A mostly adventure story trope, where a primitive tribe worships a giant animal as a god or otherworldly entity, leaving it sacrifices of food (and occasionally humans). The animal itself is rarely sapient, only learning that food regularly appears in a specific part of its territory if it leaves the humans alone. This makes the tribe appear even more primitive as the object of their tribute is a mere representation of nature's power which they feel helpless against and thus deify. Compare Appease the Volcano God and Fed to the Beast. Examples |

King Kong: King Kong (1933): Possibly the Trope Codifier where the natives of Skull Island leave a sacrifice (the "bride of Kong") behind a wall so the giant gorilla leaves their village alone. King Kong (2005): In this one, the villagers seem to view Kong as a guardian deity who protects them against the dinosaurs on the island. |

Redwall: The Taggerung has a tribe of pygmy shrews who feed on schools of tiny eels that migrate through their lands every year. In order to ensure that this happens, they choose a tribe member by lottery (they walk under a dripping stalactite and whoever gets splashed is chosen) to be fed to Yo Karr, an enormous eel they believe is responsible for bringing its tiny brethren. Tagg is having none of this and kills Yo Karr himself. In Doomwyte, Korvus Skurr's tribe of crows, carrion birds and reptiles lives in a cave where a wels (a giant catfish) lives. They believe the wels is an oracle that only Skurr's snake advisor Sicariss can understand, and throw reptiles into its pool to attract it and interpret its wisdom. In fact it's just a giant fish, the "speech" is actually the wels opening and closing its mouth with Sicariss pretending to understand it. It ends up in an underwater fight with Baliss, a blind adder whose face is full of infected hedgehog spikes... and still loses to the snake. |

MO: Astray: The Inhabitants once had a mutually beneficial relationship with the giant worm Doula, caring for it's eggs as a show of thanks for being 'Mother of the Land' and providing huge quantities of life-giving water. Doula is no longer holding up it's end of the bargain after being experimented on and mutated by human scientists. It continues to lay eggs but the offspring are shown to be mutated and vicious to the inhabitants who still try to look after them. | |

Discworld: Parodied in Small Gods, where an extremely backwards swamp-dwelling tribe worships a giant newt and has no concept of fire or war. The newt shows up on Cori Celesti (because of how belief works on the Disc) and is just as ignorant as its worshipers, conceptualizing war as "like the time Pacha Mog hit his uncle with big rock, only more worse". | |

Somewhat inverted in InCryptid, where the Aeslin mice worship the human Price-Healy family as their Animal Religion, and rely on their gods to protect them from larger threats, like dangerous predators and the Covenant. Before encountering the family, the Aeslin played this straighter, worshiping a chicken. | |

Pathfinder: Krakens are sometimes worshiped by coastal communities, either as avatars of nature or as divine figures themselves. In a variant, krakens are highly intelligent and malevolent and tend to think that Humans Are Insects, so they might accept the reverence — or demand it. | |

Subverted in The Stormlight Archive. Due to some mistranslations early in contact, the Alethi assume that the Parshendi worship the Chasmfiends and Greatshells that live around the Shattered Plains. Their real gods are their ancestors, who return to life every Desolation. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: The Sandstorm sourcebook describes thunderbirds as often being worshipped as nature spirits and embodiments of the elements by desert-dwelling peoples. The Stormwrack sourcebook mentions the natives of an undersea village seeing a giant shark as a kind of protector, because it scares off other predators. Isle of the Ape (essentially one long King Kong Shout-Out) has a 30-foot-tall ape (several, actually) believed to be a god by the natives who regularly leave sacrifices to it consisting of pigs, monitor lizards or the occasional ape or human along with mountains of fruit and vegetables. The apes aren't particularly hungry for meat, they consider it a bonus as they're mostly interested by the fruits. Krakens occasionally accrete cults of humanoids awestruck by the monsters' immense power and anxious not to find that power directed at themselves. Krakens pleased with their worshippers reward their flocks with calm seas and plentiful fish harvests, although they do not ultimately exempt them from their schemes to ruin all things. Bullywugs occasionally stumble across a froghemoth and take to worshiping the monster as tribal deity, supplying it with food and a safe lair to lay eggs in. Though not terribly intelligent, the froghemoths eventually come to tolerate this relationship after eating only a few bullywugs. Lizard Folk are sometimes depicted worshiping and serving dragons, recognizing them as a kind of apex predator among their own kind. While dragons are intelligent and powerful, they're rarely ever truly divine. |

