Greetings, new Dungeon Core! I am your friendly Dungeon Helper, here to get you started! What's that, you say? You're from another dimension and have no idea how you got here? Don't worry, that happens all the time! We blame the Gods. (Popular ways to become a Dungeon include Divine Recruitment, summoning rituals Gone Horribly Wrong, Necromancy Gone Horribly Right, reincarnees getting misfiled by the Celestial Bureaucracy, or simply people dying while in contact with the right kind of magical rock. Usually all those are done as First-Episode Resurrection and usually Reincarnate in Another World. Oh, and occasionally some Dungeon Cores are just created without any soul shenanigans at all, but those guys are kinda stupid and uninteresting.) Where was I? Yes, from now on, you are the Genius Loci of a dungeon. Inside your domain — which you can expand, with effort — you can rearrange your corridors and place traps for unwary intruders! You can also summon monsters to guard yourself, evolve them into new forms and promote some of them into Bosses. As you grow in power, you will be able to unlock more Floors in your Dungeon, each of which can be given its own theme. A high-level number may unlock additional options. As you dig down, the increasing Mana concentration will allow for placing ever-better traps and monsters. Remember to keep your vulnerable Dungeon Core in the very bottom of your Dungeon, guarded by your most powerful Boss Monster, to keep it safe! The downside is that your editing power fizzles out in the vicinity of intruders, and also you will be metaphysically unable to wall your core off — there must be a traversable path from the surface to your core. (Of course, it can be made arbitrarily unsafe to travel...) Now, typically, the three resources of a Dungeon is your Mana, which is absorbed passively from the world and used to perform work, your Mass, the elements you absorb from the world and used to build with, and your Dungeon Points, which grow as you absorb items and bodies, and can be used to research new creation options. Dungeons often have particular overarching themes; this can affect the type of monsters, loot, and challenges available — and naturally, the type of adventurers they attract. Picking a starting monster type is usually the first step toward picking a theme, though sometimes Titles and Skills the Dungeon Core earns via consistent effort will be just as important. Note that picking Undead or Demonic starter monsters — or just starting to expand on the surface instead of digging straight down — is a good way to be marked as a threat and purged by the local inquisition! You're probably going to be at odds with Adventurers, but don't go thinking you're some kind of Absolute Evil because of that. See, Dungeons are important structures in the world, essential for proper Mana circulation, and they are also convenient places for humans to practice adventuring. Well, the humans you don't manage to kill and recycle into Dungeon Points. It's a symbiotic relationship, kinda. Dungeons provide vital resources, and attract adventuring tourists, so expect a city to form around your Dungeon, and surrounding countries to try to claim or conquer that city! There are ancient and powerful Dungeons in the world, with uncountable floors, able to take human shape to interact with visitors, and change the laws of physics themselves within their corridors. Some say that the sapient races were originally created as Dungeon monsters, escaping and multiplying. Others say that the world itself is but a floor in such an ancient Dungeon, the Gods its Mini-bosses.This is what you can aspire to — but that is only if you don't get crushed by a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits with rusty swords in your first week of existence! So, be sure to keep the traps ready, the chests of gold filled, and the monsters hungry! |

Sword World RPG: The second edition of the game has an interesting variation: In the world of Raxia, there exists an untold number of powerful sentient magical swords who are capable of creating their own dungeons to hide themselves away in, filled with traps and monsters that are attracted into living there, specifically to test the worthiness of any adventurers who might enter to find someone strong enough to wield them. They can do this because they were originally cloned from the Swords of Genesis, the three (or maybe four) magical swords that created the world of Raxia itself centuries ago. Being swords doesn't mean they don't have personalities either. In the city-state of Granzale, there's one particular Sword Labyrinth that is used as both a form of execution and a final chance for the convicted to prove their innocence because the sword at the center of it hates injustice so much that those it finds guilty of crimes will disappear never to be seen again if they wander its halls too long. | |

She has ongoing problems with her damaged core but it has allowed her to embed a shard of herself into a golem body and in the process is slowly learning how to be a better person. | |

Dungeon Keeper: The player controls a "Keeper", a bodiless Sorcerous Overlord whose only physical presence is an immobile stone Dungeon Heart that sustains your life. Your minions claim territory in your name, which you can instantly furnish into various dungeon rooms that attract and support a force of evil minions. You can build rooms and traps, cast spells within your territory, and relocate your own forces, but otherwise rely on your minions to accomplish your goals. Some levels pit you against rival Keepers. | |

Dungeon Keeper Ami places Ami from Sailor Moon in the world of Dungeon Keeper, where she is forced to take on the job of a Dungeon Keeper. She still has her own body, but gains substantial powers over her claimed territory, in exchange for dying if all her Dungeon Hearts are destroyed. Unfortunately, dungeons in this world aren't considered to be important parts of the ecosystem, but rather manifestations of the dark gods, to be terminated with extreme prejudice... | |

EarthBound (1994): Dungeon Man is a strange and humorous Unbuilt Trope take on this. It's a dungeon with a vaguely humanoid outer façade that was built around a dungeon-obsessed man named Brick Road with help from Dr. Andonuts. Brick Road himself serves as the "Dungeon Core" in the sense that he has embedded himself in the center of the dungeon with his head sticking out of a wall — and once the player finds him there, the Dungeon Man will follow the party as a powerful Guest-Star Party Member. The dungeon itself is a Breather Episode as far as difficulty, being full of weak enemies and numerous hint signs; Brick Road was more concerned with showing off his creativity than challenging adventurers. | |

In Factory of the Gods, and the coreverse in general, dungeons are source herocores and the mana they need to replenish and rank up. When a soul combines with a mana core it becomes a dungeon core and must set about building a dungeon to lure adventurers in so they can also grow stronger, generating mobs for them to fight. This happens to Pholma when he dies, which causes him to lose most of his memories. Later Julain has a dungeon core implanted in him while he is still alive, becoming a weird version of a dungeon. | |

Core of Fear has Clive Logan, a prolific serial killer, sent up from Hell as a "Spirit Core" to torment the living in the form of a haunted house. Unlike most examples of the genre, he does not have a single place which may be attacked, but rather needs to be banished room by room (and he tries to avoid his targets even being aware of his existence). Also unlike most cases, he does not have direct control of the house itself. | |
