Improbable fauna, impossible flora,
This setting is a bizarre mixture of elements from our world thrown into a blender, with a few squirts of lemon and a pinch of LSD. Everything comes together in outlandish and unpredictable combinations. Bright colors, strange creatures, and total disregard for logic are all in play. Anything can and will happen.
Line 15:
[[Alien Geometries]] may be commonplace. Not to be confused with [[Planet Eris]], which is a more mundane world with some fantastic elements. Worlds inhabited by [[Starfish Aliens]] may not qualify, as they may have a little more internal consistency even if they're beyond our comprehension, plus [[Uncanny Valley|the inclusion of recognizable elements is what gives this setting much of its edge]].
There's a good possibility you'll find yourself [[Did We Just Have Tea with Cthulhu?|having tea with Cthulhu]]

Line 52:
* Ironically, the Courts of Chaos in the ''[[Chronicles of Amber]]'' are NOT this. Sure, maybe the sun and moon circle each other in the sky, casting night and day on opposite sides of a band of twilight, but that doesn't mean it's not consistent.
* ''More Minds'' demonstrates what happens when absolutely everyone gains the power of [[Reality Warping]]. It's almost impossible to die, and you'll always have everything you want and need. This is ''not'' a good thing.
* A rare ''positive'' example of this can be found in the first installment of Ted Dekker's ''Circle'' series. Before humankind [[And Man Grew Proud|becomes corrupted by sin and Falls from Grace]], God does this sort of thing ''frequently''

* As you might expect, the lower levels of Wonderland in ''[[JAGS Wonderland]]''.
* Limbo in ''[[Planescape]]'' is another literal chaos world, a roiling mixture of all the elements that forms a vast primordial soup out of which emerge the strangest damn things. Order can be imposed temporarily by the willpower and imagination of sentient
* And while on the subject of ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'', the Far Realm, as expected of a [[H.P. Lovecraft|Lovecraft]]-inspired plane, definitely qualifies.
* The Wyld of ''[[Exalted]]''.
Line 113:
* Possibly, the ''[[Grow]]'' series of flash games.
* The forum adventure ''[[Problem Sleuth]]'' is set mostly in one, only accessible through the forts the main characters make from their desks.
* Parodies on the ''[[Nightmare City]]'' flash movies made by a guy called Nch from ''a certain [[Image Board]]'' transform the setting from a furry sci-fi one into a
