Crapsack World/Toys
- LEGO Bionicle was fond of using such settings whenever and wherever possible:
- The first example may be the Metru Nui of the Visorak saga: a once beautiful and colorful urban utopia turned into a monster-infested spider nest, with crumbled buildings and almost perpetual darkness, overseen by an Unholy Matrimony of a Big Bad-The Man Behind the Monsters and his Dragon-Starscream.
- Thankfully, Metru Nui was rebuilt once the Matoran came back as well as the repossession of the Staff of Artakha.
- Voya Nui: a barren wasteland with barely any resources, dangerous animals, and no contact with the outside world. Overrun by a Quirky Miniboss Squad composed of Exclusively Evil characters, the Piraka.
- While we're at the Piraka, lets mention their home island of Zakaz: like the above, but every inhabitant is an Exclusively Evil loon, and their war never stops. Basically a Wretched Hive.
- Bara Magna: Also like Voya Nui, but it's a full-blown desert planet. However the villains here are far more cunning and skilled than the zany Piraka.
