Devoured

Investigators who become devoured are considered to be instantly and irrevocably destroyed. They are removed from the game. The affected player must immediately discard all of their cards (including Unique Items, Common Items, Allies, Spells, and so on), but keeps all monster and gate trophies. If the game is not in the middle of the Final Battle, the affected player draws a new investigator at random and begins play at the start of the next game turn as if he were starting a new game.

Additionally, some Ancient Ones (such as Eihort) have special events that occur when an investigator is devoured.
