History BigEater / VideoGames

** The hippos in Shady Oasis eat a lot of fruits. In the level's outro, a hippo has somehow eaten all the fruit of a big tree shouldn't stop growing fruits

* ''VideoGame/AceCombat7'' has the character known as "AWACS Long Caster". On some missions, he makes some food related metaphors, in addition to his official description stating that he brings food onboard his AWACS plane to eat while he fulfills the role of MissionControl for Cyclops and Strider squadrons. Justified with the following quote:

* Killia of ''VideoGame/Disgaea5'' is known to eat before a battle, occasionally delving into FoodPorn where he describes the meals in question. [[spoiler:It helps distract him from his personal doubts and keeps his repressed inner hatred at bay, but it's only a stopgap, as Chapter 12 sees him eating ever increasing portions, up to and including '''whole dragons'''.]]

* Android 21 from ''VideoGame/DragonballFighterz'' constantly has a desire to eat as many treats as she want to. On one hand, [[spoiler: it's treated as a HorrorHunger as [[EnemyWithout her evil side]] created clones of several characters, and resurrected several villains with the intent of [[ImAHumanitarian devouring them all]].]] But on a much lighter note, [[spoiler: 21's good half]] likes eating sweets without having to resort to eating people. She even mentions how Bulma let her try string cheese for the first time, and ended up eating at least a hundred of them because she loved the taste.
* Tiki the Fairy from ''VideoGame/DragonsCrown'' is at least implied to be this; though a petite, slender fairy girl who is small enough to fit into a standard sized tavern goblet, she's implied to have single-handedly devoured the enough-for-a-party-of-six spread of food at the player characters' table.

** Sabin from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI''. He isn't even afraid to stop and eat a several course meal of ghost food on the Phantom Train, knowing full well that he is being prematurely taken to the other side.

Taking this trope to the extreme, Ilyana even complains that she's dying with an empty stomach when she is ''killed in battle'' (in a game where non-plot critical characters such as herself die for real). One popular [[EpilepticTrees fan theory]] is that she has a tapeworm. Her character specific ending in ''Radiant Dawn'' states that "somewhere, she is hungry."\\

* Sin from ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' is a growing young man (well, [[HalfHumanHybrid gear]]) and is either constantly thinking about food or eating food. In fact, in ''Xrd'', he needs to eat regulary as part of his ''game mechanic''.

* In a third [=BioWare=] game, ''Franchise/MassEffect'', the [[AllThereInTheManual Codex]] reveals that people with biotic abilities (telekinesis) are big eaters since it takes so much energy to use their powers. In order to stay healthy, they need to take in almost three times as many calories as a normal person in their position, and they usually take special high energy drinks or bars right after every battle in which they use their power.

** Sonia Strumm and Bud Bison, as noted by Geo Stelar, Luna Platz and Zack Temple.
** Speaking of Luna, fail to grab her handkerchief in the third game (you have to choose between it, Sonia's fan-gift bag, and Bud's shirt) and watch her gorge on "comfort food". Sonia has the same reaction if you don't pick her hand-bag, and both will pig-out if you save Bud's shirt.

* Naked Snake of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'' would probably qualify for this, as would EVA when you have to escort her. Polishing off two sets of rations (engineered to keep you going for at least a day) in a minute and walking away no less hungry than before? Yeah. The only thing he's interested in during [=ParaMedic's=] nature lessons, is whether he can eat the item in question. Add to that the Boss's comment at the beginning of the game about him having lost weight. Suggests his love of food is a little more that just necessary stamina recovery. In ''Portable Ops'', he complains about Sigint's idea to make eating unnecessary for soldiers, because eating is the highlight of his day.
* Interestingly done in ''VideoGame/MetalSlug''. Eat too much food and your soldier becomes fat ([[AnnouncerChatter Uh-oh, BIG!]]), which slows them down, but increases the power of their weapons. This trope was the reason as to why Nadia joined the team in ''Metal Slug 4'': so she could lose the weight and go into the modeling business. Also featured in the "Good" ending of ''Metal Slug 4'' as well.

** In ''VideoGame/Persona5'', the entire team is shown to have pretty big appetites; Ryuji and the protagonist regularly get into eating contests with each other, and Ann has a massive SweetTooth despite being a part-time model. Yusuke plays this differently, since he often gets excited at the mere mention of food due to his previous guardian Madarame having literally kept him in a perpetual state of starvation.

* The hidden collectibles for OneHundredPercentCompletion in ''VideoGame/SplosionMan'' are wedding-sized cakes, which the character proceeds to nom in a single cram (witha slice or two comically bouncing away). Given that he's a being of living fire, he's not going to worry about weight. He also tends to [[TalkativeLoon mention]] various types of meat while doing things. of course, given that slain characters in this game "bleed" meat...

