'''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.
** Darksaur turns Dragonsaur planet-sized with a magic staff.
* '''Downplayed''':
** Darksaur turns a miniature Dragonsaur normal-sized.
** Darksaur turns Dragonsaur bigger, but slightly bigger than most normal-sized.
* '''Justified''':
** Darksaur wants to inspire terror and awe in his enemies and enjoys the spectacle of defeating his enemies with giant monsters.
** Dragonsaur was on its last legs. Making it bigger was a last ditch effort to beat the heroes.
* '''Inverted''':
** Who needs monsters? By using the staff, Darksaur turns HIMSELF gigantic.
** Darksaur shrinks the protagonists, thus making him and Dragonsaur giants from their perspective, anyway.
** Or the monster ''shrinks'' instead, becoming more dense and thus stronger.
** Or Darksaur turns ''the protagonists'' into giants, making them bigger targets for Dragonsaur.
* '''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 huge and winded up bumping on the edge of the universe.
** Darksaur misses his monster and accidentally turns an innocent bystander giant instead.
* '''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''': "Well it could have been worse: Could have been bigge- OH GODDAMNIT!"
* '''Invoked''': "With this enlarged Dragonsaur, this pathetic country will be mine to keep!"
* '''Exploited''':
** "Hmph. I knew this would happen. Time to bring out our HumongousMecha! (Man! IAlwaysWantedToSayThat!)"
** Darksaur launches the normal-sized [[FastballSpecial Dragonsaur out of a cannon]], and then enlarges it as it flies, creating a devastating impact.
* '''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''': "Bet that monster is going to turn giant." "I don't take a sucker bet."
* '''Conversed''': "{{Sentai}} shows ''always have'' monster-enlarging scenes, and we fans don't mind that."
* '''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.
** Having more mass greatly increases the amount of energy Dragonsaur needs just to stand up.
* '''Reconstructed''': ...but he escapes from jail by making a new giant monster, and takes over the city!
