The jungle is a harsh and hostile place, frequently deadly for its denizens, but even more ferocious to outsiders no matter what gear they bring with them. This jungle is treated as a semi-sentient entity; a soup of consciousness composed of the ferocity of its native life and climate. And it hungers. It devours sane minds with its stifling and claustrophobic atmosphere, infecting all who enter with a slow, creeping madness in an effort to make them its own. This same climate breeds fetid decay and disease, which likewise infests the body. On top of this, the marvels of modern technology count for nothing. The humidity of the jungle devours advanced technology in a trice. Keeping anything working is a constant, day-to-day struggle to keep up with the jungle's ruination, which further wears at the sanity and morale of any who try it. The jungle's inhabitants don't make it any better. There tend to be hostile natives, cannibal tribes, and cat-, and lizard-people. It's also home to spiders, scorpions, centipedes and other dangerous arthropods, both the normal-sized and giant variety, poisonous and large constricting snakes, tigers, leopards, and other large cats, aggressive monkeys and apes, some of which are gigantic. The jungle's lakes, rivers, and swamps are full of hippos, crocodiles and piranhas. There are even dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures in extreme cases. Even the plant life is liable to try to take a bite out of you, and let's not even mention what the local fungi can do. And even the nonliving environment is full of danger, from sand traps to waterfalls with sharp rocks on the bottom. If you're a Jungle Princess, you will most likely be a Damsel in Distress who spends the majority of the story almost being eaten or tied to a stake until the Tarzan Boy Nature Hero comes. After all, this is a great place to be Captured by Cannibals. The only way out is to die or go mad. Here, you can't imagine there's a world beyond the jungle. The jungle boils everything down to its rawest, most savage form. God help you if you have to fight a war here, which isn't unknown. See also Swamps Are Evil, Don't Go in the Woods, and Jungle Opera. Closely related to River of Insanity. Sort of like the Thirsty Desert, though the similar names are coincidental. For places commonly depicted this way, see Darkest Africa and the less urbanized versions of Holiday in Cambodia. See also Jungle Japes for jungle-inspired video game levels. If you're an author; see Write a Jungle Opera |

Most of the Maguuma Jungle in Guild Wars 2 is not actually that bad; quite pleasant in fact, although there are a few places where you need to watch your step. On the other hand, the Heart of Maguuma to the west, the setting of the first expansion Heart of Thorns, is bordering on a Death World- filled with packs of hungry saurians, hordes of vicious chak, inhabited by several tribes of the froglike Hylek (some friendly, some xenophobic in the extreme) and, worst of all, patrolled by the Mordrem, particularly the deadly Mordrem Guard. This is the domain of Mordremoth, the jungle dragon. The jungle IS the dragon. And it is very hungry. | |

Apocalypse Now, based on Heart of Darkness, transposes the action to the Vietnam War, with the main characters traveling up a River of Insanity through Vietnam and into Cambodia. The jungle is depicted as an active threat to the American characters' minds, although the only actual danger it directly poses is a brief scene in which they are stalked by a tiger, but manage to escape with no loss of life. | |

The Heritage of Shannara: The jungle of Morrowindl is as bad or worse, being a dank, swampy mess, infested by predators, mutants, and Shadowen, including the monstrous Wisteron. The Black Oaks of Southland aren't much better, and characters go out of their way to avoid them, courtesy of the hungry wolf packs that make their home there. In The Sword of Shannara this results in them screwing up and heading straight into the far worse Mist Marsh. | |

For example, the varzea of the Viisiiviisii in Drowning World. Besides carnivorous animals (which do things like create sucking whirlpools in rivers and shoot toxic darts) and carnivorous plants (which move remarkably fast), spores and microplants and parasites will invade anyone who doesn't constantly try to clean them off, finding a way through even the best-sealed environmental clothing. | |

