->''“That is your wish, isn’t it? To eat meat? Like your fox friend… Nick?”'''
-->'''???'''

''Hunger'' is a ''{{WesternAnimation/Zootopia}}'' Fanfic by Bug_53.

After struggling to stomach Nick eating meat, Judy becomes frustrated and wishes she could eat the same things Nick could eat, so that situations like this wouldn't happen. That night, a mysterious voice offers to grant her wish, and while skeptical, she agrees just to shut them up. Next morning, she finds that not only is meat suddenly appealing to her, it is the best thing she's ever tasted. Everything seems to be looking up, but as time goes on, Judy's thoughts are increasingly consumed by a desire for meat, and no matter how much she eats, she never quite feels full.

According to WordOfGod, ''Hunger'' was inspired by a number of one-shot fan fics where Judy tries meat and likes it, and they wanted to put a new spin on it, eventually getting the idea of her liking it a little too much for her own good.

It can be read [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/22872724/chapters/54668629 on AO3]] or [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13508641/1/Hunger on FF.net]].

!!''Hunger'' provides examples of:
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Essentially the crux of the story. Judy wants to be able to eat meat, and gets it, only for it to consume her from the inside out
** Happens again to [[spoiler:Nick, when he tells the wish granter that he wants this whole mess forgotten. The wish granter removes the curse, as well as Judy's memories of him]]
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Judy is freed of her HorrorHunger, but has lost her memories of Nick in the process. Nick decides to make the best of it, and restart their friendship from scratch, which she agrees to, with the implication that her memories might not be gone for good.]]
* HereWeGoAgain: The final chapter ends with [[spoiler:Finnick getting a call from the wish granter after wishing he were taller]].
* HorrorHunger: What Judy's newfound desire for meat ultimately turns out to be. In fact, acting on it actually seems to make it worse.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Nick becomes worried that something isn't right when he sees Judy's sudden reversal of opinion regarding meat, which becomes worse when he sees her repeatedly wolf down large servings of meat and still want more.
* WarmBloodbagsAreEverywhere: By chapter 6, Judy's HorrorHunger has gotten so bad that she starts seeing the mammals around her as various meaty delicacies.
* WhamShot: In Chapter 5, Judy looks in the mirror and discovers [[spoiler: that she has ''canine teeth''.]]
