When a rocky topographic feature — a mountain, hill, giant boulder, or even an outcrop at sea — plays an important role in a work of fiction, writers are prone to making its appearance unique and memorable. As few writers or viewers are geologists, saying it's made of such-and-such a type of stone can contribute little to the work, either descriptively or dramatically. Making it look like a creature, however, is sure to strike a chord with the audience. This trope typically comes in two variants: The geological feature looks like a tremendous creature, or part of one. Whether carved out by natural erosion or shaped by some long-ago civilization's sculptors, its resemblance sets the mood for the locale: a mountain shaped like a tiger evokes a different ambiance than one shaped like a gigantic fist, for example. Its distinctive appearance may be utilized in-story as a landmark for navigation ("Walk two miles towards the peak shaped like a horse's head..."). If it resembles a creature that is held to be sacred by the local culture, expect the terrain-feature to be considered holy as well. The mountain actually is a tremendous creature, one that was either made of stone to begin with or Taken for Granite. If it's dead or merely inert, it may be overgrown with vegetation; if it is dead, maybe the inhabitants are living in a fossilized skeletal structure, or even the skull of this creature; even if alive, locals might even have built homes on its surface, making the possibility that it might wake up and start moving a serious concern. In cases when the creature is openly known to be alive, it will often fulfill some benign protective role for nearby inhabitants. If the Mountain is intelligent as well as living, it's a type of Genius Loci. Both variants are often combined with Cave Mouth. Mountaineers may find themselves engaged in a Colossus Climb. For its squickier sister trope, see Giant Corpse World, a landscape made of a decaying corpse. If it's an actual landmass rather than mountain that resembles a creature, then it falls under Object-Shaped Landmass. Contrast That's No Moon, in which a geographic feature may seem nondescript at first, but later reveal itself to be something else as a surprise. May overlap with It Kind of Looks Like a Face. |

Nancy Drew: Chicken Ridge, from The White Wolf of Icicle Creek, looks just like you'd expect from the name, at least when it's covered in snow. In The Creature of Kapu Cave, 3 Finger Rock actually does look like a trio of human digits... although such stubby ones, they might better have called it 3 Toe Rock. | |

RuneQuest: In Glorantha, the primary setting, True Dragons are a part of the landscape of the world, forming several major mountain ranges. Even the smallest known True Dragon is dozens of miles long. Most of them are asleep, while their spirits wander in other planes, but one in the vicinity of Kralorela acts as a guardian deity of sorts for the nation, occasionally communicating with their Emperor, who is a human with a dragon's soul. | |

The key is the two Eyestones found nearby after acquiring the Spirit Arc, as hinted by Tokk's line "The gaze of the great Kwolok admits only the worthy".

Dragaera: Dzur Mountain is one of the major locations in the series, and is shaped like the ferocious feline it's named for. Adrilankha's name, according to Paarfi, was derived from how the cliffs on either side of the city's harbor resembled a bird's outspread wings. Subverted when one of the "wings" collapsed into the sea during Adron's Disaster. A character in one of the Paarfi novels references an outcropping shaped like a hawk's beak while giving some travelers directions. |

Eberron campaign setting. The "Dragons of Eberron" supplement has a mountain in Sarlona that closely resembles a giant dragon's head, although without being recognisable as any specific breed of dragon.

King Kong: Several fictional homages to the original King Kong (1933) have taken Skull Island's name literally, depicting either its central mountain peak or the actual shoreline as skull-shaped. In Peter Jackson's King Kong (2005), numerous rock outcroppings surrounding Skull Island are carved to resemble snarling ape-faces. Played with in Kong: Skull Island, with a grouping of rock formations that together resemble a skull when viewed from a certain angle. |

