The David Versus Goliath plot is where the hero is the underdog in comparison to the villain. One of the easiest ways to have this come across visually to audiences is to literally make the villain physically larger. Aside from the villainous characters themselves being big, their tools and resources also tend to be bigger. If the hero has Powered Armor, the villain has a Humongous Mecha. If the good guys come from The Good Kingdom, the bad guys come from The Empire. If the hero has an average-sized Cool Sword, the villain has a BFS. At the climax of a Speculative Fiction work, the villain may go One-Winged Angel to increase his size and strength. In High School settings the local Alpha Bitch or Jerk Jock is often taller than the protagonist (and the Alpha Bitch tends to wear heels for good measurenote Interestingly, though, she's still rarely taller than her average male classmate. That's usually the province of the Huge Schoolgirl, whose height leads her peers to consider her less feminine and attractive.). The list goes on and on. Furthermore, this trope is hard to invert. The language of visual media has practically inherent connotations of size being directly proportional to strength and power so thoroughly that it is genuinely difficult to make a smaller villain without the audience developing concerns and undeserved sympathy for the antagonist having to face off against a big, strong hero; it requires lots of time and effort to work through this tendency prior to any such confrontation between hero and villain. Exceptions to this trope, when they do exist, usually make the smaller villain a Pintsized Powerhouse and/or much more intelligent and cunning than the hero. These villains include among their ranks the Depraved Dwarf, Mister Big, and evil examples of The Napoleon and Killer Rabbit. There are other practical reasons for this in Video Games, particularly in the Action or First Person Shooter genres. One reason most bosses tend to be larger than the hero is to make it easier for the player to tell when they've landed a hit. One reason Ledge Bats are so annoying is their tiny size makes it nearly impossible to judge an attack properly. Several examples of That One Boss can be a result of a tiny Boss in Mook Clothing that's hard to hit. Likewise, there's a point where a playable character's model can obscure the screen and induce Fake Difficulty. This is the reason why Large and in Charge is more common among villains. The most possible Good Counterpart of this trope is Gentle Giant. |

In Thud!, once Vimes comes back to his senses after having the Summoning Dark egg him on for weeks about the need to take vengeance on the dwarfs who'd attacked his home, he feels quite sickened about having beaten up their bodyguards. It's mentioned that humans always tend to feel this way after human-vs-dwarf melees, because by human standards dwarfs are child-sized, so harming them makes a human feel like a villain or child-abuser. Indeed, when Vimes first attacks a dwarf in the novel, this trope is side-stepped because the dwarf is about to kill someone even smaller: Vimes' infant son. | |

In Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, the Titans are the ones who build the Psyco Gundam and the Psyco Gundam Mark II, both of which stand the height of a small skyscraper. Those mobile suits designed by Paptimus Scirocco, while not as huge, still tend to be larger than average, with his final ride, the PMX-003 The O being a hulking Lightning Bruiser taller than any AEUG mobile suit and two or three times as wide. | |

Being an homage to Star Trek, The Orville features the titular ship usually facing off against the much larger Krill destroyers and battlecruisers.

This trope is all over the place in Fist of the North Star. If Kenshiro is not mowing down a bunch of punk Mooks, he will probably be fighting some enormous sized brute, such as Uighur or the even bigger Devil's Rebirth. Raoh himself, while not as huge as the previous examples, is still a giant among men (and some episodes, such as the ones showing his duel with Juza, make him seem even larger). | |

