I was looking for a trope about unintended (negative) consequences, and stumbled across the cobra effect. Which is a cool story and a neat thing, but it's kind of a bit tangential to what's actually happening here. And then it hit me:
Summon Bigger Fish is where you specifically invoke or summon a big or nasty monster to help you deal with some other monster.
Now where have I seen that before...?
