** Yakra's lair is hidden deep inside Magnolia Cathedral, and is guarded by fiends disguised as nuns (and later as the people you're there to rescue).
** The Reptites (sentient dinosaurs) have the Reptite Lair and Tyranno Lair. The former is underground, with passage secured by waiting for beetle enemies to dig holes to the next level, while the latter is surrounded by volcanoes but looks more like a medieval castle (65,000,600 years before the Middle Ages, mind you).
** Magus' castle is a classic EvilOverlord's castle on an island accessible only behind a hidden cave in a mountain range, complete with giant dragon statue on top and uses psychological warfare like fake save points, undead minions who beg to be killed, CreepyChildren, and monsters disguised as trusted figures in your characters' life (the latter two don't even do anything to you until you find the first boss). It gets taken over by the QuirkyMinibossSquad later, but with far fewer traps and more BossArenaIdiocy.
** The Ocean Palace is a monstrosity of a building that reaches from the ocean's surface all the way down to the planet's core. Once Queen Zeal is beaten the first time, it takes to the skies as the Black Omen, a huge flying fortress that... [[OrcusOnHisThrone just floats in one place]] for a few thousand years. You can actually visit it in three different eras, and fight Queen Zeal again up to three times until it disappears for good.
