== Video Games ==
* The Dodongo from ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' games are giant dinosaurs who when fed Link's bombs will damage it or make it susceptible to attack from his sword.
** Oddly, in the original ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' game, it was more effective to let a bomb explode in ''front'' of the Dodongo. This stunned it and let you kill it in one shot (and one bomb), while it had to swallow three bombs to kill it that way.
** Pretty much every other boss in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages|The Legend of Zelda Oracle Games]]'' involves Link throwing bombs in its mouth, such as the aforementioned Dodongo, and other bosses like the giant spinning Head Thwomp and the frequent mini-boss Facade.
Line 75:
** What seems like every other enemy in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|The Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass]]'' is defeated this way.
** In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker]]'', the enemies called Armos Knights and the boss Gohdan are defeated this way.
** Scaldera in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword]]'' requires this strategy as well. And, while it's far from the only way to kill them, throwing a bomb at a Deku Baba or Quadro Baba will cause them to instinctively grab it with their mouth, at which point all you have to do is sit back and wait for it to explode.
* Several enemies and bosses in the ''[[Metroid Prime]]'' series require you to morph into a ball, get swallowed, and lay bombs inside the enemy's stomach to damage them. These include the Stone Toad from the very first ''Prime'' game and Amorbis from ''Metroid Prime 2''.
** Also, the Metroid Queen from ''[[Metroid]] II''; you don't have to do it to beat the Queen, but it's generally faster and healthier (for you) than the alternative. {{spoiler|In [[Metroid: Other M|Other M]], you kill the Queen in this very fashion... with ''much'' more potent ordinance. [[Guide Dang It|Now if the game was arsed into telling you this at the time...]] whatev'.}}
Line 88:
* The Chaos 6 boss from ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic Adventure]]'' tries to suck you into its mouth. You defeat it by getting it to suck in the freeze bombs (Chaos is a sentient, shapeshifting water creature) [[Tactical Suicide Boss|that Robotnik keeps chucking at you]] and then smashing it when it freezes; rinse, repeat.
* Weldar, the visually impaired welding torch from ''[[Banjo-Kazooie|Banjo-Tooie]]'' is defeated by using grenade eggs when he tries to suck the player up. You can also use Fire Eggs, cause hey, he's full of gas.
* Andross from the ''[[Star Fox (series)|Star
** Except in the original, SNES game, where it does...nothing. But since there's no enemies after this point, might as well use your bombs for something visually appealing.
* Wart, the antagonist and final boss of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', can only be killed by Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad throwing five vegetables into his mouth.
Line 101:
* This is an extremely easy way of farming gavial meat in ''[[Metal Gear Solid]] 3''. Cock a grenade and wait until the gavial yawns. Another ''very'', shall we say, "unique" example in MGS3, where one boss looks for food when he runs low on stamina. By leaving rotten or poisoned food lying around, you can make him ''[[Nightmare Fuel|vomit to death]]'', for which you are rewarded.
* Early on in ''[[The Neverhood]]'', you have to feed a statue of yourself made of TNT to a [[Giant Enemy Crab]], which then explodes violently in a cutscene. Your cousin then begins eating its now-cooked remains, something that's a good bit [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMMks3_PDLI funnier than it sounds].
* One of the bosses in ''[[Aquaria (video game)|Aquaria]]'' can only be defeated by luring the mooks that he spawn into a gas vent and dragging the resulting gas-bloated explosive mooks into his mouth when he tries a vortex attack.
* In ''[[Bomberman]] 64'', chucking a bomb into the mouth of the Leviathan boss in Blue Resort nets the player a Gold Card. It also deals twice the damage the bomb would've normally done. This isn't required to defeat the boss, though.
* In [[Gears of War]] 2, you fight a giant fish who likes to chomp down on your boat. He's defeated by moving into his mouth and chucking grenades into his throat.
Line 121:
* Hapurubokka, a giant sand fish/worm/toad thing from ''[[Monster Hunter]]''. One of the easiest ways to deal damage to it is to plant some bombs or Shock Traps and make him chase you into them with its mouth open. Once they go off, it'll stagger him, giving an opening. Another thing is that [[Attack Its Weak Point|the most vulnerable part of him is his Uvula]].
* In ''[[Blinx]]'', the best way to kill Keroppers (frog monsters who swallow anything fired at them from the front whole) is to shoot bombs at them.
* The player can be vulnerable to this in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Brawl''. Kirby, Dedede, and Wario can each swallow explosive items. While this causes about 5 damage, it's most likely a LOT more preferable to what most explosives do when they go off.
* This happens to Bean in ''[[Sonic the Fighters]]'' if he is hit by a opponent related throw.
* In ''[[Nie R]]'', the most effective way to deal with the final form of the Junk Heap boss is to toss bombs into its mouth when it [[Breath Weapon|fires its laser]].