Zig-zagged across the Dragon Ball franchise: The climactic battles Goku faces against both Demon King Piccolo and his Reincarnation namesake in Dragon Ball involve the latter supersizing themselves - and Goku wasn't all that big to start with. Zig-zagged with Freeza: he is pretty small in his normal form, but grows bigger and bigger with forms two and three. When he reaches his final form, Krillin expects a huge monstrosity, but Freeza ends up more than one head smaller than Goku. note Though still far taller than Krillin Cell plays this straight with his Imperfect and Semi-Perfect forms, both of which are at least 8 feet tall (he towers over Piccolo, who is around 7'5). Cell's perfect form is actually a Downplayed example, in that it's the shortest of his forms, but Goku's fight with Cell includes a shot of the two of them squaring up to each other, highlighting that Cell is still about a head taller than Goku even without his organic "crown". Super Buu is visibly taller than any of the heroes, including Piccolo or the grown-up Gohan. Kid Buu, by contrast, is an outright shrimp...and a mindless, planet-destroying force of nature. The original Broly stands, according to official sources, at 7 ft, 7 inches, making him almost two feet taller than Goku. And that is in his base form. In his Legendary Super Saiyan form, he is almost ten feet tall (9'11 according to official sources). |

In the second season of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Lord Zedd created his own evil Zord named Serpentera, which is an enormous dragon who could crush the Thunder Megazord under its feet. Daijinryuu, Serpentera's counterpart in Gosei Sentai Dairanger subverts this trope, as it is a neutral god that fights against both the rangers and the villains as punishment for disrupting the balance of the universe. | |

Played with in Claymore. The Youma are bigger than people; the awakened beings are even bigger(some being 100+ metres tall/long) with one exception, and yet the heroines are normal-sized, if taller and a lot thinner than average, women; any fashion model could pass for one with the right makeup and contacts. The tallest, Galatea, is pegged at 185cm officially. But the most evil/dangerous villains are smaller than them. Priscilla is south of average for a Claymore in human form and about 2m and with a shape that might pass for human if fully clothed and her horn sawed off, awakened. The Organization's men are all creepy runts in black. |

In Kill Six Billion Demons this trope gets used in an Evil Versus Oblivion way. Allison and her allies are all human-sized. The Demiurges are, technically speaking, villains, but they're (mostly) human-sized, but Omnicidal Maniac Jagganoth is set up as the final villain as early as book two and is thirty feet tall. When the two sides come to blows during the Discordance, Jagganoth spends most of it fighting the much smaller (and much less destructive) Solomon David, setting up this dynamic between it. Jagganoth and Gog-Agog both later reveal a One-Winged Angel form that dwarf all the other combatants; Jagganoth is still the clear antagonist, while Gog-Agog ends up abandoning the others to their fate. | |

The Brave Fighter of Legend Da-Garn instead has a downplayed version; the Red Geist mecha used by Disc-One Final Boss Redlone.

Tolkien described Sauron's physical form in The Lord of the Rings as, "Very terrible. The form that he took was that of a man of more than human stature, but not gigantic." This trope also perfectly describes the duel between Fingolfin and Morgoth in The Silmarillion, with the Elf king darting about under the Dark Lord's hammer blows until he tires and Morgoth crushes him. Additionally, the forces of evil in Tolkien's work most often have the numerically-superior armies, larger fortresses, and giant mooks like trolls, dragons and oliphaunts that the heroes lack. Only the orcs are mostly smaller than humans. |

Played straight fairly often in Star Trek, where the usually very impressive Enterprise will be dwarfed by the bad guys' starships◊ (some expanded-universe materials indicate this was invoked by the Romulans, who designed their D'Deridex class with a lot of empty space, resulting in a ship that is much larger than Starfleet's Galaxy class but only somewhat larger in actual mass, crew and decks). Within the TV series (as opposed to the the movies) the most overt examples are TOS's Planet Killer and TNG's Borg Cube. This was continued in later shows like Deep Space Nine where Dominion Battleships competed with the D'Deridex in size, or in Voyager where Kazon Carriers, Voth Cityships, and the warships from the Devore, Hirogen, Krenim, Vidiians, Think Tank, and naturally the Borg often intimidated Janeway's ship with their size. Enterprise had the slightly malicious Vulcan Cruisers and the Xindi superweapon. Discovery had the Ba'ul Capital ships, the Klingon Cleave ship as well as T'Kuvma's Sarcophagus ship, and the Emperor's ship the ISS Charon in the mirror Universe. | |

