Line 13:
* The manga ''[[Gamaran]]'' is set in the Unabara District, which was also nicknamed "The Lair of the Fiends" because of all the insanely powerful martial artists and warriors hanging around the place. Examples include the [[Slasher Smile|infamous]] [[Badass Nickname|"Slayer of a Thousand Men"]] [[Blood Knight|Jinsuke Kurogane]].
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'': The White Moon beneath Antarctica is where Adam (and presumably the other angels) originated.
* ''[[Rah XephonRahXephon]]'': Tokyo Jupiter where the Mulians and their dollems make themselves at home.
* ''[[Aquarion]]'': Atlandea, the home of the Shadow Angels and their cherubim and harvest beast creations.
* ''[[Devilman]]'': In the television series the demons originate from the Kingdom of Ice buried far below the surface of the Himalayas.
Line 29:
* The Never Never in ''[[The Dresden Files]]'' is supposed to be this.
* ''[[Starship Troopers]]'': Klendathu, home of the arachnid race.
* Can anyone say "The Nightside" from ''[[Nightside|Tales Of The Nightside]]'' by [[Simon R. Green]]? Not exactly where the monsters come from, but all monsters eventually end up there.
* The deep valleys of the Hork-Bajir homeworld in ''[[Animorphs (Literature)|Animorphs]]''. The Hork-Bajir actually called them monsters, although they were created by the Arn in reality.
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* In Season Six of ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'', this is exactly what Purgatory is described to be.
* ''[[Ultraman Ace]]'': The Chouju of the series originate from Yapool's dimension.
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' and its many otherworldly demon worlds probably qualify.
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
Line 42:
** In ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'', the Moon is the source of monsters. They live on it and sometimes are transported to Earth by a magical event called the Lunar Cry.
** In ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'', this is what the vast majority of Cocoon's human population believes that Gran Pulse is, though none of them have ever actually been there to know firsthand. When your party eventually gets sent there, you find out that it actually is, but not to the greatly exaggerated extent that the Cocoon government has misled everybody into believing, where the average Cocoon citizen is deathly afraid of anything that is even remotely connected to Gran Pulse.
* In ''[[Dragon Quest VIII (Video Game)|Dragon Quest VIII]]'' the monsters are basically everywhere. However, there's a particular village name Trian Gully where monsters resides along with elves and humans, making it something of a subversion.
* ''[[Bio ShockBioshock]]'': This is what [[Crap Saccharine World|Rapture]] has ultimately become. Sophia Lamb even names it as such.
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Monstropolis, the main setting of ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]''
* ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' has Monster Island (by mention only), where all the [[Kaiju]] come from.
* ''[[My Life Asas a Teenage Robot]]'' spoofs this trope. Jenny has to fly to Japan, and as she passes overhead, two of the monsters she fought in earlier cartoons wave hello to her.
* ''[[The Simpsons]]'': In a [[Flash Forward]] [[Imagine Spot]], Lisa is sentenced to Monster Island for having not told people she failed gym in second grade when she was running for President. "Don't worry, it's just a name." [[Gilligan Cut]] to Lisa and a few other humans being chased by giant monsters.
