* ''SavageDragon'' has God City, where various freaks and offspring of the gods go to live.

* 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 [[SlasherSmile infamous]] [[RedBaron "Slayer of a Thousand Men"]] [[BloodKnight Jinsuke Kurogane]].

* ''RahXephon'': Tokyo Jupiter where the Mulians and their dollems make themselves at home.

* ''ThePowerpuffGirls'' has Monster Island (by mention only), where all the {{Kaiju}} come from.

* Monstro Town in ''SuperMarioRPG'' is a town built into a stone cliffside populated entirely by common Mario enemies like Goombas and Koopas. Perhaps an InvertedTrope in that the creatures ''moved'' here to be autonomous from Bowser.

* Can anyone say "The Nightside" from ''[[{{Nightside}} Tales Of The Nightside]]'' by SimonRGreen? Not exactly where the monsters come from, but all monsters eventually end up there.

* Monster Island in the older ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' movies. Mothra's origin is always from Infant Island except in ''Film/GodzillaMothraKingGhidorahGiantMonstersAllOutAttack''.

* Midian in ''{{Nightbreed}}'' is where the monsters live.

* In ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVIII'' 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.

* 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.

* ''FinalFantasyIV'' and ''FinalFantasyVI'' had the Feymarch and the Land of the Espers resepctively, where the Eidolons(IV) and Espers(VI) lived.
** In ''FinalFantasyVIII'', 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 ''FinalFantasyXIII'', 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.

* Monster Island in the older ''{{Godzilla}}'' movies. Mothra's origin is always from Infant Island except in ''Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Monsters All Out Attack''.

* ''StarshipTroopers'': Klendathu, home of the arachnid race.

* MarvelComics has Monster Island, which is inhabited by monsters and the {{Kaiju}} that used to run rampant through the Marvel Universe during the fifties, as well as some of the Mole Man's underlings. It was also the home to [[FantasticFour the Thing]] for a while.

Places like this usually tend to be a FantasyKitchenSink.

* The deep valleys of the Hork-Bajir homeworld in {{Animorphs}}. The Hork-Bajir actually called them monsters, although they were created by the Arn in reality.

* In Season Six of ''{{Supernatural}}'', this is exactly what Purgatory is described to be.

* {{Buffy the Vampire Slayer}} and its many otherworldly demon world probably qualify.

There's no place like home, even for those of supernatural origin. And for some, their home is quite different from [[{{Muggles}} ours]]. It could be anything from a dark forest, to hidden caves, or maybe even an entirely different plane of existence. The one thing they have in common is their significance of being the place where these fantastic beings were born and raised.