* Big Smoke in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas'' not only orders enough food for all four people in the car when the player takes CJ's friends to the drive through on a mission, but he actually manages to eat ''everyone's'' meals in the few minutes it takes to finish the car chase immediately after.

* Coach is implied to be a big eater in ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'', but it's never shown since the zombie outbreak kind of ruined his chances of resting so he can eat something big. He likes eating a pizza sub style, possibly having a sweet tooth since he says it's a damn shame the rainstorm in Hard Rain washed all the sugar away, and heavily likes the Burger Tank's BBQ bacon cheeseburger with fries, orange soda with no ice, and an apple pie. When the survivors see a wedding in the park during The Parish, Coach may sometimes ask if the others have seen a wedding cake around.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Mongrelmen}}'', the [[TheBrute legendary mongrelman Cudge]] offers to protect your tribe, at one condition - that he gets all your food stock for himself to gorge upon.

** Storo, the [[StoutStrength muscle]] of the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Squeak Squad]] is probably also a big eater considering his size. Though, the only place he really shows it off is in one of the mini-games in ''VideoGame/KirbySqueakSquad'' where he and Kirby have a quick draw cake eating contest.

* ''VideoGame/LittleNightmares'': The Guests are all enormously fat, and board the Maw to enjoy the massive amount of food cooked by the Chefs. They will also attempt to eat Six if they see her. Interestingly enough, [[NothingButSkinAndBones Six]] is also this, eating everything from a loaf of bread to raw meat to a (proportionally) dog sized rat to a [[spoiler: friendly Nome and eventually, a big chunk of the Lady's flesh]] over the short course of the game.

*** Eggman. The first time he has eaten anything on screen and he downs a 12" sub sandwich in two bites, and does it all in under 10 seconds.

* [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Aldrich, Devourer of Gods]] from ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII''. Presumably, he started with normal food, then graduated to cannibalism after a prophetic dream and acquiring the powers of [[TheDarkArts The Deep]]. Eventually, even that wasn't enough for him and he took to [[UpToEleven devouring the gods themselves]]. When you finally reach him, he's been reduced to a sentient pool of rotten flesh that uses the long dead upper torso of [[spoiler: Dark Moon Gwyndolin from the first game]] as his ''[[GrievousHarmWithABody weapon]]''.

* In ''VideoGame/GirlsFrontline'', some [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots T-Dolls]] like eating more than others. Galil, [=F2000=], FNC, Type-56, Astra 357 and S.A.T.8 are on the thin side, while SPAS-12 is pudgy.

** Chubee, the chubby bee actress, is one of the few who can rival Leif in eating a lot, and proves herself to be a formidable rival in the eating competition.
** Subverted with Zasp, who constantly brags that he can easily win the eating competition, but in practice he's incapable of eating even the half of how much Leif and Chubee can eat, and ends up giving himself indigestion in the middle of the contest.

** One of Gulp's characteristic is that he eats a lot.
** The hippos in Shady Oasis eat a lot of fruits. In the level's outro an hippo has somehow eaten all the fruit of a big tree shouldn't stop growing fruits

* Implied with Youtia in ''VisualNovel/EienNoAselia'', who forces Yuuto to make her lunch. He makes enough for at least four people figuring he can serve the rest to everyone else later, but she eats it all before being satisfied. Considering her personality, though, she might not have eaten in days.

* Manpuku in ''VideoGame/{{Okamiden}}''. He saves Chibiterasu (who he nicknames [[EmbarrassingNickname Pork Chop]]) from being [[StewedAlive cooked in a huge pot of soup]]... ''by drinking the soup''. It's also [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]], his compulsive eating means his mother can't afford to feed his dog, so he gave him to a relative. There's rarely any food in his house because he eats it all, and his mother skips meals often.

* Killia of ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 5}}'' is known to eat before a battle, occasionally delving into FoodPorn where he describes the meals in question. [[spoiler:It helps distract him from his personal doubts and keeps his repressed inner hatred at bay, but it's only a stopgap, as Chapter 12 sees him eating ever increasing portions, up to and including '''whole dragons'''.]]

* In ''Videogame/DragonAgeInquisition'', Sera once ate a positively huge meal, much to her dining partner Blackwall's astonishment. He has no idea where it all goes. In another conversation, Sera explains that she eats like this because she knows what it's like to be truly hungry thanks to growing up in poverty.

