Badland regions are arid regions characterized eroded stone terrain features such as canyons, mesas, cliffs, and unusual rock formations. Fictional badlands are often inhospitable places where it is easy to get lost and water is scarce. Ravine labyrinths may ensnare the unwary, old mines and abandoned ghost towns may speak to better times, and fossils and boneyards may be scattered about the lands. Badlands are often depicted as lawless territories, and may be home to cowboys, wasteland raiders, and wandering nomads.

Fictional badlands are unforgiving landscapes, often serving as frontiers or wastelands. They are characterized by a combination of harsh conditions, treacherous terrain, and a sense of untamed wilderness. These fictional badlands often exist beyond the borders of civilization where the rule of law has little meaning, and the people are as hard as the rocky landscape itself. Great rivers may carve their way through the region, creating massive canyons that divide the land. Mesas and buttes may rise from the ground to tower above. Towers of rock, hoodoos and stone arches, may be present.