EXTRAPOWER: Giant Fist: Marva Forest, home to the Duba people who are defensively territorial about their jungle. They also specifically disallow Zophy entrance. Unfortunately, they have permitted the Barracuda mercenary group to hide out in the caves deep in Marva, so it becomes necessary to fight through the Duba, their traps, the occasional irate snakes dropping from the trees, and Chief Duba himself to earn the right to pass through. Certain death, if the player characters weren't the World's Strongest Man, a pyramid witch, or a devil. | |

Shannara: The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara: The Crake Rainforest may not be alive and hungry but the Graak certainly is. The local Rindge avoid the place as much as possible for this very reason, and the entire region has a sort of Primal Fear vibe to it. The Heritage of Shannara: The jungle of Morrowindl is as bad or worse, being a dank, swampy mess, infested by predators, mutants, and Shadowen, including the monstrous Wisteron. The Black Oaks of Southland aren't much better, and characters go out of their way to avoid them, courtesy of the hungry wolf packs that make their home there.

Skull Island in King Kong. Everything there wants to eat you. Softened a bit in Kong: Skull Island, which gives a fairly sympathetic portrayal of the native Islanders, and some of the local fauna - particularly the gigantic-but-peaceful sker buffalo - inspire more wonder and awe than terror. |

The five women trek through deep, lush rain forest, slipping on rotting leaves, sinking into mud, negotiating swift currents, and constantly watching the dripping sky.

Pathfinder: The Mwangi Expanse consists of a stretch of trackless jungle covering a good third of the continent of Garund, and while the human and elven natives are cordial enough (if generally wary of outsiders), it's also home to apes who want to eradicate humanity, cultists of various demon lords, and a great variety of predators and giant insects — it's often noted as the one place on the surface world where one can reliably run into dinosaurs. The Valashmai Jungle, a stretch of mountains and rainforests south of Tian Xia, is to the Mwangi Expanse what the Expanse is to the rest of the world and explicitly described as one of the most dangerous regions in the setting. The jungle is abominably thick, paths are swallowed by new growth within weeks, and the horse-sized insects and giant man-eating plants are the least of your worries compared to the local Kaiju. Deep Tolguth is a giant cavern deep Beneath the Earth, with a false sun providing light to the thick jungle that covers its floor. It's home to immense populations of dinosaurs, who share the jungle with arthropods as big as they are, primitive tribes of humans and orcs, and the last city of the xenophobic, demon-worshipping xulgath Lizard Folk. The Abyss has a few layers that fit this trope as well, as the Outer Planes' nature means they're under no obligation to restrict themselves to rational ecologies. Ahvoth-Kor, the realm of Angazhan, the demon lord of apes and jungles and one of the most popular demonic lords in the Mwangi Expanse, is a hellish rainforest watered by rains of blood and home to demonic versions of normal jungle predators. Gluttondark, the realm of Zevgavizeb, the demon lord of caverns, reptiles, predators, and the above-mentioned xulgaths, is a series of jungle-filled caverns roamed by dinosaurs, giant bats and Zevgavizeb himself. |

The Flight of the Alicorn: The Impenetrable Lands are a gigantic, trackless stretch of jungle and swamp at the southern edge of the known world. Their name derives from the fact that no expedition has successfully crossed them — indeed, it's not even certain how large they are. The jungle's weather and wildlife operate entirely on their own, unlike the ones in settled lands that are controlled and direct with magic, and, after Rarity crash-lands in its depths, she finds it to be full of stifling heat, biting flies and dense, impassable undergrowth, and filled with dangers such as trees hosting colonies of flesh-eating insects and waters teeming with voracious predatory fish. However, it also home to things such as flowers with magical healing properties, prompting occasional attempts to penetrate and study it. | |

Mass Effect has a few of these, including Zorya and Pragia. Pragia is notable in that the jungle consumes things in hours. Constant efforts must be made to hold back the explosive plant growth, and failing for as little as six hours means your carefully constructed building is now mostly consumed by plant life. |

Shows up in some chapters of Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried, especially the part with Mary-Anne. Actually somewhat inverted as well with Mary-Anne: "Sometimes I want to eat this place. Vietnam. I want to swallow the whole country - the dirt, the death - I just want to eat it and have it there inside me. That's how I feel." |