** The Cavalier Lowen, Marcus' right hand in ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe FireEmblem 7]]''. A JustifiedTrope because he's actually the [[TeamChef cook of the party]] (mentioned in his supports), and he was raised by his father and grandfather, both former cooks for the Pherae royalty.

* ''VideoGame/MegaManStarForce''

** The main character of ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}''. On one of the dates with Elizabeth, in which the two of them go to all of the strip mall's restaurants, she asks him afterwards if he was alright, as he had "eaten little after our seventh meal". In the Moon social link, the Gourmet King comments on how the main character can eat so much and still stay thin. The main character is also portrayed this way in the [[http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f71/Sil_Screenies/Persona3piece065p17.jpg manga]].

** In ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'', CuteBruiser Chie Satonaka has a voracious appetite, which is taken UpToEleven in [[Anime/Persona4TheAnimation the anime]], where she asks for ten beefsteaks ''plus'' a beef bowl.

* Yuyuko Saigyouji from the ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' series.

* ''VideoGame/{{Tsukumogami}}'' has Saki, a tiny, [[{{Moe}} cute]], [[GenkiGirl hyperactive girl]] who works as the poster-girl at the local WeSellEverything shop - being apparently paid entirely in food, which tends to evaporate around her. However, she's actually a Weasel-spirit in human form, which might explain some of it. Her siblings - [[TalkingAnimal talking weasels]] who lack the spiritual power to change shape - are just as bad, and appear capable of putting away ludicrous amounts of food considering their tiny bodies.

* A RunningGag in ''[[{{VideoGame/Yakuza2}} Yakuza Kiwami 2]]'' involves burly protagonist Kiryu taking the petite hostess Kana out to dinner only to find out that she can out-eat him without breaking a sweat. While this is mostly PlayedForLaughs, Kana comments that she finds it difficult to go out to eat with people because she always racks up such a huge tab compared to her companions.

* Hanako from ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'', also a {{Gonk}} that believes she's gorgeous. When she's on a ''diet'', she eats a bucket of curry.
* ''VideoGame/PunchOut''

* ''VideoGame/RuneFactory''

%%(ZCE)* ''VideoGame/StreetFighter''

* The ''Videogame/StreetFighterV'' version of [[ChainPain Birdie]] is made into this. Not only can he eat various foods to boost his V-Gauge as well as to toss out for certain attacks, but his win animation has him munch on two donuts before pulling a giant one out of nowhere.

* Tubbs in ''Videogame/NekoAtsume''. Whereas other cats will take a few bites from the food bowls and then play with one of the toys, the fluffy, chubby Tubbs will simply devour the entire bowl and then [[CatsAreLazy lounge next to it to digest their meal]].

* ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}''

* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''

* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog''

* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros''

* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', Zelda notes in her diary that one of the first things she learned that the very slender Link has a huge appetite. Considering how often you'll find yourself [[HyperactiveMetabolism digging through your rations to heal yourself up]], she's not wrong.

* ''VideoGame/BlazBlue''

* Crono from VideoGame/ChronoTrigger can apparently drink around 13 bowls of prehistoric soup bigger that his head in 30 seconds. With [[MadeOfIron no repercussions]]!

* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy''

* ''Franchise/FireEmblem''

* Dante Robinson from ''VideoGame/BackyardSports''.

* A creature that appears in ''VideoGame/{{Grow}}'' games is this, notably in ''Grow Cannon'', it can eat a fruit even bigger than itself.

* The [[TropeCodifier original two]] for video games, ''VideoGame/PacMan'' and ''Ms. Pac-Man''.

* In ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'', ''you'' are. The protagonist trainer can grab up to ''50 servings'' of food at the Battle Buffet, Buffet[[note]]You're given 10 turns to grab as much as you can, meaning you can grab 10 entrees if you manage all [=OHKOs=], and the maximum each entree can have is five servings.[[/note]], and scarfs down ''all'' of it after doing so. (Oh, and there's nothing keeping you from going to Mallow's restaurant right after that.)

