What happens when [[All Myths Are True]] is turned [[Up to Eleven]]? You get a Fantasy Kitchen Sink! Everything is true, even if it comes from vastly different origins. So not only are there really [[The Fair Folk|fairies]], there are [[Our Ghosts Are Different|ghosts]], [[Our Vampires Are Different|vampires]], [[Wolf Man|werewolves]], [[Mummy|mummies]], [[Sea Monster
In general when you have a Fantasy Kitchen Sink, the premise is mostly used for [[Monster of the Week]]
Compare this to, for instance, the various ''[[
The opposite of [[Meta Origin]], in which all of the supernatural elements of a setting come from the same single origin or event. Inevitably results in at least one character who's [[Seen It All]]. If the fantasy elements are used to explain how reality really works, it leads to discovering the [[Magical Underpinnings of Reality]].
Compare [[Crossover Cosmology]], [[Planet Eris]], [[Domino Revelation]] and [[Anachronism Stew]]. May combine with [[Crapsack World]] if the Fantasy Kitchen Sink has elements of the [[Darker and Edgier]]. [[If Jesus, Then Aliens]] is the logic used creating this world. Of course, tends to result in [[Pals

== Anime
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]''--
** Negi Springfield slowly discovers that his class of 31 "[[Ordinary High School Student|ordinary]]" middle-school girls includes a [[Ridiculously Human Robot|ridiculously human]] [[Battle Butler|combat]] [[Robot Girl|robot]], a [[Cute Ghost Girl|ghost]], [[Sealed Badass in
** Plus whatever the deal is with Ako (scar), Akira (super abilities), and Sakurako ([[Born Lucky|unnatural luck]]).
*** It's even lampshaded at one point, as Mana had figured that {{spoiler|Zazie Rainyday}} ''couldn't'' be normal simply because hardly anybody in the class was.
** The school itself has [[The World Tree]], [[The Library of Babel]], [[Wizarding School]](s), and an engineering club that builds [[Humongous Mecha]] for the [[School Festival]]. And this is in our normal world; the ENTIRE [[Another Dimension|Magic World]] is like this!
* The title character of ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' may well have {{spoiler|reformatted her universe in order to make a Fantasy Kitchen Sink possible, because she considered any other kind of world too boring}}. In effect, ''almost everybody'' in her class turned out some kind of alien or supernatural, and [[Fandom]] has doubts about those who haven't yet. [[Token Human|Except Kyon, who is confirmed to be perfectly normal]], [[Epileptic Trees|but fandom doesn't entirely trust that]].
* ''[[Magical Pokaan]]'' is a Fantasy Kitchen Sink from the get-go - a werewolf, a vampire, an android and a witch (all of them [[Cute Monster Girl
* ''[[
* ''[[Rosario
* Judging by the shared characters, ''Kon Kon Kokon'', ''[[Kamichama Karin]]'', and ''Doki-doki Tama-tan'' all take place in the same universe/timeline. Which is odd, because ''Kokon'' has [[Obake]], ''Kamikarin'' has magical [[Greek Mythology|Greek God]] rings and {{spoiler|human cloning}}, and ''Tama-tan'' is something to do with alien [[Moon Rabbit
* ''[[Soul Eater]]'': a Shinigami runs a supernatural school, which runs into an incredibly old Golem, a cat that turns into a busty woman, an incredibly old vampire, and Insanity Incarnate, truckloads of witches and an undead mummy pharaoh. Gets extra points for ''staging them all on this Earth''.
* ''[[Digimon]]'' gives you your robots (Andromon, Metalwhatevermon), your funny animals (Terriermon, Gatomon), your furries (Renamon, Leomon, Weregarurumon), your aliens (Vademon), your angels (Angemon, Angewomon, Seraphimon, Ophanimon, Magnaangemon, Lucemon), your dragons (Seadramon, Greymon, Magnadramon, Azulongmon) your demons (Devimon, Ladydevimon, Icedevimon, Skullsatamon, Marinedevimon, Daemon, Beelzemon), your [[Eldritch Abomination
* A manhwa rather than a manga, but ''[[Witch Hunter]]'' has [[King Arthur]], the Chinese Empire, Hindu Gods, Norse Gods, elemental spirits, [[Wicked Witch|wicked witches]] ([[Cute Witch|cute]] or [[Hot Witch|hot]]) with [[Nice Hat|nice hats]], the Moirae, a dragon [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|and a]] [[Necromancer]].
* ''[[One Piece]]'' in part plays this straight, and in part allows it to be through the [[Applied Phlebotinum]] of the Devil Fruits. The Devil Fruits enable such things as Zombies, a Thunder God, living weapons, teleportation, Medusa, beastmen crosses with various species, living skeletons, and other mythical/fantastic concepts. Fantasy concepts in the series existing entirely independently of Devil Fruits include Fishmen, Merfolk, Sea Monsters, people from the moon (who have stunted wings), and Cyborgs. It's almost a [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]] world, except for the Ninja.
** And it's only a matter of time before ninjas are introduced.
*** An island with Samurai has been confirmed, ninjas are a good bet
* One episode of ''[[Flint the Time Detective]]'' had the characters going back to meet [[Hans Christian Andersen]]. Due to magic, all his characters (well, at least the non-nightmarish ones) came out of their stories and interacted with the protagonists...[[Mind Screw|which made things kinda confusing.]]
* So far, the [[The Verse|Naritaverse]] (which includes ''[[Baccano
* ''[[Kore wa Zombie Desu
* ''[[Gantz]]''. Oku seems to include everything that comes to his mind in the series.