Discworld: The Colour of Magic: One of the worlds that the sea troll observed while drifting through space was actually a continent-sized sleeping dragon, its mountain-sized spinal ridges capped with snow. In The Light Fantastic, Rincewind and the group who've captured him find themselves in a troll-shaped mountain. Then they light a fire in a convenient cave and find out it's actually a mountain-sized troll. In Equal Rites, the Paps of Scilla, a mountain on the caravan-route from Zemphis to Ankh-Morpork, has stirred a lot of speculation about the lady in question, because it has eight peaks. In Small Gods, Om directs Brutha to head towards a tall, erosion-shaped rock that looks... very unexpected, really. Apparently the wind god has a rather crude sense of humor. Lords and Ladies: The burial mound of the King of the Elves looks like a person — at least, a specific part of a person — and leaves Nanny Ogg curious to see if it's to scale. Carpe Jugulum: In a small-scale example, a limestone formation in the shape of a witch sits near the entrance to a cave beyond the gnarly ground. In Wintersmith, the titular elemental creates icebergs that look like Tiffany Aching. Previously, in A Hat Full of Sky, the Chalk itself takes on Tiffany's form within her Mental World. |

Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft campaing setting: In the adventure "Neither Man Nor Beast", the beach where the player characters become marooned on Markovia is covered with giant stone figures buried waist-deep in the sand or just offshore. Graben Island is shaped like a three-clawed monstrous hand. Tomb of Horrors: The entrance to the infamous adventure is through one of the openings in a skull-shaped cliff. The Dragonlance campaign setting has Skullcap, cranium-shaped site of a long-ago evil wizard's stronghold, and the cover of the module Dragons of Light features a huge dragon statue carved out of a mountaintop. Dungeon: A short adventure is located at the site where a huge dragon and the flying ship it'd attacked crashed into a pool of lava. Several of the caverns in the resulting dungeon are shaped like dragon parts, as the lava had congealed around its skull, limbs, ribcage and tail. The Draconomicon supplement reveals that this is how a dragon can die — rather than suddenly succumbing to the centuries, a dragon can choose to consume its hoard and undertake a ritual that allows it to merge with the landscape. The resulting hills or lakes are typically shaped like a dragon head or footprint, and are ideal nesting sites for future generations, as eggs laid there are magically hidden from danger, while wyrmlings can commune with the departed dragon's spirit for guidance. Eberron campaign setting. The "Dragons of Eberron" supplement has a mountain in Sarlona that closely resembles a giant dragon's head, although without being recognisable as any specific breed of dragon. The dragons themselves believe it to be proof that the progenitor wyrms exist and that Eberron really is made of an ancient dragon. In the Mystara-setting adventure "O2: Blade of Vengeance", the red dragon lair lies behind the eye sockets of a huge skull carved into a mountainside. An invoked example, as the resident dragon's grandsire had it carved that way by enslaved dwarves to intimidate his humanoid minions. The old-time solo adventure module "UK5: Eye of the Serpent" gets its title from this trope: from the top of the mountain where the adventure begins, a river that runs down to a small lake with a single island looks like a snake. There's also a cave in the adventure in which dripping mineral deposits have encased a long-ago hunter's dead body, creating a humanoid-shaped limestone formation. The third-party planar adventure sourcebook Beyond Countless Doorways includes the realm of Palpatur, a former Genius Loci world that was traumatized when warring demons and devils turned it into a battlefield, devastating the landscape. The sentient world's resultant anguish caused gargantuan, pain-wracked faces to erupt from the ground, and these mountain-sized faces still remain there, even after Palpatur sank into a coma. |

Song of the Sea has a large island located a distance from the main characters' lighthouse home, which is shaped like the legendary Irish hero Mac Lir. Ben claims that the island is Mac Lir, who was Taken for Granite by his own mother Macha, though he mainly says this to scare Saoirse. This turns out to be true, though Macha turned Mac Lir to stone not out of malice, but to take away his emotional pain and prevent him from drowning the world in his tears. He eventually returns to life at the end of the film. | |

Defending the Legion from another, disgruntled reject with memory erasing powers, he completely forgot everything of his identity with only the thought to never give up being left. The rest of the Legion forget where a sorely needed headquarters came from, though they do feel some familiarity to it. | |

The Curse of Monkey Island: Parodied with "Skull Island", which turns out to have a prominent mountain that's clearly in the shape of a duck. When the ferryman claims it looks like a skull if you squint at it and tilt your head sideways, Guybrush points out that just makes it look like a bunny instead. | |
