Answer:

Hyperbole

Step-by-step explanation:

A hyperbole is exaggerating the physical dimensions of something to add effect. For example:

"The beast could reach the moon with its claws"

It's highly unlikely that the beast could actually touch the moon with its claws, but the hyperbole is used to dramatize and make a point of how large it is.

Hope this made sense!
