* In ''WesternAnimation/JimmyNeutronBoyGenius'', Jimmy and Goddard grow to planet size to deafeat Goobot.

** Insectosaurus, a 350-ft grub worm [[{{Kaiju}} from Japan (where else?)]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'': At the climax of the movie, [[spoiler: an argument between Mei and her mother Ming causes Ming to lose both her temper and control of her sealed panda spirit. She turns into a {{kaiju}}-sized red panda, big enough and [[UnstoppableRage angry enough]] to cause serious property damage to the Toronto Skydome]].

* In the classic '50s monster movie ''Film/{{Them}}'', the US Army learns what's worse than a single giant [[ILoveNuclearPower radioactive ant]]: A ''hive of them''. This movie came out in 1954, ''before'' giant monsters were commonly used in movies. The first half of this movie is played like a ''detective story'', then you get a GenreShift.

** In the same show, exposure to a meteor from space turned April's {{Nerd}}y work-mate Irma into a giant in the episode "Attack of the 50 Foot Irma".

* In ''Machinima/GamingAllStars'', many of the antagonists’ one-winged angel forms count as this (E.g. [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee Giga Bowser]] in ''The Ultimate Crossover'' and ''Remastered'', [[VideoGame/MediEvil Zarok’s]] cobra form in ''2''), as well as villains who are already rather jumbo-sized in the first place (E.g. [[VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet The Negativitron]] and [[VideoGame/{{Rampage}} Ralph]] in ''The Ultimate Crossover'' and ''Remastered''). Either way, they absolutely ''dwarf'' all of the human-sized characters.

** ''Manga/LuckyStar'' has a ShoutOut to this in the form of CovertPervert Hiyori fantasizing Minami and Yutaka as lesbians, one of the fantasies being a 50-foot [[IllGirl Yut]][[OlderThanTheyLook aka]] posing just like the original.

** Piccolo and a one time villain Namekian from one of the movies, Slug, have displayed the ability to make themselves grow to gigantic sizes.

* ''Series/TheElectricCompany1971'': [[TemptingFate Do not bother]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext this tiny person.]] Or he will send his [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin big]] brother after you!

* In almost every episode of ''Monster Warriors'', the titular warriors would face a giant monster brought to life out of an old B-Grade movie.

* The music video for RollingStones' "Love Is Strong" features giant versions of the band playing around.

*** [[ComicBook/{{Brainiac}} Brainiac 13]] is a mechanical behemoth. How big of a behemoth? His ''head'' is bigger than a ''skyscraper''.

*** ''ComicBook/ThePlagueOfTheAntibioticMan'': Superman tries stops Jevik, a thirty-foot-tall, bipedal yellow-furred alien monster which looks like a cross between a dog, an elephant and a lizard, from rampaging through Central City.

* ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'': At the climax of the movie, [[spoiler: an argument between Mei and her mother Ming causes Ming to lose both her temper and control of her sealed panda spirit. She turns into a {{kaiju}}-sized red panda, big enough and [[UnstoppableRage angry enough]] to cause serious property damage to the Toronto Skydome.]]

* ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'' has giant versions of many animals, the largest being the giant sperm whale which is larger then a real world blue whale. Gods help you should a giant sperm whale ever be infected with undeath as they will then proceed to come onto land to murder your entire fort. Other giant animals include giant sponges, which while not as deadly as in an earlier version where they were effectively invincible (except to copious amounts of magma, a drawbridge, having the water they were in drained, or a cave in) can still fuck your shit up far more then any sessile animal ought to be able to, and giant cave spiders which have a poison that will slowly but inevitably kill your dwarves (and most other creatures) via total paralysis followed by suffocation.

* ''VideoGame/{{Extrapower}}'': A staple in the series, given some of its {{tokusatsu}} influences. Certain enemies like Stone Mack or Sinner Shiner are already gigantic, recurring bosses Mensouma and Undata are sometimes imbued with dark energy to double their size. In ''VideoGame/ExtrapowerStarResistance'', Undata becomes large enough to be as tall as half the stage, and one of the final bosses is against the gigantic, muscle-bound Shakun Star Central Computer.