* ''[[High School
* ''[[Silent Möbius]]'' centers on a Cyborg, a Mage, a Psychic, a Miko, and a Technomancer fighting a demonic invasion under the command of one of said demons' half-human spawn.
== Card Games ==▼
* ''[[Magic the Gathering]]''. With some 10,000+ different cards, it's hard to think of any fantasy concepts that aren't represented.▼
** It's all magic, though, with little or no aliens or science fiction. A little [[Magitek]], a fair number of [[Badass Normal]] creatures, but the vast majority of it fits into a sword-and-sorcery setting and indeed is connected by one [[Myth Arc]].▼
** Worth noting is that within individual settings or "planes", the fantasy concepts that appear tend to be more restricted in scope (eg, a [[Land of One City]] plane, a Japanese-myth-inspired plane, a Magitek plane, etc.). Only when taken as a whole does the game itself become a kitchen sink (ie, a game with Lands Of One City and Japanese myth and Magitek, etc.).▼
** On the other hand, the annual core sets are specifically designed to embody this trope, introducing cool cards that would have no place in the specific settings (such as [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=220170 Vengeful Pharaoh]) as well as reprinting various cards from the game's past▼
* The [[Yu-Gi-Oh Card Game]] also has this. It features cards based on different folklores and myths from different cultures such as Japanese, Greek, European, Celtic, Nordic, etc. And the list only grows at each new edition. All the robots, superheroes, dinosaurs, ninjas...▼
▲== Comic Book ==
* ''[[Runaways]]'' has particular fun with this, with the original main villain group consisting of two wizards, two mutants, two aliens, two time travelers, two mad scientists, and two [[Badass Normal]] crime bosses. ''By design''.
* [[Marvel Universe|Marvel]] is undoubtedly a Fantasy Kitchen Sink, and is quite happy to have [[Iron Man]] beat up on Loki if it feels [[Rule of Cool|it'll make a good story]]. [[Conan the Barbarian]], [[Transformers]], [[Godzilla]], and [[Zoids]] all used to be part of the [[Marvel Universe]] and elements from those series are still floating around occasionally bumping into the [[
** [[DC Comics]] is not much different. It has Greek and Roman gods, wizards, Faeries, aliens, Dinosaur Island, [[The Warlord|sword & sorcery tales]], [[Doc Savage]], the guy from ''Gladiator'' (the [[Gladiator|superhuman novel]], not the [[Gladiator (
*** That's not even getting into the licenced works. If half the stuff [[Atop the Fourth Wall
*** The Doctor is also part of the Marvel Universe, since the Doctor Who comics were/are produced by Marvel.
* ''[[
** Also, any anachronisms caused by the Endless don't count, since they're [[Reality Warper
* The comic ''[[Gold Digger (Comic Book)|Gold Digger]]'' is a great example of this trope, with a few flavors of aliens, were-creatures, dragons, leprechauns, elves, trolls, genetically engineered races, races descended from advanced robots, a time traveling super-intelligent dog, and a dozen other things. Quite often their origins are related but it never nears the level of a [[Meta Origin]].
* ''[[
* Mike Mignola's ''[[Hellboy (
* Carla Speed-McNeil describes her [[Finder]] series as "aboriginal sci-fi", set in a world of feathered dinosaurs, genetically engineered centaurs, a race of anthropomorphic lionesses that "crowns" their kings with a metamorphic virus, schools where you can major in prostitution, domed cities based on lost technology, a blind archaeology professor who wears prosthetic legs similar to an ostrich's, mechanical television kudzu, and a clan that appears to be all female and resembles Marlene Dietrich. Oh, and magic is real (albeit not as glamorous as in other worlds.) The whole thing may or may not be set on an Earth of the far-flung future, as archaeologists have dug up films like "Night Of The Hunter" and "The Producers".
* One character from Chaos comics starts off as a human angel hybrid living in ancient Egypt who gets bit by a vampire and becomes...something not a vampire. She meets demons, monster clowns, death spirits, and the devil, all to be expected but not next to Norse gods.
Line 73 ⟶ 65:
== Film ==
* ''[[Van Helsing]]'' takes various monsters from 1940s horror movies and does whatever it likes with them, [[They Just Didn't Care|regardless of the books]].
