[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 9228188, member: 2629"] Yeah - when I say "can't damage me while inside", I'm talking about things like having equipment that could not be digested (either at all, or without poisoning me). This has all come up before. The below are highlights from prior conversations ... The stomach of a bear that is the size of an elephant, or of a snake much larger than that, could hold a creature. It would not fit a large creature, but something small would be very easy, and a medium would be ... tight, but likely not impossible. And could such a stomach dissolve a corpse? A human secrets about 1.5 liters of gastric acid a day. A creature two sizes up would be estimated to secret about 64 times that much - or around 100 liters of gastric acid in a day. That is about 25 gallons of very potent acid. Go watch season 1 of Breaking Bad. If we want to go realistic, you'd die insanely quickly in a stomach. This is heroic fantasy, so anything is possible ... but in reality, the lack of oxygen in the stomach (especially as you displace it for what I would have to assume would be an epic belch), the acid, and the crushing motion of the stomach would end you quickly. Or, to put it another way - imagine you swallowed a mouse whole (or it was teleported inside your stomach). Is that going to kill you? [/QUOTE]
