The time has come, and after much journeying and many plot twists, the heroes are finally going to face the [[Big Bad]]. Unfortunately, there's a problem: said [[Big Bad]] is much stronger than they ever could have imagined. Its power is monstrous, its defenses impenetrable, and no matter what they do, the heroes can't so much as get it to flinch. Despair and woe, the villain has triumphed! His victory is assured!
Line 25:
 
== [[Film]] ==
* In ''[[Team America: World Police]]'', {{spoiler|Kim Jong-il turns out to be a [[Refuge in Audacity|cockroach from space]]}}.
* In ''The Brotherhood Of The Wolf'', the dreaded Beast is revealed to be {{spoiler|a trained lion in a [[Monster Suit]]. Still dangerous, but more deserving of sympathy, given how it was abused into acting like a monster}}.
* ''[[Labyrinth]]''. When the protagonists reach the entrance to the Goblin City, they're confronted by a giant robot-like creature. It turns out that the robot is being controlled by a small goblin inside of it.
Line 31:
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* In the [[Toku]] ''[[Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger]]'', the villain Sargain is a small robotic ant piloting a human-sized robot body
* In ''[[Angel (TV)|Angel]]'', the demon known as the Beast in season 4 is revealed to be simply a minion of the real big bad, the demon-hijacked Cordelia.
 
== [[Tabletop RPG]] ==
Line 38:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Yu Yevon from ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' is the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|embodiment]] of this trope.
* Lavos from ''[[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|Chrono Trigger]]'', who has ''two'' shells. Of course, the inner forms aren't any weaker the the outer ones...
* King Boo from ''[[LuigisLuigi's Mansion (Video Game)|Luigis Mansion]]'' would probably fit into this category with his {{spoiler|Bowser suit}}.
* The [[Final Boss]] of ''[[Okami]]'' gives Yu Yevon a run for its money: {{spoiler|Yami the Dark Lord is actually a harmless baby seal in a jar controlling a gargantuan, mechanical sphere.}}
* {{spoiler|Shadow Mitsuo}} from ''[[Persona 4]]'' is a creepy floating baby capable of summoning an "outer shell" in the shape of a giant, pixelated 8-bit warrior. Though the real deal is far more dangerous than the shell.
* Poseidon creates one made out of the ''sea'' in ''[[God of War (Video Gameseries)|God of War]] 3'' to fight Kratos and Gaia in the beginning of the game.
* In ''[[Mario and Luigi Bowsers Inside Story (Video Game)|Mario and Luigi Bowsers Inside Story]]'', the final fight ''seems'' to be against Dark Bowser. However, when you pound on him enough, he spits out Dark Fawful which you need to inhale. Inside Bowser's body, Mario and Luigi then need to fight that Dark Fawful. In a slight subversion to this trope, Dark Fawful may be small, but so are the Mario Brothers inside Bowser. And in there, Dark Fawful is everything but puny and in fact very dangerous.
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* In ''[[Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo]]'', our heroes are facing a huge ink monster controlled by the [[Big Bad]], but luckily the keystone to the entire thing is the cursed artist whose strings are being pulled by the [[Big Bad]].
* Done with a good guy in the ''[[Ben 10 (Animation)|Ben 10]]'' [[The Movie|movie]] ''Secret of the Omnitrix'': Azmuth winds up being a Grey Matter in a Cannonbolt suit.
* Skulker in ''[[Danny Phantom]]''. His real appearance is a small ghost made of ectoplasm, and his normal look is only his [[Powered Armor]].
* An episode of ''[[Big Guy and Rusty Thethe Boy Robot (Animationanimation)|Big Guy and Rusty The Boy Robot]]'' featured "Po the Destroyer", a giant hulking brute of an alien that mops the floor with Big Guy, but is later revealed to be a very short alien in a robot suit.
* Similar to the ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' above, Se?Siniestro from ''Manny Riviera: The Adventure of El Tigre'', is just classmate of Manny and Frida with a knack for controlling a titanical battle suit which in turn can control an ''[[Meta Mecha|even bigger]]''[[Meta Mecha|battle suit]].
* Done with a hulking bounty hunter in [[Star Wars: theThe Clone Wars]] who turns out to be a 1 foot tall alien in a big suit of armor. Then subverted where he is still an asskicker outside his costume later on. He built the suit more for looks than anything, as a tiny alien is less impressive to potential employers than a huge, hulking alien of unknown species.