** Both the Universal and Hammer [[Monster Mash]] movies already were this trope, combining several flavors of mythology (vampires, werewolves, mummies) with the proto-scifi [[
* The ''[[Godzilla]]'' series and its related films feature dinosaurs that have survived until the present day to be mutated by atomic testing, present-day animals mutated by atomic testing, nearly a dozen different intelligent alien races trying to conquer us with various monsters and [[Humongous Mecha]], [[Time Travel]], mystical creatures and gods of religions that don't really exist, a massive sentient plant made by mixing a rose's DNA with Godzilla's and giving the result a human soul, ghosts, a living pile of sludge, two unrelated subterranean civilizations, [[Frankenstein]]'s monster, [[King Kong]], humans with powerful psychic powers, a force made of humans born with supernatural strength and agility, a gun that fires black holes, a giant magic gliding lizard whose very presence creates [[Dramatic Wind]], a giant walrus(!) and all other manner of wacky shit.
* [[
* There are different types of supernatural killers in the form of [[A Nightmare
** Chris .R. Notarile even made a fan video (which uses good special effects, and masks, making the characters look and sound identical to their appearance in movies) depicting Freddy, Michael, {{spoiler|Pinhead, Jason, and Leatherface}} in the same room.
* [[
== Literature ==
* [[Garrett
* In K.A. Applegate's ''[[Everworld]]'', five high school kids enter a different dimension cobbled together by all of the world's gods and goddesses (and thus all their respective mythologies; there's also the whole thing about "aliens," creatures from other dimensions and ''their'' own gods who have ''also'' wound up in Everworld); however characters associated with these different mythologies frequently interact. Two notable examples from the series come to mind: a plot arc from the first book has the kids find themselves amongst Vikings preparing to attack the Aztecs; the other is a scene from the ninth in which dwarves have dammed up Everworld's version of the Nile (oh, and {{spoiler|Everworld-Egypt has been conquered by Amazons}}). Add to this the fact that the gods are very present (one can climb Mt. Olympus and meet them, for example), and things can get very complicated.
* [[Jim Butcher]]'s ''[[The Dresden Files]]'' has wizards, faeries, at least four kinds of vampires, ghosts, demons, ghouls, five types of werewolves, [[Eldritch Abominations|Lovecraftian Old Ones]], numerous Christian/Biblical references.... Mostly in the stories, they stick to European mythology, although other creatures from other myths have been mentioned to exist. However, the different races do interact in alliances and power struggles (in the books, at least), and it's ''only'' fantasy; no robots or aliens.
* ''[[
* [[Simon R. Green]]'s ''Deathstalker'' series is a Science Fiction Kitchen Sink. Clones, telepaths, aliens, rogue artificial intelligences, [[Our Vampires Are Different|"Wampyr"]], Wolflings, cyborgs, a [[Deadly Decadent Court]] with intrigue to match, bounty hunters, smugglers, ancient technology, professional rebels, genetic engineering, super drugs, [[Bread and Circuses]], and a [[Romeo and Juliet]] couple all appear ''in the first half of the first book''.
** You forgot ESP, [[Eldritch Abominations]], alternate universes, a deadly cyberspace [[William Gibson]] would shake his head at, nanotechnology, laser guns, personal force fields, the chick way too in love with violence, time travel, [[A God Am I]], and super-powered government agents. Though a few of those don't show up in the first book.
** Two of Green's other series (''[[Nightside]]'' and ''[[Secret Histories]]'') also use this trope, and blend all of the above scifi elements together with an even ''greater'' diversity of fantasy elements. Plus the occasional superhero, toon, or childhood imaginary friend.
Line 92 ⟶ 84:
* [[Tom Holt]] lives on this trope. The same character, Lin Kortright, appears in both a book devoted to a [[Darker and Edgier]] Valhalla and one dedicated to a [[Black and Gray Morality|revisionist]] St. George and the Dragon. And the J.W.Wells&Co novels are even more extreme, throwing in mermaids, living swords, goblins, dragons, the Fey, the Bank of the Dead, {{spoiler|a lich}}, giants, a Lieutenant Colonel in the Riders of Rohan, {{spoiler|God}}, and a {{spoiler|living stapler}}.
* [[Mercedes Lackey]] is in love with this trope. All of her [[Urban Fantasy]], [[Historical Fantasy]], and her recent ''500 Kingdoms'' series are one big melting pot for everything from Japanese to Russian myths. Kitsune will exist next to katschei, and sidhe will exist with vampires.
* At the time [[
* ''[[Harry Potter]]'' features witches, wizards, warlocks, hags, ghosts, banshees, broomsticks, giant spiders, magic carpets, werewolves, vampires, various mythical creatures, giants and fairies; [[
** They even have their own non-existent creatures such as the Crumple-Horned Snorkack; Hermione scoffs at the notion that the Snorkack should exist ... [[Arbitrary Skepticism|even though she didn't know that witches, wizards, ghosts or monsters existed until she was 11 years old, and should thus perhaps be more open-minded?]]
* Carrie Vaughn's ''[[Kitty Norville]]''. What starts off with just werewolves and vampires has to date come to include [[The Fair Folk]], psychics, skinwalkers, real magicians, demons, chaos cults, ghosts, and more. Combine this with the fact [[All Myths Are True]] weaves the supernatural into well-known tales of literature and religion, as well as there being an [[Ancient Conspiracy]] behind everything, and you're all set.