In Fushigi Yuugi, The Four Gods switch between beast and human forms, and their beast forms are (fittingly) at least Kaiju sized. Additionally, the Priestess is technically a Virgin Sacrifice to be Fed to the Beast, although if she is strong-willed enough, she may escape this fate and go on to live a more-or-less normal life in her own world. | |

Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019): It's revealed that ancient civilizations worshipped the Titans such as Godzilla as gods, even going as far as to form symbiotic relationships with the creatures where the humans and Titans benefited from each-other. The eco-terrorists' plan is partly based on the notion that humans can coexist with Titans once again as the creatures are slowly waking up from hibernation, with the ending confirming that the eco-terrorists at least got this part of their agenda right. | |

Garrett, P.I.: Garrett once consulted a priest of a minor TunFaire snake-cult about two even less-successful cults along the Street of the Gods. Attempting to impress Garrett, the priest told the investigator that his cult has a genuine, for-real god-snake big enough to swallow horses at its temple. Garrett was thrilled to hear it ... but only because he hates horses. | |

In Spice and Wolf, Holo is a gigantic wolf who was worshiped by a village as a harvest goddess until the Church converted most of the people and she decides to leave with a traveling merchant.

Doctor Who: The dominant lifeform on the Ogron home planet is a giant slug-like lizard named the Eater, and the Ogrons both pray to and are preyed on by it. In "The Power Of Kroll", a giant alien squid is worshiped as a god by the indigenous people. It's so big its intestinal gas is collected as fuel by the colonists. The size is because it swallowed a segment of the Key to Time. |

John Carter of Mars: In Thuvia, Maiden of Mars, the Lotharians worship Komal, who is supposedly a great beast god, but is in fact merely an unusually large banth (the Barsoomian equivalent of a lion.) | |

Godzilla (1954): The inhabitants of Odo Island, an old Japanese fishing village, once worshipped a sea monster they call "Gojira", even sacrificing young virgins to sate the beast when fishing was poor. By 1954, most of these antiqued traditions have stopped, but unfortunately, it turns out the monster is all too real... | |

Inheritance Cycle features a rare sapient example in the form of the pterosaur-like Lethrblaka worshipped in a Town with a Dark Secret called Dras-Leona. Juvenile specimens (called Ra'zac) are closer to humans in size and general body shape, but they share a lair with the grown Lethrblaka note Which isn't too crowded an arrangement, since only four specimens are thought to remain: two Ra'zac and two Lethrblaka. and accept human sacrifices from Dras-Leona too. | |

The ancient human civilizations in The New Age Of Monsters used to worship the kaijus, constructing giant buildings that could accommodate their size and praying for their support and protection. The Houtua and Iwi are tribes that stayed loyal to their gods (Mothra and Kong respectively) to the present day. Due to her role as protector of the human race, Mothraism has started to gain more and more followers all over the globe. |

In Pig Hunt, the hippie cult worships the Ripper: a 3000 lb. boar that roams the woods around the commune. They abduct hunters and others they find the woods and chain them up as Human Sacrifices for the boar. | |

In The Dark Profit Saga lizardfolk are said to be wired to worship "something" due to being created as the dark gods' shock troops. Often they end up adopting some sort of monster as their "god". In the first book the party encounters a tribe worshiping a stone drake. | |
