth".

 

== Myths and Legends ==

* According to the legends of the Amazonian Yanomami Indians, when the very first men encountered the very first women, the menfolk were very wary, and let their horny monkey mascot-pet have sex with the women, first. To the monkey's eternal sorrow, the menfolk found out that the women's vaginas were infested with/guarded by schools of piranha.

 

* In ''[[Werewolf: The Apocalypse]],'' this is one of the powers you can give fomori (humans possessed by demonic spirits), especially those whose powers revolve around [[Horny Devils|seduction]]. This includes male variants as well.

* Similarly, there's a reason the [[Vampire: The Masquerade|clanbook]] for the [[Body Horror|Tzimisce]] had to be sold [[Contemptible Cover|wrapped in black plastic]]...

* [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=214382 Sheoldred, Whispering One] in ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' plugs her torso into various lower bodies. The one on her card has a great big mouth between its legs. Eek.

 

* In ''The Violet Hour'' by Richard Greenberg, the main character's best friend writes a novel that apparently invokes this trope.

* Played around with by feminist burlesquers [http://www.lashings.org Lashings of Ginger Beer], who parody [[Straw Feminist|conservative fears about The Dreaded Feminist Agenda]] by singing [http://www.youtube.com/user/lashingsofgb#p/u/2/Q_4yCm6DZp8 a version of 'Hakuna Matata'] that is about... you guessed it!

 

* The first Boss in [[Brutal Legend]] is this... stuck to a tentacle... with a clitoris piercing, that apparently smells like a death whale.

* A faceless creature in ''[[Silent Hill Homecoming]]'' [http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y71/steven_mj/5987620080515_174503_3_big.jpg has a toothed, vagina-shaped mouth].

* In [[Skyward Sword]], Deku Babas (carnivorous plant enemies that attack by biting) are now able to open their jaws vertically as well as horizontally, giving them the appearance of this trope.

 

* Used in a slightly different manner in [[Stage Select]].

* ''The [[The Perry Bible Fellowship]]'' naturally has its own disturbingly funny take on the subject. (Warning: Not Work Safe.)

* Mentioned in ''[[Queen of Wands]]''. Not nearly as gruesome, but just as disturbing, is singing its praises to the tune of [[The Lion King|Hakuna Matata]], quoted above. (Warning: Not Mind Safe.)

* The fused form of Bob and Lisa, the Sin(s) of Gluttony, from ''[[Jack (webcomic)|Jack]]''. Depending on which one is in control you either get a giant female reptile monster with a male face for a crotch, or vice versa.

* ''Edible Dirt'', almost always a deeply NSFW comic, visits this particular brand of [[Squick]].

* [[Concession]] invokes Predator with their resident [[Our Ghosts Are Different|ghostly]] [[Eldritch Abomination|abomination]].

* One strip of [[Exterminatus Now]] discussed the [[American Gods]] example above, with Lothar pissed that Eastwood didn't warn him about it when recommending the book.

 

* The {{spoiler|flying vagina creature}} in an animated short called ''Cumbersnatch'', as well as the mouths of the [[Freud Was Right|penissauruses]]. As you might suspect, not work safe.

* Part of the anatomy of the Widow in the [[Pokegirls]] setting.

* [[None Piece|"That stung like a woman with teeth in her beef portal!"]]

 

* ''[[Drawn Together]]'': Princess Clara's [[Wicked Stepmother]] cursed her and now her genitalia are a tentacle monster (an "Octopussoir") that scares away potential suitors until she finds her True Love's kiss. Naturally, ''that'' event didn't go quite as planned. The vagina is later surgically removed and goes on to have a more fulfilling love life than its owner. Also subverted in that the "Octopussoir", aside from being a little [[Berserk Button|jumpy]], was actually a very kind creature.

* In the ''[[South Park]]'' episode "Red Hot Catholic Love" after Father Maxi suggests that the laws be changed to allow priests to have sex with women, the Gelgamek cardinal protests, "The Gelgamek vagina is three feet wide and filled with razor-sharp teeth! Do you really expect us to have sex with them?"