* ''[[Discworld]]'': Among other things it has wizards, witches, dwarves, trolls (sentient beings made of rock), golems, [[The Fair Folk|elves]], gnomes, phoenixes, vampires, werewolves, zombies, [[The Igor|Igors]], time traveling monks, dragons, [[Magitek|a magical computer]], [[Death]], an orangutan librarian, [[Eldritch Abomination
** Given the Discworld Laws of Narrative Causality, and that belief in a thing makes it real, it's not at all surprising that all of this exists at once.
** Latterly we've got Orcs, Goblins, Football and a few others.
Line 102 ⟶ 94:
* The ''[[Book of Amber|Amber Chronicles]]'' by [[Roger Zelazny]] spans a multiverse in which everything can be found. The first five books focus mostly on fantasy (but include machine guns), whereas the second five contain, among others, a sentient magical supercomputer.
* Elizabeth Bear's ''New Amsterdam'' mixes Alternate History (the American colonies still belong to Britain in the early 20th century), [[Steampunk]] (Zeppelins) and [[Weird Science]] (Nicola Tesla's broadcast energy and death ray) with [[Functional Magic]], vampires, werecreatures and ghosts.
* In [[Garth Nix]]'s ''[[Keys to
* Eric Flint's ''Pyramid'' series has a pocket dimension which combines the Greek and Egyptian mythos which is the product of the title piece of technology which is the product of a race of what are either [[Sufficiently Advanced Aliens]] and/or [[Cosmic Horror
* ''[[Soon I Will Be Invincible]]'', a send-up of classic superhero comics. The world's premiere superteam consists of [[Captain Ersatz
** In a similar vein, Bill Willingham's short story ''A to Z in the Ultimate Big Company Superhero Universe'' is an extremely tongue-in-cheek look at how all these myriad, conflicting explanations and origins for the characters make such a setting innately a bit of a chaotic mess. With a few wry twists {{spoiler|such as real world physics coming into effect when the setting's super-speedster encounters a bullet.}}
* The ''[[Dirk Gently]]'' series by [[Douglas Adams]] is characterized by the phrase "everything that mankind had chosen to believe was true": Within the two books there are alien and human ghosts, exploding starships, time travellers, artificial people and horses, inadvertently psychic persons, the Norse gods, and Faustian demons.
Line 110 ⟶ 102:
* [[The Verse|The universe most of]] [[Christopher Moore]]'s stories take place in includes demons, djinns, [[The Trickster|Coyote]], his big brother [[Egyptian Mythology|Anubis]], [[Our Vampires Are Different|vampires (including vampire rats and cats)]], a cargo cult, a [[Talking Animal|talking fruit bat]], a [[Sea Monster]], Jesus, underwater [[Humanoid Aliens]] riding [[Organic Technology|artificial whales]], [[Our Angels Are Different|a not-too-bright angel]], a localized [[Zombie Apocalypse]], [[The Grim Reaper]] (several actually) and Celtic death goddesses.
* [[Jakub Wedrowycz]] has faced or fought genies, demons, vampires (including [[Dracula]] himself), sorcerers, ghosts, imps, dragons, gnomes, evil trees, aliens, merfolk, the [[Grim Reaper]], cavemen, and an undead Vladimir Lenin. And that's still not all.
* Where to begin with the [[Shannara]] world? [[Our Elves Are Better|Elves]], Dwarves, Trolls, and Gnomes are just the main species and are considered quite normal, then you toss in remnants of a post-apocalyptic future Earth like an [[
* [[Older Than Feudalism]], in ''[[
** Does that really count? All of those things are from [[Classical Mythology]].
* ''[[The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica]]''. The entire setting, namely the Archipelago of Dreams, is one of these. Where else could there be Pandora's Box, Centaurs, Elves and Fauns, and Peter Pan just to name a few of many, many things? It's an amalgamation of every single fantasy work EVER.
* Arguably, one of the main plot points of Michael Scott's book series, ''[[The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel]]''. Every mythological creature/deity ever is real - [[Masquerade|they're just hiding]], usually in their own [[Pocket Dimension
** On top of that, it's a History Kitchen Sink. Every character besides Josh and Sophie who ''isn't'' a mythical figure is a historical one. Including [[Joan of Arc]], [[Shakespeare in Fiction|William Shakespeare]], and [[Niccolo Machiavelli]].
* [[
** Although the unicorn, at least, was a mistranslation due to nobody remembering what an aurochs (''re'em'') was.