Transformers: Prime: Like in most continuities, Megatron is much larger and more imposing than Optimus Prime for most of the series, until Optimus' Came Back Strong upgrade evens things out in Season 3. In the movie finale, things are evened out once more as Megatron's possession by Unicron grants him a larger body. Although he's ultimately an Anti-Villain, Predaking in his dragon mode is the single largest Cybertronian seen in the series (with the exception of Unicron and his manifestations and discounting the animated Nemesis), even dwarfing Optimus and Megatron. |

Animorphs: Inverted in one sense - the major villains, the Yeerks, are actually slug-like Puppeteer Parasites who require hosts to stand against the other species (both humans and aliens), who are both much taller than them. This doesn't make them less dangerous in any way. Played straight with Big Bad Visser Three, a major antagonist with the morphing power who uses it primarily to go One-Winged Angel on the heroes. David, the Sixth Ranger Traitor, always goes for the morphs that make him bigger than the others; like a golden eagle instead of a falcon and an orca instead of a dolphin. |

The Brave of Gold Goldran starts out with Zazorigun, large transforming scorpion that serves as the Disc-One Final Boss's main fortress and is accordingly the size of a modestly-sized apartment complex, with the heroes' mecha no bigger than it's eyes. The second one is Deathgarrygun, who is several times as large as Zazorigun in both incarnations; Deathgarrygun in its original default configuration is around the size of the Mt. Fuji mountain range, while the second variation formed from combining several of them results in a behemoth the size of mainland Japan. Both of these are grossly oversized when compared to the toy scaling, as the actual toy for Deathgarrygun is a head shorter than the Goldran toy. | |

The closest thing Brave has to a villain is an enormous demon bear, so any fight between him and a human will obviously have this dynamic. However, even in the final battle between the demon bear and the queen turned into a bear, the Big Bad is noticeably much bigger than the Mama Bear (which is justified, since male bears are bigger than females). | |

The Brave Series has notably used it for over half of their installments, particularly since said installments were one of the few with toys of the villains, though all of them have had a Monster of the Week that fits the description. While the Big Bad of Brave Exkaiser, Dino Geist, constantly fluctuates his size Depending on the Artist, a constant factor is that he is always depicted as freaking gigantic. His jet mode alone is larger than a large cruise ship, and in robot mode, the head heights of his underlings, who already stand at least three stories high, are either under his knees or above his ankles, and he's easily twice as tall as the heroes in their combined form. In fact, the only one who comes close to matching his height is Great Exkaiser, and even then the scaling is rarely that consistent. Another example is Draias from The Brave Fighter of Sun Fighbird, also the Big Bad of his own series. His component dark beasts alone are the size of the heroes' combined forms, but in his default robot form, he easily towers at least twice their height. Much like Dino Geist before him, the only one coming close to matching Draias in height is Great Fighbird, though that scaling goes out the window after Draias achieves his almost country-sized "Organic Draias" form. The Brave Fighter of Legend Da-Garn instead has a downplayed version; the Red Geist mecha used by Disc-One Final Boss Redlone. While not as titanic as either Dino Geist or Draias, the Red Geist is still at least three heads taller than the heroes' combined mecha, only being matched in head height by Great Da-Garn GX. The Brave Express Might Gaine has two similar examples to Red Geist above, except that these are instead piloted by The Rival. The first is Hiryu, which matches Might Gaine, the tallest of the Brave Express Team's combiners. The second is Goryu, who instead matches the taller Great Might Gaine. The one who plays this the straightest however is the series' true Big Bad, who is at least the size of the team's HQ.

