How the defender knows the monster is making an attack is the issue; he's in its stomach, so why would he get extra attacks?But, to the point, a swallowed defender is doing his job; he's supposed to make a better target and take the damage for others. And a monster swallowing the defender means that someone more vulnerable didn't get swallowed. He's taking the no doubt worse punishment.For instance, if a healer gets swallowed, then the healing is useless; line of sight/effect is gone. In fact, that's the monster's best tactic.Although it occurs to me that this issue is moot, at least as far as the monster I was going to use is concerned; the Devourer takes a target out of play, and they can make no actions.</blockquote>
