* In a special manga {{Crossover}} pairing the characters from {{One Piece}} and {{Toriko}}, one of the creatures encountered on Gourmet Island was a giant tiger with a vicious-looking fox jutting out of its mouth, which in turn had an angry scarred pig jutting out of its mouth. The creature is most notable for having an unmeasurable capture level.
