  2. Here is one to add if you care to, and yes it happened to a character of mine in a game.

    The character wakes up hoping to find the beautiful damsel he rescued from some hooligans in the street and who repaid his services by bedding him, only to discover that she is a weretigeer and plans to make him dinner.
