What happens when AllMythsAreTrue goes to the logical extreme? You get a FantasyKitchenSink! Everything is true, but comes from vastly different origins. So not only are there really [[TheFairFolk fairies]], there are [[OurGhostsAreDifferent ghosts]], [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampires]], [[WolfMan werewolves]], [[{{Mummy}} mummies]], [[StockNessMonster sea monsters]], [[SuperStrength superhuman]] {{mutants}}, [[OurAngelsAreDifferent angels]], [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demons]], [[AlienTropes aliens]], {{Eldritch Abomination}}s, [[SandWorm giant worms]], [[FunctionalMagic magic]], [[PsychicPowers psi]], [[KiAttacks chi]], and so on. Generally a sure sign of it is when creatures from typically different genres (aliens, vampires, fairies) all exist within the same world with [[CrossoverCosmology individual origins of their own]], each implausible in their own way -- leading up to a long series of [[WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief suspensions of disbelief]] rather than just one.

In general when you have a FantasyKitchenSink, the premise is only used for MonsterOfTheWeek plots -- where there's one MythArc that focuses on a fantastic element and a bunch of totally unrelated sub-arcs about various lesser creatures or beings. There's no overlap between the different genre creatures. The alien bounty hunters do not run into the vampires, the angels, or the superhuman (non-alien involvement) mutants; only the main characters. It's as if there are a bunch of disconnected secret [[MirrorUniverse worlds]] lurking [[DarkWorld under]] and [[SpiritWorld above]] the surface of the real world and the heroes are [[BrokenMasquerade the only ones who go between them]]. Occasionally, they do interact in the form of a MonsterMash. The AncientConspiracy really are behind everything... but so are TheFairFolk, the [[BodySnatcher Body Snatchers]], and the [[{{TimeTravel}} Time Travelers]] and their plans don't have ''any'' connection with each other. For example, the WitchSpecies never accidentally [[LaserGuidedAmnesia erase the memories of the supernatural]] of, say, someone who's secretly a {{Ninja}} or vice versa; no matter how indiscriminating either are at enforcing the {{Masquerade}}.

Compare this to, for instance, the various ''StarTrek'' series, ''{{Stargate SG-1}}'' or ''[[BabylonFive Babylon 5]]'', where the "magical" aspects are AppliedPhlebotinum or the SufficientlyAdvancedAlien. They [[MagicFromTechnology aren't "real" magic.]] There are PsychicPowers, but they are given a [[HollywoodScience pseudoscientific]] {{Technobabble}} explanation.

The opposite of MetaOrigin, 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 SeenItAll.

Compare CrossoverCosmology, PlanetEris. IfJesusThenAliens is the logic used creating this world. Of course, tends to result in PalsWithJesus after a while.

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* In ''MahouSenseiNegima'', Negi Springfield slowly discovers that his class of 31 "[[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent ordinary]]" middle-school girls includes a robot, a ghost, a vampire/wizardess, a Sorceress-in-training or three, a {{Ninja}}, a martial arts master, a [[SchoolgirlLesbians lesbian]] [[HeroicAlbino albino]] [[HalfHumanHybrids half-Tengu]] samurai, ''two'' {{Mad Scientist}}s (one of whom is a {{Time Travel}}er from another planet), a [[ButNotTooForeign half-Puertorican]] [[TheGunslinger marksman]] for hire/{{Miko}}, a Nun/Wizardess, a potential healer Oujo-sama and Zazie Rainyday (whatever she is) -- plus the secrets Asuna's forgotten history holds ([[spoiler: specifically, magical princess in exile]]). Just to add some spice, at least two of the girls have connections to his long-missing father, and unknown to him another is a relative! Not to mention Negi himself, a [[TeenGenius pre-teen prodigy]] wizard, who [[IKnowKungFu knows kung fu]] (and [[spoiler: is a prince]]), who's in the process of essentially training himself up to be an Epic Hero. That's not even counting the other characters in this series like a famous gladiator, and a dog hanyou.
** Plus whatever the deal with Ako (scar), Akira (super abilities), and Sakurako (unnatural luck).
*** Don't forget the existence of TheWorldTree, TheLibraryOfBabel, WizardingSchool(s), and an engineering club that builds HumongousMecha for the SchoolFestival.
*** If anything, the ENTIRE Magic World is like this!
***When you think about it, the insanely odd class being Negi's final Magic test [[FridgeBrilliance makes a lot more sense now.]]