* ''VideoGame/JetIsland'' has giant spiders, lizards, and worms, as well as multiple drones scatered about that all dwarf the player.

* Eileen from ''WesternAnimation/WordGirl'' increases in size if she does not get what she wants, and she even grew taller than a skyscraper in the episode "The Birthday Girl".

This generally violates the SquareCubeLaw, but [[RuleOfCool that's okay]]. For humans, expect MagicPants to be in effect — can't have a giant ''naked'' person, after all. The MoralGuardians would freak.

* Happens to Vinicius in ''Webcomic/{{Vinigortonio}}'' during a test on [[BerserkButton Natural Sciences]].

** The titular monster from "Clammadon Rising", who’s basically a ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' {{expy}}.

* In ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', Piccolo and a one time villain namekian from one of the movies, Slug, have displayed the ability to make themselves grow to gigantic sizes.

* Chiri from ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' grows into a giant in one episode to fight an alien invasion in a parody of the ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' movie. There's also a Giantess panty shot, but only because it was relevant to the episode's theme.

* Early on in ''Manga/ViolinistOfHameln'', the [[TheDragon Demon King Drum]] assumes his true form -- as a colossal, multiheaded dragon -- and attacks the royal city of Sforzendo. At one point during the battle, [[{{Jerkass}} Hamel]] proposes magically enlarging [[TheChick Flute]] so she engages Drum in a {{Kaiju}} battle, but is shot down immediately when they realize the equally-colossal [[PantyShot upskirt view]] she'd give the whole city.

* David Crane's ''VideoGame/Ghostbusters1984'' from Creator/{{Activision}} has the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man make an appearance to stomp down buildings on the city map if the player doesn't lure it away using ghost bait, as well as block the entrance to the building that the Ghostbusters must enter to stop Gozer in the final battle.

* {{Shapeshift|ing}}er Jimmy T in the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'' did this when all of [[SuperheroSchool Whateley Academy]] was under attack. He first transformed into a 50 foot woman, and when he got blasted, he went ''bigger''. He shifted into an 80-foot Godzilla copy.

** The [[Comicbook/MsMarvel2014 second Ms. Marvel, Kamala Khan]], is a polymorph who's capable of this by issue #3.

* ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'', the skyscraper-sized dinosaur is this. At 350 feet, a total length of 550 feet 2 inches long, and 90,000 tons, [[Film/{{Godzilla 2014}} the 2014 version]] is the biggest and heaviest Godzilla of all time. Until he was one-upped by ''Film/ShinGodzilla'' who is 118.5 meters tall, a full 10 meters taller than his Legendary counterpart and much meaner, uglier, and in a sense more pitiable.

** An entertaining example comes from the climax of ''Film/{{Ghostbusters 1984}}'', when BigBad Gozer makes the Busters choose a form for the monster it will summon to destroy New York City. While the other Ghostbusters try to empty their minds, Ray tries to think of the most harmless thing he can imagine: the mascot for Stay-Puft Marshmallows. Which results in a giant, grinning, sailor-hat wearing humanoid monster made of marshmallows stomping through Manhattan.

* ''Series/{{Massive Monster Mayhem}}'' is a game show where one of the 3 pre-teen contestants grows massive size to combat one of Master Mayhem's Monsters, via finding power pods and activate the Megalaser to defeat the monster.

* The plot for ''UG♥Ultimate Girls''. Three High School girls grow to 30 meter stature, then fight the monster of the week. Lather, rinse, repeat. However, subverting the MagicPants trope is the whole point of the show.

** Besides the Zentraedi, ''Macross Frontier'' also has the Vajra, who are basically BigCreepyCrawlies [[RecycledInSpace IN SPACE!]], with the largest ones bigger than most capital ships.