Fuji mountain range, while the second variation formed from combining several of them results in a behemoth the size of mainland Japan. Both of these are grossly oversized when compared to the toy scaling, as the actual toy for Deathgarrygun is a head shorter than the Goldran toy. The King of Braves GaoGaiGar has had two examples both in the original series and it's anniversary OVA followup; the first was the origianl series' second-to-last Final Boss, the Z Master, which was at least the size of a continent. The second was Pisa Sol from the OVA, who was the size of the entire SUN. |

He's notable for burning half of his kid brother's face off for a minor slight and hinted to have murdered his father. He's employed as a Psycho for Hire by Tywin Lannister, using him to "forage," which is essentially raping and pillaging the lands of his enemies.

In One Piece, most of the evil guys tend to be veritable behemoths of muscle or fat, or at least very tall and imposing. Our heroes, except for Franky and Brook, are average sized.

In the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise, if a card is considered magical, evil, dangerous, and/or cursed, odds are that the monster it summons is big. (In fact, when Yugi first summoned Osiris in his duel against Bakura, Jonouchi yelled "It's the most humongous Duel Monster ever!") It was the same with the Wicked Gods, the Sacred Beasts, and the Earthbound Gods. The Numbers in Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL are a partial exception, as not all of them are big, but one of them, Number 9: Dyson Sphere, holds the current record for physically biggest monster in the anime, being the size of a small star. | |

Spider-Man: Venom, as an Evil Counterpart to the web-slinger, looks like a bigger, muscular and monstrous version of him. Subverted with Carnage, who became Venom's own Evil Counterpart after the latter's characterization shifted to be more of a Anti-Hero Substitute, and is generally portrayed as being a lean and mean Lightning Bruiser. While he can still be drawn as pretty buff Depending on the Artist, it's never to the level of Venom, who is musclebound even in his civilian identity. |

In Super Sentai and Power Rangers several of the villains, mostly the Big Bad or The Brute, are at least a head taller than an average human. Some of them are or can grow even larger than the Rangers' Humongous Mecha. In the second season of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Lord Zedd created his own evil Zord named Serpentera, which is an enormous dragon who could crush the Thunder Megazord under its feet. Daijinryuu, Serpentera's counterpart in Gosei Sentai Dairanger subverts this trope, as it is a neutral god that fights against both the rangers and the villains as punishment for disrupting the balance of the universe. In Power Rangers in Space, Dark Specter, the Grand Monarch of Evil, is a humongous space demon as big as a planet, with him only destroyed by a pair of missiles designed to blow up Earth. Tao Zant from Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger is a huge centipede like monster who is at least three times as big as a human. In the finale of Power Rangers S.P.D., Omni, the Brain in a Jar behind Emperor Grumm, gains a form larger than the SWAT Megazord. For justification, his body was transformed from Grumm's ship. In Mahou Sentai Magiranger/Power Rangers Mystic Force, during the first battle with Meemy/Imperious, the villain uses his magic to become larger than the Ranges' Megazord just because he could. This ended up back firing on him, however, as it caused him to run out of power, forcing him to retreat. In Tokumei Sentai Go Busters, Messiah's final form ends up being a huge figure that towers over the Buster Machines. This carries over into Power Rangers Beast Morphers with the Final Battle with Evox. |