* In a possible subversion, the title character of ''SuzumiyaHaruhi'' 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]].
** And ''somewhat'' also the current world.
* Honorable Mention: In ''{{Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni}}'' [[spoiler: a ghost using TimeTravel is trying to stop a MadScientist who [[AGodAmI wants to be a god]] and her EvilArmy from activating ThroughTheEyesOfMadness to justify killing off a village while the local {{Yakuza}} and people's belief in local mythology unwittingly takes the credit.]] ''Because'' this is a combination of various elements each with their own {{Masquerade}}; the {{Muggles}} have absolutely no idea what's going on for most of the plot; and most of their theories are wrong.
* ''MagicalPokaan'' is a FantasyKitchenSink from the get-go - a werewolf, a vampire, an android and a witch (all of them {{Cute Monster Girl}}s, of course) living together in one house. The show then goes on to throw in tanuki, aliens, snow people, and anything else [[GagSeries for the sake of comedy]].
* ''HayateTheCombatButler'' has ;et's see...super-human butlers, Robots, {{Talking Animal}}s, TimeTravel, {{Miko}}, [[{{Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot}} Vampire Mikos]], ghosts, demons, demonic snakes, aliens, and [[GreekMythology whatever the heck Athena is.]]
* ''Rosario+Vampire'' has main character Tsukune attending a school with, amongst others, vampires, witches, succubi, and emo ice-women--all of whom seem to want him.
* Judging by the shared characters, ''Kon Kon Kokon'', ''KamichamaKarin'', and ''Doki-doki Tama-tan'' all take place in the same universe/timeline. Which is odd, because ''Kokon'' has {{obake}}, ''Kamikarin'' has magical [[GreekMythology Greek God]] rings and [[spoiler:human cloning]], and ''Tama-tan'' is something to do with alien {{Moon Rabbit}}s and magical princess school.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Card Games]]
* ''MagicTheGathering''. With some [[OverNineThousand 10,000]] different cards, it's hard to think of any fantasy concepts that aren't represented.
* The ''Yugioh!'' 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.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: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''.
* [[MarvelUniverse Marvel]] is undoubtedly a FantasyKitchenSink, and is quite happy to have Iron Man beat up on Loki if it feels [[RuleOfCool it'll make a good story]]. ConanTheBarbarian, {{Transformers}}, and {{Zoids}} all used to be part of the MarvelUniverse and elements from those series are still floating around occasionally bumping into TheHulk, GhostRider or TheFantasticFour. Marvel's very first character was Namor, the NewYork-hating king of {{Atlantis}}, and his nemesis was a fire shooting android. While characters from completely different genres usually don't mix, and usually lighter series don't cross with the grimmer ones, nothing is ever off limits.
** {{DC}}, of course, is not much different. It has Greek and Roman gods, wizards, Faeries, aliens, Dinosaur Island, [[TheWarlord sword & sorcery tales]], DocSavage, the guy from ''Gladiator'' (the [[{{Gladiator}} superhuman novel]], not the [[{{Film/Gladiator}} anachronistic movie]]), TheShadow, ten different versions of {{Atlantis}}, mind-controlling worms, prehuman civilizations, sentient robots, AncientAstronauts, Ambush Bug, Flex Mentallo, metafiction, the GreenLanternCorps, normal guys with arrows and boomerangs who can defeat {{Superman}} and TheFlash, and on and on and on.
* The WhateleyUniverse. Mutants, FunctionalMagic, super-science, demons, CosmicHorror backstory, and some of the more experienced characters have mentioned aliens too.
* ''TheSandman'' universe, from the Sandman comics by NeilGaiman. But it works, simply by the RuleOfCool. It helps that it's split off from (and may be part of, depending on how convenient it is for a given storyline) TheDCU.
* The comic ''Series/GoldDigger'' is a great example of this trope, with a few flavors of aliens, werecreatures, dragons, leprechauns, elves, trolls, genetically engineered races, races decended from advanced robots, a time travelling superintelligent dog, and a dozen other things. Quite often their origins are related but it never nears the level of a MetaOrigin.
* ''{{Fables}}'' draws upon this, however averts it with the different fables being able to interact with each other.