* ''[[Monster Hunter International]]'': Every monster myth known is true. Most can be killed with sufficient application of [[More Dakka|dakka]], [[Stuff Blowing Up|explosives]], [[Kill It
* The world of ''[[The Clown Service]]'' contains, among other things, zombies, leprechauns, traditional Jewish golems powered by the true name of God, yetis, time travel, [[Dark World|alternate dimensions]] filled with eldritch abominations, pixies, Chinese dragon gods, and something called [[The Bible|the Legion]] that takes over people's bodies.
* ''[[A Certain Magical Index]]'' has magicians (who can create or summon artifacts and beings from every single mythology), angels, demons, dwarves, Saints, Valkyries, an artificial elf, zombies, vampires (though they haven't actually made an appearance), gods and dragons.
== Live Action TV ==
* ''[[Big Wolf
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', where in addition to the magical baddies, she had to deal with science fictional intelligent androids.
** Several exceptions ran through Buffy on the 'not interacting with each other.' Most notably a werewolf hunter was eaten by a vampire, a demon-god was attacked by an android, and the military organization were combining cybernetics with demon body parts (although they still did not believe in magic, which was irksome. This lessened slightly once they saw the Slayer was real, but did not impact them or their research, and they continued to act as if she were the only case.)
** Killer snot monster from outer space.
** [[Running Gag|Everyone knows]] [[Arbitrary Skepticism|leprechauns don't exist]].
*** [[The Simpsons (animation)|That's a bunch of baloney. Everyone knows that leprechauns are extinct!]]
** According to Anya Santa Claus is real, and it's the same person from when the legends first started. The Problem? Santa is really a red and white furred demon that eats children.
** In an episode of Angel, it's revealed that at one point the Devil built a robot named ''El Diablo Robotico'', which was defeated by [[Masked Luchador|Los Hermanos Numeros]].
* ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' might not be categorized under fantasy, but there are many of the same themes in it. Though usually explained with science, a fair amount of ancient myths and conspiracy theories are brought to life in these shows, including what appear to be Roswell aliens, parasites posing as Egyptian gods, and the lost city of Atlantis. In the spin off, ''[[Stargate Atlantis]],'' they have actual space vampires that don't drink blood, they suck life. Through their hands. Plus all the Arthurian references later in the series, when the main characters actually meet Merlin and Morgan le Fay (though they are explained as being Ancients) and have to do numerous quests involving pulling a sword from a stone and searching for the Holy Grail (in space).
* ''[[The Munsters]]'' is a comedic version of this, with the Frankenstein monster, vampires, and a werewolf all in the same family.
* ''[[Power Rangers]]'' is ''built'' on this trope. From the first episode, we have an interdimensional wizard with a [[Buck Rogers]]-esque robot assistant who [[Recruit Teenagers
** Its base series, ''[[Super Sentai]]'', didn't count as this for some time because each season took place in a different universe. Then along came ''[[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger]]'', in which all sentai ''are'' in the same verse, and the sentai teams must teach a [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits|Ragtag Bunch of]] [[Space Pirate
* ''[[
* ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' has ghosts, demons, angels, zombies, vampires, wendigo, possessed trucks, a Frankenstein-style [[Mad Scientist]] who is effectively immortal through the theft of new organs, etc. So far no aliens, though. This was also [[Lampshaded]] a bit when one of the brothers said that everyone knew there was no such thing as Bigfoot.
** Bobby Singer can usually find info on new monsters, after the writers let up on the use of John Winchester's diary. At some point, Team Winchester realized they were dealing with a monster that was entirely unprecedented.
** The monsters all fit an urban myth feeling, until they started incorporating all kinds of mythology, no matter how much of a square peg, round hole it was.
Line 143 ⟶ 136:
** The inspiration for ''X-Files'', ''[[Kolchak the Night Stalker]]'', incorporated both standard-issue horror monsters (vampires, werewolves, headless bikers) and mythological entities (rakshasa, a Greek immortal), sci-fi critters sprung from laboratories or the depths of the earth, or psychic phenomena (e.g. a dream-monster that manifests in the real world).
** Have to laugh at an episode where the Smoking Man resolutely says [[Flat Earth Atheist|"There is no God! What we call God is alien!"]]. God himself may not have appeared on the show, but as there's an abundance of supernatural stuff going on regardless (demons, genies, and Lord knows what else) there is a pretty good chance that he is jumping to conclusions.
* ''[[Poltergeist:
* Possibly the Ur-example of this trope in television, ''[[Dark Shadows (TV series)|Dark Shadows]]'' started out as a mundane soap opera, but became a Fantasy Kitchen Sink with vampires, ghosts, witchcraft, mad scientists, time travel, alternate realities, and many, many cases of reincarnation.

