Home of Monsters

There's no place like home, even for those of supernatural origin. And for some, their home is quite different from 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.

Places like this usually tend to be a Fantasy Kitchen Sink. The location itself is frequently a Deserted Island, Void Between the Worlds, and/or an Eldritch Location. Not to mention there's always the chance that the place itself is another monster.

Compare Lost World, Monster Town and Fantastic Nature Reserve.

Live Action TV

 * In Season Six of Supernatural, this is exactly what Purgatory is described to be.
 * Ultraman Ace: The Chouju of the series originate from Yapool's dimension.

Video Games

 * Monstro Town in Super Mario RPG is a town built into a stone cliffside populated entirely by common Mario enemies like Goombas and Koopas. Perhaps an Inverted Trope in that the creatures moved here to be autonomous from Bowser.
 * Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy VI had the Feymarch and the Land of the Espers resepctively, where the Eidolons(IV) and Espers(VI) lived.
 * In Final Fantasy VIII, 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 Final Fantasy XIII, 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.
 * In Dragon Quest VIII 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.
 * Bioshock: This is what Rapture has ultimately become. Sophia Lamb even names it as such.
