Living like a parasite inside the stomach of a predator

Idea:
Some people in Felarya have learned a set of skills which allows them to survive inside of the stomach of a predator. They actively seek out a predator to live inside of their stomach, however long they wish.

Reasons are as a way to survive if the environment is extremely dangerous, as a way to easily get food, warmth in a cold environment, a way to travel, etc.

With magic, they protect themselves from the stomach's acid and perhaps also magically create air to breathe.

They get into the stomach by simply letting themselves be eaten. If the predator knows about these "parasites" and is hesitant, they might try to look extra tempting. Perhaps some predators see some benefits in it - like the "parasite" being a knowledgable partner - and the two make a deal.

They can either keep their existance a secret from the predator or they might not care that it is known since the predator can't do anything about it anyway. In a story I think this could be used both for comedy (I imagine an irritated predator arguing back and forth with the "friend" in her belly she is stuck living with, maybe developing a strange relationship and alliance eventually). It might also be an enjoyable concept for the sake of the fetish.

The parasite escapes when the predator is sleeping, by climbing up through the esophagus and escaping through the mouth. If this is too unrealistic, perhaps some sort of magic which "freezes" the predator is used. The parasite might also tie a rope around one of the teeth to be able to climb up into the back of the mouth to be able to take a peek of the outside world, or perhaps to better talk with the predator. Maybe a magical portal is created inside of the stomach so the parasite can come and go (maybe even with guests!).

Well with an idea you'd need a how and why. Brainstorming the sets of skills that someone could use to do such a thing could work. We used to have a system years ago where we tried to classify all types of magic, but Felarya being what it is made that a very difficult thing to do. So far I see what seems to be a proposal for an idea, something that a person or group of persons could do. The question is, how? Magic spells, plants, etc, that help increase survivability. We do have salvalopytha (spelling?) which is a plant that can help delay digestion, but the issue is that in Felarya once you're trapped in a stomach its (usually) fatal.

Thas Voidfingers from the manga, I believe is the one who specializes in dimensional magic, so used dimensional magic to get out like going through a wormhole.

on a side note, this place is pretty much used for cataloguing ideas now. The actual discussions about Felarya have more or less moved on to a different platform with the advent of Reddit and Discord. We don't have an official former, but the latter avenue exists.

Thank you for the feedback.

Do you and do you think others might like the idea? It has to be likable enough for there to be a chance that someone might use it in fiction and art after all to be worth explaining the 'how'.

My own opinion is that it's both comedic - a predator who is annoyed at the "freeloaders" in her belly she can't get rid of, and also erotic for the sake of the fetish. And those who are attracted to consensual vore might feel there's a reason for it to exist in Felarya beside the prey being either suicidal or a crazy adrenaline addict.

If you find a genie, you might be able to convince them to cast a spell on you to make you invulnerable to digestion and able to breathe, or if you find the right runes, you'd probably be able to make an amulet that can protect you and produce oxygen. With the genie, she'll probably want to test it immediately if she's hungry. Also, I'd recommend finding a willing predator whose willing to spit you out if needed. Who knows, maybe it would help poor Lea along with that amulet she wears to hide from predator sense. Though she'd probably have to worry even more about her friends wanting to eat her even more due to it. Or you could create some kind of lotion or that would neutralize the stomach acid or make you immune. Felarya is a highly unstable pocket dimension, these might work, if not, hopefully, you pass out before digestion kicks in.

Great to hear that there's several ways that this could work within Felarya

That's a funny idea - Lea using magic to survive predation, and ending up getting hunted more for the effort!

Thanks for the feedback. It was interesting to read

Your welcome. Now if you want, you can check out my two races. The Pendraigs (a giant draconic humanoid race), and the Niseag (a race of Plesiosaur-like taurs) and let me know what you think. Constructive criticism helps writers hone their skills and learn from their mistakes.
