| - In many a story, Giant Monster Attacks are a common theme, usually when it comes to the main antagonist (or a minor one) whom capable to transform into giant monster (some case overlapped with the One-Winged Angel case if the villain's monstrous form is very huge) or IS a giant monster in nature attacking a city, a place, or a ship for these reasons:
* For sadistic amusement.
* To hunt down the hero.
* To claim a sacrifice.
* To lay a siege on a nation. Godzilla's attack on Tokyo is a classic, let alone the Giant Squid attacking the Nautilus in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, but there are many kinds of Giant Monster Attacks:
* Dragon Attack: Common in medieval fantasies, the dragon lays a siege on a kingdom or village, setting buildings on fire, kidnapping princesses, and ravaging the land until the brave knight shows up to defeat it.
* Sea Monster Attack: A kraken or sea serpent attacks a ship, usually wrapping itself around it, dragging it down to the depths, and consuming the crew.
* City/Kaiju Attack: A bipedal monster attacks a city, devouring civilians, crushing vehicles and tearing down buildings.
* Super-Powered Form Attack: The main antagonist takes the form of a giant monster in the final climax when going through a breakdown and/or challenging the hero.
