Huh, til terrestrial shrimp exists. Would've thought it will be categorised as something entirely different.

I'm more tickled by the fact that "The Cyclops Mountains" are a real place and not just part of a D&D campaign run by a DM who's bad at names 😆

What, like real mountains aren't named after things you find there?!?!

They can be!

I visited the Rocky Mountains once. The name checked out.

Conversely, "Himmelbjerget" (translation: Sky Mountain) does not reach the sky and is in fact a 147m (482 ft) tall hill.

What does the top touch if not sky? I would say that all mountains above sea level technically touch the sky

Either a gift shop or a touristy restaurant. Haven't been there in a long time, so I'm a bit hazy on the details.

Well it's just a hill, not a mountain, and there's buildings on top of it, so double no lol