* Mike Mignola's {{Hellboy}} comics stitch together Nazis, mad scientists, mythical monsters and folklore from all over the world (not to mention he used to be part of the Legend-verse, which included Frank Miller's Big Guy and Rusty The Boy Robot, Art Adams' Monkeyman And O'Brien, John Byrne's Next Men, and Mike Allred's Madman.)
* 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.
* No matter what the incarnation, ''TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' lives and breathes this trope. During its formative period, the original Mirage Comic had already established a universe with ninjas, aliens, mutants, time travel, demons, and super-heroes. While they were initially kept somewhat separate, they began interacting following a BrokenMasquerade moment in the fourth volume of the comic book. The current cartoon is no different: the fifth season finale, for example involved superheroes, government agents and ninjas fighting against ancient Japanese demons and their zombie army.
* ''TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'' graphic novels incorporate absolutely ''anything'' Alan Moore can cram into a panel and not get sued over.
* ''AstroCity'', unsurprisingly for a superhero reconstruction, has time travellers, vampires, ghosts, robots, living cartoon characters, reptilian monsters, aliens, storm elementals and ''gorillas with the heads of ants''.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Film]]
* The Chronicles of Riddick is borderline, combining some fantasy elements (Elementals, the Underverse) with a sci-fi setting.
* The Matrix Reloaded sets the stage for a fantasy kitchen sink, but does not develop it.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Literature]]
* Justified and subverted 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 ''TheDresdenFiles'' has wizards, faeries, three kinds of vampires, demons, ghouls, four types of werewolves, 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).
** Yeah, but it's ''only'' fantasy (occasionally non-western) stuff. You don't have Aliens or giant robots or any of the non-fantasy jazz. More MundaneFantastic than anything else.
* ''AmericanGods'' by NeilGaiman involves gods and goddesses from several real-world mythologies fighting with various ''new'' deities born out of modern-day obsessions.
* SimonRGreen's ''Deathstalker'' series is a Science Fiction Kitchen Sink. Clones, telepaths, aliens, rogue artificial intelligences, [[OurVampiresAreDifferent "Wampyr"]], Wolflings, cyborgs, a DeadlyDecadentCourt with intrigue to match, bounty hunters, smugglers, ancient technology, professional rebels, genetic engineering, super drugs, BreadAndCircuses, and a RomeoAndJuliet couple all appear ''in the first half of the first book''.
** Two of Green's other series (''{{Nightside}}'' and ''{{Secret Histories}}'' also use this trope.
* TomHolt lives on this trope. The same character, Lin Cortright appears in both a book devoted to a DarkerAndEdgier Valhalla and one dedicated to a [[BlackAndGrayMorality 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]].
* MercedesLackey is in love with this trope. All of her UrbanFantasy, HistoricalFantasy, 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 C.S. Lewis wrote ''[[{{Narnia}} The Chronicles of Narnia]]'', mixing fantasy creatures from different mythologies was not common practice, and raised many eyebrows.
** Not to mention Jesus, Father Christmas, and regular talking animals.
* ''HarryPotter'' features witches, wizards, warlocks, hags, ghosts, banshees, broomsticks, giant spiders, magic carpets, werewolves, vampires, various mythical creatures, giants and fairies; JKRowling once insisted that the series wasn't fantasy. Right...
** They even have their own non-existent creatures such as the Crumple-Horned Snorkack; Hermione scoffs at the notion that the Snorkack should exist ... [[ArbitrarySkepticism 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?]]
*** Yes, but those things were written in ''textbooks''.
* Carrie Vaughn's ''KittyNorville''. What starts off with just werewolves and vampires has to date come to include TheFairFolk, psychics, skinwalkers, real magicians, demons, chaos cults, ghosts, and more. Combine this with the fact AllMythsAreTrue weaves the supernatural into well-known tales of literature and religion, as well as there being an AncientConspiracy behind everything, and you're all set.
* ''{{Discworld}}'': Among other things it has wizards, witches, dwarves, trolls (sentient beings made of rock), golems, [[TheFairFolk elves]], gnomes, phoenixes, vampires, werewolves, zombies, Igors, time traveling monks, dragons, [[{{Magitek}} a magical computer]], {{Death}}, an orangutan librarian, [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]], gods, bureaucratic demons, [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman Nobby Nobbs]], sentient luggage, [[ThePowerOfRock Rock Music]], heroes, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking kangaroos]].
