** A good example of this is Lomei Labyrinth Island in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild Breath of the Wild]]''. Several walking [[BossInMookClothing Guardians]] patrol the center corridor of the maze, while at least one stationary Guardian can be found lurking around a corner and flying Guardians patrol the top of the maze in case you try to be clever and [[DungeonBypass climb over the walls]]. To top it off, [[spoiler: the end of the maze drops you into a vast basement with about a dozen Guardians, which all activate at once [[SchmuckBait when you open the treasure chest you land in front of.]]]]

* ''ComicBook/SimonDark'': In the labyrinth beneath the Moss Estate which Simon and Tom have to pass through to stop the ritual the cultists are performing that will kill everyone in Gotham they run across three monsters. While they do attack the heroes Simon is able to mentally connect with them and realize the trio hates the cult too, and they all team up after the initial misunderstanding.

* Invoked in ''Manga/SoulHunter'': the penultimate floor of Chou Kohei's cruise ship Queen Joka is a massive labyrinth, infested by many Yokai Sennin including a giant earthworm-man with corrosive powers and a hornet-man who uses pheromones and a bee swarm to command a small army of mummies (which are actually hollow and animated by the bees).
* During the Gourmet Pyramid arc from ''Manga/{{Toriko}}, the titular hero and [[TokenEvilTeammate Zebra]] have to explore the huge maze-like Dungeon which is the Gourmet Pyramid (Which is actually the ''roof'' of a sunken tower belonging to a huge underground palace) and find it infested with many dangerous animals, all of which are classified as special ingredients and need to be killed and prepared in a certain way. The objective of the arc, the Mellow Cola, is the tears of the biggest and baddest beast in the maze, the Salamander Sphinx.


Added DiffLines:

* In ''[[Literature/GoldenDragonFantasyGamebooks Keep of the Shadow Lord'']] you must enter a stone maze where a massive minotaur prowls, looking for a prey... then it's subverted when the beast proves harmless if you [[DeliciousDistraction throw him a bone]] and his human master is the real threat.
* Given the maze-like nature of the dungeons, this trope is unsurprisingly common in the ''Literature/FightingFantasy'' series of gamebooks, with plenty of monsters roaming the labyrinths either by chance or by choice.

Can be used in a TrappedWithMonsterPlot, as well as complicating a DungeonBypass. Similar to a DragonHoard if the beast is guarding a vast treasure within the labyrinth. Similar to AbandonedMine, especially if the beast's presence is a result of DugTooDeep. Can be a variation of SealedEvilInACan, especially if the beast itself is searching for a way out. If the beast within the maze is a KingInTheMountain, be careful not to invoke AwakenTheSleepingGiant. For beasts that ''are'' mazes, see MobileMaze and LivingStructureMonster. Similar to IsleOfGiantHorrors where monsters reside on an island instead of a maze. For a wider range of monster dwellings, see HomeOfMonsters.

* In ''Anime/{{Kakurenbo}}'', five demons hunt the group of children through a maze-like GhostCity in a twisted game of Hide and Seek until only one child is left. Four are straightforwardly monsterous in appearance and methods of hunting; their leader, the fifth, is far more subtle and horrifying.

* The Beast of London in ''Literature/{{Neverwhere}}'' is an archetypal mythical creature comparable to the alligators in the sewers of New York. It takes the form of a gigantic boar and prowls a maze far, far, beneath the city where it also incidentally guards the prison of the angel Islington.

Be warned. If the creature catches wind that someone is trespassing within its domain, [[SuperPersistentPredator it will continuously pursue its prey until either they manage to escape its lair or kill the beast]]. Usually in games, this beast ends up being the BossBattle you'll have to win in order to escape. However, it is possible that the creature is too powerful for you to fight and the only thing you can do is [[AdvancingBossOfDoom keep away from it otherwise you'll die if it catches you]].

This type of creature is a favorite to villains, who tend to confine [[EvilIsNotAToy monsters]] [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters dangerous to]] [[HoistByHisOwnPetard even them]] [[LockedInTheDungeon to dungeons underneath]] [[EvilTowerOfOminousness their castles]] while at the same time, employ a TrapDoor to drop TheHero and his comrades [[FedToTheBeast into his pet's]] [[TrappedWithMonsterPlot domain]], [[LovesTheSoundOfScreaming thus prolonging their suffering]] as they [[RunOrDie feverishly try to find the way out]] ([[IdiotBall if the villain was stupid enough]] [[GenreBlindness to put one in]]), while trying to keep from being found by the villain's pet.

Can be used in a TrappedWithMonsterPlot, as well as complicate DungeonBypass. Similar to a DragonHoard if the beast is guarding a vast treasure within the labyrinth.

The worst part about being lost in a maze is sometimes not the fact that it has so many [[CutAndPasteEnvironments twists and turns that look identical]] and [[MobileMaze at times seem to shift its corridors]]. What can really make them troublesome is that sometimes, they are the home of a vicious monster. A creature that prowls the labyrinth in search of prey, the entire maze its giant lair. Often, the creature [[NothingIsScarier isn't seen onscreen]], with the only hints that something is living in there the bones of its victims, giant footprints, claw marks on the walls, {{Shadow Discretion Shot}}s, and the occasional roar of something nearby. In many cases, this is to intensify the suspense of the one lost in the labyrinth, culminating in TheReveal [[RevealShot Shot]] in which TheHero finally comes face to face with the monster.
