Traverse Town
Traverse Town is a sort of haven for people whose home worlds have been lost. It is a land of eternal night, with the stars clearly visible. Traverse Town is divided into several interconnected districts, along with some areas that are not formally organized, such as the local Post Office.

In Kingdom Hearts 3D, Traverse Town is the safe haven for some of the inhabitants of Shibuya, from the game |The World Ends With You. Here, they still compete in the Reapers' Game, even when separated from their partners, by using friendly Dream Eater spirits.

Common Dream Eaters in Traverse Town include Meow Wows, Komory Bats, Kooma Pandas, Pricklemanes, and various others. The most powerful local Dream Eater is the Hockomonkey, a large simian Nightmare with multiple forms.

La Cité des Cloches
La Cité des Cloches is a world based on the movie The Hunchback of Notre Dame. It is an urbanized world, with a large cathedral in the middle of a big city. However, there are also less settles places, including a mysterious graveyard.

The City is the home to several notable characters. Judge Claude Frollo is the local authority, and the boss of Captain Phoebus. Frollo is obsessed with exterminating the local gypsy population, including Esmerelda, a young dancer. Meanwhile, the hunchback Quasimodo, the local bell-ringer, is kept inside the cathedral at all times by his master, Frollo, who wishes to protect him from the outside world.

La Cité des Cloches is home to a number of Dream Eaters, including Necho Cats, Toximanders, Zolephants, and Wheeflowers. The most powerful local Dream Eater is the Wargoyle, a monstrous creature with guns attached to its arms. It sometimes is equipped with a pair of wings.

The Grid
The Grid is based on the movie Tron: Legacy, and is the second world in the Kingdom Hearts series based on the Tron franchise.

The Grid was actually originally a world within a world. Characters within The Grid refer to a "real" world that they either came from or wish to go to. Two of these real-worlders include Kevin Flynn, the designer of The Grid, and his son, Sam. Originally, Kevin made CLU in order to help him manage the world he had created. However, when the ISO race emerged, including Quorra, the two fought, and eventually CLU took over. In the process, he took the hero of The Grid, Tron, and turned him into Rinzler.

The Gird is home to a smaller variety of Dream Eaters than some other worlds. However, they are reinforced by the Black Guard, CLU's personal army of vicious enforcers, and are actually tougher to beat than the local Dream Eaters. That said, even they pale in comparison to the Commantis, a mantis-like monster that has a lower body similar to a disc.