* ''[=~Literature/The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy~=]'' fits this trope. Arthur enjoins a Norse God to a fight, suggesting they take it outside, whereupon Thor falls from the flying party. The prophet Zarquon makes an appearance at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe. Elvis Presley hangs out at a desert bar. Robots. {{Spare Body Parts}}. The Guide also speaks of Dragons (extinct), Ravenous Bugblatter Beasts of Traal, and other assorted monsters. let's not forget the Perfectly Normal Beasts? Throw in a subverted {{Adam and Eve Plot}} [[spoiler: a spaceship full of societal rejects crashes to Earth where they proceed to wipe out the emergent indigenous sapient lifeforms]], and reincarnation [[spoiler: notably into thinking bowls of petunia.]] Did I mention Arthur Dent discovers how to fly? [[spoiler: the trick, the knack really, is simply to throw yourself at the ground and miss.]]
** To be fair, in an infinite universe with access to vast time and space travel the opposite would be far stranger.
* Done by Delia Sherman in ''Changeling'' and ''The Magic Mirror of the Mermaid Queen'', set in New York Between, where Folk (supernatural creatures) from many different myth and fairy tale cycles live side by side and frequently interact. Logical, because of New York's multicultural immigrant population.
* Justified in the ''AmberChronicles'' by RogerZelazny, which span a multiverse in which literally 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 (zepellins) and WeirdScience (Nicola Tesla's broadcast energy and death ray) with FunctionalMagic, vampires, werecreatures and ghosts.
* In GarthNix's ''[[KeysToTheKingdom The Keys to the Kingdom]]'', elements of Christian Theology, Ancient Greek Myth, and European folklore are all present in the House (the 'epicentre of creation' wherein the bulk of the story takes place). The protagonist actually meets the Pied Piper, the Mariner (who is ''[[CoolOldGuy awesome]]''), and an towering old man who is suspiciously similar to [[GreekMythology Prometheus]].These are all seamlessly blended in with the mythos of the story, and often given and interesting twist.
* 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 SufficientlyAdvancedAliens and/or [[CosmicHorror Cosmic Horrors]]. [[spoiler: Adding to the mess is that at the end of the first book some of the mythological creatures wind up in our world.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Live Action TV]]
* ''{{Big Wolf on Campus}}'' was a kid/teen show on the ABC Family Channel in the early 2000s that featured a high schooler who was secretly a werewolf, who fought evil creatures along with his friends. They met just about everything you can think of: vampires, aliens, ghosts, mummies, the devil, the grim reaper, and even Santa Claus. This is due to the fact that just about every episode was based on an old classic monster movie.
* ''BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', 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.
* ''DoctorWho'' averts this; while it has witches, werewolves, a couple of variations on vampires etc., pretty much all of them are explained as actually just being different types of aliens.
* ''TheMunsters'' is a comedic version of this, with the Frankenstein monster, vampires, and a werewolf all in the same family.
* ''PowerRangers'' is ''built'' on this trope. From the first episode, we have an interdimensional wizard with a Buck Rogers-esque robot assistant who gives superpowers and dinosaur-themed HumongousMecha to teenagers with attitude so they can fight Evil Space Aliens led by an [[HumanAliens Asian-looking]] space witch. Due to its length, the show has added more and more weirdness as it goes on; one season can focus on high-tech alien police, the next, a pocket dimension inhabited by fantasy creatures.
* ''SpecialUnit2'' was basically a lighter, fluffier version of ''Supernatural''. It had everything except vampires. Because the thought that vampires exist is preposterous.
* ''{{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 recently when one of the brothers said that everyone knew there was no such thing as Bigfoot.
**Don't forget the celtic gods from the christmas special! [[spoiler:Where the hell they fit on the now established christian based cosmology beats me]]
* ''TheXFiles'' is perhaps the best example for television where because one paranormal thing is true, all (or at least many) paranormal things are true even when they come from different origins. To the point where they could have filmed an ''X-Files'' episode where the aliens do arrive for colonization only to get wailed on by the assorted other monsters of the week who get annoyed about the people coming into their turf.
** 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).
* ''{{Poltergeist the Legacy}}'' was all about this trope. Various episodes featured ghosts, demons, vampires, werewolves, mummies and genies.
* Possibly the Ur-example of this trope in television, ''Dark Shadows'' started out as a mundane soap opera, but became a FantasyKitchenSink with vampires, ghosts, witchcraft, mad scientists, time travel, alternate realities and many, many cases of reincarnation.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* The original edition of ''Dungeons & Dragons'' cites John Carter of Mars (as well as Conan, and Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser) in its Forward, despite being for "medieval wargames campaigns" according to the cover. It suggests robots and androids as examples of 'other monsters' which could be used in the game.