* [[VideoGame/AkatsukiBlitzkampf Akatsuki]] becomes this in his GuestFighter part in ''VideoGame/UnderNightInBirth''. A JustifiedTrope since not only this game is LighterAndSofter compared with his original one, his hunger is kickstarted [[http://scraper-sky-high.tumblr.com/post/82124975140/akatsuki-is-a-very-serious-character after he uses his considerable powers]].
* It's standard for Franchise/{{Castlevania}} heroes to regain health by eating whole turkeys, pot roasts, etc, but ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia'' takes the practice up a notch by actually making it into a subplot. Shanoa can buy food from the town chef, Aeon, whose cooking is [[LethalChef so awful]] that nobody else will go near it. It would seem like Aeon's kitchen is doomed, but Shanoa eats so much that she's able to single-handedly keep him in business while she's around. One of the dishes he can serve her is a grilled fish about the size of a small car, and at high levels it can take three or four of those in a row to fill Shanoa's health bar all the way.
* Killia of ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 5}}'' is known to eat before a battle, occasionally delving into FoodPorn where he describes the meals in question. [[spoiler:It helps distract him from his personal doubts and keeps his repressed inner hatred at bay, but it's only a stopgap, as Chapter 12 sees him eating ever increasing portions, up to and including '''whole dragons'''.]]
* ''VideoGame/ShadowrunReturns Hong Kong'': Whenever you see Gobbet, she's eating. If she isn't eating, she's planning her next meal. Being a street kid turned Rat shaman, it makes sense that she wouldn't turn down food, but she will also lambast the PC for eating another character's food without permission, and her final RelationshipUpgrade involves her giving you a standing dinner invitation. Food is very clearly important to Gobbet. Oh, and Gobbet is an Ork, but still taller and lankier than most elves.
* ''VideoGame/RecettearAnItemShopsTale'': Tielle, especially when it comes to sweets.
* Munchy Monk of ''VideoGame/RhythmHeaven'' would probably count as one.
* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', Zelda notes in her diary that one of the first things she learned that the very slender Link has a huge appetite. Considering how often you'll find yourself [[HyperactiveMetabolism digging through your rations to heal yourself up]], she's not wrong.
* Manpukumaru Chang of ''VideoGame/ValkyrieDriveBhikkhuni'' spends all of her waking time gorging herself full at the school's cafeteria and her life goal is to become a food reporter. She even manages to make this trope a part of her combat style by being able to eat meat buns in the middle of combat to recover health.
* Albert of ''VideoGame/RevenantSaga'' normally requires about ten times the amount of food a man can eat, mainly due to him housing the soul of a demon in his body.
* A RunningGag in ''[[{{VideoGame/Yakuza2}} Yakuza Kiwami 2]]'' involves burly protagonist Kiryu taking the petite hostess Kana out to dinner only to find out that she can out-eat him without breaking a sweat. While this is mostly PlayedForLaughs, Kana comments that she finds it difficult to go out to eat with people because she always racks up such a huge tab compared to her companions.
* ''VideoGame/TrillionGodOfDestruction'': While most of the Overlords are able to pack away a fair amount of food, due to their training to kill the titular monster, Zeabolos' niece, Perpell, fits this best, what with being the Overlord of Gluttony and all. What keeps her away from the VillainousGlutton trope is that she's by far one of the nicest Overlords, even willing to share some of her snacks with others.
* It is implied in the ''VideoGame/{{ARMS}}'' Grand Prix profile that [[StockShonenHero Spring Man]] can eat 12 pies of pizzas in one sitting. This is taken UpToEleven for his love of [[TrademarkFavoriteFood pizza]]! Not just "eating pizza", just straight-up "pizza"!

* Neptune from ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}''.

* The eponymous VideoGame/FatPrincess.

** Jasper.

* Rufus, the new, {{Acrofatic}} fighter from the USA in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV''.
** The ''Videogame/StreetFighterV'' version of [[ChainPain Birdie]] is made into this. Not only can he eat various foods to boost his V-Gauge as well as to toss out for certain attacks, but his win animation has him munch on two donuts before pulling a giant one out of nowhere.

* The Heavy from ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2''. He sure does love those sand[[strike:w]]viches. He can even earn an achievement for eating 100 Sandviches, which he does with great gusto, one after another. Well, he certainly needs all those carbs to lug around his 150-kilogram minigun, and his belly roll makes for great recoil cushioning.

** ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'' introduced curry, which trainers can prepare for themselves and their Pokémon. There are a number of Pokémon that have their serving of curry being rather large in comparison to their trainer's serving. Many of them are unevolved Bug-types (such as Caterpie, Snom, or Wimpod) whose evolved forms only eat a spoonful of curry.

* ''[[Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona Persona]]'':

** [[LittleBitBeastly Makoto]] [[MsFanservice Nanaya]] is heavily implied, if not outright stated, to be this. Her introduction in ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' is at [[HospitalHottie Litchi's]] clinic, having injured herself by falling out of a tree she was climbing for exercise and fun (yeah, she's like that) after eating several platefuls at an all-you-can-eat buffet with her friends Noel and Tsubaki. She's often shown [[SweetTooth eating snacks and sweets]], and one of her winquotes is:

--->'''AWACS Long Caster:''' Sorry, but I'm gonna eat while I work. My judgement goes fuzzy when I'm too hungry.