* Parodied in an episode of ''[[The Colbert Report]]'' where Stephen Colbert mentions that someone used a non-existent district in a state to gain votes. He then says this non-existent district has things like Sleestaks, unicorns, leprechauns, [[Sesame Street|Mr. Snuffulapagus]], the chupacabra, [[The Ghost|Vera from Cheers, Charlie Brown's teacher]] and the protagonist of ''[[Fight Club]]''.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFRDKf47QdU&feature=related This] episode of ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?]]'' opens with a game of ''Daytime Talkshow'', which normally spoofs one fairy tale or nursery rhyme each time, but slowly mutates into this trope. Apparently [[Off the Rails|the hill that Jack and Jill fetched a pail of water from is not only the same site that Hey Diddle Diddle took place in, but belongs to a landowner that also possesses Humpty Dumpty's wall, and Peter Peter Pumpkineater's in the audience...]]
* ''[[Round the Twist]]'' has anything and everything from ghosts to mermen to cloning machines to magic gum-leaves. Became the [[Trope Codifier]] for many episodic children's shows about weird stuff happening to a small group of [[Unfazed Everyman|ordinary schoolkids]].
* The long-running British series ''Doctor Who'' has taken nearly every fantasy being and concept and worked it into a story line over the past 50 years, always explaining them in the context of a science fiction story. Yeti, for example, are cyborgs of alien origin. Satan is a large alien being trapped eons ago by the power of a black hole.
* ''Kolchak: The Night Stalker,'' a 1974 television series, featured Darren [[Mc Gaven]] in the starring role of investigative newspaper reporter Carl Kolchak, who each week stumbled across a different supernatural story in the city of Chicago. All of the standard monsters were brought out: witches, vampires, werewolves, mummies, and many others. In each episode, Kolchak would cover a mysterious news event, such as a murder or bizarre accidental death, discover the underlying supernatural cause, try to convince his editor and the police to no effect, and eventually defeat the monster without anyone's help, knowledge, or thanks.