** Of course, the entire game could be considered a FantasyKitchenSink, seeing as how the monster manuals include just about every legendary or folklore creature in popular culture, as well as drawing from other sources ([[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs dinosaurs]], anyone?), and creating their own.
** The ''ForgottenRealms'' campaign setting with its FantasyCounterpartCulture collection is ''built'' on this concept, world encompassing traditional knights-and-wizards fantasy, Arabic legends, and a whole continent devoted to a mishmash of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean mythology, in different regions. Unfortunately, most works and all but one videogame get set in the MedievalEuropeanFantasy regions (Sword Coast, Heartlands).
*** Except that Egypt and what remained of Babylon just had a continent dropped on them... 4th. ed. seems to be hell-bent on removing a lot of the FantasyKitchenSink aspects of D&D. (a process that admittedly started with 3rd. ed.)
**** ...replacing it with another kitchen sink, only more [[StandardFantasySetting generic]]. Or, as one Russian DM and developer wrote about 3rd ed. (when it was fresh) --
----> ''{{Greyhawk}}'' looks like a world where barbarians, swashbucklers and [[WarriorMonk combat monks]] are all-in-one Snickers, Whiskas and Tampax.
** {{Ravenloft}} could be called a HorrorKitchenSink, borrowing elements from creepy folklore (ghosts, curses), creepy novels (Dracula-style vampires, mad scientists), creepy movies (Hammer-style werewolves & gypsies), creepy scifi ([[FaceFullOfAlienWingWong sea spawn]], pod people), and the creepy end of every ''other'' D&D game setting.
** ''{{Spelljammer}}'' is big enough to incorporate most of the other settings. And cosmologies -- worlds riding on huge turtles? That's almost common variety...
---> ...the writer once described his own campaign as a "cosmic vacuum cleaner, sucking up every fantasy idea that crossed its path."
** ''PlaneScape is even worse: Steampunk robots? Check. Demons, devils, angels (different types, including TalkingAnimals) steam and magi-tech, real-world pantheons strewn all over the place.... Expies of dozens of real-world afterlives, and so on and so forth.
* The BackStory and premise for the various game lines in the original [[TheWorldOfDarkness World of Darkness]] detailed how werewolves, mages, wraiths, mummies, demons, vampires and fairies all existed and controlled or influenced the world. Rarely did any game line reference important events or characters in the other, except for two specifically designed cross company events. Despite inhabiting the same world and preying on/eating/controlling the same humans, all of these creatures were very insular in their scope.
** In the name of simplification, the New World of Darkness seems to be going with the idea, "The supernaturals know about each other, but mostly only care if their goals clash", and leave the details for the Storytellers to work out.
* ''{{Exalted}}'' is one big FantasyKitchenSink which includes {{magitek}}, [[MyKungFuIsStrongerThanYours kung fu]], {{adventurer archaeologist}}s, [[CelestialBureaucracy scheming bureaucratic gods]], [[{{Goth}} goth princesses]], heroin-pissing dinosaurs, {{BFS}}'s, [[{{Manga}} manga aesthetics]], [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic mythological/biblical inspirations]], and [[PettingZooPeople anthropomorphic animals]], plus [[HeroicFantasy the usual vanilla blend of fantasy elements]]. It should be a trainwreck, yet it all works [[RuleOfCool because of how awesome it is]].
* The TabletopRPG ''{{Rifts}}'' has [[GodwinsLaw Nazi-equivalents]] in [[SchizoTech power armor]], dinosaurs in the swampified remnants of the American South, [[BeePeople insect aliens]] from another dimension, [[PsychicPowers psychics]] and FunctionalMagic, Atlantis has risen from the ocean, Mexico and the surrounding areas are overrun, and ruled, by Vampires... You get the idea. In this case it's more fantasy roach motel, as things from strange other worlds seem to rift but they don't rift out. Weirdness diffusion, maybe?
* ''{{Warhammer 40000}}'' takes the fantasy kitchen sink, flings it into the future, arms it to the teeth, changes any morals to fit a {{Black and Grey Morality}}, [[CrapsackWorld dumps crap all over it]], and ramps up the violence quotient [[UpToEleven to eleven]].
