History Main / VacuumMouth

* From ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries'', Experiment #606 (Nicknamed Holio) can do this but can take it UpToEleven as he can turn into a ''black hole''.

* Pre-Crisis Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} has "Super-Suction Breath", which is a variant of her SuperBreath. Instead of expeling large amounts of air from her mouth she inhaled air with the purpose of cutting off someone else's oxygen supply. In ''Comicbook/ActionComics #270'' she knocks out people in her class by sucking out all the air so that she can perform heroics without risking her Secret Identity. In ''[[Comicbook/{{Supergirl 1972}} Supergirl Vol 1]]'' #1 she sucks all the air of a vehicle in order to apprehend a criminal without harming him.

* ''Videogame/ParasiteEve2'': One of the bosses uses this as one of his main weapon, since he himself moves really slow. Getting sucked close enough to his teeth gets you [[{{OneHitKO}} instantly killed]].

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendaryStarfy''

* In the Activision UsefulNotes/{{Atari 2600}} game ''VideoGame/{{Oink}}'', TheBigBadWolf's BreathWeapon becomes part of this when his breath touches one of the three pigs.

* The Walfas program ''[[http://www.walfas.org/flash/create.swf Create.swf]]'' has a background called "DEATH BY YUYUKO", featuring a large [[BigEater Yuyuko]] [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Saigyouji]]. Click on her mouth and she will suck up any character standing before her.

In cartoons this typically appears as a comedic sight-gag, in which a lazy [[BigEater Big Eater]] consumes large amounts of food by sucking it into his mouth. This may be accompanied by the sound of a vacuum cleaner and/or have the character's mouth take the shape of a vacuum nozzle for added humor. Particularly common in animated depictions of elephants, aardvarks, and similar animals, whose trunks and elongated snouts often undergo DinnerDeformation to show what becomes of the consumables they've suctioned up.

** ''VideoGame/{{Kirby}}'' is one of the most famous examples of a character that can weaponize this. His most basic ability is to inhale enemies into his mouth before spitting them out with the force of a cannon or swallowing them to take on their abilities. In ''VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe'', Kirby can become Hypernova Kirby, powering his inhale up to the point of becoming a walking black hole.

* This is how '''you''' consume liquids.

** in''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga'': Birdo, with her large snout, can do this. [[spoiler:Bowletta]] does this on the incapacitated Mario Bros. in the fight against her, leading to them having to defeat [[spoiler:Cackletta's soul]] in her gut.

** Bizarro is sometimes depicted as having "vacuum breath" instead of the usual super breath as part of his repertoire of inverted superpowers.

** Birdo, with her large snout, can do this in ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga'' and certain other spin-offs in the series. [[spoiler:Bowletta does this on the incapacitated Mario Bros. in the fight against her, leading to them having to defeat Cackletta's soul in her gut.]]
** Bowser unexpectedly gaining this ability is responsible for much of the events in ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory'', subjecting the Bros. and numerous Mushroom Kingdom citizens to a FantasticVoyagePlot after he accidentally sucks them up. Later in the game, Bowser gets the Vacuum Block, which lets him control this power and unleash it in battle, allowing him to suck up small or flying enemies that he can't deal with in order to let Mario and Luigi handle them.
** Bowser retains this ability in ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiDreamTeam'', where he uses it to [[spoiler:merge with the shattered Dream Stone for the final boss fight]].
* Several creatures in the ''VideoGame/{{Pikmin}}'' series can pull this out, notably the Fiery Blowhog fought in ''Hey! Pikmin'' and theElectric Cottonade.
* One of the bosses in ''Videogame/ParasiteEve2'' uses this as one of his main weapon, since he himself moves really slow. Getting sucked close enough to his teeth gets you [[{{OneHitKO}} instantly killed]].

* Chaos 6 in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' may attempt to inhale Sonic/Knuckles during the battle, but also has the unintended side effect of sucking in any deactivated ice bombs lying around the arena.

* One of the primary feeding/attack methods used by the Gobul in ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter Tri''.

* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' Villain[=/=]Comic Relief[=/=]AntiHero SelfDemonstrating/{{Bizarro}}, having essentially the opposite powerset of Superman, has Vacuum Breath instead of [[BlowYouAway Super Breath]].

** An enemy by the trope name exists in ''VideoGame/LinksAwakening'', in the second dungeon. Link must cross the room while avoiding being pulled into a bottomless pit surrounding the enemy.
** In ''VideoGame/OcarinaOfTime'', Lord Jabu-Jabu accidentally inhales Link after Link gives him a fish, as he attempts to inhale the fish. It's implied that earlier he also sucked up Princess Ruto, and in Master Quest, ''cows''.

** The Carpet Shark or [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wobbegong Wobbegong]] is another good example of this trope. They hide on the ocean floor [[WallMaster resembling]] mats of seaweed until prey gets within range, then they open their huge mouth and suck nearby fish inside.

* In ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure'', Jotaro had Star Platinum suck up Enya Geil's Stand Justice, which had the form of a large fog, causing Enya to suffocate.

** An enemy by the trope name exists in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening'', in the second dungeon. Link must cross the room while avoiding being pulled into a bottomless pit surrounding the enemy.
** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'', Lord Jabu-Jabu accidentally inhales Link after Link gives him a fish, as he attempts to inhale the fish. It's implied that earlier he also sucked up Princess Ruto, and in Master Quest, ''cows''.

** In ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3D'', the Jestabocky dream eater and its relative, the Ghostabocky, use this as a painful (And as enemies, very annoying) attack, chewing on the victim briefly before spitting them out. Their Ghost Vacuum link attack is a multi-target version.

* ''VideoGame/BanjoTooie'': Weldar, the boss of [[NightmarishFactory Grunty Industries]], has an attack that involves trying to inhale the protagonists (which is where Weldar can be [[FeedItABomb fed an grenade egg]] instead). Given that the boss seems to be a hybrid between a vacuum cleaner and a welding torch, this move is very fitting for him.

* Patrick did this in three episodes of ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants''. First in the episode "Grandma's Kisses", when he sucks up a bunch of cookies offered by Spongebob's grandma, the second time in the episode "Club Spongebob" when he sucks up a sandwich that was on a table, and the third time in the episode "Pat No Pay" when he sucks up a whole bunch of Krabby Patties that were stacked on top of each other.

* Creator/GoldKeyComics' ''Franchise/StarTrek'' story ''[[http://en.memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/The_Planet_of_No_Return The Planet of No Return]]'', a.k.a. ''K-G, Planet of Death'', featured ''[[YouKeepUsingThatWord cannibal]]'' plants which could literally suck a landing party off their feet from a considerable distance.
