== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* The Pretenders in ''[[Transformers]]''. There was never really a "reveal" that within the [[Badass]] Bludgeon was a puny robot (the audience knew all along--italong—it's a [[Merchandise-Driven]] series after all), but even he knew how lame his inner robot was.
* Averted twice-over in ''[[Inuyasha]]'' with Juromaru and Kageromaru. Juromaru was tough, but Kageromaru lived in Juromaru's stomach and was much worse. However, Juromaru was a monster of his own, not just a shell for the other.
** Mouryoumaru is an ''[[Inuyasha]]'' example that plays the trope straight.
Line 20:
* Kind of applies to the ''[[Vision of Escaflowne]]'' manga, where the [[Big Bad]] is actually a little kid that projects a much older, uglier image of himself so that he'll look more formidable.
* ''[[One Piece]]'' has Gecko Moria, who hides inside the giant zombie Oars. Though turns out Moria is just as dangerous as the giant zombie.
* Inverted in ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. {{spoiler|The Evas are [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]]s that wear [[Humongous Mecha]] suits, and the suits don't make them more powerful, but rather limit their size and strength to a level at which they can still be controlled.}}
* Envy of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' claims his true form to be {{spoiler|a house-sized, multi-legged [[Eldritch Abomination]] easily capable of crushing the heroes. However, this is a lie; his true form is weak, newt-like form that can fit in the palm of a person's hand. Ultimately, Ed is dismissive enough of him to let Mei leave with him sealed in a jar}}.
* One of the demons ''[[Zatch Bell]]'' battles is like this, using its powers of animation to move and fight inside a durable, massive body.
Line 26:
== [[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.