* ''{{Warhammer}}'' does pretty much the same thing, except without the "IN SPACE" factor.
** In fact {{Warhammer}} is far, far more subdued than {{Warhammer 40000}}. While it maintains the CrapsackWorld 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.
* For a TabletopRPG example, check out ''WorldOfSynnibarr''. On second thought, [[SoBadItsHorrible don't]].
* ''Deadlands'' has a vast array of supernatural creatures running around the Weird West. The AfterTheEnd spinoff ''Hell On Earth'' goes one better, with a Kitchen Sink Apocalypse, that includes nuclear devastation, zombies, and [[spoiler:the Horsemen of the Apocalypse]].
** The ''Pirates Constructable Strategy Game'' by Wizkids is a naval combat game set sometime before, during, and after the American Revolution/War of 1812 era. When the first set came out, things were fine, but with each new expansion, they seem to be intent on adding a new crazy mechanic. They get alright justifications or are HandWaved most of the time, but it is still silly. They are currently halfway between this and AnachronismStew. Some of these include:
** Sea Monsters/Titans
** Cursed pirates
** Submarines (based off JulesVerne)
** Vikings (HandWaved as being northerners who believe NorseMythology)
** Bombardiers (Ships with long-range and ''flame cannons'' attached to their decks)
*** TruthInTelevision: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_fire Greek fire]].
** Turtle ships (which at least existed around the time)
** "Switchblades" (metal ships with giant pincers attached to the sides)
** There's also a Pirates of the Caribbean expansion.
* Pretty much the point of ''TORG'', which is about various realities invading each other. So, indeed, we can have a monster from a horror reality meet up with heroes from a technocratic reality, and so forth. In a twist, stuff from one "paradigm" tends to malfunction in others, so don't expect ray guns to work in a stone age world.
*MutantsAndMasterminds 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 FantasyKitchenSink aspects of the two major comic book companies.
* BrikWars has spaceships, pirates, dragons, T-Rexes, Roman bikers, helicopters, pyramids, skyscrapers, knights, tanks... and that's just ''one'' page of the rulebook.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]
* ''[[MarvelUltimateAlliance Marvel: Ultimate Alliance]]'' lets you have a party consisting of DoctorStrange, the half-vampire {{Blade}}, IronMan, and one of the Comicbook/{{X-Men}} fight Dr. Doom, Galactus, and Loki.
* ''TheSims 2'', quite notoriously for a simulation game (albeit one that doesn't take itself very seriously), does feature this trope! Your Sims can plead with TheGrimReaper for the life of another household member, get abducted by aliens (and get a FaceFullOfAlienWingWong, [[MisterSeahorse if they're male]]), get bitten by a wolf and become a werewolf, become a vampire, come back as a zombie, get eaten by a ManEatingPlant, become a plant-like being themselves, live with Bigfoot... the list goes on.
* ''NetHack'' is probably the biggest offender, because the monsters and items are all pieced together from bunches and bunches of completely unrelated books. It can include grid bugs from ''{{Tron}}'' and goblins from ''{{Lord of the Rings}}'' on the same level, for example. (It also has actual kitchen sinks.)
** Not to mention "one-horned, one-eyed people eaters", "[[TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy microscopic space fleets]]", "battlemechs", "[[{{Discworld}} The Luggage]]", "master lichens"(!) and various other weird critters shown instead of the real monsters when hallucinating.
** The [=Slash'EM=] variant throws in even more stuff, the best example probably being ''[[StarWars lightsabers]]''.
* ''{{Castlevania}}'' uses undead, abomination, evil, and various other strange creatrues from lore from pretty much every culture and tradition these days. Heck, some of them aren't even from fiction, but from real life--dodo birds have been spotted in one game, and various games have variably-undead dinosaurs.
** Well, a lot of fantasy games draw their monsters from tons of different cultural traditions.
* The entire ''FinalFantasy'' series draws on this, with gods and goddesses from just about every culture in the world, as well as the run of the mill robots, mummies, vampires, etc.
* The ''TouhouProject'' features Gensokyo, an almost ''literal'' FantasyKitchenSink. It's heavily implied that whatever becomes fantasy (magic, [[OurMonstersAreDifferent monsters]], [[OddJobGods gods]], near-extinct animals) is dumped there.
