Despite seeing your reply on this post several times before, I only now have the urge to respond.
and it's not me bashing your picks, just me putting my 2¢ on the matter sense I can't really cover most without grouping them with a corresponding company or genre.
So yeah.That being said …
No.1
Dr Viper? Yes. Most definitely. Heck I'd even include Dr Purvis, his identity before becoming Dr Viper.
Not so much his kaiju form Viperzilla, but that's just because I prefer same size to half size vore, cause I like size ratios where the prey shows on the pred. I'll admit that scenarios I play with contradict that ideal, but it's usually because the pred has special muscle control that allows them to cram the prey into a practically airtight space so they don't show up. Admittedly I have less preds that utilize this aspect compared to what you'd think, but it's mostly for preds I can't imagine having a vore belly, so there.
Tangent aside, my other preds from Swat Kats include Chance Furlong aka T-Bone, Prof Hackle, Mayor Manx, Dr Harley Street (before being mutilated by the Ci-cat-a), and Hard Drive (both with and without the Charge Suit).
Of course only the ones that are villains are relevant to this forum, but that should give you an idea of what I like in my preds.
But now on to…
No.2
Prof Ratigan? Yes. Most definitely. Out of the few adaptations of Sherlock Holmes I would find preds out of, only one is canonically a pred (The Hounds of Baskerville), on who fits the bill and even has a name is only for one episode (Victor from Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century, S1 Ep5: the Crooked Man), and while Extreme Ghostbusters had a pred with a cool concept (a skeletal beast that swallowed the ghost of Watson), it was (no pun intended) pretty barebones. It's literally an animal skeleton, it didn't even have a ghostly aura to highlight or outline it. It's a wonder what held Watson in place in its nonexistent stomach.
Really the adaptation with the most preds for me is Sherlock Hound, with Dr Watson (my favourite character of the show), Inspector Lestrade (he's big enough to be a human(dog) prison cell for at least Smiley and Tod), and Prof Moriarty (the only wolf in the show, and the primary villain/antagonist of the show).
But yeah, with all that said, Ratigan is also in there with preds from the Sherlock Holmes mythos.
1) because he's a rat, and rats are a bit underrated as preds since in reality they are low on the food chain.
2) he freakin' looks like a pred, and even would be the kind you very likely wouldn't be able to escape without help. (I mean the guy is huge compared to everyone that's not a cat or dog, plus his figure definitely screams that he could bench press anyone below his height, so yeah.)
3) and this is more from my personal standpoint, he just pulls off the 4 o'clock shadow in a classy way, and sometimes the 4 o'clock shadow can be enough for some, but he has it in class. That's good stuff.
I know he's not the canonical pred in the movie, but rats will eat mice when push comes to shove, heck they'll eat their one of their own if push comes to shove, so its not particularly out there, and let's face it, we all have our own personal standpoints on vore that either contradicts or derails the rules established in whatever form of media in question, so I don't think I'm in any position to say whether or not it matter.
But yeah, It'd probably be below him (or not even in him in any way) but I'd rather have him eat me than his previous pet cat.
(Not that I'm planning to kill myself via being someone else's meal. I'm not suicidal.)
No.3
Sorry, but no. If there was any pred from the Star Wars series that I would want to be eaten by, then it would have to be Chewbacca.
There are a few other options, but I can tell you now, they all fall under a canine theme.
Anything else is off my list.
You guys can like what you like, I can't and won't stop you (I mean what gives me the right to do so anyway?), but I'm not in that boat.
For as much as I may fancy or even simp for preds with a bit more heft, I'm not into ones that are just flab and nothing more.
Honorary Round!No.4
Snake Jafar? Nah. Unfortunately there's not really an villains from Aladdin that really hit the buttons for me.
Some come close but nothing really that would gravitate to.
Really my votes go to Rajah and the Cave of Wonders, and the latter is a bit negated due to being a cave and not a being of its own.
If the Guardian of the cave had a body of his own, he'd be higher up, but as is he's taken down a bit.
I do like the idea of a genie being a pred, there has been examples of that done well, but I definitely think that it depends on the genie in question to appeal to the individual, and Genie Disney's Aladdin is nowhere near that ballpark for me.
Yes he can shape shift into Disney characters that DO appeal to me in that way, but it's still obvious that it's Genie, and I would have to be into him on the subject to begin with.
This is why I've made my own genie for the subject.
Really when it comes to the mythos of the Arabian Nights, (with the exception of some of the creatures found in Sinbad's stories) the one character to come out of it that I can say without a doubt is in my ballpark is Merlock from DuckTales: Treasures of the Lost Lamp. (He appears in comics as well as Donald Duck: Going Quackers, but otherwise he's very underused. He only got a namedrop in the DuckTales Reboot and he wasn't even part of the plot of any ark! And the incarnation of his henchmen was!)
Again that probably tells you what I'm into with my preds.
No.5
Kaa? Gonna be real here, anyone who has The Jungle Book as a source for preds is more likely to have Kaa on their list of preds than not. And, I get it, snakes are universally the one type of animal that comes to mind when it comes to vore, and I don't have to explain why, it's that obvious, and there are too many reasons for why it just is.
And while I've loosened up on my personal standards on the matter (seriously I'm not planning any of these potential puns), I still prefer something different from the crowd.
It should be pretty obvious by now that I lean towards mammals as preds with very little exceptions, so as such, Baloo (my favourite character in just about any adaptation), Shere Khan, back even Bagheera in some cases are more my speed.
I've softened to the ideas of safe vore scenarios with Kaa (basically therapy sessions with vore), but other than that (and an accidentally merge through vore idea I've had for a while) I more entertained the idea of Kaa by eaten by Baloo as a backfired attempt at hypnosis!
I've even been convinced to try King Louie as a pred. Think about that.
I like wolves as preds, and you have to have done something wrong with that wolf or it just doesn't do anything for me to not have it in my list of preds, and yet not a single version of them from any version of The Jungle Book appear in my list!
Not even

No.6
Smaug? Well… the version from the 1977 animated adaptation. (yes I'm fickle, thanks for noticing!)
Again, more a mammal person, and what can I say? I like my dragons fluffy! Like Falkor!
No.7
Al Negator? Meh…? I dunno, certainly scalies have gotten to sway me (and that's not an easy feat), but I think I'd need to see if the character speaks to me in a way that gets me before I can say. Though I do enjoy Koosh's "Santa Al" story.