Most of the factions in Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 are taller than humans: the Elves / Eldar, Orcs / Orks, the forces of Chaos (especially Khornates), Lizardmen, Kroot... An exception in 40K is the Tau, who are shorter and less physically capable than humans (which is why they prefer to shoot their enemies from miles away) - but by the standards of the setting, they tend to be a lot nicer than humans. The Skaven in Warhammer Fantasy are also smaller but have far, far greater numbers... and definitely count as evil (the Skaven also play this trope straight with some of their units - the Stormvermin are a rare breed of Skaven that are bigger and stronger than normal humans and then there's the various bio-engineered monsters like the Rat Ogres). Take to extreme levels in 40k (as usual) with the C'Tan star gods, who were so massive outside their necrodermis shells that they didn't even notice planets. When they're not doing it with individual troops, they're doing it with armies. As a general rule, the Imperium or Empire is always going to be outnumbered in any situation featuring troops of equal or lower quality on the tabletop, and especially the case in the novels. This is doubled in the case of Space Marines, who are enormous compared to a lot of their opponents (eight feet tall, covered in Powered Armour, genetically enhanced out the wazoo), but it's a response to an incredibly dire situation if there are more than a hundred Space Marines involved, while Orks and the smaller Tyranids generally appear in swarms. The Norsca are basically Vikings taken straight from a Heavy Metal album cover, and are naturally bigger than southerners... and that's before you get into stuff like Chaos armor and mutations. When the Traitor Primarchs gave themselves to Chaos and became Daemon Primarchs, most of them got a lot bigger in the process. And they were already huge in the first place. Horus in particular — during his fateful clash with Sanguinius and the Emperor at the end of the Heresy while possessed by all four of the Chaos Gods, he towered over them both. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Most of the major antagonists are bigger (or in Tirek's case, end up bigger) than the average pony. In fact, the only one who is normal-sized is Sunset Shimmer! She becomes good though as of the second movie, Rainbow Rocks. When Princess Luna became Nightmare Moon out of jealousy, she made herself Celestia's size to go with the rest of the Evil Costume Switch; she's normally larger than mortal ponies but smaller than 'Tia. Starlight Glimmer is also an aversion, but, just like Sunset Shimmer, she also turns good. Inverted with Cozy Glow, a pegasus filly. She's one of the smallest characters in the show, and is one of the only characters who rejects redemption. |

Another example is Draias from The Brave Fighter of Sun Fighbird, also the Big Bad of his own series. His component dark beasts alone are the size of the heroes' combined forms, but in his default robot form, he easily towers at least twice their height. Much like Dino Geist before him, the only one coming close to matching Draias in height is Great Fighbird, though that scaling goes out the window after Draias achieves his almost country-sized "Organic Draias" form. | |

Primal (2019): Fang, the sympathetic Tyrannosaurus, when shown side-by-side with the human Spear, appears to be around 8 meters long, which is relatively small for her species. The antagonistic (although more "predatory" than "evil") horned tyrannosaurs in the first episode are slightly bigger, and their leader is humongous with a body length between 20 and 30 meters. The elite warriors of the villainous ape-men are huge gorilla-like people a lot larger than the heroic caveman Spear. The black potion their champion drinks turns him even bigger and even more evil. |

The Bridge plays it straight, subverts, and averts it depending on the situation. Godzilla Junior, resident Big Good kaiju, 100 meters tall. Grand King Ghidorah, resident Arch-Enemy, 150 meters tall. Godzilla is larger than the gyaos he fights however, it's more a matter of their being more than one. Arguably one of the most benign and heroic kaiju, Mothra, is also the smallest of the core six in terms of mass. Subverted with Godzilla Senior's "children". The most heroic, Godzilla Junior, is the smallest; but it's Ambiguously Evil Xenilla who's in the middle. The largest is Biollante, who is a neutral party. Monster X is the "good" side to the split personality and is around 100 meters tall. Kaizer Ghidorah is his Superpowered Evil Side and is 45 meters taller as well as more massive. The Sirens are older and with the exception of Sonata, taller than the Rainbooms. However in the Crystal Empire Arc, Xenilla's unicorn body is slightly larger than King Sombra despite being the Lesser of Two Evils and going after Sombra; though King Sombra is larger than Princess Cadance. Though both can shift in size to shrink or grow, in their default forms, Goddess of Creation, Harmony is smaller than God of Extinction, Bagan. Both Godzilla Junior and Xenilla, when they finally team up, are smaller than a charged up Grand King Ghidorah. Once Sci-Twi gives into her Windigo powers, she becomes the much-taller Frostbite Sparkle. |