* ''ShinMegamiTensei''. YHVH and Vishnu have a tenuous alliance. Lucifer is buddy-buddy with Surt. Lilith and her succubi keep trying to get into the hero's pants. Loki was last seen poking Taira no Masakado in the eye with a sword he stole when Athena wasn't looking. ''Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne'' stated unequivocally that ''one'' goddess wasn't real: the Christo-Roman-Wiccan goddess Aradia. Of course, it's more than she is from another world of TheMutliverse and has no physical presence because of it.
* 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 LordBritish).
* The WorldOfWarcraft 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 being.
** The [[EldritchAbomination Old Gods]] are a Lovecraftian group who either created the world, or are older than creation, depending on who you ask.
** There are the [[PhysicalGod Titans]] who are largely credited with creating creation and subduing the Old Gods.
** 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.
** Finally, the various troll tribes each have their own set of animal Gods. What's more, the Gods from different tribes interact with each other from time to time. So, although a given tribe will only worship one set of Animal Gods, their existence is not mutually exclusive. Also see AllTrollsAreDifferent.
*** 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.
*** And of course werewolves, gargoyles, zombies, hydras, centaurs...For a long time, vampires were just about the ''only'' fantastic or mythical creatures not to be found in WorldOfWarcraft. Then the second expansion came out and introduced the darkfallen - blood-drinking undead elves.
*** Vampires have been in Warcraft since the Nathrezim/Dreadlords appeared in Warcraft 3. They look less vampiric and more demonic in World of Warcraft though, especially since they're so large now.
* The {{Nasuverse}} gives us [[{{Tsukihime}} Vampires]], [[FateStayNight magic]] ChurchMilitants, demons, devils, dragons, [[AllMythsAreTrue Medusa, Medea, Hercules, Cuchulain etc.]] and all sorts of mythical beasts. Plus, reincarnation, zombies, a {{cosmic horror}} or two, more magic, japanese demons too... Most of this is merely mentioned in passing or a brief plot point, but bonus points for what is important overlapping ie. the Church deals with vampires, but they're also related to the Grail Wars (Archer also seems quite familiar with killing vampiric creatures like Zouken Matou) and [[MeltyBlood Atlas Alchemists,]] who made a weapon that can kill the previously mentioned cosmic horrors. One of whom is a vampire, or something.
* SuperRobotWars OG Saga: EndlessFrontier. The titular world, "Endless Frontier" is consist of several mini-dimensions with varies in theme. Result in world where {{Valkyries}} use LaserBlade, Elves give up bow in favor of sub-machinegun, geek ogre with magic tome, CyberPunk cowboy and werewolf {{Samurai}} are common sight [[spoiler:as well as some EldritchAbomination]].

* 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 Abominations]], with other random like werewolves and jinn thrown in for good measure.
** 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.

[[folder:Web Comics]]
* [[{{FindersKeepers}} Finder's Keepers]] puts it rather bluntly: "Every myth, every belief, every dream, every nightmare, they all are residents of this side. The Veil separates the Every-Day from the Every-Daydream. If Humanity has dreamt it up, you'll find it lurking around here somewhere."
* ''SluggyFreelance'' in the biggest way. One story arc had a [[DemonicInvaders Demonic Invader]] hurled back in time by a [[MadScientist Mad Scientist's]] ray gun. Another had a [[TalkingAnimal talking rabbit]] wage war on a mutated, alien SantaClaus, only to get hurled into another dimension where TimeStandsStill and SpacePirates reign supreme. And another had the same MadScientist, a witch, and a BadassNormal with a [[EmpathicWeapon talking sword]] break into a [[OurZombiesAreDifferent zombie]] lair to recover GovernmentConspiracy files on a {{Brainwashed}}, immortal assassin who has the potential to [[YouCantFightFate change or even destroy the Web of Fate]]. And that's not even getting into the satanic kittens.
** And don't forget the Sampire!
* By now it's less of a question of what kind of monster will show up in [[{{TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja}} The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]] as it is which ones will not. So far we have ninjas, vampires, dinosaurs, zombies, robots, popular fast food mascots...

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* Although ''BarbieAndTheDiamondCastle'' seems to take place in a standard FairyTale setting (dragons, trolls, girls who make their living selling flowers), it also throws [[TheMuse Muses]] (who live in a castle) into the mix.
* ''FamilyGuy''. The underlying reality of the show is deliberately tenuous anyway.
* [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in ''FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends''. The show takes place in a world where anything children believe in can come to life, which has obvious implications on the world's population...
