Clifford was growing large at this point, from all the love and adoration his subjects gave him, now that he was their glorious and supreme leader.
He was the size of a full grown elephant now and he still continued to develop his hyena kingdom.

Then he scaled it up to an exaton nuke, and the mere threat of it, made everyone in the world worship him, causing him to grow as large as a mountain.