* While ''[[Once Upon a Time (TV series)|Once Upon a Time]]'' starts with the premise that [[All Myths Are True|all fairy tales characters are real and living in a small town in Maine]] it has since come to include [[Classical Mythology|King Midas, a siren]], [[Arabian Nights|a genie]] and a trip to [[Alice in Wonderland|Wonderland]]. Hints have bee dropped that [[The Wizard of Oz|Oz]] is out there as well and while the Fairy Tale World is classic fantasy, Storybrooke has a more [[Magical Realism]] vibe. Also, although they aren't named there was a cameo by characters who were dead ringers for [[One Flew Over the

* D&D's archrival, ''[[Pathfinder]]'', is this even moreso, as it includes both standard fantasy creatures like goblins, golems and dragons, some direct D&D imports released in the OGL like the Aboleths, Stirges and Otyugh, and delightfully obscure beasties such as the [https://web.archive.org/web/20141026145521/http://kameeko.deviantart.com/art/Akhlut-90185201 akhlut], the [[Wendigo]], the [http://verdego.deviantart.com/art/Nuckelavee-110263255 Nuckelavee] and even cryptids like the [[Mothman]] and the [[Chupacabra]]. Also, public domain beasties such as the [[Eldritch Abomination|Cosmic Horrors]] of the [[Cthulhu Mythos]] and the [[Lewis Carroll|Jabberwock]] are included, and even oft-ridiculed monsters from D&D such as the [http://www.bogleech.com/dnd/flumph.html Flumph] are brought in thanks to Wizards of the Coast not considering them brand identity like they do with Beholders and Mindflayers!
* ''[[Exalted]]'' is one big Fantasy Kitchen Sink which includes [[Magitek]], [[My Kung Fu Is Stronger Than Yours|kung fu]], [[Adventurer Archaeologist|adventurer archaeologists]], [[Celestial Bureaucracy|scheming bureaucratic gods]], [[Goth|goth princesses]], heroin-pissing dinosaurs, [[BFS]]'s, [[Manga|manga aesthetics]], [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|mythological/biblical inspirations]], and [[Petting Zoo People|anthropomorphic animals]], plus [[Heroic Fantasy|the usual vanilla blend of fantasy elements]].

