This often overlaps with AlienLandmass, as both involve the use of large, unearthly landscape features to symbolize that a story is moving through realms unlike our own. See also SaharanShipwreck, DesertSkull, RibcageStomach and ElephantGraveyard. For a much larger version of this concept, see GiantCorpseWorld. When the huge creature in the background is still alive, see MonstrousScenery; overlap is possible if the being is undead.

Compare ForebodingCarcass, which is when there's a literal dead body of an animal somewhere in a scene that is used for {{Foreshadowing}} purposes.

* ''Literature/PerdidoStreetStation'': The city of New Crobuzon contains a neighborhood, Bonetown, ''entirely'' inside the ribcage of some monstrous beast. Said beast is most certainly some stripe of EldritchAbomination, given the following: 1. All attempts at removing the Ribs fail. 2. All attempts at building over them also fail, with building just not going right and completed constructions just suddenly collapsing for no reason, despite being brand new and structurally sound. 3. Tools used in construction projects against the Ribs always malfunction, break, and wear out supernaturally quickly and often. 3. Workers involved in such projects report feeling unsettled, and frequently suffer horrific nightmares and visions. Often, workers just suddenly disappear without a trace...
