Not intentionally, no. But how painful is it to be swallowed whole, finding yourself in a pitch black area and to be dissolved in stomach acid as flesh dissolves from your body; to having flesh flayed with rending claws; to have teeth tear into your throat as you are unable to defend yourself; or have venom injected into you while a Deathstalker uses its claws to tear you into tinier, more managable, pieces.

Make no mistake, even if they don't consciously prolong suffering, they have the capacity to do so.