▲** In fact ''[[Warhammer]]'' is far, far more subdued than ''[[Warhammer 40000]]''. While it maintains the [[Crapsack World]] element, the more ridiculous elements of 40K background are omitted. It nevertheless evokes this trope pretty hard, with vampires, daemons and the undead butting heads with dwarfs, elves and Lizard people.

* ''[[Mutants and Masterminds]]'' is designed to allow for this. The flexible point buy system and the distinction between "effect" (mechanics) and descriptors (flavor text with some extra meaning attached) allows characters to be built based on any comic book/fantasy/myth/sci-fi concept they can imagine in order to accommodate the Fantasy Kitchen Sink aspects of the two major comic book companies.

* ''[[The Sims|The Sims 2]]'', quite notoriously for a simulation game (albeit one that doesn't take itself very seriously), does feature this trope!

* ''[[Nethack]]'' is probably the biggest offender, because the monsters and items are all pieced together from bunches and bunches of completely unrelated books.

** This is only but the tip of the iceberg. Loki returns to screw over Beldr ''[[Norse Mythology|again]]''. [[The Fair Folk]] are around still lead by Oberon and Titania. Satan is a massive [[Eldritch Abomination]] who has the role of the Accuser and is essentially YHVH's [[The Lancer|Lancer]]/[[The Dragon|Dragon]]. [[Gag Penis|Mara]] pops up occasionally to stir some chaos. The Four Archangels are genuinely broken up as to what to do with YHVH's [[Good Is Not Nice]] / [[Complete Monster]] tendencies. Izanagi and Izanami are showing their interest in Humanity. The [[Horsemen of the Apocalypse]], plus the Harlot of Babylon and the Trumpeter of the End raise some hell with their partying.

* Done in the early ''[[Ultima]]'' games, using any fantasy creature from D&D Richard Garriott could think of plus space ships and laser guns. Averted in sequels ''Ultima IV-VI'' as the number of monsters are narrowed down, and there are no elves, halflings, or orcs in sight, making the setting richer by showing less is more. Redone in ''[[Ultima Online]]'', with elves, orcs, ninja, samurai, paladins, necromancers, cyborgs, and anything else the developers can think of, making the setting more generic (and sorely disappointing Lord British).
* The ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' universe has at least four sets of Deities, all of which are real and influence their own little niche in the world. Due to the open nature of the game, players interact with and influence all four of these divine beings.
** The [[Eldritch Abomination|Old Gods]] are a Lovecraftian group who either created the world, or are older than creation, depending on who you ask. Player mainly interacts by [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|punching.]]
** There are the [[Physical God|Titans]] who are largely credited with creating creation and subduing the Old Gods. Titans themselves only appeared in lore, players in game only deal with the servants - of which there are two sets: Dragon Aspects (dragons empowered by the Titans; they control various aspects of the world - such as Life, Time, the Emerald Dream, Earth and Magic) and [[Norse Mythology]] themed Guardians of Ulduar. They either employ players' help in dealing with the above or have gone crazy and must be fought.
** The "Light", which is the closest thing to a Christian God in the universe. Naturally, Paladins and Priests get their power from this source. The world also has a race of beings called the Naaru who are more or less manifestations of the Light.
Line 216:
*** The Light is more like a non-theistic philosophy. However, there is also Elune, the monotheistic goddess of the night-elves, and numerous demigods and Ancients.

* ''[[Fall From Heaven]]'', a [[Game Mod]] for ''[[Civilization IV]]'', has every fantasy trope from orcs to dwarves to elves, with nations of wizards, vampires, ghosts, and pirates, a religion based on the worship of [[Eldritch Abomination
** Another mod, ''Fictionalization IV'', has a similar mishmash of things from various fantasy tropes as well as superheroes, mecha, and other tropes from sci-fi.
* The ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' series has [[Funny Animal
* ''[[City of Heroes]]'', obviously based on comic books, revels in this. During the course of a career, the average hero (or villain) will face mutants, aliens, alternate dimensional aliens, alternate dimensional mutant aliens, alternate dimensional versions of heroes, alternate dimensional versions of villains, demons, cosmic horrors, mobsters, evil corporations, government conspiracies, ancient conspiracies, evil mastermind conspiracies, ghosts, spirits of nature, robots, robots animated by psychic power, Nazis, vampires, werewolves, purse-snatchers, gods, alien gods, time travel, travel to other dimensions, mercenaries, government agents, free-lance vigilantes...while coming from a background that has just as weird a mix.

Magical creatures, mythological beings, wizards, and other fantastic entities fled into a parallel dimension (called the Withdrawal in the player's guide) to escape encroaching modernity that threatened their existence.
* ''[[Pokémon]]''. It has psychics (too many to count), phoenixes (Moltres (Western) and Ho-Oh (Eastern)), a dryad (Celebi), an Arkan Sonney (Lucky Piggy - it is a white hedgehog that flees people and gives them luck if caught; Shaymin is one), and that doesn't even scratch it. The best is that it has Mew (ancestor of all Pokémon, and as such represents Darwinian evolution) and Arceus (the CREATOR Pokémon, which came before all others), which contradict each other at first glance.

And who do you fight against with these guys? The military, vampires, ninjas, zombies, either crusaders or pirates and finally, demons...
