* Alpha Complex from ''[[Paranoia (game)|Paranoia]]'' is usually an elaborate underground warren with all the super-science facilities you could ever need.<ref>Then again, continuity has never been a big deal in ''[[Paranoia]]'' so it can be a a domed city, underwater, whatever the GM desires.</ref>
* The dwarves of ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'' live in huge undergound cities, following the example set by [[J. R. R. Tolkien|JRR Tolkien]]. And the [[Rodents of Unusual Size|Skaven]] live below those in big cities and tunnels that span every continent.
* ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' gives us the planet of Calth in the Ultramar sector, where this is the ''only'' kind of base because the sun is deadly. Necron tomb complexes also qualify.
* Despite the name, virtually none of the "dungeons" in any ''Dungeons & Dragons'' campaign are prisons. They're either natural caverns full of unintelligent monsters (rare), tombs full of undead (uncommon), or this trope for the [[Villain of the Week]] (''extremely'' common).

As the fourth edition has transformed the Nine Hells into a planet, Asmodeus' fortress is comprised of the ''entire core'' of that planet.▼

* The entire raison d'etre of House Telamones, Nosferatu bloodline from [[Vampire: The Requiem]]. They build elaborate underground bases to suit the tastes of their undead betters, but woe to the Would-Be Vampire Overlord who accepts the bid from a competing firm... it's mentioned in the text that House Telamones has BLOWN UP an entire CITY BLOCK OF SEATTLE rather than lose a bid.
