Two monsters fight; one humanoid and the other a giant reptile. The humanoid monster may be an ogre, a giant, a cyclops or a non-human primate, whilst the reptile may be a dragon, a dinosaur, or a giant snake/lizard/crocodile/turtle.
The humanoid monster will use its fists, its intellect and the occasional Improvised Weapon, whilst the reptile will use its teeth, claws, and brute strength; if venom, constriction and/or fiery breath are avaliable, those will be used too. Expect the reptile to have the size advantage, too.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })This is a particularly common variant of Behemoth Battle where the humanoid monster is automatically more relatable, therefore more sympathetic, than the more repulsive reptilian monster (because Reptiles Are Abhorrent); expect the reptile to be designed to engender as little sympathy as possible. This also generally means the humanoid monster wins the fight.
Subtrope of Behemoth Battle. If the humanoid is a non-human primate, it is generally a King Kong Copy; however, that's not always true.

Aladdin: The Series: Inoked — and inverting the usual good and evil association — in an episode where Mirage and Chaos create an Evil Knockoff of Genie who goes on a rampage in Agrabah. In response, the real Genie (being a pop-culture-referencing shapeshifter) turns into a Godzilla-like monster and the two engage in a Behemoth Battle, with the Evil Genie keeping his humanoid form.

King Kong:
The Trope Codifier is King Kong (1933), in which the titular ape fights a Tyrannosaurus rex, a serpent-like plesiosaur and a giant pterosaur. In fact, pretty much every incarnation of King Kong has had one of these fights.
King Kong vs. Godzilla is Exactly What It Says On The Tin: a fight between the saurian Godzilla and the great ape Kong.
King Kong Escapes: Kong fights the theropod-like giant monster Gorosaurus.
King Kong (1976): Although there are no dinosaurs in this film, Kong fights a giant snake.
King Kong (2005): The film ups the stakes by Kong fighting not one, not two, but three tyrannosaurs (named Vastatosaurus in this film).
In Kong: Skull Island, Kong is presented as a benevolent protector of the island, fighting off the reptilian monsters called Skullcrawlers who prey on smaller creatures, including humans.

In Frankenstein Conquers the World, the antagonist is Baragon, an enormous, tunnelling, predatory reptillian monster, as opposed to the Gentle Giant mutated human Frankenstein.

In The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, the dragon that serves as Sokurah's Right-Hand Attack Dog fights a Cyclops; given that neither party is meant to be particularly heroic (although the dragon is a Tragic Monster), the dragon wins.

In Rampage (2018), the climactic battle of the film is between the gigantic gorilla George and the even more gigantic crocodile Lizzie, after Lizzie quickly kills George's previous opponent, Ralph the giant wolf.

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story: In one of the numerous occasions where the brothers need to turn Boswer kaiju-sized in order to deal with a giant foe, the supersized ox-dragon-turtle in question squares off against the robotic Tower of Yikk, whose mechanical arms and legs and face-like top make it distinctly humanoid.
