History Main / TreetopTown

* ''Webcomic/SlightlyDamned'' has the Tree of Peace which is [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/slightlydamned/images/6/6f/51522307gFjC3Is.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120705132805 so massive]] it has [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/slightlydamned/images/6/60/TreeOfPeace_SD836.png/revision/latest?cb=20171104134606 smaller trees in its branches]], these trees once housed a large village of [[PettingZooPeople jakkai]] but they all left to found the city of St. Curtis around the roots and now the abandoned village has been consumed by nature.

* Taken UpToEleven in the ''Crystal Key 2'', where the Nehli of Meribah live on the branches of trees that are ENORMOUS, hence their name, "Monolith Trees". Even the Nehlis' houses are built from mushrooms that grow on the branches.

* Fortree City in ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald]]'' and their remakes is made up of leaf-roofed huts built on platforms in the trees, connected by wooden bridges and reachable by ladder. This is taken to new heights (literally) in the ''Manga/PokemonSpecial'' manga, where Sapphire and Winona have their Gym battle (Winona's the Gym Leader, naturally) in the city proper rather than an actual Gym.

* The ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' card [[http://magiccards.info/ddagvl/en/27.html Treetop Village]].

* The [[https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/fc/32/16/fc3216feb661212ffae6a35744b803de.jpg Ewok Village playlet]].

* ''VideoGame/TheWitness'': The northeast portion, by the shipwreck, includes one, accesible only by boat.

* The brigand's village in ''VideoGame/HypeTheTimeQuest'' is hidden within the tree tops in the forest. It consists in several wooden cabins linked by rope bridges.
* Titania in ''VideoGame/SunlessSkies'', which is built on top of an humoungous flower.

* The tree-walkers in ''The Memory Of Sky'' (a ''Literature/GreatShip'' novel) inhabit the trees that grow from the [[HollowWorld ceiling of the world]], and use [[ZeppelinsFromAnotherWorld zeppelins for travel]]. Trees eventually have to be evacuated, as their roots can give away with age, causing them to plummet towards the floor of the world - into the [[GiantFlyer corona's]] [[DeathWorld realm]].
* The Kindar of the Literature/GreenSkyTrilogy keep their entire civilization up in the massive Grund trees, and are forbidden from walking on the forest floor because of lurking monsters. Some Kindar, particularly infants who fall, but even adults, can be caught unaware and are never seen again [[spoiler: The monster part isn't true. The ''real'' reason is so that the Kindar don't run into people the Ol-Zhaan priesthood exiled - and the ''descendants'' of those exiled or fallen.]]

Compare TreehouseOfFun and ArborealAbode. TreeTrunkTour is the sister trope that takes place ''in'' the trees instead of on them.

* The Nasat homeworld in the ''Franchise/StarTrekNovelVerse''.

* [[Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory The Oompa-Loompas]] lived in these back in Loompaland, to afford them some protection against [[EverythingTryingToKillYou predators.]]
* Zephir's village from the Literature/{{Babar}} series qualifies.

* The [[=RainWing=]] village in ''Literature/WingsOfFire'' is one, as you would expect from dragons adapted to living in the rainforest. Also counts as a HiddenElfVillage due to their isolationism.

* Canonical for the Wood elves in many TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons settings.
** Basic D&D supplement ''[[http://index.rpg.net/display-entry.phtml?mainid=5124 The Elves of Alfheim]]'' (TabletopGame/{{Mystara}}). In Alfheim the elves have various tree houses connected by ladders and catwalks. The area "Sky City" in Alfheim Town is a network of rope bridges and catwalks connecting "treeforts" in the huge Sentinel Trees. And then "you'll walk right under it and never notice" type of Wood Elf settlements everywhere.
* The old Role Aids supplement "Giants" has a race of forest-loving giants, who live in a TreetopTown that ''moves''.

* The ''VideoGame/TheJungleBook'' licensed game has The Tree Village, which serves as the sixth level of the game. There are huts in it that take Mowgli to a different one when he goes inside them. The boss of the stage is the WitchDoctor, which is actually three monkeys standing on top of each other with a large shield in front of them.

Compare TreehouseOfFun and ArborealAbode. TreeTrunkTour is the sister trope that takes place ''in'' the trees instead of above them.
