History Main / IslandOfMisfitEverything

** The basements of Annex-1 are or were home to a complex ecosystem of ''particularly'' weird intelligent non-humans who even the Black Ops Social Services didn't know about until Tip accidentally discovered them in "The Borrowers" -- and by "complex ecosystem", we mean "they were all preying on each other".

* TropeNamer; the Island of Misfit Toys from ''WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer'' is a place where toys, made strange and unlike other toys for one reason or another, are granted a home by flying lion and the island's ruler King Moonracer. When Rudolph, Hermey and Yukon Cornelius arrive at the island, they beg for sanctuary, reasoning that ''they too'' are misfits. Reluctant, Moonracer agrees. Later on, Santa Claus comes and takes the toys to new homes.

* ''VideoGame/DarkSouls''

** In the ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII'' DLC: ''Ashes of Ariandel'', features the Painted World of Ariandel. Like Ariamis, Ariandel is a snowy realm created to house forlorn souls. [[spoiler:In fact, it's the ''same'' Painted World, countless recreations after the Chosen Undead visited it in ''Dark Souls''.]] The big issue is that a particularly dangerous Unkindled, Sister Elfriede, has convinced the land's restorer, Father Ariandel, to keep prolonging its existence and decay rather than allow flame to consume and recreate the world, subverting its original mission and keeping the forlorn alive and suffering.

* The basements of Annex-1 in ''Webcomic/SkinHorse'' are or were home to a complex ecosystem of ''particularly'' weird intelligent non-humans who even the Black Ops Social Services didn't know about until Tip accidentally discovered them in "The Borrowers". And by "compex ecosystem" we mean "they were all preying on each other". Skin Horse is somewhat this itself, as it works to find nonhumans a place in a society that doesn't entirely recognise they exist, and most of the staff are ex-clients. (And their TokenHuman was ''also'' put there because he didn't fit in anywhere else.)

* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode "Obsoletely Fabulous", Bender is left obsolete by a new robot model, where he then refuses to get the upgrade that would make him a-okay with being obsolete. He runs away from society and winds up on an island populated entirely by other robots who refused to get upgraded, each out of date even by Bender's standards and in various states of disrepair.

* The underhives and sewers of Imperial cities from ''TabletopGames/Warhammer40K'' often end up as the only refuge for mutants, criminals, giant spiders, rogue psykers, and the less subtle Chaos cults (and subsist on isolated people, occasional raids on higher levels, and each other). Genestealer cults, being able to pass for human, keep their more monstrous members down there.
