I don`t think simply swallowing a scion whole would necessitate a lot
of transfer--or any at all, really. This kind of thing might depend
on the circumstances involved, of course, and DM fiat can be pretty
broad, but the fundamental concept involved in bloodtheft is
_supposed_ to be that the scion`s heart is pierced. Unless he`s
actually impaled by teeth, a scion who was swallowed whole would,
probably, die of crushing injuries, suffocation, chronic halitosis or
something along those lines, all of which would leave behind a
bruised, smooshed and unbeating heart--but one that remains more or
less unpierced. If a scion dies with his heart unpierced then his
bloodline "dies" with him (or is passed on to his heir.) At the
moment of death the scion`s heart becomes so much muscle and
plasma. A creature that gobbled down a scion whole would, therefore,
not perform bloodtheft when that scion`s heart was eventually damaged
(read: "digested") after the scion himself had died by other,
non-heart-piercing actions.
There are a few things to indicate that the blood itself plays some
sort of role in bloodine and bloodtheft, and a couple of existing
awnshegh who appear to perform acts of bloodtheft that involve the
blood itself, so one could find some sort of rationale for allowing a
transfer then, but since those cases are so limited they can be
handled on a case-by-case basis.

I think that often if the monster eats the scion the bloodtheft is treated as if tighmaevril was used - see the vampires blood-draining or the power gained by the Boar. I don't think there is a set rule though, and it may depend on whether the target is a scion of azrai who's bloodline often seems to want to be claimed by the consumer - so it can corrupt...

I realised that most of the awnsheghlien called vampires or werewolfs or whatever are called this because the unique powers they gained from The blood tend to make them resemble a mythological creature in some way.
Its not that they actually start as a vampire or a gorgon and get blood powers.
This does suggest an existing mythology and creatures in the histories but a more organic story - it looks like, it smells like so we call it one.
