Make My Monster Grow/Playing With

Basic Trope: Inflating the monster to an enormous size.

• Straight: Darksaur turns Dragonsaur giant-sized with a magic staff.
• Exaggerated: Darksaur makes an army of Dragonsauri giant-sized.
• Downplayed: Darksaur turns a miniature Dragonsaur normal-sized.
• Justified: Darksaur wants to inspire terror and awe in his enemies and enjoys the spectacle of defeating his enemies with giant monsters.
• Inverted: Who needs monsters? By using the staff, Darksaur turns HIMSELF gigantic.
  • Alternatively, Darksaur shrinks the protagonists, thus making him and Dragonsaur giants from their perspective, anyway.
• Subverted: The staff does not make the monster bigger. But it makes for a useful distraction or attack to help the monster win anyway.
• Double Subverted: Darksaur meant to attack the heroes, but accidentally made the monster gigantic. He takes credit anyway.
• Parodied: The monster becomes gigantic!... but is unable to move because the skeletal structure is unable to support the vastly increased body mass
• Deconstructed: The giant monster causes mass destruction in the city. Darksaur is jailed, and forced to pay out of his own pocket to repair all the buildings that were destroyed.
• Reconstructed: ...But he escapes from jail by making a new giant monster, and takes over the city!
• Zig Zagged: The monster becomes gigantic!... but is unable to move because the skeletal structure is unable to support the vastly increased body mass...Allowing Darksaur to use a necromancy spell to reanimate a Zombie Dragonsaur, and make it even bigger!
• Averted: The monster remains its normal size.
• Enforced: "People love giant monsters. Make sure to put some giant monster scenes in!"
• Lampshaded: "Bet that monster is going to turn giant." "I don't take a sucker bet."
• Invoked: ???
• Exploited: "Hmph. I knew this would happen. Time to bring out our Humongous Mecha!"
• Defied: The heroes know about the bad guy's magical monster-enlarging spells, and the first thing they do in the battle is wrap magical chains around the monster to prevent it from growing.
• Discussed: ???
• Conversed: ???
