Normally, landmasses don't particularly look like anything. However, sometimes in fiction, a landmass is discovered that looks like a particular lifeform or object. There can be several reasons for it: It serves as a quick indicator of what can be expected from the island and shows it as having more importance than expected — for example, an island that looks like a Star may be expected to hold stars or some other astral material. It can serve as a warning that the island is not a place of safety — for example, an island which looks like a skull can be expected to be a dangerous place. It may be shaped to an element thematic to the work, such as a bone-shaped island in a world of dogs. It can even act as a deliberate message in-universe, created by some strange force for whatever reason. Generally, if this trope is in play, expect the island to be named after their shape. To note, for it to count as this trope, it can't be connected to any other landmass, and it can't be a mountain shape — the landmass itself must be that shape. However, a peninsula does count as it provides the boundary between land and water forming a shape, especially if the coastline provides a clear image. Super-Trope to Crescent Moon Island. Sister Trope to Faceship, which is about vehicles or vessels shaped like the self-image of someone or something. See also Shaped Like What It Sells for when this applies to stores and Monster-Shaped Mountain for when it applies to mountains. Compare to Giant Corpse World for when the reason the island looks like a creature is that it once was a creature and World Shapes for when this concept is applied to planets. |

King Kong: King Kong (2005): This remake portrays Skull Island in the shape of a skeletal hand, due to the island's gradual sinking into the ocean, meaning the current remnants are mostly a series of mountain ranges of a once larger landmass jutting out of the sea. Kong: Skull Island: The Monsterverse incarnation of Skull Island takes the name far more literally than previous iterations (which merely had skull-shaped mountains), making the landmass itself shaped like a human skull seen from above. |

TaleSpin: "The Idol Rich": Inverted when Baloo and Kit take part in a treasure hunt. The treasure is said to be "right under your nose." A map of the area shows a lake that's shaped like a moose's head. An exchange with Colonel Spigot and some troops from Thembria results in Baloo being held upside down. When they do, Baloo sees that Moose Lake resembles a nose with a moustache under it. | |

The Simpsons: "Treehouse of Horror XIII": The segment The Island of Dr. Hibbert takes place on a skull-shaped island. According to the Rigellians Kang and Kodos, it looks like their race's equivalent of the number 4. The Italian Bob has a flashback explaining how Bob ended up a mayor in an Italian town. Pointedly trying to avoid interacting with Bart, he indulges in some Map Stabbing of a globe to look for somewhere to go. He hits an island named "Bartovia" shaped like the winking head of Bart and irritably says "Now cut that out" before trying again. |

American Girls: Samantha: In Samantha Saves the Day, Samantha and her grandmother and cousins go on vacation to Goose Lake. Inside the goose's "head" is one island shaped like an eye and another shaped like a teardrop. The latter is called Teardrop Island, and it's where Samantha's parents died. They had been visiting the island by boat and were heading back when they were caught in a storm and their boat was destroyed by sharp underwater rocks, causing them to drown. | |

RWBY: Invoked in-universe. In the world of Remnant, there are two continents that have a dragon-esque appearance. The eastern continent of Anima has a serpentine form and the unnamed north-western continent has a lizardine form. Although the original map creation produced these shapes by accident, it was incorporated into the lore of the world in the form of a legend about the two Brother Gods who created the world. When the Two Brothers fought over the fate of the world, they agreed to enter a state of hibernation; the God of Light became the continent of Anima and the God of Darkness became the unnamed north-western continent. They sleep until The Day of Reckoning, where they will judge humanity's existence. Although there is truth to the legend that the two Brother Gods have dragon forms and that humanity is under a secret test of redemption that could see them destroyed if they fail, the disappearance of the two gods is more complicated than them becoming the continents, and the fairy tale is implied to be humanity's way of explaining the appearance of their world. | |

Holes: In both the book and the movie, it's stated that after being robbed by Kissin' Kate Barlow and wandering through the desert, Stanley Yelnats I is stated to have found refuge on "God's Thumb". It's rather vague what this statement means until Stanley sees a huge rock formation off in the distance from Camp Green Lake. It seems to look like a gigantic thumb, and he even holds up his thumb to it to compare. It turns out the rock formation is what Stanley the first meant as God's Thumb. | |

For example, the Cap Kingdom is shaped like a top hat, and the Cascade Kingdom is shaped like a triceratops skull; the Mushroom Kingdom, of course, looks like a Super Mushroom. Super Mario Sunshine: Isle Delfino is shaped like a dolphin (Delfino means "dolphin" in Italian). |

Chrono Cross: Sky Dragon Isle is shaped like a crescent moon. Late in the game's story, it unfolds into Terra Tower, with the arms of the crescent also becoming the arm of the tower itself. Gaea's Navel is shaped like a cylinder, surrounded on all sides by impassable cliffs. Ironically, it's the one part of the El Nido Archipelago that wasn't created by FATE or sent back in time to counter Chronopolis like Terra Tower. |

And Then There Were None: Depending on the edition, the island got its name because, from a nearby cliff the profile seems to resemble the head of a Black man, or an American Indian, or a soldier. Downplayed because the actual island shape isn't remarkable, and the resemblance is just from one angle. | |