Traveller: In the Double Adventure "Marooned/Marooned Alone", one terrain type on the planet Pagliacci is "Jungle". The players can encounter quicksand and the alien equivalent of army ants. If the water isn't filtered it damages the drinker, and each week the PC's must make saving rolls or suffer disease damage and/or equipment malfunction. | |

In Superman/Supergirl: Maelstrom, Clark Kent and Kara Zor-El travel to a distant alien world and explore a strange jungle. Although Superman assures Supergirl that it is a safe place, every animal is a dangerous predator prone to attack him and his cousin, and nearly all plant life is poisonous. | |

The jungles of the Rook Islands in Far Cry 3 are surreal, colorful and teeming with flora, fauna and fungi, to say nothing of the Ruthless Modern Pirates and Private Military Contractors. It's almost as if the islands themselves are trying to bring insanity and/or death upon those who set foot on them. | |

Numenera: The Caecilian Jungle is a large, star-shaped patch of rainforest at the northern end of the Beyond and home to a great variety of predatory beasts. Its depths are home to ruins and wonders — such as a frog-shaped temple that draws amphibians to itself, a miniature city and a garden of carnivorous plants — that draw a steady stream of explorers and expeditions, despite the fact there no one who ever went in has been know to come back out again. | |

The Donkey Kong games generally avert this in favour of Jungle Japes, jungles being the home environment of the Kong family. The Forest world in Donkey Kong Country Returns, however, has shades of this for its relatively high difficulty and general level of overgrowth, featuring trees much taller than those encountered in the Jungle world, forming a dark canopy over most levels. One level in particular, Muncher Marathon, could be called hungry, as it has the players running from an Advancing Wall of Doom in the form of a swarm of just-hatched spiders. | |

The jungle from Romancing Saga 3 is is nightmare labyrinth where you can get lose for hours to end because every exit randomly transports you to a new area. The key is following the different colored butterflies near the exits to your destination of choice. One false step, though, and you will be led to deeper into the jungle until you luck runs out and fall before the creature that lurks there. | |

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: Loompaland is a Death World jungle — the Oompa-Loompas suffered from the double whammy of carnivorous predators, some of which could eat ten of them at a time, and unpalatable food (caterpillars, tree bark and beetles). (In the pre-Bowdlerised original text, they were black pygmies from Darkest Africa rather than Caucasians from a fictitious country.) Yes, their lives as Willy Wonka's secret workforce may be Happiness in Slavery, but when this was the alternative... | |

Gaunt's Ghosts: Traitor General takes place on the planet Gereon. The Chaos influence drives the Ghosts team slowly insane, pitting them against each other uncharacteristically, and that seems pretty bad already... then they're forced to flee into the "Untill", a massive, unmapped swamp filled with moths so poisonous that merely brushing against them causes instant death. Ironically, the Untill's lethality makes it something of a safe haven from the forces of Chaos, who find it as impenetrable as everyone else. | |

Magic: The Gathering: In general, this is a common tropical spin on Green’s forests, as a natural result of Green’s love of untamed wilds, its profusion of ravenous monsters and gigantic insects, and its hatred of technology and skill in breaking it down. The flavor text for the card "Ravenous Baloth", which depicts a massive reptilian predator, is: Zendikar is a world where nature is trying to kill you dead. Among other things. |

Warhammer 40,000: Catachan, the mascot for the Death World trope, is covered by a world-spanning jungle where everything is meat-eating, toxic, explosive and out to kill you. It's the recruiting grounds for the Imperial Guard regiment of Catachan Jungle Fighters who are all uber-manly, Rambo-looking soldiers who love every minute of it (at least, the 25% of Catachans who survive past age 10). Selected wildlife includes the Catachan Devil (a centipede with jaws the size of a tank), Blood Wasps (insects that can eat a man alive), and the Catachan Barking Toad, a grouchy amphibian who responds to any disturbance by exploding, taking anything within a kilometer with it. It's been suggested in-universe the worse ones evolved from Tyranid organisms that lost contact with the Hive Mind and went feral. There are several varieties of Man-Eating Plant on Catachan, every last plant is toxic, and the ones that can't directly kill humans worm their way through concrete, to the point where there are no permanent settlements on Catachan, everything has to be rebuilt every few years. It's possible the jungle itself is sentient and hates humanity. The water is full of viruses and bacteria, to the point where Catachans are more afraid of disease than the plants and animals. How horrible is the place? Well, at one point the planet was entirely cut off by Warp storms and under daemonic assault. When Imperial reinforcements could finally get through, the Catachans had taken care of the problem already. |