* ''{{Gargoyles}}'' began with the titular characters being the lone survivors of a long-vanished race of semi-magical creatures. Over the seasons, it branched out to give us more gargoyles, fairies, witches, sorcerers, normal people cursed with immortality, living Native American spirits, Greek gods, The Loch Ness Monster, King Arthur, the list went on and on. That's not even counting the weirdness that was man-made, like the evil clones, cyborg mercenaries, nanomachines, sentient robots and the global-spanning conspiracies. (Although most of the supernatural creatures that they encountered were eventually given a MetaOrigin as Oberon's children).
** Since the gargoyles were in the modern day because their castle's wizard used his book of spells to turn them all to stone, there were hints of this from the start.
** Subverted somewhat in that different continuities ''can'' interact---for example, Xanatos wearing a robotic suit while fighting the leader of TheFairFolk. The creator was also once asked what would happen to the magical island of Avalon if aliens (yes, the show had those too!) managed to destroy the rest of the planet. (It would go too.)
* ''TheSimpsons'' uses the FantasyKitchenSink approach, with aliens, killer robots, zombies, supervillains, the Judeo-Christian God, Native American deities, and the Loch Ness Monster all apparently existing within the same universe. This is true even if you don't count the non-canonical "Halloween Specials" episodes.
** Don't forget Colonel Sanders sitting at God's right hand feeding him popcorn chicken. Oh, and the Dalai Lama can fly.
*** Well, so can Lucy Lawless, apparently.
*** And Alan Moore.
* Jokingly referenced in an episode of ''TheVentureBrothers'', where pirates board the Venture family’s ship.
-->'''Hank:''' Brock, if pirates really exist, then Santa Claus and The Tooth Fairy could even be real, right?! It’s like all bets are off!
-->'''Brock:''' Hank, nobody ever said pirates don’t exist.
-->'''Hank''': So you agree with me that this is impossible!
* Practically every children's adventure cartoon with a modern Earth setting and fantastic elements that ''does not'' use a MetaOrigin (i.e. ''DannyPhantom'' = "everything's caused by ghosts" or ''AmericanDragonJakeLong'' = "everything's caused by magical creatures") will use a FantasyKitchenSink approach, with the heroes encountering everything from aliens, robots, vampires, ninjas, and [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot alien robot vampire ninjas]]. See ''JonnyQuest'', ''KimPossible'', ''{{Ben 10}}'', etc.
** However, ''[[Ben10AlienForce Alien Force]]'', the sequel series to ''Ben 10,'' [[DoingInTheWizard establishes]] the MetaOrigin of all being aliens.
* {{Thundercats}} was made of this trope. It starts out with one feline humanoid alien race being chased by other mutant alien races after their planet's gyroscope blew up, introduced a [[TheObiWan ghost mentor]]... They all crashland on a planet called Third Earth, inhabited by android robot bears, an evil mummy that transforms into an evil flying supermummy with the help of [[EldritchAbomination ancient demonic spirits]], with an enemy of the week that is either a Nazi starship captain (Shiner), cybernetic killer pirates (Hammerhand), a sort of yeti king who rides a giant snowcat (Snowman), a timetravelling samurai (Hachiman) or an egyptian prince with a magic mindcontrol helmet who was trapped by the sphinx in an alternate dimension... And of course merchandising on steroids: the Thundertank, Cat's Lair, and various other massive metal machines. Oh, there was a female space cop as well. And hydras. And Grune the Destroyer appears to be an undead villian from the dawn of time. And volcano gods. And amazonian girl-ninjas of the treetops. And unicorns. And the Dobermen (aargh, aargh). And [[DeathByOriginStory dead parents]], telepathy and [[AnAesop addiction]]. This troper thinks the entire thing was written on crack.

* A mainstay of ''WeeklyWorldNews'' - aliens advise the president, Congress is full of zombies (sure that's not made up?), Dick Cheney is a robot, Satan was captured by American soldiers in Iraq, mermen have been found in the South Pacific and Bigfoot is advertising his crash diet.

[[folder:Real Life]]
* Many Neo-Pagan Religions hold a view point similar to this. Believing elves, dwarfs, fairies and other supernatural beings exist.
** Much more likely to be the modern "nice" versions than the original pagan [[TheFairFolk fair folk]].
* Halloween. Things like vampires, witches, and Frankenstein's monster, which are associated with Halloween, come from different sources.