In Mobile Suit Gundam The Federation focuses its resources on producing one kind of mobile suit. The Principality of Zeon, in contrast, squanders its resources on the construction of a number of huge mobile armours, including the Brau Bro, the Elmeth, and the colossal Big Zam (itself piloted by seven-foot tall Admiral Dozle Zabi). Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory: The Gundam that Gato steals, the GP02, is a massive brick of a mobile suit that completely dwarfs protagonist Kou's suit in both height and width. After the Mid-Season Upgrade Kou gets the much larger Dendrobium, Gato gets the absolutely gigantic Neue Ziel. Played with in that the Dendrobrium's thrusters give it much greater length when compared to the Neue Ziel. In Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, the Titans are the ones who build the Psyco Gundam and the Psyco Gundam Mark II, both of which stand the height of a small skyscraper. Those mobile suits designed by Paptimus Scirocco, while not as huge, still tend to be larger than average, with his final ride, the PMX-003 The O being a hulking Lightning Bruiser taller than any AEUG mobile suit and two or three times as wide. In Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny the Destroy Gundam is put into action by Blue Cosmos, the coalition of racist groups behind the Atlantic Federation. A combination of the aforementioned Big Zam and Psyco Gundam, the Destroy is a walking Weapon of Mass Destruction that burns its way across Eurasia before being halted in downtown Berlin. In Mobile Fighter G Gundam, the Devil Gundam is extremely large for a mobile suit, and is the principal antagonist of the series. Interestingly, it is largely immobile, so its lieutenants do most of the real fighting. |

The Shadows (and later Vorlons) in Babylon 5 employ massive starships that easily dwarf those of the Younger races, especially during the Shadow war when the villainous spider-looking Shadow ships fought against the smaller Whitestars of the Army of Light. And then they start deploying their Planetkillers which are even larger (the Shadow Death Cloud, for example, can encompass a PLANET, the Vorlon planetkiller dwarfs the already massive Vorlon Dreadnought). The Minbari Sharlin Warcruiser during the Earth-Minbari war was seen as this in-universe. While Earth ships are of comparable length, because the Sharlin is taller and sleeker, they appear to dwarf even the Nova Dreadnoughts of the time. The Drakh employ ships that are almost 3 kilometers in length as their standard Cruisers. And they also have the mobile base/ship manufacturing motherships which are almost 30 kilometers in length. |

Transformers: Justified in most versions, as most of the Decepticons tend to favor larger military vehicles for their alt-modes as opposed to the smaller civilian vehicles favored by most of the Autobots. Beast Wars subverted this in its final season where Optimus Primal's Optimal Optimus form was much larger than Megatron. Unicron exaggerates this, as he's the size of a small planet. It's even lampshaded in this action figure commercial. Played straight in Transformers: Animated, although to an inconsistent degree - Your Size May Vary is a franchise-long issue for Transformers. The Decepticons are typically presented at least as being a head taller than Optimus Prime, but in some shots they're over twice his height. The size difference is still something widely noted about this series: in most series, the characters are kept similarly sized, not always making sense with what they'd turn into. In this one, the guy who turns into a fighter jet is as ridiculously huge compared to the guy who turns into a compact car as he ought to be, and it works because you want the bad guy to be imposing and threatening. Megatron, a V-22 Osprey with some tweaks, naturally towers above everyone who isn't Omega Supreme. Transformers: Prime: Like in most continuities, Megatron is much larger and more imposing than Optimus Prime for most of the series, until Optimus' Came Back Strong upgrade evens things out in Season 3. In the movie finale, things are evened out once more as Megatron's possession by Unicron grants him a larger body. Although he's ultimately an Anti-Villain, Predaking in his dragon mode is the single largest Cybertronian seen in the series (with the exception of Unicron and his manifestations and discounting the animated Nemesis), even dwarfing Optimus and Megatron. |

In Happy Heroes, the primary antagonist for most of the series is Big M. His name is self-explanatory, for starters. While he's not especially large, he is slightly taller than most human characters and robots you can find on Planet Xing. In fact, in Season 10, they made him even bigger, and in the third movie he's bigger still. Little M., the assistant of Big M., is over half the length of the man he serves when the series begins; in Season 10, he's half the length instead; and in the movie, Big M.'s length is equivalent to about three Little M.'s placed on top of each other. | |