Warhammer: Lustria is the worst jungles in South America taken to eleven; most of the continent is covered in trackless swampland and rainforests teeming with swarms of aggressive insects stinged and bloodsucking alike, enormous carnivorous plants, giant snakes, and man-eating dinosaurs, all quite happy to kill you — unless the plagues or the ever-present crushing heat do so before they can (and that's without getting into the zombie vampire pirates on the coast). The only reason anyone ever goes there is to search for wealth and magical artifacts in the golden cities deep in the jungle. Pity that there's a race of killer dinosaur-people living there who take a decidedly dim view to people walking off with their sacred artifacts... | |

A running theme throughout the Predator franchise. In Predator the film's portrayal of the jungle slowly moves towards this until the Predator invokes it full force by picking off the heroes one by one. As stated in the real examples, the actual shooting of the film was very tough due to the jungle conditions. Predator 2 describes the city setting as a "concrete jungle" portraying the dangerous city in much the same manner of the harsh jungle. Predators has a massive jungle on an alien world made for the very purpose of hunting. It is cruel and harsh with danger lurking in the form of several Predators, alien animals and fellow "prey". |

The Lost City of Z is a biopic about Col. Percy Fawcett (played by Charlie Hunnam), a key figure in Amazon exploration and popularizing this trope in general. After a simple surveillance expedition, Fawcett becomes convinced he has stumbled upon the ruins of an ancient civilization that has been hidden under jungle foliage, a theory that he spends the rest of his life trying to prove, to the detriment of his career and reputation - although he was posthumously vindicated when those ruins were indeed found and cataloged. The Amazon is depicted as a place of constant danger and disease, but as Robert Pattinson's character says, "The jungle is hell, but one kind of likes it." Eventually Fawcett's exploration takes him down a kind of River of Insanity into a place of transcendent wonder that very much resembles the psychedelic final scenes of Apocalypse Now. Some critics who are more familiar with the real-life Fawcett, however, have complained that the film isn't crazy enough, since the real Fawcett was a notorious Cloudcuckoolander, and the film downplays both these tendencies and the stranger and less probable elements of his narrative. See below under Real Life for more. | |

MacGyver (1985): The Amazon Rainforest is portrayed this way in "Trumbo's World". Trumbo is in a constant battle to keep the jungle from swallowing his plantation, and a swarm of army ants threatens to devour the everything in its path. | |

Chronicles of the Kencyrath has the Anarchies, a forest tainted by ancient magic. At one point in "Dark of the Moon", a band of brigands follows Jame into the Anarchies. Only one survives to confront her as the bandits slowly get picked off by strange mushrooms, hills that absorb their sleeping forms, and weird creatures. | |

In Rimworld, the Tropical Forest biome presents many challenges and not many advantages. Thick mud and choking undergrowth make moving around or building anything difficult, and if the predatory animals don't get your colonists, the rampant disease will - a talented doctor will be worth his/her own body weight in gold. The silver lining is it's just as deadly for any raiders who are foolish enough to come into your jungle home. | |

Softened a bit in Kong: Skull Island, which gives a fairly sympathetic portrayal of the native Islanders, and some of the local fauna - particularly the gigantic-but-peaceful sker buffalo - inspire more wonder and awe than terror. | |

There are many dangerous biomes in Terraria, but the Jungle is one of the nastiest to stumble into. | |

The oppressive nature of the jungle, with its ever present humidity and torrential downpours, is a major factor preying on the sanity of the Aussie soldiers in Vietnam in The Odd Angry Shot. | |
