Bones for bigger creatures

+0
−0

Aye so, so I been thinking about the square cube law and such and I was wondering if say, for a humanoid or a human or some creature, to be larger than average but keep similar proportions to the original body (not the exact same but) would it be possible for a creature to get bigger but not so drastically different looking by having bones made of stronger stuff? What material would the bones have to be? Would it be possible to have lighter but stronger bones to support the size but not make them too heavy?

Hope this question makes sense; if not, my many apologies
