* In ''VideoGame/ARKSurvivalEvolved'', there's quite a few examples. Megatherium, which is said to be herbivorous in reality, is considered an omnivore in-game that also eats meat and honey and is adapted to eating insects, and in fact, meat tames a Megatherium faster than berries and crops. However, there might be a possible debate whether or not Megatherium included meat into it's diet. Another example is the prehistoric myriapod Arthropleura, which is shown to be a carnivore in-game with a particular taste for rotting flesh. In real life, Arthropleura is said to be a plant-eater. However, it's favorite taming food is Broth of Enlightenment, and almost all of the ingredients for the broth are berries or veggies, but that's the only plant-based item the Arthro will ever eat in ARK. Another example are the herbivorous synapsids Moschops and Purlovia, and while the Moschops in-game is shown to be omnivorous, the Purlovia is shown to be a strict carnivore in game. The dossier even lampshades the Purlovia's diet.

* In the [[https://www.tumblr.com/monerelurking/tagged/dragon%20dash Dragon Dash]] au by Monerelluvia, Rainbow Dash is part dragon as a result of a SuperhumanTransfusion when she was a filly. One of the less pleasant side-effects is developing a more carnivorous palette, resulting in her [[https://www.tumblr.com/monerelurking/46754314753/unexpected-by-gonedreamer making a meal of one of Fluttershy's critters]].

TruthInTelevision -- most herbivorous animals will eat carrion if they get the chance because it provides nutrients (such as calcium) that are hard to find elsewhere.

* ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'' has a truly surreal example: Dvorak's ''waffle irons''. He programmed them to recharge when their batteries ran low; he never specified ''how''.
** Sam's alien biochemistry is based on such simple proteins that Earth herbivores find him not only edible but ''tasty'' and [[RunningGag keep trying to bite pieces off]], as opposed to humans who apparently [[BrownNote compulsively vomit at the sight of him]]. Among the list of things that tried to kill him before he got a full environment suit is ''papilio rutulus'', the western swallowtail butterfly - or at least its caterpillars.
